Dr O'Neil and his staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. The shining Star was my hygienist Ivy. She was more knowledgeable and professional than any I have ever encountered. She gave me realistic time frames for my dental issues. But made it clear it was a journey we were going to take together! Let's face it, who likes to go to the dentist. Certainly not me. But I thank my lucky stars that I chose this dental office.

Please see my previous review of Jun 20, 2023. Dr. O'Neal recently completed an extensive dental…read morerevision involving the placement of 10 porcelain crowns on my upper teeth. The process involved three visits and could not have been more stress-free and comfortable. Although not done for cosmetic reasons, it mattered greatly to me that my appearance would not be changed and that the end result would preserve my original, natural smile. I could not be more pleased by the end result. I still have my unique smile without any suggestion of having had "anything done" except, perhaps, for an enhancement that has definitely restored a more youthful appearance. Thank you, Dr. O'Neal. You're truly an artist!

Then I got "fired" by the office manager for coming in to my appointment. At the time I was busy taking care of my parents so missed a text but did sign the paperwork virtually prior to coming and showed up on time for my appointment with no history of no-shows. I was told I didn't respond to the text message so they gave my appointment to someone else. They rescheduled me for Friday but had to cancel on me as the tech called out sick. They would text me about appointment times but by the time I text back after checking my schedule a couple hours later the appointment was already booked. I called to see if I could make a time work with my new work schedule and expressed (not yelled or was rude) my frustration over being in the office for my appointment and not being seen and having difficulty rescheduling. The office manager said "I'm not going over this with you again I'll email you your files and you can go some where else" I never received my records, an apology, an easy reschedule. I've never not paid or no-showed an appointment. And I truly love my dentist after having some anxiety finding one after a bad experience with oral surgery a few years ago. Now this is one of the best places that accepts my insurance and I'm unsure where to go for care & cosmetics. If you do schedule here make sure you text back 100% of the time asap & avoid the office manager.

I highly recommend Klein Dentistry if you're looking for a new dentist in St Pete!

I recently was in a large amount of pain from an infected jaw bone and dead molar. I went to Dr…read more Litano and he isolated not just the problem with that one tooth but with my entire mouth through 360 x-rays. He was very clear in explaining the problems with my jaws and teeth. I was very afraid to have the tooth removed, but because of his certainty and calmness I was able to put my health in his hands. I experienced no pain from the numbing procedure, which was surprising. The tooth extraction was not painful and was done quickly and very completely and thorough. In the same visit, he removed the toxic metal from the tooth next to the tooth that was removed, which has saved the life of that tooth. He also put in a ceramic implant where the tooth was removed, so I will have a full mouth of teeth. After doing that in the same visit, he cleaned out a cavitation in my bone So that that bone could regrow. All of this procedure was pain-free. This was a lot of work to be done at one time, and I was very surprised that there was almost no pain in the following days after the treatment. There was swelling and a bruise, but this went away very quickly using non-drug applications. I received vitamin treatment prior to the dental work and antibiotics which took away most of the horrible pain I was in before the dentist work was done. I have noticed a marked increase in energy after treatment. I am no longer sleeping all afternoon as I was before this dental work was done. I had no idea the amount of infection that was going on in my body as a result of the dead tooth and the cavitation. I highly recommend and urge anyone who has any attention on your teeth or anyone who has neglected care of your teeth to visit this clinic Natural Smiles of Tampa and Dr. Litano. All of his staff are very professional and very kind just as he is and very gentle. The facility is extremely clean and they are very cautious when removing the metals from your mouth so that they do not cause your body trouble or the environment harm. Their care extends beyond the mouth and in the body of the patient because their facility is very hygienic. Without this work being done, I would've continued to be very ill, and I would've had organs in my body get damaged as a result of the infection and my lifespan would have been greatly shortened. I am a 73 year old woman who's regular medical check ups and bloodwork were always perfect and the Drs always missed the underlying trapped infection in my head, my mouth, my jaw. I am so grateful to Dr. Litano for isolating the problems, and laying out a gradient program for handling all of these things. If you don't have a healthy body, your operating with a damaged vehicle that will eventually fall apart. You don't need to be afraid to face your dental problems with a doctor like Dr. Litano, what you should be afraid of is ignoring these things and putting them off. Your quality of life will be greatly improved if you visit this clinic.

My regular general dentist was not keeping up with some advanced care needs I developed, and…read morerecommended I find another provider with newer tooling and equipment. Natural Smiles office has the ability to make same day Essex retainers for pre-and post implant surgery, which was a major deciding factor. They also have 3-D laser scanners, and other high-tech tooling that set them apart from general dentists. If you can get everything you need from a general dentist that's always convenient but when you need "more" and further services in the world of dental cosmetics, I definitely would recommend Dr. Litano and his team at Natural Smiles. Not only did they create the treatment plan but also focused on important health factors like bone density and vitamin deficiencies before simply performing billable procedures. Certainly seems more of a science and art that I have experienced elsewhere. Thank you so much!

The…read moreexperience left me so nervous about dental work that I avoided getting it fixed again for far longer than I should have, despite it being cosmetically unappealing. From the moment I came to this office, the entire team made me feel comfortable and understood. They were patient, reassuring, and never made me feel rushed or judged for being anxious. They were thorough Without making me feel overwhelmed. When it finally came time to fix my tooth, I was honestly expecting the worst. Instead, the procedure was completely painless, smooth, and far less stressful than I ever imagined. For the first time since the original damage happened, I was able to get the problem resolved without pain and without the overwhelming anxiety I had carried for years. I'm incredibly grateful to have found Dr. Giddens & ALL of the hygienists (I've probably seen every single one over the last two years lol) who takes my anxiety seriously and creates such a calm, supportive environment. If you're someone who struggles with dental anxiety like I did, I truly can't recommend this office enough. And the outcome was AMAZING.

Kiersten (hygienist) was so gentle and tactful in her cleaning. She did an excellent job explaining what she was doing and what I could do to improve brushing/flossing techniques. Finally, Dr Tellios was amazing. His scientific approach to dentistry combined with active listening and attention to detail truly blew me away. I have never had a dentist provide such exceptional time and care. While most people dread going to the dentist (myself included), I actually had an enjoyable experience at Dr. Tellios' office. Thank you all!

I have always hated going to the dentist, out of fear. I have a terrible gag reflex, and every…read moreexperience I had previously, was not good. I called Creating Smiles Dentistry after being told by another dentist office that I had to have EIGHT TEETH pulled. You heard me, EIGHT. Including my wisdom teeth, TWELVE. I wanted a second opinion. They agreed that that sounded extreme and got me in very quickly. I was very apprehensive, and explained to them over the phone how worried I was about my gag reflex and if I'd even be able to follow through with the work that needed to be done. They re-assured me that they would do everything they could to work with me, and let me tell you, they sure did. I arrived for my first appointment, nervous and shaking. As soon as you walk in, they offer you bottled water, and ask if you need anything. Wow, how sweet! I then was called back into a pristine clean room where I met Dr. Phane and her team. From there, it's all history. They have many ways to help you, if you are like me and have a horrible gag reflex. They are patient, caring, kind, attentive, and genuine. This is a very family-oriented dental team, who cares about all of their patients more than I've ever seen before. Or even heard of. They would give me salt to help with the gag reflex, and do my X-Rays and impressions so fast that I didn't even realize they were done! It was so easy! Hi everyone, my name is Morgan and I have Glioblastoma Multiforme Stage IV Terminal Brain Cancer. All I wanted was a beautiful smile before I passed away. And Creating Smiles Dentistry made this happen and exceeded my expectations. My eyes are full of tears as I write this long awaited review. As you read this review, please keep in mind, that I did get veneers, but the dental care here that I received prior to, and after, is out of this world. If you're looking for a caring community dentist, this is the place for you. If you're looking to get your teeth cleaned, this is the place for you. Whatever you are looking for, I have no doubt that Creating Smiles Dentistry will be your last stop for looking, and you will find whatever you need, want, or could imagine, done here. I explained my concerns, wishes, and needs to Dr. Phane, who quickly created an entire plan for my ENTIRE mouth. Starting out, filling cavities, root canals if needed, all that "fun" stuff. Then, we got to the exciting part. She constructed a 3D Model, including gum re-construction, of what she had planned. When I saw it, I cried. I never thought I would have straight, beautiful teeth, and seeing her holding this beautiful 3D Model of what her plan was for me, was absolutely mind-blowing. I had what some would call a "snaggle tooth" that stuck way out, and I wanted it gone. She explained the importance of having that canine tooth, and why she did not want to pull it. Instead, she wanted to reconstruct it! And that's exactly what she did. I was very eager to get started with veneers, but she also explained the importance of having all of my teeth that needed to be filled, or crowned, or what not done first, otherwise, veneers would just be a mask, but not a solution to my dental problems at that time. Fast forward 3 months. Here I am, 3 months later, with tears streaming as I write this out of love, gratitude, shock, and utter amazement with a beautiful, pearly white straight-toothed smile. Dr. Phane along with Nam (The Porcelain Veneer Lab Genie), made the impossible, POSSIBLE. They gave me confidence that I never had. I would never smile in photos, or I'd cover up my mouth. I'd even cover it if I laughed. And now, I want the world to see my teeth! I want the world to see me smile, to see me laugh, and I can do that without feeling insecure. These people, EVERYONE, at Creating Smiles Dentistry care. You aren't "just another patient" to them. They take the time you need, make accommodations for you, reschedule you if you cannot come in, and work with you in full. They make sure that you're comfort level, and what you are looking for, is taken care of with ease and patience. They really do care. More than any dentist office I have ever walked into. This place, and these people deserve a rating that is off the charts. 5 stars does not do them justice. If you want a beautiful smile, to feel confident again, and to feel listened to, and heard with outstanding results, then you have found the perfect dentist, right here at Creating Smiles Dentistry. Thank you beyond words to all of the wonderful staff, but mostly to Dr. Phane who made my dying wish, possible.
