Adams & Cheek Dentistry

I am writing this as a thank you to Dr Cheek, but a mere thank you cannot fully express the appreciation for his generous and kinds acts in replacing the tooth that would have been a "gap". So, please accept my eternal gratitude and heartfelt thanks for giving me a reason to continue smiling. more

I went to this doctor because I saw good ratings here on this web site. now I know that all these folks are his groupies. He has zero compassion with very blotted unclear and staggered fees. Get a loan before going there. I strongly urge everyone not to pay too much attention to these ratings. Cons: There is no compassion more

After having several bad experiences with my previous Dentist. A friend recommended Dr Adams to me. I was seen quickly as I had to have a root canal. I couldn't be happier with the final result. I have extreme anxiety when it comes to having any dental work done. Dr Adams made me feel comfortable and his nurse Joyce made sure I was comfortable during the procedure. All the staff is friendly and welcoming. You will not feel intimated. I am not afraid of the Dentist anymore. more

I recently called Dr. Adam's office for a consultation for a root canal. I was pleasantly surprised that they were able to see me within 48 hours, determine a treatment plan and schedule an appointment to have the work done. I had never had a root canal before and was a bit anxious from what you hear from other people. I am also a healthcare provider and believe I understand quality of medical care and have high expectations for my medical providers. Dr. Adam's staff was courteous, friendly and able to ease the sting of a very expensive procedure by explaining everything and making it as easy as possible by their explanations and friendliness. Joyce, Dr. Adams assistant was so gentle it was hard to tell she was working on a very sensitive tooth. Her gentleness and kindness made 3 hours in the dental chair bearable. Dr. Adams made sure I was in no pain, even the needles were hardly noticeable. He worked and worked on stubborn tooth roots and put on a new crown with as much ease seemingly as having a cavity filled. I was very pleased to have such a painfree, high quality experience and expect to visit their office again. Pros: Very friendly, helpful, kind staff, excellent equipment environment and knowledge Cons: None more

Best Dentist in Raleigh! Believe me, after moving from AZ two years ago, I have gone to two other dentists, and have finally found one I feel comfortable with. Dr. Adams is wonderful. He did two crowns for me. I am usually afraid of dentists, but Dr. Adams is so professional and gentle, that the procedure was done very quickly and with very little discomfort. His staff is very friendly and caring. Thank you to Cookie, for making me feel at home and to Tamara, the hygenist, who is also great. Dr. Adams and his staff made me feel like we were all old friends. more

I decided to try this dental office based upon the reviews on Citysearch. The reviewers (giving high ratings) were obviously right. I was very impressed with Dr. Cheek's directness and honesty during our initial consultation. I immediately moved my family's dental care to their office. The staff was also very friendly and service oriented!!! Pros: Saturday hours, nice office, friendly and knowledgable dentist Cons: None more

I had a lot of tooth pain this past week. It turns out I needed a root canal. I never had a root canal before so I did not know what to expect. Dr Craig performed a root canal in one 2 hour visit. The next day my tooth was a little sore but I was virtually pain free! I appreciate the courteous and knowledable staff. I found myself a new dentist! Pros: Experienced, Explains things very well, Can do procedures in one visit. Cons: Not on my dental plan but who cares! more

Many thanks to Dr. Adams and his great staff for giving me back the confidence to smile, laugh out loud, eat whatever I like, and yes, even to kiss with confidence! But most of all, for helping me to overcome feeling defeated by my dental problems. I now have a positive attitude about my dental future, and you can to. For years I endured dental problems. And with each of these emotional and financial setbacks came my increased resignation that my teeth were ultimately doomed. And so, I rationalized there was no point in spending more dollars for preventive care or advanced work. I was defeated. Then I moved to Raleigh and started going to Dr. Adams in 2000......but only when I had problems......like I said, I felt my teeth were a losing battle. I even called him from California on a Friday to say a tooth fell apart and could he see me Saturday as I had to fly to another conference on Sunday.....HE DID....and because of the short notice, had no assistants to help. You gotta be a helluva dedicated Doctor to help people like that.......people who don't come in for regular checkups, don't take consistently good care of their teeth, who then need you at the last and most inconvenient moment (me). Finally, my last dental disaster caused Dr. Adams to advise that if I didn't make a stand now, I would soon face the reality I have feared for decades. What changed my attitude in those few moments, after nearly 30 years of retreating, was his confidence, commitment and encouragement of what could be done. As I look back now, I realize that this was the first and only dentist I ever had who personally cared more about me than I did in terms of my dental health and overall well being. I don't how to explain more clearly how important that personal care & commitment is, but it really makes the difference. So, take a positive step forward and call Dr. Adams. Tell him your concerns, and isten to his advice. AJD1 / Raleigh Pros: Very caring and encouraging Cons: None more

Dr. Adams and staff are extremely caring, patient, and professional. My mouth presented Dr. Adams with a real challenge. ALL THE THANKS IN THE WORLD to Dr. Adams, Cookie, and the lab guys for making me teeth to chew with and a cosmetic smile to be proud of . My new teeth are beautiful, and so natural looking. Now I can smile with confidence. THANK YOU!!!!! Pros: Too many to mention Cons: None more

I never thought I would say it about a dentist - but I LOVE Dr. Adams!!! I went to Dr. Adams knowing that I had major dental problems after several years of no insurance and no money. He is the first dentist I have ever been to where I fully understand what needs to be done and why! He did my first major procedure just the other day and although I can't call it pleasant, it was the best experience I've ever had in a dentist office. Dr. Adams and staff did everything within their power to make me feel comfortable and experience as little pain as possible. I would very highly recommended Dr. Adams and his staff to anyone who is looking for a caring, honest, knowledgeable and thorough dentist. Dr. Adams and staff are WONDERFUL! Pros: Caring, Honest, Knowledgeable, Thorough Cons: None that I found so far more

Dr. Adams is Outstanding as well as his staff! He is extremely honest; caring of one's needs and fears. He takes the time, to not only explain, but also perform the procedures necessary to benefit the patient - he totally focuses on you and your individual situation. He even called me to Baghdad, Iraq to make sure I am OK (I work for the US Army). He has gained my trust and confidence, making it all possible to have my teeth worked on. His work is painless and the results are absolutely remarkable! He is very professional, yet very friendly. His staff is extremely friendly and caring. Make you feel right at home. Everything is explained to you and there are never hidden surprises. Just the surprise of Dr. Adams and his wonderful staff! (Real Jewels) There are really no words that can fully describe what an outstanding dentist Dr. Adams is. He has made a difference in my life - a unique / rare man. I would highly recommend him and would trust his opinion on any dental condition. He is an asset to the Dental Community. There?s nothing better than to give something that will last forever which is a beautiful smile. Pros: Highly Recommended Cons: NONE more

I've been seeing Dr Adams for over 10 years now, and my wife for almost 6. He's the only dentist I've ever been to that made me feel so comfortable that I fell asleep in his chair -- while he was working in my mouth! I had moved away at one point and hadn't been to see a dentist for almost 2 years when I ran into a problem. I called Dr Adams' office up and they not only remembered who I was without having to look it up, but fitted me in that afternoon. From then till now, no matter where I've lived, Dr Adams has been my dentist, even when it has meant driving over 100 miles to go see him. When you find someone as competent, professional and caring as Dr Adams and his staff and who make you feel as comfortable as they do, I feel you've got to stick with them. As long as I live anywhere in or near NC, I'll be seeing Dr Adams! Pros: Comfortable environment, professional and talented staff, wonderful service Cons: They don't have their office in my town so I have to drive into Raleigh to see them more

I had a Saturday emergency and Dr Cheek saw me right away. The staff worked hard to figure out my insurance on a weekend and Dr Cheek took care of my pain and made me feel very comfortable. I couldn't even feel the needle! Everyone at this office is awesome- they really care that you get great service! I have a lot of major work to get done and wouldn't think of seeing another dentist. Everyone is super, from the desk staff to the hygenists to, of course, the dentist. I recommend Dr Cheek and Dr Adams to everyone! Pros: highly professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, nice people Cons: None. more

Dr. Adams has done major work on my mouth. I had to have several root canals, bridge, implant and most recently he did porcelain crowns on my front teeth. He is highly professional yet a very compassionate person. I would hightly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a dentist in the triangle. more

I have been with Dr Adams for several years now and recently got a mouth gaurd. He asked me over the years if I was interested and I continually turned him down which he accepted and never pressured me. But, I finally realized how much my teeth were being impacted and I finally broke down and got the mouth gaurd. He warned me that it will take a while to get comfortable with it and he worked for awhile to get it fitted to my teeth properly but the 1st night I used it, I wished I got it sooner. It fit perfectly with no problems of pressure on my teeth. I now recommend mouth gaurds to anyone considering one. My wife also had a problem crop up on a weekend. Dr Adams worked with my wife through the weekend to include contacting the pharmacy to get a pain perscription filled. He also followed up with my wife throught the weekend to monitor her progress. I stongly recommend Dr Adams to anyone looking for a very down to earth and genuine dentist who remains current in his field and office practices. Pros: The people in the office are great, the ambience is very nice including the fish tank in the waiting room, parking is very close and service is great. Cons: There is nothing I dislike except that I like having my teeth taken care before work and I wish his office opened earlier but that is very minor compared to the s more

New to area. Had a cracked crown on a Friday night. Office stayed open late to help. Was blown away by quality of service and care for a new patient. They've been great with my kids (7 and 10 years) - very kind and caring. Highly recommend. more

Several months ago I came to Dr.Adams to get caught up some dental issues that I had been putting off. We came to a mutual agreement that the health of my teeth and gums were primary before he would be able to create a new smile for me. His staff was exemplary in their professionalism and capabilities. Within a short time, I was able to get the smile I have long wanted by the use of crowns and veneers. My husband said, "well, they look perfect!". I now enjoy smiling, in a way that I haven't in years. Throughout the entire process, I experienced no pain or discomfort. Dr. Adams and his staff are the best! Pros: Highly qualified, professsional results Cons: None more

What can I say! I am one of those "problem patients" I am sure all dentist hate to have. I have a high level of "dentist" anxiety and many problems existing with my teeth. On top of that no dental insurance. I ended up with an absess and Dr. Adams was wonderful. The staff is first rate! I felt so welcomed into their "family" as a patient and as a friend. They helped with the anxiety and also arranged a plan to me get all the dental treatments I needed. It was a very relaxing and pleasant experience. Thank you Dr. Adams and Staff!!! Pros: Anxiety free Cons: wish there were more like him!!! more

Go see this man for all of your dental care. He's GREAT! I didn't like the dentist I had been going to, and I was having some pain. Dr. Adams office fit me in for my first appointment the day I called. My pain was from problems with my jaw, not from my teeth. Other dentists had mentioned this jaw problem before, but Dr. Adams was the first to take the time to explain exactly what was wrong, what the consequences were if I kept ignoring it, and explained a treatment plan that would help. He also showed me pictures of my teeth, explained how he could tell what discoloration were cavities and which weren't, and was honest about my fillings not being urgent at this point (which is great, because I don't have insurance and have to spread out my treatments). My experience with Dr Adams has earned him not only a new patient, but an enthusiastic patient who will recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist. 5-star rating from me! Pros: Informative, Friendly, Understanding Cons: Absolultely none! more

Dr. Adams placed two dental implants for me in September of 2005. The entire process actually took 3 months and was worth the wait. He explained every step to me before hand and told me what to expect along the way. It was not even particularly painful. He is very personable and truly cares about his patients. He called from his vacation to check on how I was doing the day of and day after the implants were placed. I have never had any doctor call me after surgery. Nurses yes, doctors never!!!! His office is conveniently located off of 540 and Falls of The Neuse Rd. Everyone at the office is friendly and they make you feel very comfortable. We lost our dentist of 20 years, about 3 years ago, and we went through a couple before we found Dr. Adams. We hope he is around for at least the next 20 years. Thank you Dr. Adams!!!!!! Pros: Easy to find more
