NEA Dentistry

This review is LOOOONG overdue, but I owe it to share my experience with this amazing practitioner.
I have been a patient of Dr. Barin’s for approximately 5 years. I have to say that unlike other dentists who are in it solely for the monetary gains, I can assure you, she truly has a passion for dentistry and preservation of her patient’s teeth and gum health.
When I first came to her, I still had silver fillings and she, without me prompting her, recommended on replacing them with tooth-​colored filling. Proactively, she made sure to inform me that insurance will cover removal of old amalgam filling – previous dentists NEVER told me that!
She also asked if I ever thought about braces to correct my malocclusion. Dr. Barin brought it my attention that leaving my bite as it is will cause gum disease and potential degradation of my teeth at a faster rate. Needless to say, as an adult, I got braces and wore them for 2 ½ years and couldn’t be happier with the results.
Post-​braces, my teeth were slightly uneven in certain areas due to years of an uneven bite. I consulted with a well-​known «Cosmetic Dentist» in town and was told veneers would be my ONLY option… and handed me a $ 20K quote for 10 veneers. Really??? After research and due diligence about other options, I called Dr. Barin’s office to inquire if she performs Cosmetic Dentistry, which apparently, she does! (Should have called her office e first). When I went in for my consult, I asked about veneers and she pleaded with me to reconsider. That would have been profitable for her, but she insisted that my teeth are really white and healthy and it would be dental sacrilege to drill and deface great teeth. She suggested Bonding instead to correct minor imperfections. Dr. Barin artistically bonded the affected teeth and it’s matched perfectly with my own teeth.
We need more dentists in this town with integrity and passion for their profession. I’m just happy I found her!!!

Best dentist I have ever been to. Dr. Katy Barin is an expert at fillings (I’ve had 3). No pain, during or after. They are prompt with appointments and very professional.

Dr. Barin and the oral hygienist (I regrettably forgot her name) were two of the most outstanding individuals I have ever met in my entire life. They were extremely informative, very happy and knowledgeable in their line of work, caring, kind, considerate, and any other positive adjective I am missing. The girls who handle the paperwork in the front of the office were also phenomenal people. They were thorough and diligent with appointment reminder calls, follow-​up information, and really sweet. All of the things mentioned previously are icing on the cake when you walk in to the very professional and clean environment and are attended with the highest quality of machinery and cameras that today’s world can even offer. In short, I have a crush on everyone in that office and I am excited to go back to get my teeth cleaned. I didn’t have much time to do my homework to figure out which place would be my «primary care dentist» but I am happy to know and feel that I am in the best place I could have picked in town!

I have been going to Dr. Barin for years. She is not listed as a Pediatric Dentist but she has been more patient with my children than any «pediatric dentist». She even calls at home after a procedure to make sure they are ok? Who does that these days? NO ONE. She really «cares» and has been very patient when I’ve had procedure dones — not a fan of SHOTS and she really made it PAINLESS! I recommend her to all my friends!

NEA Dentistry is the best in town! I have been going there for the past 4 years and I would never go anywhere else.
Melinda and Summer, the office staff, always greet me by name and are very personable. There have been times when I have not had a baby sitter and they have helped watch my little one.
Grace does my cleanings every 6 months. (I get reminders in the mail to remind me. It is super helpful!!) She is so thorough yet makes it as comfortable as she possible can. TVs in every room really help to keep your mind off any unpleasant work you may be getting done.
Dr. Barin is the best dentist I have ever seen. With the help of her assistant Heather they get work done quick and as painless as possible. They also help you feel at ease during your time in the chair.
When I started coming to Dr Barin I had not been to the dentist in years. My mouth was in bad shape. She has nursed my teeth back to health over the past 4 years. It is truly amazing! She has even offered great opportunities like invisalign!
I couldn’t ask for a better dentist office. My experience every time is wonderful. I have referred many of my friends and family to her. I have even received gifts in return for the referrals. What other office does that? If you are looking for a dentist NEA Dentistry is the place to go!

Dr. Barin is conservative yet thorough. She is great with patients with some dental fear!
Her office team is very friendly and helpful. The environment is ultra modern and comfortable. So glad I found Dr. Barin and hygienist Nicole. Thank you!

Kudos again to Dr. Barin’s team for always making my visit easy and comfortable. I just learned that they now do facials! Say what? Could this place make your experience any more unique? Hmm maybe I’ll request a car washer and BAM it’ll be there next time! Definitely trust her with my grill and you should too!

Back for my bi-​annual cleaning recently and continue to be pleased with Dr. Barin and her friendly staff!
This past visit involved some deep cleaning that was pretty uncomfortable, but my hygienist Grace did her best to make it a not so uncomfortable experience. I’ve never had the high powered water gun (I’m sure there’s a fancy technical name for it), used to deep clean my teeth and I think she thought I knew what it was before preceding. I stopped her halfway through to ask her why she wasn’t using the scraper thing (again, fancy technical name of which I’m ignorant), and she explained to me why in a non-​condescending way. This didn’t make the process any less painful, but put my mind at ease that my gums weren’t getting blasted in vain.
Dr. Barin and her staff are so genuinely friendly, it almost makes you wish you had a dentist appointment every month! Of course insurance would never cover that, so every six months it is-​and I look forward to it!
