Welcome to Smith, Adams, and Pilkington Family Dentistry

People typically find our practice, Smith, Adams, & Pilkington Family Dentistry through word of mouth. We've been here in the Goldsboro community for 50 years this year. We were a family practice begun by my wife's parents who were both dentists.

Her father-in-law, my father-in-law, her father saw all the adults in the practice, her mother saw all the children in the practice, and we've been carrying on that tradition since. And so now we have grown obviously over the last 50 years to the point that we have Dr. Meredith Adams who is taking care of pediatric patients now for the last 20 years. She does a phenomenal job with it with her team.

We're the only practice in the area where you can come and have an appointment for your kid by someone who just sees kids and knows how to take care of kids, as well as have comprehensive restorative dentistry done by one of our other three doctors, including myself. So we've got a unique position to be able to care for the entire family comprehensively and to be one place you can come for your entire family's dental needs. Yes, a bunch of my family comes here.

My mother, my brother, my nephew, my grandmother, my uncle. So it was, it wasn't really a question. I didn't, you know, read reviews or look at any other places.

It was just a no-brainer to come here. It's just like, it's just like a visit. It's just like a visit at their house.

They just, everything's comfortable, everything's easy. It's quality. You feel comfortable when you come in.

You don't feel like you're in a strange place, feel like you're gonna be mistreated. You feel comfortable when you come in, knowing you're gonna be treated all right. And that kind of, kind of makes you feel better.

Professionalism. I mean, you can't walk in that door without, from the receptionist all the way to the back, it's all about the patient. That's it.

No matter what kind of problems they might have had in their life or what's going on in there, they always thinking about you. At Smith, Adams, and Pilkington Family Dentistry, we look forward to serving you and your family.

Young dentists have assumed the practice (original couple’s daughter & her husband) along with 2 other young dentists. I now see Dr. Pilkington & she is wonderful, as are all the hygenists, assistants and office staff. They do a GREAT job on my teeth, including making crowns. They listen to what I have to say, are extremely professional, friendly & most importantly frank & honest. They lay out my options for proposed dental work & explain the pros & cons of each option so I can make informed decisions. I really appreciate that they are so ethical & honest & don’t try to get you to have work done just to raise billing for the practice. Along with all these attributes, they have a modern, state-of-the-art with all the newest equipment, software & techniques. My husband sees Dr. Adams & feels the same way about this practice. I cannot recommend Smith, Adams & Pilkington Family Dentistry enough! Thank you for the excellent care I have received for 25 years!
