Patient Reviews

We recently moved from Raleigh and needed a new dental practice.  My husband and I could not be happier with Amato Dentistry.  The entire staff were so warm, welcoming and friendly.  We were also very impressed with their state-of-the-art equipment and their knowledge.

We can not recommend them enough if you are needing a dental practice in The High Country.

Tammy Tanoury

My wife and I recently came to Amato Dentistry as new patients. Our experience was one of the best we’ve had with a dental practice. The entire staff was warm and welcoming, the office was a calm environment, and the care was exceptional. The entire process from the new patient paperwork through checkout was friendly, efficient, and smooth. Every detail was handled with care. Both of our cleanings and exams were filled with education about our teeth health and ways we could improve. Their equipment is state of the art and the teeth scans they provide are an amazing visual to your teeth health. We are thrilled to be a part of Amato Dentistry.

Scott Banks

This is the best dentist office I have ever been to. Every single staff member is professional, courteous, and welcoming. Dr Amato is wonderful- compassionate and kind and you can tell he truly cares about his patients. Comfortable environment, with great dental work. Absolutely takes all of the worry away about going to the dentist. Would recommend to anyone. So glad I have found this office to be my dentist.
