Easy to schedule. Great with our family.

“Dr. Harward and his entire team provide absolutely wonderful care”

Dr. Harward and his entire team provide absolutely wonderful care. Our whole family visits this practice, and we are consistently impressed by their professionalism. Dr. Harward truly looks out for his patients' best interests and has incredibly high standards. For example, one time when the crown for my implant didn't perfectly meet his expectations, he immediately reordered a new one to ensure it’s good for me. On top of the clinical excellence, scheduling is seamless, and they are super prompt with text replies and reminders. Highly recommend!

“I recommend him to all of my family and my friends”

Dr. Harward is the best dentist I have been to. He takes time to explain, answers all pf my questions, and genuinely cares. I recommend him to all of my family and my friends.

“My six and nine year old sons visited Millpond Family for the first time this…”

My six and nine year old sons visited Millpond Family for the first time this morning, and our experience could not have been better. We were welcomed by friendly and helpful admin staff, and the hygienists and doctor were each interactive with the kids in a way that was kind, clear, and respectful.

“The work they do is top notch”

I had not been to the dentist due to a variety of other medical issues. I had a cracked tooth and went to Dr. Harward because my husband and daughter started going there. Boy am i glad I did. I'm getting several procedures done and this entire staff is exemplary. From the awesome ladies at the front desk to Honey (my hygenist) to Dr. Harward himself, I cannot say enough good things about everyone. They are so calm, explain everything as you go and put you so at ease. The work they do is top notch. I highly recommend Millpond Family Dental.

“I cannot praise this dental practice enough”

I cannot praise this dental practice enough! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and kindness. The staff here exude patience and empathy, taking the time to address all of my concerns and ensuring I felt comfortable throughout my entire visit. What truly sets this practice apart is their remarkable attention to detail, expertise and genuine care for their patients. I am grateful my husband and I were recommend to this practice and would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a dental practice in the Triangle.

“The professional and administrative staff at this practice are top notch”

The professional and administrative staff at this practice are top notch. For various reasons, I have several (6) crowns, and of course many visits to the dentist. 😁 Dr. Harward is proficient, as well as having impressive dental technology and amenities. He is on the younger side, which is desirable for my family and children to grow up with. What really speaks for itself is the staff and culture of the office. Which is something that happens over time, not overnight. Billing can be complicated/frustrating and I've had no issues or worries, even switching insurance in the middle of dental work. My family and I just moved to Cary, and we're grateful to have found this office.

“Leigh Ann was a blessing”

Leigh Ann was a blessing. Dentist visits usually come with a fair amount of anxiety for my wife and I, but Leigh Ann was great at calming us down and putting us at ease. The level of technology at this office, with the 3D scan of my teeth, was very impressive. 10/10 would recommend.

My daughter had a wonderful first time experience.

“Great staff, kind and caring Dentist for my teen son”

Great staff, kind and caring Dentist for my teen son. We will bringing the rest of the family.

“Took my child for his first dental visit, and it was a wonderful experience”

Took my child for his first dental visit, and it was a wonderful experience! The front desk staff, including the doctor and nurse, were exceptionally friendly and made my child feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. They took the time to explain everything and were very gentle during the entire process. I couldn’t have asked for a better first dental visit for my child. Highly recommend!

“They are efficient, easy to schedule, and everyone we have interacted with is kind”

We have 6 kids of varying ages and needs. This office is the best we have ever been to. They are efficient, easy to schedule, and everyone we have interacted with is kind. We have personally recommended this practice to multiple friends in the area.

“I took my 10 year old daughter in to see Dr Harward and he and his staff…”

I took my 10 year old daughter in to see Dr Harward and he and his staff “Heather” made us feel right at home from the second we arrived. I immediately noticed the cleanliness of the office as we were taken in right away at our appointment time. Dr Harward really took the time to go through and explain everything going on with my daughter’s visit as well as answering any questions I had. My daughter, wife and myself have found our dentist going forward. Thank you for a great experience.

“Dr. Harward is an excellent dentist and was able to fix a small chip in my front…”

Dr. Harward is an excellent dentist and was able to fix a small chip in my front tooth that another practice said it wasn’t worth doing since it may not stay. Dr. Harwarth filled it and have had no issues and love my smile. He also treated my daughter who had front teeth with white spots and he knew a treatment for it and she is so happy, and so am I. The whole staff is great.

“They feel like family, are so kind and welcoming, and the service that you receive is great”

My family and I have been on the hunt for a new family dentist that treats children and adults since our family dentist of 15+ years moved out of the area. It took some trial and error with other local dentists before finding Dr. Harward and Millpond Family Dental. My entire extended family now use him (my kids, my husband, my parents, my best friend and her family, etc!) Their office space is well decorated, clean, and full of the latest technology when it comes to equipment. They have TVs on the ceiling, which my 4 year old son thought was pretty cool during his first few visits. We have now been with Millpond Family dental for over a year and I'm so glad we found them. They feel like family, are so kind and welcoming, and the service that you receive is great. I will 100% keep recommending all friends and family switch to Millpond Family Dental.

“Friendly staff”

Friendly staff!! Very welcoming environment. My son likes to go to the dentist now.

“By far the best dentist experience I’ve had in the area”

By far the best dentist experience I’ve had in the area. Finally feel like I’ve found my family’s dental home!

“I would recommend this practice to my family & friends”

I had a great experience at Millpond Family Dental! I recently established my dental care here and everyone is very welcoming from the moment you walk in to being treated in the clinic. My hygienist was very thorough and explained everything to me really well! I would recommend this practice to my family & friends.

“The place was clean and beautiful”

I was impressed with the website first, finding it welcoming and easy to view so I decided to call to make an appointment. Again, I was so impressed by the kindness and respect I received in the tone used with me, the patience exercised while answering my questions and the listening skills used to address my needs and wants. I was also impressed by the knowledge used to assist me in a way that helped me understand while also making me feel like my questions were important ones. I knew that I had to make an appointment when the love for her job shined through the phone in a way that I could practically see her big, caring smile. She explained what needed to happen before my appointment to make sure there were no surprises and/or more to do once I arrived. She kept searching for a time and day that worked best for me and then sent me paperwork, a reminder and made sure I understood the process. She reminded me after a week about something I needed to send in, and after I did, she made sure to check with insurance and then I knew exactly what I needed to pay for every service offered. I was so impressed with everything. Today when I arrived I could not have felt more appreciated again by the whole staff. The place was clean and beautiful. The dental caring room was comfy and convenient, with the X-ray machine, 3D scanner, cleaning supplies, X-ray reader/computer and screen all conveniently located within a door or two from me allowing me to comfortably relax and enjoy the visit. There was no rush feeling, as if others were more important. The staff took their time to ensure all my questions and concerns were addressed and answered. They restated my questions to make sure they understood my concerns. The entire office was personable and caring. I can’t wait to move the whole family there.

“Dr. Harward was able to assess the situation and clean up the filling to help alleviate the pain”

We've enjoyed our experience at Millpond Family Dental. Our daughter was having tooth pain from a filling done at another dentist office. Dr. Harward was able to assess the situation and clean up the filling to help alleviate the pain. They have always been as accommodating as possible with appointments. My family is very satisfied with our experience at Millpond Family Dental.

“The office is very clean, high tech, and the staff is so friendly and professional”

In the past year, we switched to Millpond Family Dental and have been extremely pleased. The office is very clean, high tech, and the staff is so friendly and professional. My kids love watching TV as their teeth are being cleaned. At Millpond Family Dental, you feel valued as a patient and not treated as just another number.I wish we would have switched sooner!

“They care about their patients and clean first”

Millpond family dental, I really appreciate your helping you are the best clean service prices. Everything was great. I took abutment for my daughter braces, and he gave me good prices. They care about their patients and clean first. He did an excellent job and gave us excellent advice.doctor Harward he is the best 👌 thank you 😊

“First off - I just want to say how highly I recommend Dr. Harward”

First off - I just want to say how highly I recommend Dr. Harward. I have been a patient of his since about 2019 and I can’t say enough good things. Prior to my first visit with him, I was terrified of dentists and the entire experience after so many bad memories as a child and even poor work as a young adult. I ended up seeing Dr. Harward because I was having issues with work done by someone else, and after my appointment all of my concerns and pain were gone. I became a regular patient of his and enjoyed my visits, and he always was so kind and addressed all of my questions and concerns, no matter how long they took! He has helped me with fillings, cleanings, Invisalign, whitening, and tooth sensitivity and has been amazing with all of them. When I found out he started his own practice, my husband and I without a second thought, transferred to Millpond. His work and patient “bedside” manner is unmatched to anyone I’ve ever seen before. My husband and I just had our first appointment at his new office and can’t say enough good things! From the appointment making process, to the front desk staff, to the hygienists.. everything was stellar. Top of the line equipment in the x ray rooms, too! It was refreshing to see a clinic with modernized equipment. All in all, I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Harward and his team at Millpond. We will definitely be back. Editing to add that we happily drive over 30 minutes to receive the level of care provided.

“Dr. Harvard obviously loves children and is great with his approach to kids”

Great, efficient care with well rounded dental service options for anything you and your family might need (from pediatrics to root canals). They have tv screens in the ceiling and other items to help kids feel comfortable or distracted during a visit. Dr. Harvard obviously loves children and is great with his approach to kids. The building is beautiful, you will be greeted with a smile, and Dr. Harward intentionally chooses his patient flow so that there is adequate time to address your needs and not rush you through. The practice also has a very reasonable rate for annual preventative dental care (exams, xrays,). I switched over when my kids needed several cavities filled and my practice was uncomfortable doing the work. Dr. Harvard took over their needs with ease and my kids were comfortable in his care and best yet, the price was reasonable.

“Super clean great with the kids and affordable”

The whole family is now going here! Super clean great with the kids and affordable.

“Great dentist and kind staff”

My family loves coming here. Great dentist and kind staff.

“Very inviting and friendly atmosphere and they kept my kid engaged and explained the process very well”

We are new to this area and I had my 2 year olds first dental appointment here. Very inviting and friendly atmosphere and they kept my kid engaged and explained the process very well.

“Top notch”

Our whole family has converted over. Top notch. A rare find.

“I highly recommend Millpond Family Dental for family with kids”

My son had a great experience with Millpond Family Dental. He said, he was happy with his dentist and he's not afraid anymore to go to the dental clinic after his encounter with his dentist. I highly recommend Millpond Family Dental for family with kids.

“I highly recommend him to those in the area”

I've brought my entire family (young kids, my wife, and I ... and even my in laws) for the past year or so and every one of us had a great experience so far. Dr Harward is really good at what he does and doesn't try to sell you services that you don't need. I highly recommend him to those in the area.

“I’m new to the area from Texas and needed a new family dentist”

I’m new to the area from Texas and needed a new family dentist. Millpond dental was recommended by my neighbor and I was thankful. I had a cleaning and got my whole family set up here after my exam. It was very comfortable and I enjoyed being able to see my teeth on this screen so we could talk about them. Highly recommend this office.

“Dr. Harwood is an honest and exceptional dentist”

I have found my dentist!!! I do not live in NC but I travel here for work with my husband. Dr. Harwood is an honest and exceptional dentist. My NY dentist and later my dentist in Florida stated a cost of well over $60,000 to repair, replace my teeth via implants and crowns after a long illness with no guarantees. As a last resort, my daughter suggested I visit her dentist in NC, Dr. Harwood, before giving up and just opting for dentures. From my very first consultation, I felt that I was getting an honest opinion and not a hard sale pitch. I am so glad to report that he has saved my dental health at a mere fraction of the cost other practices had quoted AND he stands by his work. When one implant was failing, he told me he would replace it at no additional cost. Luckily, it ultimately took, and replacement was not necessary. What a far cry from my NY experience from a failed $20,000.00 failed implant. Dr. Harwood replaced that one for so much less and it is beautiful, saving my smile. So thank you to Millpond Dental and staff!!!! Jayne

“Our entire family has been happy coming”

After leaving an office that my family wasn’t happy with it was so great to find Millpond Family Dental. Our entire family has been happy coming!

“The office is clean, the staff is professional and friendly”

This is a great dental practice! My whole family goes here. The office is clean, the staff is professional and friendly. I have seen both dentists and they are awesome and thorough! I would highly recommend them.

“Numerous visits, great staff every time”

Numerous visits, great staff every time. Very friendly, accommodating, and helpful in scheduling appointments. Very friendly and easy going Dentist. He did the whole cleaning and examination for both my children and was very patient and explained what he was doing to my 5 and 10 year olds. They didn’t complain once during the process. Highly recommend.

“Had a great experience here”

Had a great experience here. The team is very relaxed and friendly and I didn't feel rushed at all. The technology in the office was pretty impressive, especially for how small the office is. Would you like to see a full 3D model of your teeth? I would! I also appreciated Dr. Harward's nonjudgemental approach. He mentioned a few options I might want to pursue in the future but wasn't pushy at all. The work I did need done was quick, easy, and competently performed. My whole family's been now and I expect that we will continue for a long time.

“Kind and friendly doctor and staff”

Kind and friendly doctor and staff! For someone like me who’s had a fear of dentists since I was a kid, this was the perfect place!

“The office is clean and beautifully maintained”

My family and I relocated to this area from Florida and were in need of a new dentist. We have three children aged 12, 14, and 15. The staff here are some of the kindest people I have ever encountered. The office is clean and beautifully maintained. Dr. Harward is not only compassionate but also honest, which is a crucial trait for any healthcare provider. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a fantastic dental practice.

“Would highly recommend the Team at Millpond”

Super friendly and easy to work with. As a new patient it was simple to get an appointment and everything up to check in was online. Would highly recommend the Team at Millpond. So happy to find a local dentist for my family.

“Dr. Harward makes the whole family (including 2 young kids) feel comfortable”

Dr. Harward makes the whole family (including 2 young kids) feel comfortable! He answers all my questions thoroughly and with patience and kindness. I very highly recommend Millpond Family Dental!

“Dr. Harward is so kind and friendly”

Dr. Harward is so kind and friendly. My kids love going to the dentist, him and the staff make it a great experience. My husband and I love going there. It’s great that our family can all go to the same dentist.

“The staff is so friendly”

Love Millpond. My entire family are patients here. We relocated to NC so needed to start all over and we couldn’t be happier. The staff is so friendly. We see Dr Stephen and he’s so laid back.

“It’s a great place for the whole family”

Thestaff here is very helpful and kind. It’s a great place for the whole family!

“Highly recommend this practice”

Highly recommend this practice! The doctor came to my son's preschool for career day and we decided to schedule cleanings for our whole family. The front desk staff member and doctor/nurse were all so welcoming to both me and my 7 year old. My 7 year old had a previous experience at another practice that left him feeling very anxious about visiting the dentist and all the staff members were kind and patient with him and made him feel so at ease with the cleaning. They came up with a treatment plan to address some concerns that they found and got us scheduled quickly for follow up appointments. So thankful to have found this practice and look forward to having a true family dentist that gets to know our whole family!

“The dental hygienists and Dr. Harward were great at working with our 5 and 6 year old kids”

This is our second visit to Millpond Family Dental and both were great. The dental hygienists and Dr. Harward were great at working with our 5 and 6 year old kids. I tried them out because their in-house dental membership plan beat the Cigna dental coverage I had, but I'll continue to go because my kids enjoy the experience with their personable staff. I also don't get anywhere near the impression that I'm being upsold on services, which I've felt at other dental practices in the past.

“Dr. Harward is personable and thorough”

Dr. Harward is personable and thorough. He involves the patient in his/her dental care by letting the patient know what he/she can be doing between visits. He explains procedures thoroughly in terms that everyone can understand. Dr. Harward doesn’t attempt to promote unnecessary procedures but explains benefits and pitfalls of any service. He performs many procedures that some dentists would refer to specialists. He does excellent work and he is painless. He relates well to adults and children alike. We are glad our family has found Millpond Family Dental.

“All of the staff were professional and polite”

We just moved to the Triangle area. I was able to schedule an appointment for the next day. All of the staff were professional and polite. Maria was great and explained every step what she was going to be doing next. We will schedule the rest of the family to become patients as well.

“What an amazing experience from the front desk to the hygienist and the dentist”

What an amazing experience from the front desk to the hygienist and the dentist! Beautiful atmosphere too! I brought my kids in and Dr. Harward was gentle with them and explained everything in detail and discussed options. I was so grateful to have him fully explain what he saw, and then provided feedback on how to proceed. It was a conversation rather than just a talking to. I have already recommended them to friends and family! So thankful to have found MFD.
