Everyone there from the office staff, the hygienists, and Dr. Solar himself are incredibly nice and very gentle. When I had my wisdom teeth pulled, Dr. Solar was so gentle that I swear I didn't even know he pulled them out.

Scheduling is easy, they are very flexible and always give a reminder courtesy call about upcoming appointments. I moved to Palm Harbor and I still make the drive down to Largo for my dental appointments. That says a lot.

They were short, so the clerk had to call me back after conferring with the dentist about when to squeeze me in. I was in by 10am. I don't have insurance, so their clerks set me up with their discount plan, which included the fee for the emergency visit and x-ray. Everyone was friendly and professional. Unfortunately I have to see an endodontist for further work and then return, and it is going to be expensive. However, after calling around to other offices, the discount plan made it almost half the price that everyone else is quoting. The only thing that is more expensive than other offices are the fillings, which was about a $40 difference.

The office manager, Jordan is very personable and helpful in person, but she absolutely refuses to…read morehelp with insurance. I called and told her my tooth was broken and I was in pain and she said the only way I could be seen was if I wanted to pay cash because the preauthorization had not come back yet and I would have to call the insurance company myself to get it expedited. The insurance company called her and asked her to resubmit the treatment plan in a different order to get the emergency taken care of and she said she would not do it. I had to go to another Great Expressions office that saw me immediately the day I called and called the insurance company and got things taken care of and got me out of pain that day. The dentist who does extractions at this office (Bellair Bluffs) - Dr. Abied - did a terrible job. I have never had a bad experience with a dentist before. He was obviously in a hurry and gave me several injections to numb the area for extractions (4 teeth) in under a minute. I know from experience that when the dentist does each one slowly there is no pain other than the initial pinch. It was very painful and my entire body was shaking when he finished. That has never happened before. I have had extractions before and the dentist always leaves the room for 5-10 minutes to allow the numbing agent to take effect. He did not do this and immediately started working on the extractions when he finished the injections stating "it's already starting to get numb." He told me to raise my left hand if I felt any pain. Several times I raised my left hand and cried out in pain and he never slowed down or even paused. Instead he just said "breathe" and kept going. When he didn't stop I tried to close my mouth and he said "keep it open" and kept working. He had absolutely no regard for the pain I was in and refused to slow down, pause, or manage the pain in any way. I would warn anyone to not use him for any dental work as he obviously does not care about his patients' comfort. I have had a lot of dental work prior to this, including root canals and never experienced pain and disrespect like this. This is unacceptable and all of it was preventable and unnecessary.

They cancelled again?! How can this business even be open? (They did send out a $60 coupon in the mail for a cleaning, check up and X-rays). Obviously they are not doing well and need more patients. Or not? You get what you pay for! Save yourself the headache and do NOT go to this dentist office!!

I woke up this morning so rested without a headache, the guard fits perfectly. I was really surprised that it took zero time to get used to. I wore it last night for the first time and fell right to sleep in it :)! It's really comfortable and sort of a minimalist design, not bulky at all compared to other guards I've tried over the years. This one is very durable and cute. It snaps in place on my upper teeth. I noticed this morning while I was waking up, I was physically unable to clench or bite down on one side like I normally do. Amazing, it works like a supportive brace. Previous night guards I gave up on because they hurt and didn't help at all, very uncomfortable and couldn't sleep at all in them. I highly recommend this particular type of night guard. Dr Chamberlain explained the importance of wearing it only for a specified number of hours at a time, as well as instructions for cleaning it/caring for it.
