I was faced with a decision to either have a lower denture made (I already had an upper) or to go with lower inplants. After looking at the options, I went with the much higher cost inplants. Big mistake. I thought that they could make my upper denture fit tighter and more secure by doing a reline. They did do one but the improvement wasn't enough to allow me to expand my food choices very much. The inplants fit well, but do seem to collect a great deal of food particles. Bottom line... really think through the cost/benefit before leaping for inplants. If I was smart, I would have had upper and lower inplants years ago when I wasn't retired and on fixed income.

This is the BEST place to go if you need a denture repair!…read more Prior to calling, I tried to get into Aspen Dental. They advertise repairs, while you wait. Sounds great, right? Except....they wanted to do X-rays of my mouth, and upsell me new dentures. I could tell that all I was to them is a sack of cash! Personally, I don't understand why they would need to do X-rays when the problem is a removable prosthetic device not part of my natural body. Sorry, but I don't willingly sign up to have my body dosed with radiation (unless there's a damn good reason to do so!). When I told them I'm not comfortable doing X-rays, I was told "it's non-negotiable". EFD didn't do any of that. I went in, dropped off the denture, and picked it up the next day. Great customer service. No hassles, no upselling. If and when I need new dentures, they will be my go-to. They did a great job on the repair.

When I made the appointment they told me they were checking my Insurance to verify everything would be good for my intake appointment. After my intake appointment I received a bill for the full price of the intake appointment. My insurance told me they (and most Insurances) don't approve 2D photos unless there is a medical necessity for them and that they billed the intake as a "Doctor Exam" which I had met my amount of Doctor Exams for the year of 2025. When I called them, I was told they only verify the Insurance would be accepted and they don't check to ensure insurance will cover the appointment, which is completely different than what I was told when I scheduled the appointment. So now I am on the hook for $200 and I am not even going to use them because of their shady business practices.

I…read moreretired from a health care clinic, so I am picky about my providers, their offices and the staff. I had recently moved to Florida, so I asked in a neighborhood group, which dental practice they recommended. Hands down, over and over again, I heard Palmetto Dental Center. I called and "interviewed" the front desk staff and booked a consultation. I found out that I am not in network and would have to pay out of pocket up front but was so pleased with my consult with Dr. Curtis and his hygienist, and since I have good teeth and don't need any work, I decided to continue. The front desk staff facilitates billing my insurance so within 2 weeks of me paying PDC, I received a reimbursement check. Incredibly fast turnaround! THEN, and this is why I went in for the consultation - I thought IF EVER something bad happens, I need to have ALREADY established care with a local dentist. That way, I can get care quickly. On a Saturday evening, I was having dinner and I felt a jagged tooth in the very front of my mouth. I panicked because we were leaving on a cruise in 4 days. An old filling had fallen out right in the front of my mouth! I made a call to PDC and left at desperate voicemail at 8:30 pm (SAT). WITHIN 15 minutes I received a text from Dr. Curtis, telling me not to worry and that the staff would call me Monday morning to get me in. I was shocked, when was that last time you received a text from your dentist on a Saturday night at 8:45pm?!? That is the epitome of customer service. Dr. Curtis and his staff fixed my tooth like it was brand new. I am so pleased! I cannot recommend Dr. Curtis and the entire staff highly enough.

My significant other went in for a cleaning (which was covered by his insurance) and they presented him a list of other things that they wanted him to sign first and pay.
