5 /5 Jessica Bricker: In 2025, I finally decided it was time to take care of the dental work I had been putting off for years. The first office I visited tried to push me into signing a $14,000 loan on the spot—which felt more like a sales pitch than a consultation. That’s when I decided to do a little research and see what local patients were actually recommending.
After checking a few Lakeland Facebook groups, I kept seeing people rave about Shimmering Dental—and now I know why. I scheduled a consultation, and right away I felt confident I had found the right place to fix my yellow pearls. The team wasn’t pushy at all. In fact, they let me know that some of the expensive services the first office tried to sell me weren’t even necessary. They clearly listed out every service and cost, and my quote ended up being nearly half of what I was originally told elsewhere!
The entire staff is wonderful, and I’ve had work done by both Dr. Mateo Vidales and Dr. Thomas—it’s been flawless from start to finish. I couldn’t be happier. Now my yellow pearls are officially pearly whites!
