Doctors take the "Hippocratic Oath" to do no harm, but none exists for dentists. Some dental schools administer their version of it upon graduation, but there is no requirement. Think about that as you read my long overdue review, which is complex and painful for me to write, but represents my experiences. Me: a fearful patient due to a difficult dental history since childhood, with a low pain threshold, and high-quality requirement. I therefore need excellence, expertise, handholding and patience and explanations. Also: different levels of sedation, depending upon procedure. A periodontist praised South Broward Dentistry & Prosthodontics (SBD&P) as the dentistry "gold standard", and described Dr. Michael Simon as "an artist" in creating beautiful smiles. He was patient, helpful, et al. BUT veneers (made for "beautiful smiles") fell off from the very beginning, and continued to do so - a problem made more difficult once I left the area and would travel to SBD&P. When first getting the veneers - a $20,000 (twenty THOUSAND $$) investment - I specifically asked what period of time he would service his product; he told me 5 years, after which "we will see". Dr. Simon took an extended leave following a family tragedy. His #2 Dr. Andra Andrei covered, and eventually acquired the practice. My situation occurred at this very intersection: Dr. Simon had just returned (in my opinion, too soon based upon some of his judgements) and I returned a cleaning and replacement of 2 front-located veneers, performed by Dr. Andrei's staff: I was medicated (2-triazolams plus gas, and fell asleep) for a) cleaning, b) re-cementing a veneer to the top center, and b) temporary veneer center bottom they would have to create, as I'd swallowed prior one) while making up a new permanent. I did not want my "beautiful smile" to resemble Alfred E. Neumann's. I was still "out of it" when my friend came to pick me up, but with it enough to ask multiple times why there was no temporary veneer on the missing bottom tooth. The staff said, "we told your friend" - which makes no sense, since my friend was not an authorized surrogate for my personal health information. Later that week, I learned from the one dependable staff person (from the prior office) that my file was notated with the month I said I would return to South Florida - again, ridiculous, as I had no plans to return, expecting instead to plan it around SBD&P's alert regarding readiness of a permanent veneer. All of these activities were apparently decided by STAFF - not the dentist, who were not qualified to make such declarations, least of all without my input. Further, when I tried to phone Dr. Andrei, she refused to come to the phone - not once or even twice, but many times. And although it was only about 3 years since spending $20,000 on "beautiful smile" despite veneers popping off with regularity, the practice still charged me over $100 for gluing one on!!! To summarize: * The staff (techs, etc.) made decisions concerning my treatment, * While I was under sedation, * Neither informing (nor asking) me for input, and did not phone later - they just made decisions for me, and * Claimed they told my friend - an unauthorized person - about why I did not receive a temporary veneer. (Claiming I was returning too far out in the future. In reality, I had no date, planning to book a return trip based upon timing of their next procedure, as I have always done in the past.) * Dr. Andrei, now practice owner, refused to speak with her patient (me) the many times I attempted to reach her by phone, and has never phoned me; * Yet SBD&P still continues to bombard me with mailings, texts and other outreach to goad me into a next appointment. The constant failure of the "permanent cement" has struck me as the dental equivalent of "planned product obsolescence", thus providing an annuity to the dentist. In other words, permanent cement is by design not permanent, at the incremental cost of $100-$900/tooth. As I am writing this (March 2026), I have had TWO ADDITIONAL veneers pop off since that end of September 20205 visit. With my history of dental fears, anxieties and poor treatment by dentists, this does not bode well. My "beautiful smile" is now causing me terror: I do not know when my "teeth" will fall out, whether at a dinner, in a conversation, in a work or social situation .... I am mortified, it continually happens, and SBD&P has turned its back on me and its promises. Having spent $20K, Dr. Simon now claims he will only stands behind his work for two (2) years (after he told me 5). As an addendum, Dr. Simon said that the porcelain permanent veneers would "never become stained by coffee, red wine, blueberries or other foods". Please see for yourselves. read more

Updated Yelp Review (Final Draft) I originally went to Dr. Simon's office because an implant had fallen out. When I arrived, I was told he wasn't available and that I would see another dentist in the office instead. She began the procedure, but couldn't remove the remaining part of the implant, and Dr. Simon eventually had to come in to help. They placed a temporary piece, and over the next several months I kept being told to come back in two or three months for follow-up visits. Eventually, the temporary fell out, and I was told it was due to an infection. After that, they said my tooth wouldn't be able to hold an implant after all -- even though they had already started the implant process and I had already paid for it. Dr. Simon then said I would need a bridge instead, which I ended up paying about $5,000 for. The bridge came out fine, but the whole process took almost two years, was very uncomfortable, and I often felt that I wasn't treated with much care or respect. I'm sharing this so others know to ask detailed questions before starting major dental work especially to confirm that an implant is a stable option before committing financially. read more

Dr. Simon refused to accept Metlife PDP plus insurance rates even though he is listed as a provider. He wanted to charge me out of network rates. Insurance quoted $10,439.00 for 6 crowns. Dr. Simon wanted almost $16,811.00 The manager Dianne Rodriguez stated that Metlife rates are incorrect. So my honest opinion is the following: if you have Metlife PDP plus insurance do not go to Dr. Simon. read more

I finally found a real dentist talk to Michael Simon and his staff of the most incredible nicest, professional, caring understanding help providers that you could never find Dr. Michael Simon is a gentleman. He really cares about his patience for instance myself I lost my top teeth and he's given me an unbelievable discount where other dentists will charge you full price he takes his time to explain everything he does not rush and his staff and his supervise unbelievable as well. I'm not your average person to leave these views, but I had to when it came to Dr. Michael Simon on 2500 E. Beach Blvd., Hallandale, FL. If you want the job done correctly, don't waste your time. Going to anywhere else give his office a call. He's amazing. Michael Wroclawski read more

I am 68 years old, lived all over the country including NYC which I still call home and rarely write reviews but this was a must. If you want the best Dentist/Prosthodontist you have just found him. First you should know he's as gentle and painless as any dentist can be. I have been going to his practice for 6 years and I literally will not let another dentist near my mouth as long as he is in practice. He has filled cavities, replaced facing, put in crowns and kept a close eye on my mouth as I have a rare disease that doesn't produce saliva. In case you don't know it, saliva is what washes away bacteria while you sleep which keeps your gums and teeth healthy. I'm not so lucky. He is factious with implants but I no longer have them due to health reasons. He has an incredibly nice personality and very caring. There has never been the simplest procedure that his office does not check up on me the following morning. Adrianna who manages the office always answers the phone in a cheerful positive way. It would be hard for me to continue year after year being that positive after getting her share of calls with people in distress or as I find in Florida some not so pleasant people. The whole staff is incredibly nice. His Dental Hygienists are spectacular and no matter which one you get you can rest assured your teeth will be thoroughly checked and cleaned. When I moved to Boca Raton a few years ago I visited one dental practice here just to get my teeth cleaned and actually sued them for fraudulent practices. Dr. Simon will not do unnecessary work or charge exorbitant fees. I travel one hour each way to go to Dr. Simon and I can't even think of anyone else ever touching my teeth ever again. He has made my smile a thing of beauty. It wasn't always that way. Anyone who I have recommended to see him have called to thank me. Good dentists are hard to find so if you need one you can really trust Dr. Simon is your guy. Best dentist in my whole life. read more

We had a variety of services performed at South Broward Dentistry & Prosthodontics, and have always been very happy with the care. Dr. Simon is very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and patient, and made me very comfortable during procedure so I completely trust his expertise! My husband got a few implants and crowns. My son got fillings done, and I recently got new zirconia crown. What makes this office UNIQUE are GREAT PEOPLE, real professionals that actually CARE about, and VALUE every patient!!!!!!!!!! Dr. Simon always sends us handwritten thank you letters! I highly recommend Dr. Simon's office to everyone! read more

Going to a new dentist for the first time can be pretty nerve wracking. And I personally have not had great experiences with my previous dentist and overall experience in Atlanta. Forward to Florida : I couldn't be more fortunate to get acquainted with Dr. Simon and his staff via accompanying the senior I look after on several of his previous visits/appointments. He's having extensive ongoing work involving implants and more. So, seeing how I've been here in Florida for several months (& not at all thrilled with Dentist in Atlanta) I made the wise decision to take full advantage of services offered by Dr. Simon and his wonderful staff. It was the best decision I've made regarding my teeth. Why? Let me tell you : In the year 2000,I had two root canals done which did not hold up whatsoever. After a consultation with Dr. Simon and staff, I decided to go the best route which is including two implants with screws in my jaw and all. Serious work that will hold up forever. And let me just tell you, if I could write a review for each and everyone of his staff, I would! I must give a big shout out to Adriana, Theresa, Dee, Louisa, Phyllis, and more. All awesome human beings! And I would write separate reviews for each individual staff member of Dr. Simon's if I could because they more than deserve it. I have never felt more comfortable in a dentist office and it's almost a fun experience, lol. Every time I visit (about 5 times so far) I get the utmost of care, kindness, compassion, lots of laughs, and the list goes on. And I also have to point out the fact that Dr. Simon personally called me to check on how I was doing the day I got the screws put in my jaw. He also did the same for the senior take care the evening following his surgery. Top notch. Dr. Simon and his staff truly and genuinely care about their patients and they ALWAYS go above and beyond. I cannot say enough or praise them enough. I am returning to Atlanta next month but I'm going to continue with Dr. Simon as my primary dentist. Flying out here every six months to keep my mouth happy is completely worth it. read more

Michael Simon, DMD - Dr. Simon's patient lobby. - Prosthodontists Near Me - Hallandale Beach, Florida

I am a new patient of Dr. Simons and I am getting two implants. I call him the painless dentist. I find him to be very patient answering all my questions and explaining the details. He is very knowledgeable and thorough and pays a lot of attention to sanitary cleanliness. He doesn't keep you waiting. I had so far two teeth pulled and bone graft so far waiting to heal for the rest of the work to be done. The moment I left I wasn't feeling any pain. I find his prices to be fair. He and his staff called a couple times to make sure I was ok. His staff is very friendly and they truly are concerned about you. I would definitely recommend him. read more

Dr. Simon is an excellent dentist who enjoys what he does. All of the staff members are very professional and very cheerful. They make you feel welcome. Every dental room has a beautiful view of the intercoastal waterway, and it's own selection of music. I always find it very relaxing to go there. They use state of the art equipment. Dr. Simon is like a family dentist. I notice a huge difference between his practice and some of the major practices in the area. Everybody takes an interest in you as a person, not just teeth and a dollar sign. Every time I've needed to get in urgently, Dr. Simon's practice has been very accommodating. Last memorial day weekend, on Friday evening I broke a crown. I called and quickly received a call back. The on-call dentist assured me it was safe to go to Naples for vacation. Dr. Simon got back from his vacation that Wednesday and they fit me in to get a new crown that day. It just so happened that this crown chipped. He got me right back in, put in a temporary, and did not charge for his services that day. If you need a good dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Simon! read more
