"Had dental work done here last year would highly recomend. From the first visit to go over my treatment and how surgery would go and what steps had to be taken before surgery. To the after surgery care i have gotten has been the best. Alexa, Chelsie, Gwen, and Dr. Tepedino answered all my questions and made sure i knew every step of the way through my treatment. Highly recomend for all your dental needs."

"I am a patient of Dr Tepedino, I started this journey for full implants June 2, 2025 I am now at the end of the process and it is only August. They have treated me so respectfully and with such sincerity I could not have ever asked for a better place to have had this done. The staff has been amazing and caring and so patient. I thank God everyday that I had insurance that covered this procedure as I truly needed it badly. I am more grateful for the place I chose to have this procedure. I live in the west coast of Florida, and I drive to the east coast to Jacksonville. I would do it again. If you are looking into this procedure check them out, you will not regret your decision, no matter how far you have to come they are worth it. Thank you to Dr Tepedino and your great staff for giving me a smile and confidence to talk in public again. But most of all to enjoy dinners with my husband again. Thank you. 😌"

"And excellent experience from beginning to current! From day one, everyone was friendly, informative and made me completely comfortable. They made the process painless. Delt with my insurance and was quick to have the procedure scheduled once my insurance approved. All my questions were answered quickly. I would go thru it all again to have a beautiful pain free smile! 10/10 recommended!"

"I started this journey February 2025 when I realize that my acid reflux had destroyed my teeth and there was actually a dentist who could help! From the moment I walked into the door, I was treated like a long lost friend! From surgery to my final appointment I was always reassured and made to feel absolutely prepared and cared about, Dr. Tepedino took my attitude like a champ and was amazing throughout the whole process! My smile is absolutely beautiful! And I can genuinely say this company and the entire staff are angels on earth! Alexa you are a beautiful soul inside and out!"

"Very compassionate to your needs. Very satisfied of the work done by Dr. Tepedino and his staff"

- David V.

"What an experience! I have spent many years with teethless smiles in photos. And those days are actually gone. I have had to calm down a bit with over-smiling, if that is even a real thing. My teeth look great I just want to smile all the time. The aesthetics of the whole procedure is wonderful to look at but the shear improvement of my oral health is an entirely different story. I came into the procedure with twelve missing teeth due to infections caused by my type 2 diabetes. After all these years with the type 2 I finally have control of it. The team at the center removed all the infections and my mouth began to heal dramatically. Thank you Dr. Tepedino for the artistic creation and giving me a confident and healthy smile! The girls, Chelsea and Alexa you are absolutely amazing. Honestly I feel like I left friends behind when my procedure was over. I loved the friendliness so much I will be driving two hours every time for my routine cleanings just to stop in to say hi."
