Dr. Grant James Haviland

It’s been years since going to him, but each cleaning I would always have at least one cavity. The last straw was when he said my top front tooth had a cavity. When he said that the hygienist had a look of pure shock on her face. Needless to say I changed dentists and amazingly enough my new dentist said there was no cavity on my front tooth. I have not had a cavity since either. Makes you wonder how I went from at least one cavity every cleaning to none in the last 8 or more years. Definitely not a dentist I would ever recommend. The rest of the staff were great, though.

I switched dentists after getting my braces removed as a teenager and have been coming to Dr. Haviland since (6+ yrs.) The office and front bathroom are very clean and the rooms themselves are simple and bright thanks to the nice windows the building has. I have never had an issue with the quality of care or service here and really enjoy Dr. Haviland's upbeat attitude. He will make you laugh at least once during your visit and tries his best to answer any and all questions. I've been seen by two or three different dental hygienists and they've all been great. Amy for example has cleaned my teeth the last two times I've been and she was incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic, and charismatic (shes my favorite dental hygienist!) I strongly recommend this practice and have personally recommend them to everyone I know in search/in need of dental care/services. A big thank-you to Dr. Haviland and Staff for all the incredible work you do! I switched dentists after getting my braces removed as a teenager and have been coming to Dr. Haviland since (6+ yrs.)

Usually not bad but this time was horrible and I won’t be going back. He always talks to the dental assistant the WHOLE time he is working on my mouth but this time they were so caught up in talking about the tv show they are watching that he ignored I was not numb and felt him drilling in my tooth. After the fact joked about he didn’t know if I was laughing or trying to tell him I was in pain. Usually not bad but this time was horrible and I won’t be going back.

If you can think freely for yourself and care to make decisions on your own health and well-being, Haviland is not the dental hygienist for you. Staff was wonderful and shocked at how he treated me during the initial appointment. I tried to talk with him to maybe work out what went wrong during the visit but it was a no go from him. I am still in shock and left wondering what went wrong. Guess I am safer not going back to this office ever again.

Dr. Haviland is the most unprofessional dentist I have ever encountered. HE WILL MESS YOUR MOUTH UP. Trust me, I know they might seem nice, but they are horrible. If you are thinking of becoming a new patient, DON'T DO IT.

Wonderful staff and facilities.

Positively the best dentist in the Piedmont area. He and his staff are the kindest and most professional that I have ever known in my 47 years.

Great facility and amazing staff! Even my son, who is extremely afraid of the dentist, does great! They go the extra mile for him, knowing he's so nervous. I would recommend to anyone!

Dr. Haviland is awesome! He is so down to earth. He makes you feel comfortable. His staff is the best and I will never go anywhere else!

Beyond disappointed with the level of professionalism. I originally went into Dr. Havilands office to fix my top front teeth that were heavily decalcified. While in the same exam he pointed out i had 2 small cavaties on my top left molars and 2 on my bottom left molars. I had the top 2 done that day and didnt seem to have an issue. However he was very quick to finish and get up an walk away before even checking my bite to see if the fillings were high.. Turns out later on they were. But before i found that out, i went back a couple weeks later to get my bottom 2 done. After i went home and numbness went away, i had excruciating pain in my jaw and couldnt open it. After icing all day it slowly went down. A couple days later i scheduled another appointment because i was having pain in those teeth when i bit down. They felt like i had an arching bridge in my teeth. Only two teeth could touch. Looking at and feeling these fillings was not right, i felt like he had taken a valley out of my tooth and for no reason. Turns out i was right. The assistant i later saw told me he had been over zealous and took my tooth down too far and created weak spots that were flexing causing me pain. I came in several more times for the same issues and finally after rotating through all of the staff, dr haviland offered to refill my cavaties. Before that however he tried fixing my bite again and literally told me "just taking a stab in the dark" drilling random teeth and taking away natural tooth that was never even worked on. I agreed to the fillings being redone hoping to just be rid of the pain and not having money to go anywhere else. He didnt numb be but 5 seconds before stabbing the needles in which brought me to tears. I went home and my teeth were 10x worse. I could tell before the numbing even went away. He had undone what the assistant originally fixed and put yet another valley in my tooth and took one of them down to the gum line. What a nightmare. This last adjustment made it so that only my back tooth on my left side hit and it hit heavy causing me pain in my jaw. I had a gap between my molars large enough to fit 2 grains of rice unharmed. So i went in again. Now, instead of that one tooth hitting, none of them do. And now my right side hurts. I called them back today and they responded "He's done all he knows how to do." Months of pain. Dental insurance drained. About a dozed of missed work days. And no hope of me ever getting my teeth right ever again. I havent been able to chew on that side at all let alone rest my jaw. Also in the meantime my front six teeth i went in for? Theyre worse now..and cant fix them until my bites correct. And since i spent the money on the other teeth that got messed up, im that much further from them getting fixed and they will develop into a worse and more costly problem.

Dr. Haviland and his staff have been nothing short of spectacular every time we have been there. We see them every 6 months like clockwork. I couldn't imagine anything else. They have worked with all of our schedule changes and has even worked us in for restorative dental work 2 times. Once for myself when I chipped a front tooth and once When my daughter broke her new front tooth off. He is amazing!

I have never had a dentist treat me so poorly. Im always nice. He seems to have an attitude towards me every time. In may i needed him to remove a jaw tooth that was and is causing me pain. Well he went to grab it with the tool and I turned my head his direction and he tossed his equipment down and told his hygienist that I must of woke up on the wrong side of the bed. That its not in him to pull the tooth. I was crying and begging him to pull it.. What a mean and hurtful person.

Nice facilities and nice staff. They are able to see you within a few days of calling to make an appointment, which is hard to find!

Wonderful office and friendly staff. They are knowledgeable and take a modern approach to dentistry while keeping a home town feel.

Wow, Normally I am Not a Big Fan of The Dentist. People, Let me tell you. this Dentist has a Great personality and an Awesome Staff, He made my Dental Experience Virtually Painless. Thanks .

I typically hate going to the dentist, but the atmosphere is very friendly and laid back. Everyone is very approachable and Dr. Haviland doesn't make me feel like I'm going to finance his next vacation. He is really down to earth and care about my concerns.

I went to Dr. Haviland for several years due to the convenient location. I didn't need anything more than cleanings and xrays at first. The assistants and hygienists are great, so I overlooked Dr. Haviland's distasteful bedside manner- Most of the time he talked and laughed with his assistants the whole time I was in the chair. It made me feel like he wasn't focused on what he was doing when it came time for real dental work. He recommended a crown on a tooth that had two perfectly healthy neighboring teeth. Friends suggested that I should not mess with a crown if the neighboring teeth were healthy. His next suggestion was an implant. When I went to the specialist for an evaluation they told me it was healthy enough for a plain old-fashioned filling. I wasn't impressed with his filling work either. My filling was rough and flat. I returned to have it "fixed", but the filling was still flat and affected my bite. This is when I gave up and made an appointment with another dentist, who fixed Dr. Haviland's filling for free with my next cleaning. Don't let the fancy office fool you. You will find much better workmanship, advice, and bedside manner elsewhere. I went to Dr. Haviland for several years due to the convenient location.

Dr Haviland is very respectful, attentive, and understanding.He makes you very comfortable. Speaking to him is easy. Also his staff is great. I recommend his services to everyone.

Was having an issue with another dentist that could not fix a problem that my wife and I were having. We tried Dr. Haviland and are 100% happy with the results! He was able to fix an issue for my wife that others said could not be fixed and he found a cavity on me that had been overlooked elsewhere. Caught it while it only needed to be a filling! Definitely recommend and will be back! Was having an issue with another dentist that could not fix a problem that my wife and I were having. We tried Dr. Haviland and are 100% happy with the results!
