To say we are disappointed is an understatement. It's hard to find a good Dentist in Brevard County that does not rip you off or try to sell products and services that you really do not need. We thought we finally found one; but disappointed to say we did noti and got screwed over in the process.

From the very first consultation through my All on 4 dental implant procedure and follow ups, I was treated with professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. They took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt totally comfortable the entire time. This was invaluable to me since I have suffered significant trauma in the past! My journey started with Dr Richard Schmid (Sunrise Facial and Oral Surgery) performing my full upper teeth extraction. For someone who faints while giving blood, this experience could not have been easier! Surgery was seamless and my recovery was swift. I can't believe that I felt comfortable within a week after significant bone grafting. It was so successful, I ended up with 6 implants instead of just the minimum 4. This father & son "dynamic dental duo" provided me with completely orchestrated care across both offices and throughout the process. In either office - the staff is absolutely incredible--friendly, patient, and so supportive. They truly go above and beyond to make you feel at ease, which made a life changing procedure much less stressful. The attention to detail, compassion, and teamwork really stood out. The results have exceeded my expectations. My smile looks amazing, feels natural, and has completely restored my confidence. I am truly grateful for the outstanding care I received and would highly recommend this office to anyone considering dental implants or any dental work. Thank you to both Dr's Schmid - for changing my smile and my life!

What an amazing experience, from scheduling to wait time, professionalism to perfection. Had a…read moreveneer (front top) break and went to another dentist for replacement. After spending several thousands of dollars and (now I know) unnecessary pain, I was left with a front tooth that was the wrong shape, was too thick, was the wrong color and they hadn't told me that instead of a veneer, they shaved it down so much it was now a crown. I was devastated. I found Dr. Rutsis and they immediately got me in and agreed that "it's good enough" (what the previous dentist told me) wasn't the standard they held themselves at. They had me go to the lab where the veneer was created to actually get it color matched. At the previous dentist, everytime they worked on the tooth, they gave me shots, so I had 4 shots in the same place over a period of a couple months. My mouth was extremely sore and I was terrified when Dr. Rutsis was going to put the new tooth on. To my surprise, I didn't need a shot. There was no yanking, pulling or drilling like before. The difference was surreal. The greatest thing though was when she was done, the replacement looked beautiful. It matched perfectly, my smile was back!!! I literally broke into happy tears and all the ladies at the office were just as happy for me. I feel like I not only found a gem of an office but I made a handful of supportive friends through the experience. Today I went back to get some cavities filled....something I've put off for years because of all the horrid experiences I've had with dentists. She filled 4 and not once, not even with the shot, did I feel any pain. I wish I could give this office a 10 star review. I highly recommend!!!!!

Unless.... chewing that delicious hunk of meat causes unbearable pain, and drinking a chilled beverage triggers a jolting intolerance to temperature! Thank goodness for Nawrocki Dental. Now, as I happily chomp down on my favorite rosemary lamb loin from Wal-Mart (trust me, just try it!) for dinner tonight, I reflect on the incredible experience I had with this unparalleled dental practice.  Moving down to Cocoa Beach from NYC at the start of the pandemic in March, I was absolutely terrified of going to any medical office for any reason. After a pesky toothache progressed into full-blown, sleepless agony radiating throughout my jaw on a Friday night, I began to frantically google for a local emergency dentist. Fortunately, I stumbled across Dr. Gary Nawrocki. Even though his office is closed on the weekends, he called me on his cell phone and was SO kind, thoughtful, and helpful, giving me useful advice before he could fit me in on Monday morning. During our appointment, he quickly and literally got to the "root" of my problem, and I felt both relieved and empowered to begin  a treatment plan that would address years of neglected dental issues. For the first time, I felt like I had found a dentist that didn't simply "spot treat" me; rather, he gave me a thorough examination to prevent any similar, painful problems from arising in the future.  Dr. Nawrocki isn't just a highly capable, skilled expert in his field, but he's also truly one of the very best doctors I have EVER known. He's a master of all things dental: fillings, root canals, crowns, extractions, implants, veneers, TMJ... you name it -- this place is a one-stop shop for ALL of your dental needs. (And, yep, I had just about all of the aforementioned services performed, and I could not be happier with everything!) Dr. Nawrocki is also just an all-around great human being. His love of Crossfit and model trains makes him even cooler in my book! (Wait 'til you see the awesome mural and layout in his office!).  His staff is, hands-down, my favorite medical staff of any practice, anywhere. Lina, Theresa, Michelle, and Shannon and co. are professional, friendly, and welcoming -- they truly make you feel like family. I'm as comfortable in their dental chair as I am in my own recliner at home, and I owe that to more than the fact the chairs have built-in massagers and excellent neck support -- it's also the environment that the incredible staff has created for the patients. I was completely blown away by my fellow New Yorker Lina, an employee with beauty and brains and a true talent for the incredible work she does. Amongst the many things she did for me, including easing my anxieties with her wonderful words, she crafted me a life-changing NTI-tss while I waited for my custom night guard. If I was ever stranded on a desert island, that NTI would be one of the things I'd hope to have with me! Walking away from my dental work the past few months, I feel like a queen. And no, not because my mouth is full of crowns, but because I can smile completely pain-free, and with full, unabashed vanity.  Even if I returned to NYC for good, I would fly back to Nawrocki Dental for a routine cleaning or filling. Or, hey, I'd even come back just to hang out with them! I'm not saying I'm going to stop flossing, but I really would look forward to coming to the office. Never thought I'd say that about a dentist's office, but I am telling you the the tooth.... I mean, the TRUTH:)

I developed pain in my jaw while in Wisconsin with my son. I went to his dentist. The dentist I saw…read moresaid she couldn't find anything on the X-rays. She thought it was an infection. She referred me to an endontist for two root canals and gave me an appointment for two crowns afterwards to the tune of $6000+. Aside from sticker shock, I was uncomfortable doing that since they hadn't been able to see the problem on xray. Dr. Nawrocki has been our dentist since we moved to Cocoa Beach 13 years ago. I called him to get his opinion. He immediately called in a prescription for an antibiotic and advised me to let him know if that helped. 3 days later the pain was gone, so he said I could wait until I got back. 2 weeks later his x ray showed a large abscess on one tooth. 2 weeks and 1 root canal after that the problem was solved and I have two beautiful new crowns for 2/3 of the price I was quoted in Wisconsin. I'm so grateful to Dr. Nawrocki and his staff for their excellent care!
