After a few stops and starts, Grand Oaks Dental and I finally were able to get things rolling in…read morethe right direction. There is always the issue of filling out paperwork for a new medical provider. Paperwork... a source of great pain and suffering for all of us... so you have to get into THEIR portal and fill out THEIR questionnaire inside the portal. There is always a portal that we all have to deal with. So what happens when you have a 90 year old that has never touched a computer in their life ? What happens then ? they certainly aren't going to be able to go tap dancing into "the portal". Overall this is a very slick operation. I really wasn't looking for that. I was mostly looking for a non-corporate type dentist that took my insurance. That's hard to find. They took my dental insurance. The only insurance that I have ATM. After several attempts and two visits I was finally scheduled for a teeth cleaning which was what I wanted all along. After all the xrays, the 3D, the lasers and whatever else that was needed I was finally able to get a teeth cleaning. It was a really crowning achievement (for me). To finally get to the end goal....was heavenly ! My dental hygienist who did the teeth cleaning was absolutely spectacular. I actually felt like I got my teeth cleaned (for once). All the other teeth cleanings I've had in the last 10 years just seemed.... blah.. just nah... just a big zero. I really didn't feel the difference once I rolled my tongue over my teeth. With this particular hygienist, she was thorough and precision oriented. I could tell that she really did a detailed job and I made sure to let her know. I really appreciate her ! I also met the dentist, although very brief as it was... He was very nice and young and I felt like he was precise and knew exactly how to calm the patient down (me) while explaining the options. So far... my perception of this business is A+

I've been working with Dr. Astrid Sands and Dr. D at Smart Dentistry since 2018. I came from having…read moreextreme trauma regarding my teeth that stemmed from a wisdom tooth extraction gone horribly wrong in 2012. I am not an easy patient to work with as the dental chair is the one place where I'm not able to control my emotions. I had avoided going to the dentist for many years even though I knew that I had issues that needed to be resolved. Astrid and her team have been exceptionally patient with me and I'm so happy to say that after nearly 5 years of extreme daily discomfort due to my dental health, I am now pain free. Prior to working with Astrid, my experience with Dentists was that they didn't listen to me or take into consideration that I was in a lot of pain. Astrid and Dr. D takes extra care to give me breaks when needed and are extremely good at communicating with me during dental procedures which as a result I no longer experience panic attacks in the dental chair. I feel really good about having dental implants and fillings that don't contain metal. They've introduced me to Ozone therapy which has been extremely amazing in my healing journey. I also wanted to note that they took extra care of me while receiving necessary work whilst pregnant. Overall, I am super grateful to have found them. It's an hour commute for me and it is well worth it. I have had a couple of times where it seemed the administrative side of the office was lacking in the way of having to reschedule my appointments or running behind schedule. However, they've also easily made up for the mishaps by taking me last minute when needed. I can't say enough good things about Astrid and Dr. D. They've got me as a client for life. Edit**Also I read the other reviews accusing them of being scams. I find this extremely disheartening and I wouldn't be surprised if the two people posting are the same person. Every time I've had an issue with Smart Dentistry, we've been able to work it out...whether regarding finances or scheduling. Andrew is the person I usually talk to regarding such matters is super understanding. Smart Dentistry is DEFINITELY not a scam. Just want to drive that point home. ...

But this lady doesn't know what she's doing, messed up my mouth, and charged me fortune. I will be paying this bill off for over a year and all I got was a cleaning and a filling replaced. She cut my tongue, left a huge blood bubble in my cheek and fused my two teeth together with the filling she replaced. I couldn't floss for days(not even sure if it was true it had to be replaced now maybe that was a scam too) Then, when I went back to fix it and told her about what happened, because I payed an insane price, she just gaslit me and said everyone's body is different so none of it is her fault and she did everything perfectly. She also charged me $300 for a retainer after the wisdom tooth removal (I obviously didn't go through with it, I went to another dentist after that, an actual dental surgeon) that I didn't use and then she wouldn't refund me or take it back. She forced me to get the mold done the day before the surgery, before I changed my mind after she messed up my mouth. Also, the surgeon I went to afterwards was amazing, he said that the retainer wasn't even necessary at all, and that theirs were only $100 and it's the exact same thing. On top of that, the surgeon i went to had to take new ct scans anyways because at smart dentistry my jaw was cut off on their Ct scan. I payed over $2,000 for everything. Needless to say I left smart dentistry in tears because I spent my last dollar there. Doctor sands did not care one bit.

The entire staff always gives off positive vibe that immediately puts you at ease. Unlike corporate dental clinics that seem chaotic, here at Nature's Coast from the minute you enter their lobby the front desk staff makes me feel right at home, no anxiety. Everything runs on time and it is a professionally managed and clean office. I have posted here in the past regarding the office staff, technicians, hygienists and dentist as all being very knowledgeable, informative, gentle and kind. And that they use the latest technological equipment and procedures. But more importantly, this place is very respectful of your time. One final comment, I have been to many other dentist that exaggerated my needs in order to make more money. It is so relieving to find a dental practice that has integrity! So, YES, I highly recommend Nature's Coast. Thank you Dr. Manzur and team for a job well done!

From the moment we walked in, Dr. Nguyen and his entire staff were professional, warm, and welcoming. The office is immaculate and has a beautiful, almost spa-like atmosphere that immediately put us at ease. I'm a true decades long dental-phobe, and I recently needed a crown. After visiting many dental practices over the years and in several different states, I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about Heritage Dental. I was given a chair right in front of a huge window overlooking their lovely outdoor fountain. They even provided noise-canceling headphones with my choice of music. Somehow, what I expected to be a stressful afternoon turned into an unexpectedly pleasant one! Dr. Nguyen is incredibly capable, funny, and reassuring. Taylor, his associate who has been with them for years, was exceptionally caring, gentle, and efficient. Dr. Houston finished my crown placement with ease. And the crown? Beautifully done while I waited. One and done! The entire experience was a 10/10, and I'm a very tough judge! What impressed me just as much was the follow-up. The office checked in afterward, and Dr. Nguyen personally texted me twice to see how I was doing. That kind of genuine care is rare. Katie at the front desk and everyone at Heritage Dental played a part in helping to diminish decade of serious dental anxiety. I walked in as a dental-phobe and walked out wondering why I had been so worried! I would genuinely recommend Dr. Nguyen and his wonderful team to family and friends without hesitation. Thank you all so much for making an experience I usually dread one I actually feel good about! Elyse

Giving birth was easier…read more Based on the "oral surgery " consultation I failed to realize this isn't an oral surgery practice. My fault. Self pay, no insurance. Went back twice expressing pain. Doctor never came in to check, no call to check on post op needs. Used X-rays and tech reports to advise my care. She was wonderful, and not a dentist. Today, almost two months later, I saw my NY family dentist, he removed a small floating bone spur. Determined necessary after a quick physical examination. It took about thirty seconds to remove. Wow! Already feels better. I recommend using an oral surgeon for extraction, and if there are post op issues insisting on seeing the dentist. There was no need for me to suffer this long.
