**Long review but worth the read!** Im one if those people who absolutely feared going to the dentist. I used to compare going to the dentist as going to the DMV. You leave feeling frustrated, about to cry and you hate the whole world and everyone in it. After not seeing a dentist for about 7 years I had major problems going on with not only my teeth but my gums. I had two bottom front teeth that were very loose and a gum line that was receding badly. I finally called Allegany Dental, in July, and they set me up with an appointment with Dr. Carella. After talking with Dr. Carella for a few minutes all my worries about dentists went away. He has a very calm and professional personality, and put me at ease. We discussed my concerns and he told me about what he planned to do to help me have a brighter smile and stable teeth. A week later I went back to get all the plaque cleaned off my teeth and have a splint put in, on the back of my four lower front teeth, to stabilize my two loose teeth. I was not terrified once! Dr. Carella was super nice and very comforting the whole time. He did not make me feel little once, as some dentists made me feel in the past. After that appointment, I needed to make four more for what they call quad cleaning. If you dont know what that is, look it up on Google. Ive already written so much and have much more to write. My first quad cleaning was with Erin. Oh my goodness! She is so awesome and sweet! Very professional and comforting! My gums are super sensitive and I needed to be numbed up. I was very anxious about the needle but she numbed me with a topical gel before inserting the needle and I didnt even feel it!!! She has done an outstanding job with cleaning up my teeth and especially my gums! She showed me the proper way to clean my teeth and gave me some ideas of what products to get to help keep my mouth healthy. Each time I had to make an appointment, I asked for Erin because she made me feel at ease. Everyone who works at this location is very professional and kind. But I feel that Dr. Carella and Erin went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and at ease. Today was my last quad cleaning and they showed me a before picture, before my teeth were touched by a dental tool, and an after picture, after Erin cleaned and polished my teeth. I couldnt believe the difference!!! If I didnt know what my teeth looked like before, I would have not believed that these pictures were of the same teeth. I am overjoyed at the end result. I will refer everyone I know to this office and location. I highly recommend them and highly recommend the team of Dr. Carella and Erin!

I was here last week to have one of my wisdom teeth pulled. They did an excellent job numbing my gums and removing my tooth with ease. I experienced absolutely no pain whatsoever during the entire process nor during the days of recovery afterwards. I was also here two weeks prior to having my wisdom tooth pulled for a six month check up, and could tell the hygienist who cleaned my teeth was very experienced at what she did, I experienced no discomfort which is unprecedented during these kind of checkups for me, especially around my gums. At any rate, I would highly recommend these guys to anybody, especially those who are nervous about having any kind of work done in their mouth like me. The staff and doctors that work here are easy to talk to and confident professionals in everything they do.

My family & I have used Allegany Dental Care for approximately 9 years and absolutely love them. Dr. McCafferty and the staff are extremely friendly & accommodating. I just chipped a tooth last night and when I called in this morning to see when I would be able to be seen, they were able to fit me in today! We originally started out with Allegany Dental when my wife had an insurance plan they accepted and now, even though we no longer carry that insurance, we still choose to pay out of pocket, just so we can know we are well taken care of for our dental needs. If you are looking for a highly professional dental practice who really cares about their clients, my family and I highly recommend Dr. McCafferty at Allegany Dental Care on Leightersburg Pike in Hagerstown.

I absolutely loved my experience at Allegheny dental care! Dr. Carella was extremely professional, personable, and walked me through every step of my first filling. I was a little nervous going in, but he made me feel very comfortable throughout the process. He even noticed some damage to my teeth from grinding (Ive been doing it forever) and offered to make me a night guard that was much better than the bulky rubber one I had been using for years. I was very pleased with the work he did, and will certainly be returning for all of my future care!

I would like to highly recommend Dr. Tom McCafferty and his very friendly and caring staff, Heather and Carly, at Allegany Dental Care. I opted for implants with snap-on dentures. A temporary denture was made which allowed me to never be without teeth while the implant procedure was healing. Dr. Tom was so very particular and precise that my permanent snap-on dentures are perfect. The complete program was managed very smoothly and efficiently by the staff. Thanks to an exceptional great team.

I can recommend them to anyone! Not only did they fix my tooth (which had a piece break off) they made me feel at ease. I normally see Dr Smith but he was out of town so I saw Dr Carella today and he is awesome! If you are looking for great dental care, I can highly recommend them all! My kids and I have been patients there since 2006 and I cant say enough nice things about everyone there. The office is clean and bright and they have a kids area in the waiting room. Check them out!

When my insurance changed years ago I could no longer see my lifelong dentist. Dr. Mac was the first dentist I have seen in 7 years that I actually liked. He and his staff are wonderful and I would never go to anyone else.
