I’m the stupid one. Disappointed twice. I went in for a crack in my veneer, no pain, it happened a year ago so I figured I should get it fixed. Unhappily, I have ground down opposing teeth from the original veneer, and now an ill fitting crown with jagged margins, & a toothache as a replacement.I felt like I was part of an assembly line while I was there with no attention to detail.Now I get to find an endodontist. Oh boy. :(

Although it's premature to evaluate the final outcome, my initial experience at this South Tampa Smiles clinic merits mention. Following an unsatisfactory attempt to address a severe toothache at Aspen Dental, I urgently sought care at this facility. The clinic presented as newly renovated, with a spacious, clean, and cozy environment. Upon arrival, an assistant promptly took X-rays and engaged in a preliminary discussion before a consultation with the doctor, who then recommended surgery. Remarkably, a staff member provided a comprehensive cost breakdown for each treatment phase, from extraction to implantation, in stark contrast to Aspen Dental's vague and totalized cost estimates. This approach, coupled with a detailed explanation and verification of my understanding due to a language barrier, not only facilitated effective communication but also served as an unexpected English language exercise. The assistant's effort to ensure my comprehension, including a visual representation of the procedure, was followed by meticulous preparation for the surgery. The post-operative phase concluded with the pain subsiding after three days, and I've scheduled a follow-up to assess the progress. While the final outcome is pending, the initial phase has been promising, emphasizing the importance of dental health.I'd like to suggest that the clinic offer more comprehensive instructions for post-operative care. Updated on 04-24-2024 I noticed that they send instructions by email. Comfortable ;) This feedback is based on my personal comparison with a similar procedure I underwent in Kyiv, before 2022.My experience in the USA suggests that medical establishments often adopt a 'treatment-and-release' approach, which feels quite impersonal—once treated, you're promptly sent on your way. Although in this clinic there is some difference for the better on this issue, at least from the same Aspen Dental. And therefore this South Tampa Smiles clinic can lay claim to the concept of “Family Dentist.” But again, it’s still very early in my case to make full reviews.Updated on 04-24-2024, four weeks have passed since the tooth extraction. During this time, I visited the clinic three times for a preventive examination, and everything went according to plan.p.s. Take care of your teeth, they are a very valuable asset!!!

I recently had a terrible experience with the billing practices followed at Wang and Cortes Dental down the street. This dentist seems more honest, and fits my schedule. I am so thankful to have found this location and gave it a try. The receptionist is sweet as can be all the assistants are amazing, I could be friends with them. The environment is great and they are CLEAR and HONEST with the pricing unlike other dentists in the surrounding area!!! I will say my experience was set off a bit in the beginning with Doctor Matthew, he told me he personally knew the doctors who did my incorrect filling and told me it was fine, when it was in fact NOT fine since the filling needs to actually be replaced, I also did not really appreciate being told it’s frowned upon to switch providers even though it fits MY schedule to come into this location on Saturdays, however Doctor Behn made me see hope in the dental industry overall. He made me feel comfortable, was gentle, and very informative of my dental situation. I established trust with him in less than an hour because of the treatment and clearness he had with me. I will be coming back for a follow-up in 2 weeks and I feel confident knowing I am in great hands. 😊
