Jeffrey S Lide DDS

I’ve been going to Dr. Lide for several years now, and even though I live in Grapevine now, he is still my dentist. He is very friendly and knowledgable, and everyone at his office is wonderful and very professional. I even referred my boyfriend to come here, and we are both regulars here now. Great service, awesome staff, and very knowledgeable-​I would definitely recommend!

I went to Doctor Lide last year for replacement of crown of my front tooth. I read good reviews, when I met him he seemed like a knowledgeable person.
My first crown on the same tooth was placed when I was ¹³⁄₁₄ years old. I never had any problem with that. But since the first crown was ¹⁵⁄₁₆ years old, the metal root started to show thru my gum.
I discussed with Doctor Lide, and he suggested replacement of crown is very common and would last another ⁵⁄₆ years. After the procedure the crown looked fantastic, it looked like a real tooth. Then within few weeks my gum got swollen, and started bleeding. I followed up with him, he said he left some cement between the crown and the gum. He cleaned up the cement. It was good for a month or so, then again my gum around that crown started bleeding. I followed up again. Same thing… extra cement. After that I went followed up 2 more times for same reason. 4 follow ups for same reason… extra cement.
The same problem appeared again for 5^th time, I’m not going back to him again.
I’m not a dentist, but I assume this is BAD dentistry. He is very good at explaining procedure, he seems to be very caring… but I guess he is not good at placing crown.
I spent $ 600-​$ 700, on this procedure, and now I’m regretting my decision. Seeing him was a big mistake, waste of time and money.

Worth a try

Dr. Lide is a FRAUD and extremely UNPROFESSIONAL! I went in there to have a regular cleaning done and x-​rays and I did not even ended up not even getting the cleaning done because it was taking so long. I was there for an hour and a half! His assistant (s) informed me that I needed to have Scaling and Root Planning on my teeth… which ended up being false. Then after all of the x-​rays were taken, Dr. Lide came in and said that I had some decay… which was fine and told me his assistant (s) would give me the treatment plan. When his assistant (s) gave me the treatment plan they said that I needed 6 crowns and I had 9 cavities. I was floored! I have always gone to the dentist every six months and taken good care of my teeth. I was wondering how this could be. Also, I was thoroughly dissapointed that Dr. Lide did not even have the balls to tell me himself and that he had to send in his assistant (s) in to tell me… how unprofessional is that? I ended up cancelling my next appointment and got a second opinion from a reputable dentist. It turns out that I did not need to have the Scaling and Root planning done and I only had one cavity and one cavity replacement.
HE IS A FRAUD!

Went to Dr. Lide today for the first time. The lobby area is warm and welcoming, not the sterile pale walls and uncomfortable seating that you get in many doctor’s offices. The staff was very nice and friendly. The exam chairs where actually very soft as well. It’s been a couple of years since my last visit anywhere, but I always remember the chairs being worn out or stiff. Another first for this office visit, is that I was given some «sun“glasses to block out that obtrusive exam light overhead.
The hygenist was nice as well as gentle. No splashing in the face with the water wand which is a bonus. Like any dentist office, Dr. Lide was in and out quickly at the end to look over everything.
I can’t speak about pricing, since my insurance footed the bill. Overall it was a great experience. Nice staff and an extra attempt made to make the experience as pleasurable as possible since many people dread it.
