- Sade Perry, 5 out of 5 stars, 3 months ago: My son had to get four teeth pulled due to wanting his braces to be affective so 4 perfectly not decayed teeth but the dentist and the assistant made the experience so effortlessly and smooth. The dentist communicated with my son the whole time to let him know what he was doing and the experience was wonderful for me and my son and we so appreciate it. Also the front desk people were polite and helpful😊
- Eva Brock, 5 out of 5 stars, 2 months ago: Listen I have had the worst experience with Dentists but finding Akron family dental was amazing! They are so thorough so patient and helpful... They just have this incredible way of making you feel comfortable almost like you're at home! I continue to go back and I bring my children 10 out of 10 I recommend this place out of any other dental office
- Yvonne Cross, 5 out of 5 stars, 2 months ago: Excellent care with my disabled daughter, she needed a tooth extraction and they did a fabulous job! Very friendly staff, they were very professional in their work environment. 10 out of 10 to the two professionals that took care of my daughter. Thank you very much.
- Michael Lewis, 4 out of 5 stars, 4 months ago: They done a x ray and had me bite down on this thinga mu jig and I had to tell the lady more than once that it was scraping me. Finally she got the message and got a utensil that did not scrape my gums. After that I went to the hygienist to do my teeth cleaning and she done a good job and was very accommodating. The service today was pretty prompt too.
- Adam Landers, 5 out of 5 stars, 2 months ago: Every time I go on inside, the staff is always really courteous. And very professional. They have met my expectations, except for a couple instances where the weight was a little long, but the service has always been exceptional.
- Dania Kab, 5 out of 5 stars, 5 months ago: Such professional and kind staff. I was their first patient early in the morning, and they were all prepared, excited, and worked together to get me in and out of there. I would recommend them to anyone. Made me feel comfortable and took care of my issues!
- Sara Cerk, 5 out of 5 stars, 2 months ago: So far so good. Was so desperate with pain, went in for emergency appt and they really seemed to care, and provided a helpful plan to move forward. Xray tech was extremely kind and sweet! I've found my new dentist!
- Kathin Carpenter, 5 out of 5 stars, a month ago: Very friendly and caring staff. Minus the lady that's in charge behind the desk I almost didn't get to be seen because of her but they listen to me knew I was in pain and took care of me and I thank them for that. I don't know her name but they had to ask her first the look she gave me was bad and the answer was no until I pleaded my case
- NIkole, 5 out of 5 stars, a month ago: Great experience!! I love coming here because the staff is very professional, Deanna did my feelings she was very gentle and quick! I've always had great experience here!
- Thomas Ziegler, 4 out of 5 stars, 3 months ago: Pretty quick. Glad I got there early for the walk in they didn’t tell me they only took 4 a day. The ladies who helped me were kind and caring was worried cuz all the bad reviews but figured I take a chance. I wish they would have pulled the teeth causing the server pain but I get why they couldn’t. Sucks I have to wait to may for that That’s the only downside is it takes so long to get an actual appointment
- Barbara Herring, 5 out of 5 stars, 5 months ago: The receptionist processed me in a timely manner and was very courteous. I was very pleased with both the dentist and the assistance. I am a new patient and so far from my service and treatment, I would highly recommend Akron Family Dental and encourage others to give them a try.
- Geovonty Townsend, 5 out of 5 stars, 3 months ago: Fantastic job on refilling my filling that came out and also for squeezing my Deep Cleaning that was scheduled month away in! I've been with you all for many years, keep up the fantastic service all around!
- Jennifer Jones, 5 out of 5 stars, 3 weeks ago: My sons dentist was incredibly kind, he even played special music for my son. I was really impressed by all the changes I've seen since I first spent there almost 15 years ago.
- Brandy Davis, 5 out of 5 stars, 5 months ago: Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient! I let my teeth get pretty bad but Akron Family Dental didn’t judge me. They just came up with a plan to fix it! Excellent service!

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

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.

What patients ask us
We take nearly all types of insurance including Medicaid. We also offer pre-payment discounts to patients and offer senior citizen discounts.
You can definitely be seen with same day emergency care and walk-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, and 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.
