Best 12 Dental Clinics and Dentists in Lakeland, FL new update 2

Steve Aycock Dr. Nofallah and his staff are excellent! I have some anxiety about going to the dentist, despite the fact that my Mom was a hygienist and Ive never had a bad experience at the dentist. It just makes me nervous. I want to tell you that Dr. Nofallah has a way about him that puts me completely at ease. He talks through what he is doing as he works and he checks on me during procedures. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. I want to thank Dr. Nofallah and his staff for all they do. I really appreciate the lengths he goes to to make me feel comfortable and to provide such high quality dental care. He is awesome!

Rob Dr. Nofallah is an extremely knowledgeable dentist. He truly cares for his patients. He is always so kind and always makes you feel comfortable in the chair. His assistants are equally as kind, I wouldn’t go to any other dentist.

Michelle Walker Love the staff! Stevie was so very helpful and made sure to give me as much information I needed to make a decision. Office is nice and relaxing. Love the fish tank!! Doctor is wonderful and makes you comfortable. Takes his time to get to know you

Deborah Cross I had to have a root canal redo and honestly was pretty scared. Dr Z was great. Knowing I have TMJ he got me in and out quickly. He and his staff are very caring and very knowledgeable. They certainly put me at ease. If I ever need a root canal( and I hope I dont) I will certainly go back to Advanced Endodontic Specialists.

Timothy Kraus In January I was in Lakeland Florida due to travel. While here, I was having issues with a crown (aching, sore jaw) that was placed two months ago. My dentist at home did warn me that I may eventually need a root canal but suggested that I wait. While in Lakeland, the pain grew and was so bad I was not able to sleep. Talking to my home dentist he suggested that I get the root canal done here. I went to Advanced Endodontic Specialists. Dr. Martucci was fabulous. She was very professional, kind and gentle. I could not have been happier with my choice. Also, all of the staff were courteous and professional.

Nayeli Diaz I was insanely scared for a root canal I had scheduled. But when appt day came around, I was so relaxed and at ease, and felt absolutely no pain. Dr. Chapman constantly checked up on me mid-procedure and post-procedure. The staff there is super nice and comforting. Overall, really great experience. Would recommend them to anyone!

Jannis Malave Im very satisfied with the care I received. The staff is professional and friendly, explaining every step of the process with patience and clarity. Plus, the prices are very affordable compared to other places, without compromising quality. The facilities are modern and clean, which makes you feel comfortable for anyone looking for quality dental care at a great price. I will definitely be coming back!

wanda grace The Smile Mission has one of the friendliest and most patient staff I have come across. I had visited six dentists in an attempt to repair my teeth. Due to the complexity of my case, I found myself being referred to specialists or having to pay exorbitant amounts. The Smile Mission, however, took on the challenge with attention and patience, and I’m delighted with the results. I received 7 crowns, and Rafael took such care and attention to detail in placing them. They provided me with the best service, and I will always recommend them. I would also like to mention Eneidis Falcon, another very memorable staff member.. She was the sweetest person and I really appreciate her.

Roman Alexa This place is awesome that Dentist is very patient and explains to you details what’s wrong or what he can help to do with the teeth. The dentist staff all of them are so sweet and humble most of all speak English and Spanish what helps a lot for the Hispanic people What can I say? It’s a 20 star I totally recommend everyone to this place. I’ll be back in two weeks definitely this will be my permanent place to do my teeth. Thank you so much. 5 ⭐️

LooNey Yang Best Dental office Ive been to. Entire staff is amazing and it shows! They take care of me very well everytime I go in.

Candice Garcia I have been going to Lakeland Family Dental Arts for about a year and love the staff and the dental treatments I have received! Im usually one who does not like the dentist, but here I am treated like family, and it has made my anxiety about the dentist a lot less. They have worked with on payment plans and flexibility around scheduling.

Unbreakablefl This place is simply amazing from the receptionist to Dr. Cody. She truly help me when a dental emergency 2 hours after I called. I was a first time customer. I will most definitely be returning.

Valerie Adams Today was my first office visit, and my experience was a good one, I highly recommend them. I love the friendly atmosphere and professionalism; more importantly they were very understanding about my gum sensitivity issue and was very gentle a with me. Thank you Waterlake Dentistry.

James Nolan So I came in here almost a year ago to fix a cavity they ended up telling me I needed a root canal and a crown, which I got. They had to shave it down multiple times as it wasnt the right size and I even had to come back to get it done more after they spent an hour shaving it down the first time. Iv had the crown for nearly a year now and it is still distinctly bigger than the rest of my teeth, I believe they did not verify the mould was set correctly, I believe it shifted during the moulding process. Extremely unprofessional. They should have checked to make sure it was correct before installing something permanent.

Robert Boske Absolutely the best dental facility that I have ever been to. Always easy to make an appointment. Everyone is always upbeat and positive and always makes me feel welcomed and important. As soon as you walk in the door the ladies at the front desk always greet the customers with a smile. The entire staff makes going to the dentist as good of an experience as possible.

Terrance Glanton If youre looking for a great dentist office. I would highly recommend Dr. Simon Firer. I have been a patient for over 5 plus years and its been a great experience. They really care about there patients and work with you to make things right. Its really hard to find a dentist office with down to earth people that understand you and your needs. Thanks Dr Firer for always making me feel like family. I always look forward to my next dentist visit.

Brianna Cook So thankful that I found this Dentist! Before finding Dr Firer I went to dentists who would recommend thousands of dollars worth of work and I always “needed a deep cleaning.” I’ve also dealt with Dentists in the past who really just did not like people. Crazy! But at Dr Firers office I almost never need work and if I do he will recommend the most affordable option. Also office staff is so friendly and they all have incredible customer service. Dr Firer always takes the time to talk to you and the front office clerk always remembers my name. How many Dentists could you say that about? Also I’ve never “needed a deep cleaning” since going here. Going to the dentist is hard enough on its own but I always feel confident knowing that I will get the BEST treatment for my mouth but I will also be treated the best. I would recommend this dentist to anyone and I do regularly!

Iris Stackpole I began going to Dr. Firer years ago when his office was located on the south side of Lakeland and was very pleased with his professionalism, calm demeanor and sense of humor. Definitely missed his “brand” of dental care when he moved to Tampa for a few years. I was delighted when I discovered he had re-established his practice on the north side of Lakeland and have been a patient at his current location for 14 years. Dr. Firer explains your situation and what the options are, and during a procedure, he checks with you periodically to be sure you are not in pain; he creates an atmosphere that minimizes stress. Staff are engaging and often long-term, which is another part of the positive atmosphere: the office administrator, Joanne, has been with Dr. Firer since 2011, and dental tech, Jay, was with him at his southside office. So thankful to have found a dental practice that suits me as well as Dr. Firer’s does.

Kimberly Walker "I recently visited this office to have a crown done and I have to say it was a great and refreshing dental experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming, making me feel at ease right away. The office is clean and comfortable, which immediately gave me confidence in their level of professionalism. Dr. Smith took the time to explain every step of my treatment plan and answered all my questions with patience and clarity. I felt like him and the nurse, truly cared about my comfort and well-being while in the chair, they were very patient and took their time. You can tell they are experts in their field. I was really impressed by how organized and efficient the entire team is. The appointment was on time, and they made sure I was relaxed throughout the entire process. I left feeling well-informed and confident in the care I received. I highly recommend Dr. Smith and this office to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and caring dental team!"

Billy Holzworth Hello Im a patient at dental care. Dr Smith has been my dentist for since 2010 and I want to tell you I have got the best dentures that you can have in this whole state of Florida I can even eat granny apples without a problem with my teeth wobbling around I just eat them like I would with my natural teeth. I highly recommend Quality Dental thank you very much

Nevah T Be ware!!!! I saw dr Vermont Smith, in 2024. I was amazed that a supposedly professional dentist would negatively discussed Medicare fraud about my previous dentist Greenberg dental . A place where he previously worked. I should have taken this as a red flag , but gave him and staff the benefit of doubt. They did such a bad job with my teeth , exhausted my insurance and duged off the enamel off my teeth. I came home with sharp spikes on my incessors and had to call them . I left for another dentist and requested my medical record which they denied me off and only sent me the billing pmt. They should have sent me a record of what procedure was done but apparently has something to hide. My new dentist told me that they messed up my enamel and did lots of unnecessary fillings that was not eminent or necessary.. I am so happy with my new dentist , and only wish I had found them before this disastrous place!!!

Jesus Fernandez I have united healthcare advantage, which Medicare. On my last cleaning the doctor performed like a brush cleaning of my front teeth only. I left feeling as if nothing had been done. I don’t know if the benefits payments are not enough or if he simply felt like he did not need to do more but that was my last visit. The dental seat are covered with this grey flannel covering that are never changed, there is lack of pairing, cleaning and staff. Overall a very sad place. I would not recommend this treatment to anyone.

Briana Howard I’ve never experienced such a comfortable dentist appointment; from explaining everything down to the T, to recognition of dental phobia and the mission to squash that. My husband got in the same day, and were even offered an earlier time than agreed to originally to come in. Going from excruciating pain to immediate relief was a blessing that this office made happen even if it meant staying a little past business hours. Everyone is polite, professional and compassionate. You can tell the employees of this office value their profession. We will be with this dental office and Dr Farag from now on without a doubt. If you’re in the Lakeland area, or even surrounding this is the place to go for your dental needs!

MissusFroggy I cant recommend Lakeland Dental Center enough! This will be long, but I really want to stress how great this place is. Like so many people, I’ve always had a severe phobia of dentists. As a kid, I unfortunately didnt learn the proper way to care for my teeth. We were very poor and rarely went to a dentist. We only went if we were in pain and something was already wrong. This meant every visit was traumatic, and we saw some mean dentists! As time went on, my fear grew and my teeth got worse. I brushed my teeth 2x every day, but incorrectly as I recently learned (obviously!). I figured my teeth were too far gone, so why bother? Toothaches were just an everyday part of my life. I couldnt make myself to go to a dentist for the last 18 years. Eventually the pain became too much. I could barely chew and always felt sick from infections. My doctor was always prescribing antibiotics, while begging me to go to a dentist. My coworker told me about Dr. Farag and explained that she had been seeing him since she was a kid and would never go anywhere else. I finally made an appointment. I was sure he would tell me it was hopeless and I would need all my teeth extracted. I was scared of more pain and scared of judgment. My teeth were so bad and I was so embarrassed, and yet nobody in this office showed judgment. I was treated with kindness, patience and respect. During my first visit I was absolutely terrified and cried like a baby (I’m way too old for that!). Even with my husband with me for support, I was a pathetic mess. That didn’t stop them from treating me kindly! Their whole vibe was "No need to worry, were here to help you!" Dr. Farag made a treatment plan for me and took the time to explain how he would tackle each individual problem. I was astounded when he said that while I had a lot of problems and some were very serious, it was nothing they couldnt handle! It took many many appointments, several times a month. It took A LOT of work from Dr. Farag and his son Dr. Mark (I did not envy their task). It took lots of scared tears from me in the beginning (less as my fear faded). It took lots of patience from everyone there to deal with my disastrous teeth and my 40 year old self crying like a 4 year old. It took lots of hand-holding from the dentists and the assistants. But… they did it! My teeth are fixed! They put in my final crown a couple of weeks ago, and I cant believe its done! They did a great job making it all as pain-free and comfortable as possible. They even have their own lab on-site and made all my crowns there. Crowns were ready in hours, not months! No more toothaches, no more infections, my gingivitis is GONE and my gums are healthy! They took the time to teach me how to care for my teeth correctly to avoid future issues and maintain them. I used to only chew food with a few teeth on one side of my mouth because those teeth hurt the least. Biting into anything with my front teeth hurt, so I would cut food into tiny pieces and place it in my "chewing spot". But now, I can chew with ALL my teeth! I can bite into foods I haven’t been able to eat for years. Ive been chewing food in one spot in my mouth for so long, I need to keep reminding myself I can chew with all my teeth now! And they look great! My teeth have never ever looked this good! I used to smile with my mouth closed in photos and always covered my mouth when I laughed. At the start of the pandemic when everyone was unhappy about wearing masks, I found it to be a blessed relief. At least wearing a mask meant people couldnt see my teeth. But now that restrictions have eased and masks are worn less, I can smile at anyone, anytime and not worry! I cried at my last appointment, not from fear, but from happiness! I dont want to go anywhere else for my dental care ever again. Ive never felt safer at any other dental office, and the whole staff is wonderful! My only regret: not doing it sooner. Thank you to everyone there; youve changed my life!

Jodeja Chisolm Grace (receptionist) is pleasant. She has a way of making patients feel comfortable in uncomfortable situations. She should be recognized by CFHC in some way.

Delaney Clark Wish I could give zero stars called in February to get a dentist appointment since apparently they are the only place in Polk county that takes my insurance. Schedule an appointment for July. Thursday night I had a tooth break and Friday I asked if they could get me in sooner the lady on the phone said “sorry they’re booking into October now you’ll have to walk in from 7-3” so I walk in this morning for them to tell me they don’t accept walk ins and to go to the Lakeland hills location only to be turned away there too. This place sucks. No care for anyone. It’s disgusting.

Ingeborg Coffman I had the same Dentist in Iowa until moved to Lakeland. Sad to say none of the Walmart type Dental offices did a good job. Also lie and want you to have treatment if not necessary, I am to smart to fall for it. Offices were not clean and up to standards. I tried 4 places until one of my neighbors told me what a great job this tax supported clinic does. Offices are above standard clean, people are great, they are well trained and the cleaning is the best I had in years. Absolutely go there, I have insurance , I am fortunate but this place is a 10

Amanda Shoupe I am absolutely beyond thrilled with the dental service provided by Dr Cardman. He and his staff are phenomenal. I am beyond grateful to have my smile back and feel good about myself. Going into his office has been life changing for me. I feel blessed to have a mouth full of beautiful teeth. His work is amazing. I highly recommend Dr Cardman .Thank you and your staff for being so good to me. Such a caring group you have in your office.

Heather P I broke a crown and the half that was left in my mouth was very sharp. I called my regular dentist and they couldn’t see me for a week, so I tried two others and Dr. Cardman was the only one who made time for me. Within three hours, I left the office with a new permanent crown. The procedure was pain free - he numbed me without hurting. I’m a coward when it comes to dentists, so that’s quite an accomplishment! On top of that, he left a message on my voicemail the next morning to see how I was doing!

Deborah Wehrle The best dentist ever! Great office staff and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Zachary Metz I absolutely loved my first appointment! I was welcomed to their family practice from the moment I walked in the door. Really kind and friendly staff! I look forward to sending my friends and family because I know they will be in great hands!

Linda Z After going to Dr. Lungs office, I no longer dread going to the dentist - She keeps up on the latest technology and the procedures I have had done were completely painless - Her staff are AMAZING - well informed and always friendly!

JD Reigh So glad I finally decided to come here to Dr Lungs office . I have been so anxious and worried about where to go for my dental work and I am always very nervous at the dentist office. The offices here are so peaceful, all of my anxiety was washed away once I stepped in. And all of the staff is so kind here, I felt so welcome. I see why its called the family dentist, I felt like family. And I plan to bring all of my family here too. It is Affordable and quality work. I highly recommend this office to all my friends and family. This is the type of office that would keep me from moving away to somewhere else so I can keep the same doctor.Thank you Dr lung, Deanna, and staff! :)

Lori Henderson Very efficient and Courteous staff. Dental assistant & Dentist were Awesome!

Diana Lodge This is a great place to go, the Dentist pays close attention to you to make sure you are not in pain when he is working on you. If you are like most and do not like to go to the dentist pick this place they get you in quick and treat you well.
