Dr. Elkind is very through. I appreciate his preventative care, and look forward to taking my newborn to him when she has teeth.

Does the office see children that are 4 yrs old, thank you?

We can as long as they are cooperative.

They are quick to assist their patients (and fellow staff) in any way they can. Highly recommend this office to anyone with any dental needs!

I called simply to schedule an appointment because a crown that is only about two years old had come loose. Unfortunately, the person handling the call made the experience far more stressful than it needed to be. Before I had even been examined by the dentist, he started telling me that I may need an entirely new crown. I understand that replacement is one possible outcome, but that is something the dentist should determine after actually examining the tooth...not something an appointment setter should speculate about over the phone. I have already had difficult and expensive dental experiences in the past, so trust is extremely important to me. I was prepared to return to this office because I had trusted the male dentist not the female dentist (she put a hole in my old crown), but this interaction made me lose confidence before I could even get through the front door. Also his tech didn't even know how to put my crown on the right way. This feels more like a school than a real office. Front-office staff are often a patient's first point of contact, and the way concerns are communicated matters. I wish he had simply listened, scheduled the appointment, and allowed the dentist to evaluate the crown instead of creating unnecessary anxiety about treatment that may or may not even be needed.

I have never written a negative review before, but after months of frustration, I feel compelled to…read moreshare my experience with Making Awesome Smiles of Royal Palm Beach. I scheduled an emergency appointment for a painful tooth and specifically requested Dr. Thomas. When I arrived on April 13, 2026, I was unexpectedly seen by Dr. Perkins and only then learned Dr. Thomas was on sabbatical. No one informed me before my appointment. Dr. Perkins diagnosed a root canal and porcelain onlay. The staff strongly encouraged me to have the root canal performed that day by Dr. Diaz, assuring me he was the "best." Trusting their recommendation, I paid in advance. During the procedure, Dr. Diaz was interrupted multiple times by staff asking questions, causing repeated stops while I was already anxious about my first root canal. After several hours, he said the tooth was heavily calcified, placed a temporary filling, and scheduled me to return on April 22. I was given no written post-treatment instructions. When I arrived for my follow-up, I was told I wasn't on the schedule despite making the appointment before leaving the office. I had to leave and return later that afternoon. During that visit, treatment began again but was stopped when Dr. Diaz determined the case was too complicated and referred me to an endodontist. Dr. Castillo at Wave Endodontics successfully completed the root canal in a single visit on April 28 after I had already endured two unsuccessful attempts. On May 18, I returned to Making Awesome Smiles for my crown and onlay. During the fitting appointment, a dental assistant sprayed cold air on the treated tooth. When I reacted in pain, she laughed and asked why I was scared. I explained that it was painful and asked if that was normal. She said she would ask the doctor. Dr. Diaz repeated the same cold-air test. When he asked why I had reacted, I again explained that it was painful. He then administered a local anesthetic and began placing the crown and onlay. However, neither restoration fit properly. When I asked why they did not fit and why I would have to repeat the procedure, I was told, "Your gums were bleeding last time, so that's why the impression didn't take." As a result, I had to undergo another set of impressions. The refund process was equally frustrating. Since the office could not complete the root canal I had already paid for, I requested a refund on April 22 and was told it would be processed within 72 hours. It never was. For weeks I repeatedly contacted the office, received different explanations, and struggled to reach management. When I finally spoke with the office manager on May 20, nearly a month later, I was told upper management had to approve the refund which is not what I was told. Meanwhile, I had already paid both Making Awesome Smiles and the specialist who ultimately completed the root canal. Making Awesome Smiles continues sending me invoices demanding additional payment. Dr. Diaz also recommended extensive additional dental work, including wisdom tooth removal, replacement of multiple fillings, replacement of my silver fillings, and braces. After seeking a second opinion from another dentist, I was told those treatments were not necessary at this time. I was informed that my fillings were not failing, my wisdom teeth were not an urgent concern, and much of the recommended treatment could be deferred. From my emergency visit through my follow-up appointments, nearly every step involved communication failures, scheduling errors, unsuccessful treatment, billing problems, or unnecessary delays. Between the lack of communication, repeated interruptions during treatment, an incomplete root canal requiring referral, unprofessional staff interactions, poorly fitting restorations, refund and billing issues, and treatment recommendations later contradicted by another dentist, this was one of the most frustrating healthcare experiences I have ever had. I cannot recommend Making Awesome Smiles of Royal Palm Beach. My family and I will be seeking dental care elsewhere moving forward.

I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Chase Thomas at Royal Palm Dental for crown and bridge…read morerestoration after receiving implants on two teeth. Because Dr. Thomas participates in my dental plan and had positive reviews, I booked an appointment for February 17, 2026 and had my implant dentist send over X-rays and the treatment diagnosis in advance. When I arrived, a hygienist reviewed the X-rays and suggested a cleaning. I explained I had already had one about a month earlier. After briefly looking at the X-rays, she told me it was not necessary for me to see Dr. Thomas at all and escorted me to the front desk. At the front desk, Jennifer accessed my dental plan and created a treatment plan with estimated costs. I was told crowns could not be placed for about three months, so I planned to wait for my insurance pre-authorization. Two weeks later my dental plan had received nothing. When I called the office, Jennifer explained that a pre-authorization requires the dentist to evaluate the patient. She then realized I had never actually seen the dentist during my visit. The office manager's (Angie)only response was, "Mistakes are made. We apologize." No solution or follow-up was offered. Dr. Thomas may be an excellent dentist, but the disorganized and unprofessional handling by his staff made the experience very disappointing.

I'm currently in Florida handling my mother's affairs after her passing, and in the middle of all that I needed to see a dentist since I'm overdue. I thought this office might also be a good long-term option since I may be spending more time in the area. When I first called, I explained my situation. They initially tried to put me into a same-day opening due to a cancellation -- just 1.25 hours after I called -- which would have left me barely an hour to get there, and they pushed for me to have my prior X-rays sent over immediately to make it work. I told them that wasn't realistic (it ultimately took multiple calls and three business days to get them the records). As an alternative, they scheduled me for 9:00 AM the following Monday. I asked for something later in the day, since a first appointment right after a weekend can be tricky, but was told this was the only option. In hindsight, the urgency around filling that same-day slot felt more like desperation than a thoughtful patient experience. I went out of my way to make this work. I rearranged my schedule, made sure everything was submitted by Friday, received multiple confirmations including one at 7:00 AM the morning of, and left early to arrive by 8:45 -- 15 minutes ahead as instructed for new patients. At 8:30 AM, while I was already in the car on the way there, I received a call and text canceling the appointment. The reason: no hygienist available and they couldn't find a temp. I was also told they use temporary hygienists for cleanings, which is not something I'm comfortable with to begin with. Canceling at the last minute -- literally while I'm driving there -- after all the effort required to meet their conditions is unprofessional and inconsiderate, particularly given the circumstances I'd explained upfront. And requiring X-rays in advance for what was supposed to be a routine cleaning, only to cancel due to a staffing failure, raises real questions about how this office is managed. Now, already overdue and with further delay due waiting for this cancelled appointment, I have to start over finding a new dentist entirely. I understand things happen, but this level of disorganization and disregard for a patient's time is unacceptable. I have little confidence in how an actual appointment would have gone. I'd strongly encourage anyone considering this office as a new patient to think carefully before investing the time and effort. I certainly won't be rescheduling here.

Responded quickly and was able to get some answers for us and get back to us. Scheduling the first appointment they were very accommodating considering my husband's condition was deteriorating and needed attention fast. We were able to get an appointment that same week. The office was clean and front desk staff very friendly upon check-in. They did x-rays and let you know what was being done. We did have to wait (little longer than expected) before seeing the doctor. But the office staff get us informed not like we were forgotten. When Dr. Shack came in she greeted us with a big friendly smile:-) instantly I think I forgot how long we had been waiting. She explained everything in detail. No beating around the bush. Her knowledge of the work she does definitely shows. Tomorrow we are already coming back for a second visit to address a couple problem areas. My husband was very comfortable with her and how thorough she was with him. I was just there for support! We are quite pleased so far!

Dr Harrison and Dr Harrison and Donna were excellent!!! I can't thank them enough. I am so so happy…read morewith their work I had to post a review here and on Google! I had to get a crown on one of my two front teeth - apparently every dentists' worst nightmare because the crown must match the shape and color of the other front tooth (or the original tooth being crowned) exactly or else your smile changes. During the consultation they were excellent. Dr Harrison and Donna talked me through all my options (crown one tooth, crown nothing or crown both front teeth to make sure they match). With each option given, Dr Harrison and Donna discussed the pros and cons including how it might affect my smile and my face. This was really important to me. I knew they weren't focused on just getting the job done and getting paid. They were focused on getting me the results I was looking for. We decided to do just the one tooth. Donna called me to see if I had any questions and give me prep and whitening advice before coming in. When they were prepping the tooth and putting in the temp crown I was able to pop my headphones in and zone out. The Dr. was funny and easy to talk to and just full of good and positive energy. And with Donna you just knew you were in safe hands. She really took care of me and just made me feel like I was her only patient (idk how u can do that in a dental office but that's exactly how she made me feel). They both had me laughing and relaxed each visit despite how nervous I was about what I was about to potentially do to my smile. When the permanent tooth came in it didn't match 100%. I really really can't overstate how much I appreciate Donna and Dr Harrison for being honest and saying "we're not putting that in". We went outside to check it in the sunlight, they called other employees over to get their opinion, we took pics on my phone and Donna's phone, etc. I was anxious to get my permanent tooth (temp crowns are annoying) in and was getting impatient and if they had said "let's put it in" I probably would have been like "ok let's do it" and been stuck with disappointing results bc who's going to go through that hassle of taking out a brand new crown and redoing it bc it's not "perfect". Instead, they were very honest with their thoughts and had me go meet with the designer so the designer could shade the color with me there in person . The designer had me there for 2 hours while he shaded and reshaded the tooth til it was perfect. He was also easy to work with and focused on perfection!! We went outside, took pics, looked at mirrors inside and outside until we both decided it was perfect! Ok so now we have the perfect shade and shape. I go back to Donna and Dr Harrison. It was the easiest procedure I ever had! I was expecting pain but all I had to do was bite down and it was in and solid. When I saw the permanent crown in I almost cried bc it was so so perfect. Nothing is ever 100% perfect so I was expecting atleast some slight disappointment and just gearing myself up to getting used to a new smile that was atleast different, at most ugly. But I'm so happy to say: If you knew me before the crown you would have no idea my front tooth is now a Crown!!! I really cannot thank Donna and Dr Harrison enough for their honesty and focus on giving me exactly what I was looking for. I had to write a review to first thank them. And to tell everyone -especially those looking for the "very difficult to do" single front crown procedure - to come see Donna and Dr Harrison. They will take good care of you and be honest.
