I just got here from San Diego and it was time to look for a new dental home! I did some research and this one was closest to home so I chose it. It's such a beautiful office right when you walk in. Everything is bright and clean. I had the best cleaning ever by Laura! She was so attention to detail. My mouth felt so clean after. She took the time to explain everything to me and was so gentle and caring. Dr Dallas came in and he was so personable. I'm in the dental field so they didn't have to explain much to me. I didn't feel like anything was force on me or anyone trying to sell me anything. I highly recommend this office and I obviously will be back :) Thank you for your time and care. read more

Dr. Pessoa is seriously the best! He quickly diagnosed my issue and worked on getting it treated right away. He was so fast and thorough.

Crowns look great, but what's underneath doesn't. After their initial root canal and crown (done wrong), I ended up with a year-long infection that eventually required an apicoectomy and then a full root canal redo by an endodontist -- who was shocked they had let it go so long (more than a year) and hadn't caught, on imaging, that the entire root canal seal had failed and was leaking. Right after the crowns were placed more than a year ago, I called them in urgent pain -- but they didn't answer for a full week because of "phone issues." In desperation, I went to a 24/7 dentist who misdiagnosed me. When they finally answered the next day, I went back because they knew my case and I didn't want to risk losing my new crowns. They loaded me with antibiotics, did the apicoectomy, and gave me a free bottle of "fairy dust" mouthwash, assuring me that time would help. It didn't. They could have caught this much earlier with proper imaging like an MRI and a timely referral to an endodontist. Instead, it was delay after delay, unnecessary procedures, and more pain than I should have endured. I will not be returning. I paid a lot of money for a nice crown with a hole in it. read more

Excellent visit! Had a wonderful painless teeth cleaning with Tina! She listened to my concerns of previous discomfort experienced when having my teeth cleaned and she made every effort to make sure I was comfortable!! Great job!!! read more

The team at Draper smiles, helped completely change the look of my mouth Dr.Pessosa and his assistant Sonia did absolutely amazing work on my teeth and they gave me confidence to be able to smile again and be proud of my smile.

I highly recommend Draper Smiles. I have had everything from cleanings to crowns and cosmetic bonding. Dr. Pessoa and Dr. Dallas are both professional and extremely talented at what they do. Dr. Pessoa has given me back my confidence after struggling for years with teeth. The whole team is amazing. read more

I do not recommend this dental office, at all. They only offer products that are expensive and the majority, not covered by insurance. My child went in for some fillings and they claimed they only did a certain type of filling, which happened to be not covered under insurance. They didn't offer alternative services to help with costs. They also make you feel guilty for not choosing into services that are not required, i.e. fluoride treatment. They have an upscale, new, and expensive office and they obviously need to pay for it in extra costs. The x-ray equipment they use is excessive and unnecessary. Again, overcharging to pay off that expensive equipment. Every time I leave, I feel as though I did something wrong with MY dental choices. I won't be going back and will be finding a new normal dentist office. read more

Awesome, friendly and professional staff! Dr. Pessoa is the absolute best around. He provided amazing care and took the time to explain options and procedures with the upmost professionalisms. This is the greatest dental service that I have ever received. I am so happy with the outcome and high recommend Dr. Pessoa and his staff for all your dental needs. read more

Draper Smiles - After - General Dentistry Near Me - Draper, Utah

See all

I'm gonna miss this place. They don't take my new insurance. I didn't realize how good I had it until I went to another dentist. This place feels like high class density. Beautiful clean building, nice staff, thorough cleaning and assessments, TVs and music for entertainment to distract you during your dental work, drinks in the fridge while you wait for your visit. It's the little things that often make the big difference and I'm gonna miss it. read more

Reputable, honest dentist office. Highly recommend to anyone. Draper Smiles Dentistry - new dentist Dr. Dallas: actively listens to you, educates, and only promotes what is necessary. Good dentists won't try to upsell you on products and treatments you don't absolutely need. The new dental hygienists was thorough and nice. read more

I found Draper Smiles through Yelp but went with another dentist until they could get me in. I should have waited! I am glad I was able to experience the wonderful staff and incredibly patient Dr. Pessoa who took time to explain things, ensure I was comfortable with his suggestions and fully understood what the risks associated with my dental care are. Hard to find good, honest, caring and professional people. I'm already excited for my next visit! Cassandra was the best! She did amazing and for the first time in years, I didn't leave the chair with a hurt neck. She's really fun and easy to talk to as well which made the whole visit fly by and very enjoyable. read more

Having moved here to Utah from the east coast over a year ago, I was in need of a dentist and found Draper Smiles and thought I would check this place out. I could not be more happier with my experiences at Draper Smiles. Dr. Pessoa and his staff are amazingly courteous and friendly toward their patients - upon arrival Blair greets you with a genuine smile and is very caring toward all patients. For a dental office, I found the office décor to be very clean, stylish and comforting. While waiting to be seen, there is an assortment of up to date magazines, Netflix, and plenty of bottled water at your fingertips. I have also noticed on occasion when young kids of all ages come in for their checkups they are excited to be at the dentist - maybe it's the video games at their disposal or the gentile and caring hygienist who makes this an enjoyable visit. I normally do not write reviews for services I have had, but recently I had an incident on a late Friday afternoon - my temporary dental bridge had broken on my lower front teeth! Oh my what a predicament to be in - I immediately went to Walgreens and purchased dental adhesive and attempted to make the fix myself and to no avail would the temporary dental bridge stay in place. I then placed a call to Dr. Pessoa at 6:30 PM to tell him of my dilemma - he replied "no problem, meet me at my office so I can fix things up for you." I was taken aback by his prompt attention to a patient on a late Friday evening and this kind of service has fortified my trust in Dr. Pessoa and to that end a simple thank you is not enough for this kind of service! If it were not for his attentiveness - my weekend would have been ruined! My family and friends have noticed my new smile, and I tell them Dr. Pessoa and his entire staff at Draper Smiles diligently work their magic and will make you smile every waking moment of your life. read more

I had a great experience as always. The Doctor and his team were very attentive to my needs. The veneers look great, and I would highly recommend Draper Smiles. read more

I, like the majority of the world, hate going to the dentist. My ultra sensitive teeth give me a jolt just thinking about it. But now I've been to Draper Smiles twice and my opinion is quickly changing. Why? Oh, honey, let me tell you why. 1. 7am appointments. I'm a busy woman and I don't like taking off work to have a stranger probe my mouth and scrape my teeth. 2. The Draper Smiles staff is alert and happy, but not too happy at 7am. I don't need people to be ultra chipper before my first cup of coffee, and they strike the right balance. 3. As soon as I said "I have really sensitive teeth" at my first appointment, they gave me a little Dixie cup of magic juice. Swish for 90 seconds, spit, and your mouth becomes pleasantly numb. You'll still feel a little bit, but it makes it much more tolerable. 4. They take their time during the cleaning and are very gentle. I've had cleanings elsewhere that took less than 5 minutes. NOBODY is both that quick AND effective. 5. Dr. Pessoa is super chill, but is also pretty serious about his job. He takes the time to look at your chart, answers any questions you have, and does a very thorough post-cleaning check. 6. Free chapstick. I remember getting my first one and thinking, "How good can free chapstick be?" So good that as soon as I got to my car after my second appointment, I eagerly checked the goody bag for it...and about lost my damn mind when I immediately dropped it in my car. No worries, I found it under my seat. Crisis averted. 7. This is a new one this visit: the free toothbrush. It is so soft it's like having your gums tickled by fairies. I might up my brushing to 3 times a day. Seriously though, if you are looking for a dentist, check this place out. You won't be disappointed. Thanks, Draper Smiles! read more

Dr. Pessoa and his staff are friendly, professional, attentive, and the most expertise that I have found in the area. I plan to continue my relationship there. The quality and look of the ceramic overlays that I had done are phenomenal. read more

Dr. Pessoa is phenomenal! I've had extensive dental work in the past with a continuous history of crowns breaking and popping off. Dr. Pessoa took the time to ask me many questions to ensure that he understood all my concerns, what might have caused past problems, what my "smile" goals were and what was in-bounds/out-of-bounds in terms of treatment. Due to work, I have relocated many times resulting in my cycling through MANY dentists. This was my BEST experience of all and I would highly recommend visiting Dr. Pessoa! He was very kind, patient and totally focused on me and wanting to make to make sure that he delivered the service and results I was seeking. And, his staff... particularly Sonia and Blair who I've interacted with a lot are great!! read more

My husband and I've been coming to Dr. Pessoa for 4 years and I recently started to bring my daughter to see him. I have refer two of my friends to him and they also have winning reviews as well. I had terrible experiences with dentists in the past and he's been so compassionate about my wariness. He's very professional and caring at the same time. I don't like visiting dentists period but since I need to he will always be my top pick. His staff is very friendly and professional as well. His dental hygienist is like a friend to me just because she knows my family teeth. I definitely recommend this office. read more

I am 45 years old and Dr. Pessoa is the best dentist I have ever gone to. I can't recommend him highly enough.

This team is amazing!! Dr. Pessoa took a good chunk of time educating me about what's going on with my teeth. He is genuine and a true professional. I felt like I was in very good hands. The receptionist Joann was a sweetheart! She was patient with my questions and was also genuine and kind, which is really hard to find these days! I could not have been happier. I have finally found a dentist I absolutely trust. Thank you Draper Smiles!! read more

Draper Smiles is the best dentist office I've been to! The staff is always very pleasant, builds great rapport, expresses genuine interest in their patients and is always willing to work with you on your terms! Dr. Pessoa is always very friendly and does things right the 1st time. He takes pride in his work and does not take short cuts. My PREVIOUS dentist used a lot of cheap material and did not take care of me as a patient so coming to this place was a breath of fresh air and I truly believe I am being taken care of and not being lied to! Thank you for always taking good care of me and my family! read more

Dr. Pessoa is so patient. I went in with several problems from my previous 2 dentists. I mean who goes to the dentist just because they have a free afternoon. When I called to make the initial appointment I was nervous, as I was coming in with existing problems and multi TERRIBLE experiences. Tracy was incredibly kind on the phone and very re-assuring from the get go. When I showed up for my first appointment at 7:00 a.m. (and I don't do anything at that time of day) she welcomed me, as did the rest of the office staff. I was taken in for ex-rays and standard detist stuff. When I met Dr. Pessoa he was incredibly patient with me, allowing me to tell him all of my concerns and responded to every single one of them, making sure I understood the difference between my past experience, my concern, and his reality. He has been just as patient every time I have been in to fix the previously existing mess that I had created for him and he has done a beautiful job. Both he and his staff have been kind and gracious and I am immediately greeted by everyone when I arrive. They all want to make sure I am happy with whatever part of my treatment plan they have taken part in and Tracy has been AMAZING at making sure I understand what is happening as far as what my insurance will and will not cover and why. I could not be happier, and I am sooo happy I took a chance with this office! I totally recommend you check them out, no matter what you need a dentist for, a regular cleaning, cosmetic, or a whole new set of teeth. read more

Nice clean office. Very friendly staff. Dr. Pessoa spent time listening to concerns and explained options in detail. I did not feel rushed or pressured. read more

I needed to find a "do all" dentist since I not only had cavities but also needed an implant. I was given Dr Pessao's name and I'm grateful for the recommendation. He spent considerable time with me and was detailed in his explanations and concerns. I was very pleased to find a dentist I feel cares about me and one I can trust. read more

I went in for a free consultation regarding a dental implant and was pleasantly surprised by the professional way this was handled. X-rays were taken as part of the free consultation, and Dr. Pessoa explained in detail what this procedure would entail, including time frames. During the exam, the dentist discovered a small cavity next to the future implant which he will repair, should I have him do the work. Since I have no insurance, the only drawback is the total cost, close to $3,000--a large amount of money for a retired person on Medicare! Nevertheless, I would recommend anyone to Dr. Pessoa and his staff. read more

I recently had some cosmetic work done to my top teeth (about 6) to fill in some gaps from smaller teeth. I am so impressed with Dr. Pessoa's work. The color matching he did was incredible. My teeth look so much better now. I didn't really realize how self conscious I was about them. It bothered me enough to try to improve upon my smile but the end result was so much more than what I was expecting. His perfectionism was much appreciated. Great front of office staff as well :) read more

Highly, highly recommend Dr. Pessoa and the Draper Smiles team. Such an amazing, friendly, professional, and caring staff!

Love, love, love this crew! First appointment today based on a referral from my daughter. The staff is extremely efficient and thorough and so friendly. I feel like a member of the family. Dr. Pessoa is straightforward and explained everything thoroughly so I could make informed decisions on my care based on the facts. They check with your insurance and review with you your options on payment and financing so you don't have to jump through any confusing hoops. Their process is seamless. The atmosphere is professional, clean and friendly. What a great experience - I've booked the whole family for cleanings and exams. Don't delay - call and book today!!! read more
