I have been going to Dr. Swillings for approximately 25 years or more. He has recently retired and it is now Third Ave Dentistry. I feel like the staff are family. They are always so friendly but also professional.

I was a bit apprehensive about seeing a new Dentist. However she was very thorough and helpful in addressing my issue of teeth sensitivity. I would highly recommend this dental practice.

Dr. K and her team are incredible! I visited twice this week—once for myself and once for my 15 yr old daughter—and had a fantastic experience both times. The hygienist was gentle and kind, the front office team was so welcoming, and Dr. K was simply outstanding. If you're looking for a top-notch dental practice in Gastonia, I highly recommend them—10/10! 😊

This was the most pleasant visit to a dental clinic that I've ever had... and I was getting 3 teeth extracted! Everyone was so knowledgeable, kind and caring. Dr. Kunde, Daisy, and Jean made my visit and my decision to make Third Avenue my dental clinic an easy one.

Wow! I don’t know where to start. I can’t begin to describe how wonderful my experience was with Dr K. I do believe your teeth can tell you alot about your overall health. I’ve been to two other medical doctors about my concerns and they were treating 2 problems but not the 3rd.

Dr K was very knowledgeable about how all 3 problems must be treated to resolve my issue. She really took to the time explaining to me why all problems had to be treated for the healing to begin and even what was causing the problems. Her staff, old and new are great! 100% recommend Third Avenue Dentistry! So glad I chose to stay with this practice after Dr Swilling retired! I’m actually looking forward to getting a crown! LOL
