Dr. Sheikh has been our dentist for about eight years. He is a compassionate person and the best dentist I have ever been to. The staff is second to none, professional and caring as well... You won't find a better dental office anywhere, worthy of the ten star rating I'm giving them! Also, as I read through some of the negative comments, I had to just smh. The one that was absurd to me was the veteran who said this facility don't like veterans- NOT true, I'm a veteran and they have always treated me kindly!! Just because this establishment don't take your particular type of insurance don't mean they don't like veterans, it means that they just can't accept that particular insurance- be grateful you have dental insurance and move on. read more

As a VA 100 percent veteran I was their patient for a year. The do not want to serve veterans. They held my care for over 7 months saying VA is not approving their plan. But the never contacted the VA about my care. But yes their were good removing two of my molar's and never got fix not the broken crown when I went in as an emergency. They are not really for veterans. Oh they don't veterans any more I find out today after waiting for over 9 months. Thanks a veteran you are Free... read more

Please do your research. This place just screams mediocrity at best. The woman who "cleaned" my teeth took about 10 minutes. And I felt absolutely nothing. I'ts always taken at least 30-45 minutes to clean my teeth. Don't get me started on the dentist who's beard is popping out of his mask. Gross. I'll never go back. read more

Legitimately the slowest service I've ever seen at a dental office. Don't come here unless you have ALL DAY to wait, and definitely don't come here early in hopes of getting seen sooner- because you'll be waiting several hours past your appointment time. I think they need a strong reminder that they work for patients, patients do not work for them. read more

Great experience again. Crystal and Allison give you a great welcome in and get you setup promptly. Came in for a deep cleaning and Savannah took care of me . She was extremely nice but more importantly,incredible at her craft. Nothing but positive things to say about entire team at Brandon Smiles!!!! read more

The work was ok, but they made sure to get full payment out of me first and then they were going to submit the required Endo Prognosis, full xray, Perio Chart to my insurance. Well it's been over a year and they have sent none of of the required evidence even after I have asked several times. My insurance denies the claim because Dr. Mateen's office won't send over the required information. This is simple record keeping that they don't care to do because they already got their payment. read more

Brandon Smiles - 3rd denial because this dentist refuses to send in information - General Dentistry Near Me - Brandon, Florida

I have been going to Brandon Smiles since 2015. To say they are the most kind and gentle dentists I have ever been to, would be a massive understatement. It is OBVIOUS that they truly care about you and your dental health. Dr. Sheik is gentle warm and knowledgeable. They will work with you on all aspects to ensure you get the care you need - and even have payment plans to meet most budgets. I highly recommend them. read more

Thank God.for honest reviews and people kind enough to write their experiences. I was sitting in parking lot over 45 minutes, DISPICABLE Is mine and your time not important??? I read raving fake.reviews and.thats why I came here. I decided to do more.research while waiting and found legitimate bad reviews. Shame shame Brandon Smiles Going elsewhere. Thanks for sharing reviews. It helps others read more

I didn't dental have insurance so cost consideration was was my top priority. I had a front tooth filling break of my tooth. I called during lunch to see if they could at least see me. They ended up working on two of my teeth within 3 hours of the phone inquiry, consultation, and completion. Staff was extremely knowledgeable and polite. Offered different payment options as well as different options to have my teeth fixed. I will definitely be going back. read more

I would recommend them to anyone!!!! Who is insecure about their smile. I had a dental bridge done July 3, 2019, I only have my temporary teeth in and I can only imagine what my final results will look like. I'm very pleased with the work that was done pain level 0 read more

Brandon Smiles - Dental bridge wonderful quality work - General Dentistry Near Me - Brandon, Florida

I had moved down here very suddenly to take care of my and almost immediately started having tooth pain. I found Brandon Smiles on Google and decided to call them. they worked with me on the price of a crown and if they had not worked with me, I'd be in a lot of trouble and most likely be unable to afford one. Dr. Sheikh is incredibly professional, as are all the dental assistants and the front desk ladies. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Brandon Smiles. read more

My partner went to this clinic a couple weeks ago to get his bridge re-cemented. A little history about his bridge - he got it made at a different country April 2021. It has never moved or got loose until September 2022. We went to this clinic since it was one of the few that are open on Saturdays and since they were backed up, the earliest appointment we got was October 1st. Now, we paid this procedure out of pocket and it was a whopping $250+ for adding a minimal cement on the bridge. We even drove 50 mins to the clinic to get it done. A couple weeks later and my partner calls me from work saying the bridge fell off again! He stopped using the bridge for chewing after we got it reattached and he avoided flossing that area too, so there was no way it was because of something he did! So I immediately called the clinic and they kept telling me "there's no guarantee" over and over again. Yeah, I understand they told my partner about this during his procedure, but it could at least have taken several months rather than just a couple weeks! I'm just asking for them to take just a bit of liability over the work they did and they just tell me they will basically charge us in full again if we ask them to reattach it! I mean, it could be a quality issue or they didn't put enough cement to keep it in place? They kept on suggesting that we have the bridge re-made and blamed the quality issue to the one we had before. I was swept by the good reviews this place was getting but I guess we'll never come back there again, and definitely won't recommend it to anyone. read more

Edit: 7/2021- After over a year and some serious turnover at the office, my dental procedures still aren't done. We got to a point where they tried to alter my plan due to my teeth getting worse. After that visit, I never heard from them again. They will not take my calls or texts and hide behind the new receptionist while I'm on the phone. I have paid off my full balance but still have yet to speak to anyone because they won't return a call nor will they take my calls. I'm asking to be refunded the money I paid for procedures not done. I still have temporary dentures a year and a half later. I have fillings that still need to be done as well as caps. I really can't understand why they won't communicate with me about this but I will never go back to them. At this point even if they tried to make things right, I wouldn't go back to them on principle. I feel like they have stolen from me and that I'm going to have to see about taking them to court to recover my money. I satisfied my end of our agreement and they have just blown me off. Do not lose your money at this place. The dentist makes you feel like you're a bad person for having bad teeth. I came to you for that reason, what would he expect?! I'm seriously floored. I just want my money back and to go somewhere else. read more

Do your research on all local dentist office before you make an appointment. This place has a freindly staff however, prices for procedures are exspensive. They wanted to charge me $3500 dollars for a single bridge when honest places only charge $1350 read more

I don't like to leave bad reviews because I try to give everyone a chance to make things right first...I went here from a referral and was originally given an estimate for $12,000 for 10 crowns, 5 fillings, scaling teeth and nightguard as I don'thaveinsuranceand was paying cash (which was paid in full). Got to the second crown and it fell out a total of 4 times in 2 days, was put in backwards one of those times, and was out of town on family emergency when it fell out the 4th time and could only be back home Fri-Sun (which they don't work on Friday and no ER service offered) so when I finally could get ahold of someone I was told to use Fixodent?!?!? Needless to say I went 2 1/2 weeks missing the tooth, unable to eat and had to drink thru a straw to avoid pain. Due to current situation I had to cancel my treatment plan and ask for my remaining balance be refunded. Am being charged over $5000 for what was done...2 crowns, 4 fillings and the scaling!! When questioned, I was told I would not receive "the discount" that was given so I paid over $1500 per crown, over $300 per filling and over $1000 for the scaling!!! I complained about this as the contract states discounts will not apply if treatment is cancelled but that is after for HMO, Medicare and VA which I am none of and was told someone would be calling me to discuss and try to work something out and I would have my refund on Friday...actually told her I wouldn'tleave this review or take any other steps if resolved..still waiting so here it is. I have since called around and this seems like excessive pricing so I guess my next steps will have to be filing complaints to the BBB and State Board of Dentistry to look into and court if I don't get my money back today. Take my advice...shop around as there are more competent, more reasonably priced dentists in the area that DO work on Fridays or can help you after hours in case of emergency. Getting ahold of these people or your money back is literally like pulling teeth!!! ****UPDATE: Called once again Monday almost noon, was given many excuses and needed my card number to refund me...I was there Thurs and nothing was said...how long would it have been to get my money back if I didn't call?!?!?! But they don't have a problem overcharging or taking your money!!! PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE AND FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! read more

I had 4 root canals and crowns done lost 2 of them in the first year now am losing the 2nd 2 .That is a lot of money to throw in the trash Dr Sheikh could not give me any reason why I was getting my teeth cleaned at least 2 times a year by Tracy. My wife had a root canal and crown done also she is going to loose that tooth will not be going back there should be something that can be done to recovery the loss but as usual to bad so sad. read more

So after seeing their $59 special on a web search, which caught my eye, I checked in on YELP to see what others were saying. I noticed mixed reviews, and figured as like anything else, I'd have to go see for myself. I called and made an appointment to see Dr. Shiekh for a second opinion after seeing my regular dental practice. I arrived early and was seen right away. Yes, the office isn't the new fancy place I'm used to, but it was clean, the equipment works, and the staff is friendly. I brought my care plan from my dentist, and they did a second opinion for free. They did their own x-rays, and another exam, and unlike my current dentist (an associate dentist of the popular sedation guy in New Port Richey and TNC), I was impressed with Dr. Shiekh. Dr. Shiekh checked my blood pressure, asked a lot of questions, and asked me multiple times if I had any questions. Next I spoke with Adrianna, who does the financial side of things. They didn't take my insurance, but still gave me a huge 20% discount off of my treatment plan. I called back after thinking about it all weekend, and made an appointment to come back. Adrianna went over a few options for payments, and went over everything with me in detail. I then received a call from Dr. Shiekh a few days later letting me know he spoke to my cardiologist, and to go over a few pre op things with me. Once again, he asked me many times if I had any questions, and made sure I understood everything going on. I arrived for my appointment yesterday a little bit early, and they took me back on time. As a lot of dental offices, things pop up, and they had some equipment issues early in the morning, and they were running a few minutes behind. Dr. Shiekh once again checked my blood pressure, went over everything with me, and asked if I had any questions. You can tell that your safety and comfort is top priority with Dr. Shiekh, and he doesn't do anything until you fully understand what's going to happen and why. During the procedure to extract my top teeth for upper dentures, Dr. Shiekh paused to check on me every two minutes, and to ask if I was okay. Every so often he'd ask if I wanted to stop for the day, or did I want to continue. Dr. Shiekh makes sure to keep your comfort and safety high priority throughout the whole procedure. I always have Rachael or Jordan ask my dental assistants, and they are both extremely nice, make sure you're comfortable, and answer questions, while smiling and setting everything up. These two, along with Adrianna, and Dr. Shiekh made the whole experience a positive one. On my way out, I was given a few Rx's for pain meds and antibiotics, and verbal instructions, along with an appointment for Monday morning for a check up after the weekend. The one complaint I have, is that it would be nice to have printed after care instructions, as there were a few things to remember, and after going through a very traumatic procedure, I hope I can remember it all. One less very minor con, is this is the first dentist not to send you home with a tooth brush and floss, but I have those at home...LOL Overall, I am extremely pleased with Dr. Shiekh, his staff, and the facility. I waited until my third visit, which I actually had a procedure done to finally post a review. I will update as I go, and if you live in Pasco County like I do, rest assured, this man is worth the drive. Time to go eat some ice cream, I'm on soft foods for a while ;-) read more

Went in for an evaluation of my wisdom tooth. I went here for their advertisement for $59 for X-ray, consulting, and a cleaning. They were nice and they took an X-ray and consulted me but they didn't do the cleaning! So their advertisements are not up to date. I suggest looking else where for your dental needs. read more

See all

Great costumer service. Always try their best to provide most efficient service. Office manager excellent at providing all information and explaining all cost and schedule work to our best convenient. Dr. Mateen Sheikh is knowledgeable, caring and friendly in a professional way. I recommend them. read more

Waited almost 2 hours before being called to the back. Office staff didn't let me know they were not going to be able to do the procedure til 3 hours later. In summary, I waited 5 hours for X-rays they refused to send to another office. Yes, if you go here they will not transfer your records for you, you have to pick them up in person (highly inconvenient). So happy I returned back to my regular place in temple terrace.. read more

My wife has been going to this office for 4-5 years but I never would due to their pricing and financial policies. Dr Sheik is a highly skilled dentist but the way that they practice is horrible. He is the only dentist in the office and at the last visit he was seeing 5 patients at once, which is common at this place. Going from chair to chair and never spending more than a few min. with my wife before leaving, passing her off to a tech and when they couldn't get it right returned for a couple of min. then off again. This appt. was made in advance and she was supposed to get 30 min. for an adjustment to a denture that we had them make. You see they make you pay 100% in advance and they got our money long ago so they have no incentive to get it right now. So what she got was a rush job, then out the door. What she has now is very rough unfinished smells and tastes horrible from the product that they used, and I'll need to polish it smooth myself. Hardly worth the $1100 I had to pay for in advance which was my mistake. Put simple, they got their money so they no longer care. So beware having this type of work done here. Once you pay, good luck having them make it right. She had them do this work based on previous care that she had Dr. Sheik do but we are regretting it now. read more

I was going to have implants and crowns and extractions, all adding up to over $13000.00! They said I do not qualify for partials, I have to do the implant. I planned on going ahead with it until a week before the procedure when they finally explained the process. I was overwhelmed and nervous, and after discussing with my husband, I decided to get a second opinion. I did tell them, and agreed to go ahead with the crowns while I decide on what to do. After taking several days off, and readjusting my entire schedule, I showed up to my appointment to find the door locked, with no-one inside! I immediately called them, and they did answer, claiming that they closed for the tropical storm and that they called me the day before. I assured them that I did not receive a phone call, and after a short argument about it, I just told them to refund my money, I will go somewhere else. They called me the next day apologizing saying that they thought they called everyone but some people got missed. They said they will process the refund to my card. This was July 8th. After patiently waiting, and still not seeing the refund, I decided to follow up with them around 7/20, they assured me that they processed the refund on the 19th. Of July. I just got off the phone with my credit card company, there has never be a refund requested! 42 days later!!! Are you kidding me? I am so upset right now. They took my $13,199.00. Now the credit card company says I have to wait another 45 days. I have been experiencing tooth pain for months and will have to stay like this for another 45 days because they are either too incompetent or untrustworthy. Oh and by the way, my second opinion has no idea why they said I didn't qualify for the partials. But I do. Partials are 1/4 of the price of implants! read more

They are a rip off, they told me I had several cavities and all I was hearing was $$$$$, I went to another dentist x2 they told me I didn't have any cavities, there was nothing wrong with my teeth.Then they told me that I had to come back another day for my cleaning, very inconvenient when you work 8-5 , I've always had my dental exam and teeth cleaning done the same day, this was a first for me to hear I have to come back, once again trying to get every drop of insurance money read more

THE BEST OF THE BEST,they literally make you feel like family and take such good care of you they completely restored my smile ,it allowed me to gain my life and confidence back,im so grateful !!! read more

Everyone here is genuinely nice and great at what they do. :) I was baffled because there were a dozen hidden reviews for this place here on Yelp and I read them and they weren't good Yet there were good reviews on google. So I looked at the profiles on yelp of the people that wrote the bad reviews and they aren't real reviews at all. These people have no other reviews and /or friends and for some reason have a grudge against this establishment or someone there. Everyone was great, from the secretary's ,to the hygienists and both dentists I dealt with. The D.D.S. That did my root canal today was T.Crawford D.D.S. He is a sweetheart of a human being who has a great sense of humor and makes you feel at complete ease. My root canal literally took fifteen minutes. seriously, and it was painless The fist dentist I met was Dr.Sheikh and he has an amazing beard! and also a very nice person who was very candid and honest about what I have to do to my teeth. The greatest thing is that no one person in there made me feel embarrassed to be there or talk about what I have to do to have a healthy mouth and that's super important to me. I feel very lucky to have met such an amazing staff of people. we were all joking around by the time I left and it was fun. Another cool thing is that they take payments and no one really does that. I mean seriously, I don't know how low income people afford dentistry because insurance is horrible and doesn't do much and who has thousands on hand? I wish them all happiness and a brilliant new year and all the business they can handle. For the record, This review is real, I never met them before today but they took care of me very well. -Ken read more

Horrible staff. Procrastinating, rude and unhelpful staff. Customer service is really lacking in this office, and it's sad since it has never been like this in the past. Asked to speak with the Office Manager, and placed on hold for 20 min. Called back and every time I call the phone is answered and immediately placed on hold. How can this be demonstrating good business practices? Disappointing read more

they're always nice to me and helpful with whatever questions I have :) this is the first time in a long time that I actually look forward to going to the dentist! read more

Went there for an initial review and that went well. The staff was nice but the wait for long and my appointment was late. The office happened to not be a part of my network so after I already paid for the x Rays in my initial visit, I was forced to pay again to obtain a copy of those x Rays to take them to a dentist within my network. I have been in multiple offices and I was never charged for a copy of x rays I have already paid for. The staff may be nice but this seems to be an office who will try to take every penny they can from you. read more

Bethsaida V. of Brandon Smiles, don't you think I've already tried to contact your office BACK IN 2010??? Don't you think it is a little TOO LATE to contact me and try to resolve the issues I had more than 2 years ago. My comment was in October of 2010 and you responded January of 2013 trying to resolve the issues, REALLY??? read more

Went to get a tooth extraction was in a lot of pain. After waiting and waiting they advised me that i needed a complete set of dentures. Then they told me it would be 6000 dollars I told them I just wanted the tooth taken out I refused to sign a contract and left in pain. Don't let this happen to you. Terrible,Terrible and shame on them. read more

You have been warned --stay away from these people.If I could give lower I would. I put my issue on here in December last year and got a very bland and standard response from Brandon Smiles .... "please contact us...etc etc". This made me LOL. I only shared my horrific experience here in a review after numerous calls; at least 8 over a few weeks. I have also made appointments to supposedly get this sorted and i'm left sitting there for over an hour, strange as i was the first appointment of the day so no excuses of a back log or an emergency to slow them down!!!!! And finally i had not other option but Reviews as i had been hung up on three times by the Brandon Smiles team after complaining and refusing to be shuttled off the phone with no real explanation, no refund and no services. Strangely the offer to "sort this issue" from Brandon Smiles is a joke, laughable for its insincerity . read more

They ripped me off $4,000 dollars and the partial they gave me fell apart within 2 weeks. Now, I need an additional $18,000 of work because they pulled and broke teeth that was needed, they gave me a life guarantee, went back and show them the estimates and now they are not honoring their work and the dentist that did all this damaged wasn't licensed. Stay away from them.....SCAM read more

I was genuinely impressed with this entire establishment! I was able to walk-in to be seen for a broken crown. They didn't preform the original work but they were more than happy to help. I was a walk-in on a Friday so there was a bit of a wait but considering the other factors I didn't mind. The entire staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The exam was paid upfront and there were no hidden costs or charges. I was told of the extensive work that would need to be done, but surprisingly thier suggestions were much less aggressive than the dentist that put the original crown (that really looked unnatural). I was offered Care Credit to pay for the entire procedure(s), approved in minutes and they got started about a half hour later. The Dentist was professional and actually pretty "gentle". The Dental Assistant Sara that created my temporary crown at Brandon Smiles was exceptional! I've NEVER had such a great experience at the dentist. I'm actually excited to get the rest of the work done over the next few weeks. I would recommend Brandon Smiles to every single person I know - friends and family!! read more

very clean office and good service the Dr is really nice and she helps out with some discounts her work is clean and nice the prices are good too. read more

I've never heard of a dentist where you had to pay in advance for dental services! It seemed very weird to me. After getting X-rays and examined by the dentist, I was sent to talk to the finance person...it felt just like it does when you buy a car...quite a sales pitch. They also didn't want to clean my teeth until all of the (expensive) work was completed. The dentist and the tech who took the X-rays were very nice but something just seemed fishy about having to pay for dental work up front, weeks before it was scheduled to be done. I was going to pay with cash or cc too, not the financing. The prices they quoted also seemed high. I would strongly recommend getting a second opinion before getting any dental work done here. read more

They were nice but I paid for a cleaning for my friend and I, wasn't given the cleaning and told I have to pay again for copies of my X-rays .... They are very expensive . And the Spanish chunky woman at the counter is very nasty nice . read more

Took our daughter in for an apt. They had a new patient special for 59 dollars for a comprehensive examination, full set of digital x-rays and healthy mouth cleaning. At the end of the apt. I asked about the teeth cleaning, if it was going to be done. I was told no, that she needed to have a full x-ray done and she only had a partial one done. Showed the ad where it stated that this should have included full set of x-rays, and was then told we needed to make another apt. for that. Total rip off. read more

This is a very bad dentist! She is a big liar! She said that I had to pay $5000 but I tried going to another dentist(Stein Dental Group) and they said nothing was wrong with my teeth! Don't trust this dentist!! read more

Walked out very disappointed & will never return. New to area & needed routine teeth cleaning. After waiting more than 30 mins past scheduled appt in cramped waiting room, I was taken back for xrays. She explained that after xrays, the dr would perform exam. She didn't mention teeth cleaning, so I wanted to confirm it would be done too. But she said normally cleaning done at a follow-up appt. She left room & next thing I know the receptionist was standing over me lecturing me on their policy of not doing cleaning at the same appointment as xray & exam. I told him he obviously did not inform me of that fact when appt was scheduled or else we wouldn't be having this conversation. He basically continued to argue with me, insisting he was right & I was wrong. So I got up & walked out without getting anything done. What a waste of time. Worst dental experience ever. They obviously need a lesson in customer service. read more
