Hi everyone - I had a lot of bad experiences with dentists when I was a kid. I had braces in the 70's and many extractions that went with it. So after my braces came off I never followed up with regular care. My parents both lost their teeth in their mid 50's. When I noticed the same kind of detrimental changes in myself, I still avoided the dentist. And things got worse. I've known Dr. Provenzale since High School. In fact, we went to the same College as well. I remember him working after school and summers in his Dad's dental office, doing lab work. If anyone was born to providing dental care, it might be him. Finally, after losing many teeth, I could take it no more and I made an appointment with Dr. P, whom I hadn't seen in many years. We came to a treatment plan for extraction of the dozen or so teeth I had remaining, and dental implants. Dr. P helped me work through my extreme dental anxiety, and at all times I felt like I was in talented and compassionate hands. His whole office is full of cheery dental professionals who made me feel better. The surgeries were not easy, and the process took almost a year with the healing and bone integration of the implants, but the result is well worth it. I have beautiful rock solid teeth, whiter and straighter than I ever had naturally. And most importantly to me, I don't have to deal with the depressing chore of removable teeth. At all times though, I was confident that Dr. P was at the helm and in charge. Being awake during the surgery, of course, I was never anxious or worried. Rather quickly I was able to put my anxiety aside and look forward with Dr. P to the eventual result, which I'm now enjoying! I am more proud of my teeth now than at any time since my braces were fresh off at 16. Dr. Provenzale is leader in the field of implant dentistry and is the President Elect of the national professional organization. I would recommend him without reservation.

Had a great nighttime snook/ redfish fishing experience on the Chews Only. Captain Austin truly cares about his clients and it tells in his work. We marked snook and redfish and we got on them big time. Truly was a 10/10 experience and by far one of the cleanest boats i’ve ever been on. Definitely going to make another visit down here just to fish with Austin.

I just had two implants completed by Dr. Provenzale. It was a wonderful experience compared to previous experiences i have had. Dr. Provenzale is board certified, well educated, very professional and so courteous! His staff is also well trained and just as courteous as he is. I had experiences with periodontist doing implants and I did a lot of research to find Dr. P. and can say it was well worth it! I would recommend Dr. Provenzale for general dentistry but especially for implant surgery.
