These people helped fix my teeth. They were gentle and kind and always quick. My teeth looked horrible before and everyone compliments my smile. It was 18K to have them all done but worth it because I have a good smile that will last. read more

Sage Dental - General Dentistry Near Me - Orlando, Florida

*Update since the business responded* The insurance was never and should've never been the issue. It's the service or lack there of. I went out of my way to call my insurance company and Sage Dental corporate to let them know the situation. I, in fact, do have insurance that is accepted by Sage dental. Ms Katelyn is just rude and unappealing. Literally the absolute worst. The front desk lady Katelyn is condescending and will gaslight you. She refused to let me in for my appointment even after I showed her my insurance. She tried to keep saying I didn't have one. I think she really could be challenged in some aspect and probably not fit for a front desk job, so good for her for trying. However, how can you be presented with the insurance and say "We are trying to verify and check the insurance you think you have" that ?? I think I have????? I told her that sage dental was listed as one of the providers under the insurance and she did not care. What a waste of time and energy, so I go home and wait because she said she'll call me once she verifies and we can reschedule. I call her back atleast 3 times throughout the day checking in and she kept telling me I didn't have insurance.!?!?!? I called my insurance to check and in took me 2 seconds to verify I had it. So I call this girl back to let her know that and she says sorry that was a mistake !?!?! There were a lot more condescending comments that she gave that I will leave out. But stay far far away from this place read more

After switching to Medicare recently, I had my first appointment with Sage. After my xrays a financial manager came in the explain that I needed work totaling 13K out of pocket and assist with financing to help pay for it all. Said I needed a deep cleaning as well. Never had a financial manager talk to me at a dentist office before. I walked out. My new dentist recommended only a fraction of the work Sage wanted to do and said a deep cleaning was only necessary for a much smaller portion of my teeth. read more

Do not come here. This was, without question, the worst experience at a dental office. They overcharge for procedures they never complete, and the inconsistency from the office staff is wild. You will receive a different answer every time you call, often accompanied by dismissive and gaslighting behavior. "We are so sorry YOU feel that way". People feel a certain way about a situation based on how they were treated, but Sage Dental will not take accountability for their actions. The moment you mention seeking a second opinion, be prepared for a shift to rudeness and unprofessional behavior by the office staff. Any semblance of care, quality, integrity, or professionalism is completely absent in this office. They also bill your insurance before completing procedures, trapping you into returning for POOR work. Being left in pain for weeks because the dentist is out of the office is unacceptable and almost unethical. Not until my 5th call into the office and letting my frustration show was I magically told that another doctor could do it. For this office you need to meet rudeness with rudeness to be taken seriously. Do your research and avoid this office at all costs. There are countless reputable dental practices in Orlando, and your time, money, and well-being deserve better. Sage Dental is not an accredited business with the BBB, and it shows. Update: the new doctor was able to put the crown on. But at the end of the day, it doesn't excuse everything that happened above. My review still holds up and I would not recommend this office. read more

This place is a money pit! Beware because this place works on production so they will tell you that you need a bunch of things that are not necessary. read more

With 12 days left of the year my dental insurance was completed wasted when I walked into my appointment 30 minutes early and was told they had me on file and sent me paperwork to fill out but did not actually schedule an appointment and could not work me in. They said I must have talked to someone at "the call center" and they weren't responsible for honoring my appointment. Here's me now getting laughed at by other offices for trying to make a new patient appointment in the next week (Christmas). Highly recommend planning ahead by going somewhere else. Merry Christmas! read more

Outstanding dental office! Dr Vazquez, Farrah, Kierra and Alfa were ALL outstanding! They did a consult to see what I needed and were able to fit me in the same day! The quality of care was EXCELLENT! The facility is clean and everything was perfectly organized. Thanks to everyone at SAGE DENTAL of DOWNTOWN Orlando! read more

Dr.Shalibi and the staff at Sage Dental are truely remarkable and deserve the highest praise because of their dedication to providing fast,friendly, professional service and care to their patients. If you want to know what it must feel like to an injured sparrow to have landed into the hand of God, you kind of get the idea of the level of professional and compassionate care I have received over the many years from the downtown Sage Dental Family. Thank you Dr.Shalabi and the entire staff. Have a safe,happy, prosperous New Year! Glenn Miller read more

They are a bunch of crooks. You go for a regular cleaning with your insurance and end up with a deep cleaning with 500% charges out of pocket in addition to your insurance Stay 100 miles away from them if you know what is good for you read more

NP, never called about how much it was going to cost! Do not let you in to the office untill 7:50 am for 8 am appt! Rudely told via intercom that they are closed until 8 am! This is a three month check up with dentist and was told it $175 without cleaning since my benefits are exhausted! Never coming this practice again. Deceptive practices! read more

I went here as an emergency stop gap with tooth pain and was advised a root canal was necessary. Root canal went fine and I was fitted with a temp crown. Came back for the perm crown replacement and the color was off. Okay, nobody's fault. Got another temp and had new appt for the perm placement. Two days before the perm placement, they called and said their dentist is unavailable for approx the next month, they have no back up dentist (but if they find one, they'll reach out), that none of their other clinics will see me to place the crown instead and there is nothing else they can do, sorry. If you arent aware, they tell you when you get a temp crown that you shouldn't bite into things like.....toast until you get the perm crown. Toast. And the temporary crown is supposed to be just that: temporary. Like a couple weeks, not a month and a half. Do emergencies happen, even to dentists? Of course. Is it a practice's responsibility to have a viable coverage plan in case the dentist is unavailable for weeks at a time? After I posted this, the practice did call and was able to fit me in today to have the permanent crown installed. The sub dentist was professional and friendly. read more

my Name Fernando Gigante Yesterday, July 7, 2025, I was seen by Dr. Crawford for a Canal Route. 1. I was seen 1 hour after my appointment. 2. The doctor was extremely abrupt when administering the anesthetic. I felt attacked. 3. He was extremely rushed and I doubted the work was done properly. 4. Upon arriving at the office, he didn't greet me, much less say good afternoon. All of this happened at the Downtown branch. It's unfortunate. read more

I have been seeing a periodontist for about 20 years. I moved to Florida almost 3 years ago, so I found a local periodontist. I don't like that periodontist, so I want to transfer my care. Dr. Dibs office wants me to get a referral. My insurance doesn't require the referral, the office does. I am seeing a periodontist and I want to see if they're any better? But I can waste more of my time and see their general dentist to get that referral. read more

Too much to write again. Please refer to all the negative reviews at Sage Dental on Central Ave in downtown Orlando. You can also see their insincere canned response to all the reviews. This place is incompetent and dishonest. Your Dental work is absolutely NOT their primary concern. Money and running up your bill IS their primary motivation. RUN, DONT WALK FROM THIS PLACE!!!! read more

A robbery agency of Downtown Orlando I am so upset because there is no minus to give this provider a minus not even Zero I went to this office to get some dental work I have insurance, and they did the X-rays and told me I have to do a panoramic X-Rays .. then cancer screening. which was not necessary. Just to empty my wallet. I spoke with them about my insurance coverage, and they said the insurance companies don't know what is needed in the offices Then at the checkout they had my treatment plan with 1 root canal and 4 fillings plus the deep cleaning which I already did 8 months ago but they said you have to do it .. guess what was the cost of those items??? 5000 dollars ... I looked my insurance benefits and told them I am not supposed to pay this much ... they insisted ......... I called 2 days after requesting my images to be sent to a different provider so I can take another they didn't, and I had to call three times ...... please continue reading if you don't want to be scammed I made an appointment with Bright now with the same insurance and they took good care of me ... I had 3 root canals and 4 more crowns plus 4 fillings and the total cost with my insurance was 4000 dollars... imagine how those thieves at Sage rob people??? 1 root canal was costing me 1200 dollars and the crown costing me 900 dollars ... I did the same thing with the same insurance at Bright now for 190 dollars for the root canal and 350 for the crown ... plus 240 dollars lab fees and delivery which made the root canal and the crown all together 790 dollars This location is a downtown robbery ... think a thousand times before using Sage dental and a million times before using Sage downtown Orlando I will make sure to tell my story to every person I know to stop this scam read more

This is the most heartless staff of women working. Jada, extremely rude. Has been rude since day one. She needs to learn customer service skills. I wouldn't hire her to babysit a dead rabid dog. The other staff just as awful. They have this rule that only the patient can come into waiting room area. On hot days and cold days they will throw your family members out on the street to wait for you. So don't bring anyone to drive or help you get home after dental work. Here is another sad part. I saw people who would come there who were in extreme pain and they spoke Spanish out in the waiting room. Then I got called back into the back office to go to my chair to wait for my doctor but as we're walking back. The nurses are talking about the patients who are waiting at the front desk and how they weren't going to help them that day that they had to send them home because they were a walk in or they couldn't fit them in the schedule or they nurses/medical help felt the patient out front was lying. This happened several times, not just on one of my visits but several occasions just speaking about patients badly right in front of me. Please avoid this place. Avoid Jada she's a bitch and pretty much all these ladies are bitches. They are Just rude and are just a heartless staff. read more

If I could this office zero stars I would. They started by charging me a co-pay, even though I told them AND SHOWED THEM ON MY INSURANCE CARD that I have a zero co-pay. Next off was the explanation that today's cost would include a $127 "special cleaning". I explained that my cleanings are covered by my insurance. Their response: "we can't give you a regular cleaning; you'll have to pay for a "special cleaning", then in 30 days you'll be ready for a regular cleaning. I said no thank you, went to work and promptly called my insurance company who verified that I was not to pay a co-pay, amongst other things. DO NOT GO HERE. Read what others have said and heed their advice. Also, please call your insurance company and inquire about what they've billed. Very, very shady! read more

Terrible!!! Never go here or any of the sage dentals! They are thieves! They tried to charge me $300 and my insurance almost $4000 because they said I needed a "deep cleaning". I've never had any issues with my gums/teeth so I was very skeptical of their diagnosis. I ended up leaving and going to my mother's dentist for him to tell me my teeth are perfectly fine and I did NOT need a deep cleaning. Sage dentals are money grabbers with no respect for people. On top of that they take 20 plus x-rays of you which seemed completely unnecessary considering I've already had braces and my wisdom teeth removed. I've never been to an office where they take more than 3 x-rays. Very unhealthy. They just want your money and if you have insurance be careful!!!! Never going there again! read more

RUN, DON'T WALK! Beware of the Sage Dental office on Central Blvd. in downtown Orlando! They have not demonstrated ethics when dealing with my elderly parents and have taken advantage of their elderly situation. My parents moved near the downtown Orlando office on Central Blvd. in February of 2024 and were excited to find a dental office so close to where they lived. In the spring of 2024, it was determined by Sage Dental that my father needed dentures. So my father's teeth were all pulled on 6-20-24 and he was given temporary dentures until his gums healed, and a mold could be taken for permanent dentures. We should've known this would not end well when he was taken back out to the waiting room after the teeth were pulled with blood running down his chin onto his shirt and sent home with minimal post-surgical instructions. No gauze was used to help with the bleeding, either. Unfortunately, my elderly parents continued to see Sage Dental attempting to complete the process of receiving permanent dentures since they had already paid for them and trying to have confidence in Sage's care. After using the temporary dentures for 6 months, my father was scheduled on 1-7-25 to receive his permanent dentures. On that date, the dentist was having difficulty fitting the new permanent ones and came to discover by the dentist's own admission that they were trying to fit SOMEONE ELSE'S TEETH in my father's mouth! So, my father came back home again with the temporary ones. Not knowing where my father's new dentures were, new appointments had to be made to create another mold for another set of permanent dentures. Before the final appointment to get the new permanent dentures, my father fell, went to the hospital, spent time at a physical rehab facility, eventually was in a hospice unit, and passed. While suffering, my father got to the point where the temporary dentures could not be used, and he stopped being able to eat. He passed away on April 14, 2025. My mother contacted Sage Dental about the situation on numerous occasions both before and after he passed away and was consistently given the run-around. She was often told the person who needed to address the situation, Tami, was out and messages were rarely returned. While grieving, my mother spent time on hold trying to contact the office (for 45 minutes once) and made visits to the office, just to never get the situation resolved. After a long-awaited conversation with Tami, my mother was told she could get a $1,700 refund back to her credit card. Only $1700!!!! After paying over $6,000 and never receiving the permanent dentures. AND THAT HAS YET TO HAPPEN! So...RUN, DON'T WALK AWAY FROM THIS PRACTICE! If anyone has any advice on how to deal with this situation, it would be appreciated. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! I went for x-rays and a standard cleaning. They did the x-rays and then told me that they didn't have a hygienist in the office to clean my teeth. They then presented me with an enormous estimate for cleaning my teeth that included some sort of anesthesia to clean my teeth??? Varnish and rinses that I've never needed or wanted and a whole host of other "services" that brought my $20 co-pay to $800. It was like going to the dealership for an oil change and walking out with an $2500 estimate for "necessary" work that you don't need. Don't let them hustle you - that's how they open up hundreds of offices all over the place and stay in business. read more

made a Yelp just to leave a review. I never leave reviews anywhere I go. This place tried scamming me out of $1000 for a procedure I never did. took me 4 months to get my money back on a fake service. Talk about HIPPA violation... read more

Save time and MONEY, and DO NOT go there. They wanted to overcharge me of $6,000. !!!!! I never write bad reviews, but this had to be written. Two weeks after getting fillings here, I got so much pain, so I came back, and had to get another consultation that costs $400, which I found in most places is free. I was told that I needed to clean two root canals, and that would cost me, wait for it, 7k!!!!! 7 freaking thousand dollars. So I went to another dentistry, where I got free consultation and was told I only needed to clean one root canal, not two. And it would only cost me 1 thousand. 6 thousand difference. Please, please don't come here. Also, in comparison, Sage dental said if you don't pay first, we can't help you, and another place told me since you're in pain, first, we will help you and then talk about money. read more

I wish i could give zero stars. i had an appointment scheduled with the periodontist that comes in. i get there and they don't have me on the schedule EVEN THOUGH i had an email saying my appointment date and time. i just really can't understand. i used to go to a different sage and hated it and this reminded me why i stopped going there. now to figure out a new periodontist....thanks a lot downtown sage!! read more

Unfortunately, all the negative reviews about this place are true. They are not upfront about billing or the multiple appointments you will "need" just for basic cleaning care. They will make you schedule three separate appointments to just get a cleaning- which is UNHEARD OF but this is their way of getting more money out of you. What worried me the most was how dirty and unhygienic they were. I ended up walking out. Don't let them bully you into extra dental work or staying if you don't feel comfortable. If something feels wrong it's because it probably is. read more

I had two impacted wisdom teeth removed from Sage Dental back in December. The oral surgeon was very nice but he's the only one. The representatives behind the desk were very rude with nasty attitudes. They kept charging me an office visit even though my insurance didn't call for one. They actually argued with me in front of the other customers regarding charging me the office visit. I've tried to call and schedule an appointment with them as my socket are infected again but they have me leave my number for a call back that never happened ( this happened twice ). I've now waited 7 days with an oral infection without them reaching out to me. Once I called them back I had to debate with the representative to get an appointment. She also took my number which no one has called me back. I would not recommend Sage Dental in Lake Mary, Winter Park or downtown Orlando. They have the worst Customer Service I've ever experienced and no regard for my emergence health concern. read more

I went in for a regular cleaning that I perform annually and they wanted me to pay them $1,048.00. They were charging me for their line item D4341 for $395.00. I went on https://www.fairhealthconsumer.org/dental/category and typed in the line code with their zip code and got an amount of $354.00 for out of network. Their D4921 line item for out of network expense for $140.00 was also grossly overstated. The correct number as per the fair health consumer website said it was on average $44.00. I called to inquire but they gave me a runaround answer when I showed them I got the information from a government website stating otherwise. They are very dishonest and I recommend everyone use the website for the fair health consumer to hold these people accountable for their overbilling practices. read more

Sage Dental downtown is one of the most unprofessional Dental establishments I've ever visited. The way they treat patrons using Covid policy as a weapon to have you stand outside is outrageous. There are many business who have embraced Covid as a reason to be unprofessional, perform poorly and without vital tools to comfort their patrons. The dental office has two chairs inside. Two! If you're early for your appointment as requested, your punishment is standing outside until services are ready for you to come to the back! The two chairs in the lobby clearly is not what's depicted in their pictures they provide. Once checked in, you're asked to leave the facility and wait outside. Elderly people, people with mobility issues don't matter. 90-100 degree weather, doesn't matter. Rain, no problem. They do not provide chairs, water to help you suffer through the heat or anything. Management, very insensitive, arrogant and displeasing to common sense. There are at least 4 elderly patients standing outside right now. I offered for my mother to sent in the truck and they text her when she's ready to go back so the man that was already sitting, who she just asked to leave can stay inside and remain seated. If caused a big fight, the manager seemed to be ready to spar with me no matter what. She didn't understand I was requesting the man keep his seat, he was already there! We could have easily sat in the truck burning up gas in front of the building because I was lucky and found a parking right in front! Do not come here if you plan on offering support to a patient or helping them understand their treatment or financial responsibilities. You are not welcome in the facility either no longer than it takes to say hello and goodbye. You must stand outside during treatment as well or sit in your vehicle. This part is understandable because there is limited space for serviced patrons much less you trying to be helpful. This is a first, I've never heard of such a thing. The manager is real arrogant and proud of her ability to kick you out with no support. She bullies her staff into the dirty work and swoops in like she has the final word and say. Be warned, this is not a good place for you if you are heat intolerant, elderly, mobility issues or would like to be treated with dignity and respect, you better run! read more

Sage Dental - Empty Lobby 2 chairs - General Dentistry Near Me - Orlando, Florida

As you can see the review for this office is 2 1/2. I think that's being generous. Do not use this dental company. I stopped using their services because I was treated like a number and not a patient. After the dentist was through working in my mouth he just got up and walked away. He never said anything to me. In the same time frame, the office manager quit ....that should tell you something. Randomly two years later I'm getting a bill for $154 when I left their office with a zero balance. I've called multiple people and they are not willing to do anything about it. I spoke to the Orlando office A couple of times & I spoke to corporate in Boca. Find another dentist. read more

So disappointing, took a few hours off work to go to my new patient appointment and supposedly they kept trying to call me (even though I had already called the office earlier about their 9 pages of forms) to cancel because the doctor wasn't there. Portal never worked, someone put the wrong area code for my phone number and no one bothered to email me even though they should have had that information as well. If this place is this much of a mess before you're even treated I'll have to pass. read more

This place is AWFUL. I was a patient for years. In the last year, they have cancelled and post poned my appointment 4 times. When I finally got in, there was a new dentist who immediately told me I needed thousands of dollars worth of dental work done. I thought this was very suspect, since I had been going to this location for years and they never mentioned any issues with my teeth. I felt pressured, so I agreed to schedule an appointment to get the work done. They made me put down a deposit of $384 just to "reserve the appointment"! I've never heard of paying in advance just to schedule an appointment. I went and got a second opinion from two other doctors the following day because this all felt off. Both of my second opinions told me that this dentist was LYING and trying to find something to bill for. I immediately called Sage and requested to cancel my appointment and please issue me a refund. IT HAS BEEN 35 DAYS, and still no refund has been issued to me. I have called 7 times, at least once a week, and the first responses were that the lady who does refunds is "out of town." Then in the last two weeks they claim that the refund is being "processed" and to check in a few days. I finally gave in today and reported it to my bank. This office has STOLEN almost $400 from me for an appointment I never had nor wanted. This place is a SCAM. Stay far away. read more

This is my 3rd visit to this office in less than a year. They over schedule and blame it on being short staffed. Today I waited almost 2 hours and finally had to leave without being seen. Dr. Allyson is very nice and Omar was great, but that doesn't cut it. The lady from the front desk was visually frustrated and the man in the next exam room was also complaining for being there 2+ hours for an exam. If this was an isolated incident I would understand but this is consistent with my number of appointments. People shouldn't have to take a day off work to go to the dentist. If you keep treating patients like this you all will be under staffed together, at the unemployment office. read more

Buyer beware!!! After paying the VIP fee for my daughter, who has no insurance, so she could get proper teeth cleaning, I was severely disappointed. They are only interested in getting you in the door then slam you with all these added very expensive services and refuse to clean your teeth unless you do them!!! She waited for an hour got a few X-rays and then was told she would need gum surgery, over 5,000 if you did entire mouth, remember when I said she had no insurance??? They refused to do anything more for her unless she agreed to do it, what kind of business is this? Heartless greedy and overall dishonest business practices, not enough can be said. read more

Over priced, charges for procedures that are not necessary. Pushy, sales oriented. Best bet is to stay away and go local. These chains are not good. They charges my husband 500$ for something he didn't need, they tried to do the same thing to me and I went elsewhere and they said I was completely fine, places like those are just looking to turn a profit. read more

Friendly staff and great service. Been a client for years and never had any issues. I do see the new push for upselling but have never been harassed after turning down the additional service. My favorite hygienist left to the curry ford office but the new hygienist is good too. To those who complain of pain, I can relate as someone who's dealt with less than perfect gums (I know, I gotta floss more!). I've never had a cavity but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt when they clean because those numbers they shout mean gum disease is invading your mouth and the larger the numbers the less your teeth are being held in place (4+ is not good). I got away for years with pain-free cleaning and they were not doing me any favors. The better you care for your gums, not just your teeth, the less pain. P.S. Those extra expensive cleanings (root scaling or root planing) are worse than any basic cleaning.... read more

It's a nice operation, but dealing with my insurance has been a n i g h t m a r e. You need a root canal! Fine. Good job. I got so fed up with them, I went to another dentist who found E-I-G-H-T cavities!! What the H*ell!? Walk don't run away from this joint. read more

My husband contacted their corporate office for an explanation and never received a response.
