Thom31 Look elsewhere before making an appointment. My wife and I used Google as a reference. My wife and I have been getting our teeth cleaned every 6 months by a great dentist in Venice, FL for many years. We paid $225 per person per visit, which included annual x-rays and evaluation by the dentist, We consider our teeth to be in good shape ! No cavities, no other issues, etc. Our last cleaning was on January 12, 2024.
We recently moved to the area and yesterday (July 25, 2024) had our initial appointment with Zephyrhills Dental. They had a special for x-rays for $59 per person . . . after which they told us we had no evidence of cavities but we both needed a DEEP cleaning and that 6 months was much too long of a time between cleanings. They told us we need to have a cleaning every 3 months and made it sound like we were on the verge of needing major reconstructive work. Regrettably, we agreed to the deep cleanings. My wife had a full deep cleaning all her teeth in under 30 minutes, and I had only the right side cleaned in 30 minutes. The BIG SURPRISE was the cost . . . we paid $ $1,318 for both of our visits, and yet I needed to come in next week to complete the rest of my cleaning for another $500 ! ! ! Total cost for two cleanings of $ 1,813 . . . OUCH ! ! ! This is 4-times the cost of the cleanings we had been getting and paying for from a highly reputable dental office.
Whats more, compared to our previous dentist (and 30 years experience with other dentists) the dentists at this office seemed inexperienced (right out of dental school), delivered poor bedside manner, and we felt they would better serve others as either "rough carpenters" or "auto mechanics." Truly, this is how we feel we were treated - a source of revenue and not service.
Needless to say, this was our mistake for choosing this office.

Gourlay Dawn (CamilleYun) I have horrible teeth from years of neglect (and night grinding) because of my phobia about dentists, but these guys put me at ease, and the numbing process is much gentler than it was when I was younger. I am well on my way to the prettiest smile ever and am very happy. Thank you!

Robbie Weaver After moving to Florida from the east coast I needed to find a dentist that would take the time to look at and treat a lot of issues that needed attention. Dr Ali was amazing and his staff, just as amazing! Tara took the time to help me secure financing for what was needed and Dr Ali was very patient and straightforward on the direction we were going to take on my teeth… each step was perfect and now I can smile again with confidence thanks to Zephyrhills Dental! I went to 3 other nearby offices, all the others treated me like they didn’t want to deal with me, not Tara, she dug in with me and found a way! Go here, they truly do care!!
