I went to Bull City Dental a few times over 2ish years in 2018-2020.
After my first visit, they suggested I had a cavity, and I had it filled by them shortly after. After my second visit, they suggested I had another cavity. I got a really weird feeling from them at this visit, and decided to see another dentist for a second opinion (I hadn’t had any cavities for 20+ years before going here, so I was a little suspicious).
The new dentist said there’s some wear on my teeth as they would expect at my age, but no cavity and no need for any fillings. They had no knowledge of what I’d already

I don’t look forward to dentist visits (I don’t think anyone does), but Bull City Dental makes me dread them a whole lot less than I used to. Dr. Kemp and the hygienists always explain exactly what they’re doing and why. Everyone here is so kind, and I always feel at ease in an office staffed by women.

I had my first appointment at Bull City Dental today. From Tameka who scheduled my appointment and met me at the door, to Yanira who took x-rays, to Bianca who was my hygienist (super gentle, professional, and thorough!), to meeting Dr. Palmer herself. Wow! What a great customer/patient experience!! I feel confident going back to get my wonky molar fixed. Thank you!!

I love going to Bull City Dental. I selected them upon moving to Durham out of proximity to where I lived and 3 years later I am so grateful I did. The staff is friendly, personable, and make going to the dentist a positive experience. They genuinely care about their patients and what is best for them in an all around perspective.

Wow. This was a medical experience for the books.
I had a filling performed by Dr. Kemp months ago. At my last cleaning, she says there was an “issue” with how she did it so it would be fixed for free. She scheduled that appointment for today. I go in and discover the “issue” was that it needed to be completely redone. I remind them, before they begin, that this was going to be done for free per Dr. Kemp. The hygienist said she understood and saw that there was a $0 charge listed for the procedure in the chart. I wait 45 minutes for a dentist (not Dr Kemp) to arrive, who proceeds to fill

Dr. Kemp was great for cleanings, but after getting my first filling from her, I am not going back nor would I ever recommend her. She told me I needed a cavity treated on a tooth that was completely pain free (which I get happens a lot), but after her treatment, it was in EXCRUCIATING pain. She claims some of the bacteria are microscopic (aren't… all??), and caused her to not get all of it -- or that the filling went too deep and is now irritating the nerve.
Needless to say, she recommended immediately that I get a root canal, now costing me well over $1000.

I've been going to Bull City Dental for 2 years for routine cleanings and am glad I chose them as my dental health provider. The staff is very professional, kind, cheerful, and make sure to inform me about every step of the process. Dr. Kemp always pays a visit at the end of my cleaning to make sure I'm happy and to double check the hygienist's work.
I also really like their jazzy decor and the waiting room magazines are great :).

The staff here are timely, professional and very knowledgeable of dental care and hygiene. I hardly ever look forward to going to the dentist, but they answered all of my questions, and the comfortable environment helped me feel more at ease. Additionally, they gave me tips and strategies to use at home in order to improve my dental hygiene routine. They are awesome!
