Was our first visit. Overall, a very good experience! All the staff (front desk, hygienist and doctor) were all very courteous, personable and professional. They explained everything very well and were thorough. Only complaint - despite being early for our appt, we were not seen until 15-20 min after our scheduled appointment time. They did seem to be very busy and I understand that things happen, but if we had been 1/2 hour late, we probably would’ve had to reschedule. Our time is important too! However, again, overall good experience otherwise. Will more than likely return.

  • Maria Williams, 5 out of 5 stars, a month ago: I had a visit today at this dentist office. I had a great experience. The dental assistant named SHANNON was the best. She was really patient with me. I felt comfortable and I didn’t feel embarrassed about my circumstances leading up to my visit. I really appreciate her help in answering my questions and helping me understand the next steps and procedures that I need in my upcoming visits. Thank you so Very Much Shannon.
  • Thomas Durisek, 5 out of 5 stars, a month ago: I had been to two different Dental offices prior to seeing Lake County Dental with no positive outcome. When I called LCD the receptionist was very kind and I was able to come in the next day. I received excellent care and was able to have six cavities filled and one tooth removed. I would highly recommend Lake County Dental! Thomas D.
  • Bridgette Brooks, 5 out of 5 stars, 2 months ago: I had an emergency appointment for a tooth that was causing tremendous pain. Every step along the way included exceptional customer service and compassion. My appointment scheduling over the phone was pleasant. My exam and X-rays went well and both the dental assistant and doctor explained everything well. The ladies responsible for checking me in and out were also very friendly. I give this office a 10 out 10.
  • Sarah, 5 out of 5 stars, 3 months ago: Had such a great experience at Lake County Dental! Every single staff member was super friendly from start to finish, which made a huge difference for me. I have pretty bad dental anxiety, and they were all so patient, gentle, and reassuring the entire time. Truly made me feel comfortable and cared for - highly recommend!!

Our own dental labs

Your crown comes from our own labs

Made here, adjusted here.

The Cleveland Dental Management family runs its own dental labs: crowns and bridges are built in Ravenna, and dentures and partials in Akron, by technicians who work only with our dentists. That means a better fit and faster turnarounds, made between your visits.

Made by our own technicians

Skilled hands who work only with our dentists, so your restoration is built to match your bite and your smile.

Faster turnarounds

No waiting on an outside lab means fewer trips back and forth and a quicker finish.

Fixed close to home

If something ever needs an adjustment, it is handled by our own labs, not put in the mail.

Step 1

Scan

We capture your tooth in detail, so the fit is right from the start.

Step 2

Craft

Our own technicians shape and finish your restoration by hand.

Step 3

Fit

You return for a fit that is checked and adjusted, right here.

What waiting costs you

Small things stay small when they are seen early.

  • A cleaning every six months keeps small problems small.
  • Gums that are not healthy get seen every three or four months until they are.
  • A root canal ends the pain and saves the tooth instead of pulling it.
  • Cost should never be the reason care waits. Payment plans are there when you need them.

Your first visit is one call away.

New patients are always welcome. Call or send the form, tell us a good time, and you leave your first visit with a clear plan and the cost up front.

What patients ask us

We take nearly all types of insurance including Medicaid.

You can definitely be seen with same day emergency care and walks-ins are welcome.

We are a FAMILY dental practice that treats patients of ALL ages. We do silver fillings, white fillings, crowns, dentures, partials, repair dentures, root canals, extractions, wisdom teeth removal, implants, teeth whitening, mouth guards, children’s dentistry, senior citizen dentistry.

The brand of the toothbrush is not as critical as the type of bristle and the size of the head. A soft toothbrush with a small head is recommended because medium and hard brushes tend to cause irritation and contribute to recession of the gums, and a small head allows you to get around each tooth more completely and is less likely to injure your gums. It’s unnecessary to “scrub” the teeth as long as you are brushing at least twice a day and visiting your dentist at least twice a year for cleanings.
