    This was my second experience with Dr Mellman. The first…read moreexperience was a mere 11 years ago! A Little Background. I've had very little trouble with my teeth, thanks to my genes and my oral hygiene. My regular dentist? All he gets to do to me is a prophylactic treatment twice a year. That translates into a little housekeeping and cleaning of my choppers. I've always felt fortunate. That I've never had a cavity. I guess I'd say I'm enamored with my enamel, thanks to my kith and kin. (What'd he say?) The First Visit. I had a pocket area in a part of my gums that wasn't any huge concern, but I wanted it gone, so my dentist instantly referred me to Dr Mellman. From the beginning, I felt very comfortable with the doctor and his staff. I was seeing a man who was precisely dedicated to 'doing things right' and was extremely learned. Dr Mellman has excellent 'chairside manner', too. A real plus! The Second Visit. Fast forward those 11 years, and I find myself with a similar pocket in a gum. Much different than gum in your pocket.. Or, is it? LOL Without batting an eye, I knew who I was gonna call. Ain't gonna be Ghostbusters. After all those years. It was like I was walking back in time. The staff remembered me, which is really awesome OR what'd I do this time? LOL It was business as usual once I sat in that chair, peppered with an enormous amount of good will, laughs and admiration. In a nutshell. Everything went smoother than smooth! I can attest to having had a micro-mini negligible nanosecond of discomfort. The procedure was quite tedious for the doc and his able assistant. But they never missed a beat and I'm so glad! 6 Weeks Later. I'm good to go! I've got a squeaky-clean dental machine!

    Dr. Mellman is retired. Dr. Dmitry Baron has taken over the practice. Same great staff!read more

    I initially went to Aspen Dental to get information on dentures and the cost thereof. I only wanted…read moreto find out the price, and possibly set up some sort of an arrangement where I could prepay before the procedure and after I had paid completely then have the procedure done. I found that the office people that I was dealing with struggled with English, and I had much trouble trying to convey to the person that I was dealing with what it was I was seeking. She insisted that the only way that could be done was to take advantage of their financing. I told her that I really didn't want to finance them but she insisted that was the only way it could be done. I left the office without signing the finance agreement and told the lady as best I could that I needed to think about it. A couple of days later I got a call from the district supervisor for Aspen and he encouraged me to come back in and get the process started. He was very informed and quite friendly. I Returned several days later for x-rays. In all, over the entire process I had four series of x-rays. Two of the procedures were painful. They eventually identified six teeth that needed to be pulled and appointments were made. When I went for my first actual procedure, the extractions, I was dismayed when the dentist told me that they were going to pull four teeth. And I said what about the other teeth? She replied that that's the only ones they had identified. This prompted another series of x-rays and they confirmed that there were six teeth that needed to be extracted. That was a little bit distressing to know that they didn't even know how many teeth they were going to pull. I had requested that I would be given gas , and was informed of the extra $75 charge for that. I agreed to that. However, when the procedure started and the dentist placed the gas mask over my face and told me to inhale, I found that I couldn't pull any air out of the gas mask. I pulled the mass aside to tell her that and she tried to hold the gas mask over my face. Eventually she got the message and her and her assistant made some adjustments to the tank and pressed the gas mask over my face again and it was the same as the first time. There was no air that could be pulled out of the mass no matter how hard I tried to inhale. This happened again then as they struggled with adjusting the tanks and such. But the dentist would press the gas mask hard against my face and I could not get any air. I felt like I was suffocating or being suffocated. They took the gas tanks out of the room and came back later and said they had it fixed. This time. I could pull air out of it after having been suffocated three times, but I could tell that what I was breathing was not anything other than air. The dentist talked entirely during the procedure telling me about her days in college and all of her friends. I guess this was to distract me from the fact that I wasn't being administered gas. The teeth were pulled, impressions were made, and I returned to the office for my initial fitting for the dentures. They were not even close to fitting. They made some adjustments to them in the office and sent me home. A week later I went in for another fitting, this time it was a different dentist. He asked me immediately if I had had a severe overbite when I came in and I told him no. He said that the dentures were not correct and he would remake them. It was the lower dentures that did not fit and after another week I received My dentures. This being my first time with dentures I really did not know what to expect but I really thought that they should fit better. I lived with it. I had to use a lot of denture adhesive to keep them in, and they were prone to coming loose all the time. After having these dentures for a while, the lower dentures actually broke in my mouth with very sharp pointed pieces. I was hesitant to go back to Aspen because of the way I was treated the first time so I went to a different dentist. My insurance paid for the first $1,000 to fix the lower dentures, but that still left me with almost $500. More to pay to have these 1-year-old dentures repaired. I was charged for gas even though I maintain. I never ever got gas. I think their tanks were empty and rather than told me that they didn't have any gas, she just decided to give me Oxygen and proceed with the procedure. I had the impression that the dentist that did this was new. I am sure that Aspen Dental probably has some very good dentist there, however, this was not my experience. I would be fearful to return to Aspen Dental myself. This may not be a big factor but the office had a Christmas tree up and it was almost May. I would not recommend this Aspen Dental in Plant City to anybody else. I am still paying for the dentures that I got at Aspen, and they have broken twice.

    on November 15, 2024 I had overlay dentures made. After Insurance and dental deduction, my cost of…read moreover $27,000. march 30 I have a tooth fall out, May 21 another tooth fell out and now on June 21 another tooth has fallen out. I was told that they are made out of plastic and that it was common and that I had a seven-year warranty and I could come back as needed . Instead of making a new plate they offered for me to purchase a second plate for emergency use add an additional cost.

    My recent experience with Monticciolo Family & Sedation Dentistry was nothing short of infuriating,…read moreand it highlighted a complete lack of accountability and professionalism within this office. I was explicitly told before my procedure that it was covered by insurance. Naturally, I trusted their information--only to receive a bill later with no payment instructions whatsoever. What followed was three weeks of me calling repeatedly, leaving three separate messages through their call center, each time being told the office itself had to handle it. Not once did anyone return my call. On my fourth attempt, I was routed to someone in billing, only to be met with another voicemail and, again, no response. It wasn't until my fifth call--after insisting the call center stay on the line--that I was finally able to get the balance paid. This was a balance I was originally assured I would not have in the first place. The lack of communication from the actual office was unbelievable. I also requested my records, as I will never return to this practice. The staff turnover is obvious, and the environment feels chaotic and disorganized. The final person I spoke with tried to excuse the total silence from the office by claiming it was a "staffing issue" because several people were out sick--yet somehow not one voicemail could be returned over more than three weeks?

    I didn't have a problem with them until I got ready to move and I needed to close my account. They…read moresaid they would send me the balance that was in my account $300 at least to my new address. It's been almost a year and I have called multiple times and had to leave messages but to no avail. Still no answer or response. They still owe me money! It's not the staff it's the main accounting in Tampa!!
