Smiles By Farr

Dr. Farr is the best! I’ve gone to a few dentists in the past and I finally found one that does a fantastic job and seems to care about the best interest of his patients. The members of his staff have been wonderful! I would definitely recommend Smiles by Farr!

I’ve been to 6 or 7 dentists over the past 50+ years, and Dr. Farr is definitely the best! My first visit was earlier this year and I’ve been there a few times since. He and his entire staff are very friendly, and they go out of their way to make your visit as pleasant as possible.
Best of all, this was my first totally pain-​free dental experience, even though he had to do much work with the dreaded dental power tools to prepare my broken tooth for a crown. With other dentists, I always felt some pain during such processes, despite multiple shots of novacaine.
Because of those painful experiences, I had put off going to the dentist for several years. But no more! It’s a HUGE relief to finally find a great dentist I can really trust. Another big plus: My new crown looks 100% natural (unlike my older crowns put in by other dentists). No doubt about it … I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Farr!

I looked up dentists in the area that were covered by my dental insurance (via Humana.) Unfortunately, the dentist I had gone to previously was not covered, but found Dr. Farr in place based on great Unilocal reviews and proximity to my house. I was also happy to hear my friend goes to Dr. Farr.
I made an appointment for just a cleaning. The employee who I spoke to asked if I wanted to transfer my x-​rays over from my previous dentist so I wouldn’t have to get and pay for them again. I requested the x-​rays and emailed them over. I confirmed with this office that they had received them.
When I arrived to the office, I was greeted by Dr. Farr himself and another secretary when I arrived. I didn’t realize Dr. Farr was the one seated behind the front desk until he introduced himself; very friendly. I waited probably no longer than 10 – 15 minutes.
I was then brought into the room with the large x-​ray equipment. I reminded the technician that I had my x-​rays emailed over and again confirmed that they were received by the office. She recommended I get another set of x-​rays and I stated as long as I don’t have to pay for them again (and as long as my insurance covers it.) I got a full set of dental x-​rays and was then brought into another room. I had my teeth cleaned by the tech and then was seen by Dr. Farr. He is, like I said, very friendly and welcoming. He examined my teeth and we discussed one filling with re-​bonding on two baby teeth. I mentioned the concern for cost and he mentioned that my insurance should cover it. He gave recommendations for the work I should have done. I made an appointment in the next couple weeks to have those things addressed/​fixed.
When I received a bill in the mail, I was shocked to see a balance of $ 76. My insurance covers two cleanings per year and that is all I made an appointment for. There were three detailed services on the bill including the x-​ray that I stated I wasn’t going to pay for since they already had mine on file from my previous dentist. Also, keep in mind those previous x-​rays were not even a year old. The other two charges were for prophylaxis & exam. I know the dentist always looks at your teeth after a cleaning, but I just didn’t expect that to be a separate charge and was surprised my insurance didn’t cover both of those services. The office was kind enough to include a client discount, but overall, I did not expect to pay anything since I was expecting just a cleaning to be covered by insurance. I called the office to inquire and explained my situation with the x-​rays. They were kind and deducted that service from the bill, therefore, I did not have to pay anything after the client discount. I requested a pre-​determination estimate for the filling and re-​bonding and am glad I did because it would have cost me $ 1,055 out of pocket and my insurance company was not going to cover any of it. The office called me the day I received the estimate in the mail and asked if I received it. I said I did and how my insurance was not going to cover any of it. The woman I spoke to said sometimes there is a waiting period until insurance companies cover certain services so I said I would follow up with them and find out if, at all, they were planning on covering any of the estimated services. I’m glad I requested the estimate before going in to have the dental work done.
One star less for being charged for x-​rays that they already had on file, but overall, I’m happy with the cleaning I received and the dentist.

I hate going to the dentist. I’m not quite sure there’s many people who enjoy going to the dentist. Well after I moved to HE, I had to find a new dentist since my dentist was way too far for me to travel to. I started looking and finding reviews, wasn’t really sure how to go about looking for a dentist when I loathed finding one in the first place.
I came across Dr Farr’s Unilocal reviews and decided to give him a try and see if he was in my dental network. He was. Good thing too because I went in for tooth pain which turned out to be a small cavity that would need some repair. I also had a small chip in my front tooth that I wanted him to take a look at.
Dr. Farr was awesome. Personable, friendly, professional, and pretty much one of the nicest dentists I’ve ever met. One of the things I hate most about the dentist is the Novocaine shot. Well Dr. Farr is a pro and I didn’t feel a THING! Seriously, I was in awe that he was able to do it with no trouble at all. I’m telling you, I actually wouldn’t mind having to go to the dentist for a filling or any other tooth problems anymore. I would absolutely recommend Dr Farr to anyone who is need of a good dentist that you can trust.
I went again this year (6 months of not seeing him) and he still remembered me and asked me how my family was doing. He has two offices and lots of patients and yet he still remembers me, really solidified my thoughts and experiences with him.

Dr. Farr makes going to the dentist a breeze! I’ve been going to Smiles by Farr for several years now for teeth cleanings and have never had that dreaded dentist feeling. Dr. Farr is very nice and personable and the other staff members in the office are as well. The dental hygienist, Dawn, is also amazing– you can barely feel her doing the teeth cleaning and your gums don’t hurt afterwards.
Plus, you get a goodie bag every time! A toothbrush, tooth paste and a pen. Who doesn’t love that?!

Dr. Farr and his staff are very friendly and accomodating. They do a great job with working around schedules and reasonably accomodating when it comes to larger bills. I’ve had several dentists between my childhood dentist, whom I loved, and Dr. Farr. He’s easily the best, and I’d be hard pressed to switch unless he moved out of the area. Even then, I’d consider going to him for important things like root canals, caps, and fillings.

Best dentist I have ever been to. He is very thorough and does high quality work. Both he and his staff are very nice and personable. I don’t think anyone likes going to the dentist but after going to smiles by Farr I know longer mind going. Great staff, great dentist, beat decision you will ever make.

Best experience at the dentist, by «Farr!» I have been avoiding the dentist for over a year now, and after chipping my front tooth I really had no choice but to face my fears. I was referred to Dr. Farr by a coworker and am so happy to report today, that after yesterday’s visit, I have a beautifully restored smile :)
Dr. Farr was very sensitive to my anxiety and made the whole process a breeze. He explained what he was doing throughout the process and stopped whenever I needed to take a break. I have to admit, I believe I can be a dentist’s worst nightmare with my dental anxiety, but I actually felt like a normal patient yesterday. When I walked into work today, my coworkers complimented my new smile and I definitely felt a restored level of confidence that had been chipped away with my tooth for the last few months.
I am so happy to have my smile back, to have a reason to smile more, and to know that I have finally found a dentist that is so caring, professional, knowledgeable, and truly talented in cosmetic dentistry. I am actually looking forward to going back in the near future to take care of that long overdue, much needed implant in the back of my mouth. I know it will be a painless, stress-​free procedure as long as Dr. Farr is handling it! Thanks Dr. Farr (and your great staff) for making me feel like ME again!

I am extremely happy to have found Dr. Farr. I’ve jumped around between a few dentists for the past couple of years, looking for a good fit. And I do believe I’ve found it with Dr. Farr and his staff. First of all, everyone in the office is extremely personable as well as professional. I am not one who really enjoys going to the dentist (although I’m not sure I’ve met anyone who does!), so the likability of the staff certainly helps. My first appointment was a general check-​up and cleaning, as well as consultation on a few cavities I had left over from a previous dentist, who I didn’t prefer to go back to. The cleaning and check-​up were both great. The hygienist was very nice. But I was very impressed when it came time to meet Dr. Farr. He made the effort to get to know me a bit, even going so far as to ask what I’d been trying to find in a dentist. Then came time for him to look at my cavities, which I had been told was 4 by the previous dentist, which needed to be filled. When Dr. Farr took a look, he did confirm that there were 4, but he said that two of them looked as though they had been there for a bit, were on older teeth, and that they didn’t necessarily need to be filled right away. Certainly he would have if I wanted them filled, but suggested that it would be better to keep an eye on them in case they don’t need that much attention. I was very impressed as to the actual care and character that he showed in not jumping to fill all 4 if they didn’t need to be. And when it came time for my 2^nd appointment to actually get the fillings, he was did a great job of putting me at ease and keeping me comfortable. I strongly feel that I’ve found my permanent dentist. *phew* what a relief! :-)

Going to the dentist or doctor is a drag.
Dr. Michael Farr is extremely personable, gives me options and reccommendations — of which he explains in detail… and very funny. I am never breaking up with him.

Efficient, personable, calming, funny, nice digs, reasonably priced, adds up to excellent service. What more could a patient want?
Oh, yeah… awesome staff!
