Dentists in Oldsmar

“I had a disappointing experience in another office and ended up having to see a specialist to resolve the issue. I needed a general dentist to help me complete the treatment plan I had initially started in the other office,so I came in as an emergency after seeing the oral surgeon. Everyone in the office was very caring and helpful. Dr. Pan and his brother sat down with me and discussed what I should do going forward and were very kind and informative. I look forward to being a patient in this office and feel very comfortable trusting them to finish what was started. Thanks for seeing me on such short notice and taking me on as a new patient.“

“Dr. “Joe” Riad is the best dentist I’ve ever been to in my long life – and I’ve had many dentists before. He is superbly skilled in all aspects of dentistry. He also clearly and in a friendly manner explains everything that he recommends be done and in what sequence and why – leaving the final decision to me of course. But I’m not a dentist, and upon quick reflection, Dr Joe was right.I was referred to Dr. Joe by another branch on December 4, 2023 after I said that I wanted to get some dental work (I need a lot) done before the end of 2023, when my dental insurance benefits would not roll over into 2024. By the time I drove to Dr Joe’s office at about 1pm, everyone there was expecting me, knew the situation and had seen my x-rays and original treatment plan. I was greeted most warmly by Mr. Petros at the front desk who told me that Dr. Joe and his team were ready to work on me, and escorted me to the pre-op room.There I met Dr Joe for the first time. I said what I had been thinking about on where to start, and he said that of course he would start as I wanted, but suggested a better sequence for my health would be to start by fixing my worn-down or missing molars – since 90% of one’s chewing is done with the molars, and well chewed food gives the best nutrition. And I could enjoy eating a big steak again. I immediately agreed fixing the molars first was more important than doing my front teeth for a good smile.Within 15 minutes I was in the dental chair with Dr Joe and his main Tech that day, Brittany, who was always ready for whatever Dr. Joe needed – so well-choreographed, so in step with each other.I was in the dental chair until 5:30 pm, by which time Dr. Joe had finished prepping three of my left lower molars for setting permanent crowns on them before the end of 2023, and fit and placed a temporary crown on them. I agreed to his suggestion that I go ahead and have a broken left upper molar extracted right then, with a bone/tissue graft placed to regrow my jawbone there, so that in 2024 (with fresh dental coverage) I would be ready to have a bridge of two crowns and a pontic placed on my upper left molars. Set for life knowing that I’d always be able to chew my food properly and able to enjoy eating anything again. I’ll get around to crowning my front, show/smile teeth, soon enough.I also have to thank Alexis, a Tech and assistant office manager there, who went ahead (after I asked from the dental chair) if there was dental work financing available and she told me of a zero-interest rate plan (if paid off within 12-months). I said that sounded good, and Alexis went off and got that financing plan approved and activated, all while I was in the dental chair being prepped for crowns.Dr. “Joe” Riad – He’s the Real Thing. A Grandmaster of the dentistry arts and a most skillful communicator with his patients, friendly, polite, and professional in getting you started on the best treatment plan for whatever your dental needs are at that point in time. And Dr. Joe can and will do it all, any of your needed dental work/art, himself and with one of his superb dental Techs, and do it right.“

“I had my cleaning with Shannon today. Also the fluoride treatment. Very personable and did a great job. I’ll definitely be back in August.“

“The staff of Bay Arbor Dental Care are the best people. Dr Melissa Jones is the kindest, gentlest, and most knowledgeable dentist. Kim and Lilly are 2 of her hygienists and are just as good as Dr Jones is. The office staff are also superior. I highly recommend this practice . Good parking. So clean and all CDC regulations followed.“

“Tasha the dental hygienist has been a blessing to work with. Her explanations and knowledge have been so amazing. She took the time to explain all of the questions I had regarding my dental health and steps I needed moving forward. She is deserving of 10 stars for how amazing she has been“
