I have had my cleaning scheduled for 6 months, which is typically fully covered as prophylactic. I just happened to see something on Facebook that they no longer are in network for Delta Dental - so I called to check how much my responsibility would be! Not only was I never notified by the office that I would now be out of network - but they ignored my request for information for 6 weeks. When I called back two days before my cleaning - turns out my "free" cleaning will now be around $300. So no - I will find an in network dentist - but thanks for delaying my cleaning probably ~3 months it will take to get in someplace new.

I do NOT recommend this practice. In short, they recommended treatments (root canal/crowns) and…read moreafter getting a second opinion from an HONEST dentist, I don't need anything they recommended. I went in for my standard cleaning, X-rays, and consultation. I had been having pain in one tooth when chewing and mentioned that to the dentist. I was told I needed a deep cleaning, two crowns, one root canal, and a filling. All of this came to approx. $4,800. Additionally, they told me I needed Invisalign to help correct my bite, even though I have already had braces. Invisalign would be an additional $5k+ BUT WAIT there's a summer incentive that brings my price down to $3,500. This was an immediate red flag and gave me the ick because it felt like a sales pitch. Furthermore, the dentist said that the two crowns could wait to be done until after I completed Invisalign, which I would need for approximately one year. Excuse me, but I clearly don't "NEED" two crowns if it would be okay for me to wait a YEAR before completing that work. I called back a few weeks later because I had stopped chewing on the side that gave me pain, and the pain went away, so I was questioning if I really needed a root canal. I spoke with a dental assistant who told me that the nerve in that tooth must have died if I'm no longer experiencing pain. She reviewed the notes from my visit and said the notes said that nerve was already necrotic-- which is NOT true, my tooth was not necrotic and that was NEVER mentioned to me. In fact, the dentist told me that the tooth was fine, but I was experiencing pain because I had a large filling that was close to the nerve. Therefore when I was chewing, the pressure was causing the filling to irritate the nerve and to alleviate the pain, a root canal was needed. It had NOTHING to do with a necrotic tooth, only a filling that was irritating my nerve. The dentist was also willing to do the root canal himself instead of referring me to an endodontist, another red flag. I decided to get a second opinion because there were so many red flags that I didn't trust anything that Lake Nona Family Dentistry said to me. I went to another dentist, who owns her own practice, and she completed her own assessment first before I told her what was recommended to me by this practice. She said I didn't need any work at all, that all my fillings look fine. When I told her what LNFD recommended to me, she was shocked and said I didn't need ANY of the work they recommended. No root canal, no crowns and no filling. She said the pain I'm experiencing is from Bruxism, not a dead tooth. She said the treatment for that is a nightguard, NOT a root canal. And doing a root canal is the equivalent of amputating your arm when you pulled a muscle. I CANNOT imagine what would've happened had I not sought a second opinion. I would be out $5,000 and would have permanently altered my teeth with UNNECESSARY, IRREVERSIBLE treatments. It should be a CRIME to tell someone they need a root canal and crowns and permanently alter HEALTHY TEETH when the treatments are NOT NECESSARY. In short, DO NOT GO HERE and if you do, DO NOT DO ANY WORK WITHOUT A SECOND OPINION Edit in response to their comment: No one ever returns calls when they say will. I'm not wasting another moment of my time on this practice. Also FYI Heartland Dental is a CORPORATION that only cares about making a profit. Find a local dentist office that is privately owned by the dentist and not part of Heartland so that you can get honest feedback about the work you need done.

I want to say I am extremely disappointed with my experience today for my cleaning and I will not…read morebe returning to this location. I had a cleaning appt for 4- I wasn't seen until 433. They had to do x rays again and I was seen by a woman names Emily who was very nice but I don't think she worked in that office so it seemed she was a little clueless when it came to doing the x rays - the wire kept getting in the way of the pictures , it wasn't a smooth process so at this point I'm a little upset that this was taking so long . Again, she's very sweet , but she has a heavy Spanish accent and while wearing the face mask I could only understand half of what she is saying . After the x rays I go into the exam room and she is doing the measurements of my gums and I was told I wasn't loading enough and need to use water flossing. Which okay yes that's good advice - but the she asked me about braces and said my brances had affected my teeth negatively and I have literally never heard that. I had braces 20 years ago.. The cleaning hurt, the irrigation she did was painful on my sensitive teeth and I didn't know that was included in the cleaning but I went with it because they're the experts right ? Overall just a little poked and prodded more than usual which is not really what I was expecting from a dentistry I liked. The main dentist came in and called me by the wrong name . She examined me for 60 seconds and said everything was okay. Emily continued the cleaning . She put on the fluoride and then I was out by 540ish. I go to the front desk and they told me it was 78.00. I said what is that for ? She said you got the irrigation and fluoride right ? I was like I guess ? And she's like that's why there is a cost . I told the women next time , can the person cleaning my teeth let me know what they're doing so I can decline services? She's like , in the future just let them know that you don't want those services ... WHAT?! So it's my fault , I didn't stop her from doing the procedures ? Like I was supposed to know exactly what she was doing and what was covered . No, I won't be returning .

Every time I came in they were pushing to get my wisdom teeth removed which I kindly declined. But everytime they insisted it's better to remove it now than when I am old because I can break my jaw in old age. They use alot of scare tactics. But I had my Invisalign done at another office and essentially asked the orthodontist his thoughts on wisdom tooth removal because I don't have any issues or pain. He literally said, I wouldn't recommend it because your teeth has hooks at the bottom (all teeth does), but mine were right by a nerve. And if I do a wisdom tooth removal I risk damaging the nerve and lose feeling in my mouth for the rest of my life. I'm in my late 20s btw. I told the dentist this, and she thought I wouldn't recommend finally agree with her but the only reason she stopped asking is when I shared that risk. It was never brought up again. Goes to show you the focus was the money being made on the wisdom tooth removal than ensuring I actually needed it. Also they have added a new process where you sign your medical rights away to the dentist. So basically even if you deny a procedure for whatever reason, the dentist can bypass your denial and go ahead with the procedure regardless if you can afford it or not because these procedures aren't covered by insurance. And when you disagree with them, you feel the anger in how they clean your teeth. The last time I went the hygienist was so rough and didn't even clean my teeth right and left my mouth all dirty with the cleaning materials they use. That was the last time I went there. Never again. The reviews on Google are all inflated and a lie. My husband wanted to stop going sooner, but I kept giving them chances to my own detriment, hoping that they would do the right thing.

***PROTIP*** You do NOT have to get the oral cancer…read morescreening. Don't let them lie to you. Don't let them wear you down. Don't let them play stupid. It's not "required." You can sign a waiver to opt out. I swear, I have to fight every time I come here. I schedule early morning appointments so I can get to work. Somehow they always find a way to waste my time. First visit: I sat through an Invisalign pitch. They could have saved time by opening with the $5k price tag. Second visit: I said up front that I wasn't interested in the Invisalign pitch (I'm trying to save time here). Dismissively, the dental assistant insisted that they would still have them come offer the pitch. Before I could cuss her non-listening behind out, the main dentist came through. He took a look at my scans and realized that I'm not a candidate for Invisalign. Great! Now I never have to hear about Invisalign again. I'm still dropping a star for her dismissive attitude. Third visit: I come in for a standard cleaning and X-rays, both covered 100% by my insurance. As I'm sitting in the chair the DA says that the cost will be $75. I ask her why and she says it's $45 for fluoride and $30 for oral cancer screening. I told her I was fine with the fluoride, as that's optional, but I didn't want the screening which I did last year. Here's where things get stupid... She tells me that the oral cancer screening is "required." I asked since when, and in broken English she said it's always been that way. It protects the dentist from being held liable if a patient later develops oral cancer. On my first visit they offered the screening, and I accepted because I wanted it. Now they're telling me I'm required to have it? The Devil is a liar! So I'm pissed at this point, because, as stated before, I always have to fight with these people. I told her that I will not have the screening, and she again said that it's required, and that she'd get the doctor to come talk to me. She came back and said that the doctor was seeing someone, but would be there shortly. She offered to get started with the cleaning. Chick, are you crazy? Me agreeing to start services is tantamount to agreeing to any "required" services and their respective costs. You're not going to trap me! While we waited for the doctor, I demanded to see some documentation that shows where the law requires additional services that aren't covered by insurance. Maybe when I said 'documentation' it broke past the language barrier in her brain. Her response was that the screening is required by the doctor, and that I have to sign a paper if I don't want the screening. Mother, father, sister, brother... So NOW we get the truth. This isn't required. It's heavily recommended, and can be opted out of. I asked for the paper which she brought promptly. That proves she always knew I could opt out, and how I would opt out. She was trying to press me into the screening. Another star off. It didn't have to be this way. They do good work here. They wasted ten minutes of my time trying to weasel $30 out of me. Another star off. Let's see what happens in another six months...

Being that I have a sales background I'm often a little skeptical of places that spend a lot of money on a franchise name and then throw in advertising money at it immediately. My son had been to a pediatric dentist on multiplications and add one of them had an incredibly horrible experience due to a very old and antiquated drug that they used for him to be sedated. Dealing with children with sensory or autism spectrum issues is not an easy task. It was absolutely not an issue whatsoever at modern smiles. I don't like to admit it, but I've often thought the dentist would at least advise to do excess of treatments. My boy was having overcrowding of his adult teeth trying to come in and the baby teeth were just too tight of a fit. All in all there were a total of eight teeth that needed to be pulled. The problem being was that they really didn't need to be pulled, He could've pulled them out himself. It seems that what happened was the government had slightly attached to the tooth which was completely disconnected and only being held by the jump itself so, what is this all mean? The dentist actually said to me I will leave you should give him a few weeks give him taffy other things in your sticky see if you can repeat that himself. I said please can we just pull these today and get this over with? Dentist said absolutely not, we need to just let them pop out have them twist them but I don't feel right taking your money for something that doesn't really need to be done. He advised if they did not come out in three or four weeks to come back and see him and he would simply pop them off like soda tops. That's exactly what he did. We came back around 3 weeks later and he just popped them off. The skin got a little attached but they were ready to come out, so 10 minutes and he was done. They don't actually specialize in pediatrics year, but they do a really good job with it and if they're able to handle a sensory child then these people are pretty on point. I decided to use them as my dentist is well we live in Laureate Park and it is very convenient. If you're in the area is a lot of Dennis I tried this one and I liked him. And I don't like very many dentists....sorry dentist they got I have good teeth!!

Then today I found out he is the office Manager , I told him my experience with him on my last phone call and he ends the call with you didn't pay for the retainer they are $500 and I hope that for next time you take in consideration that our Doctors also need I day off it happens to be on your day off and you take that in consideration.

Doctors are great assistance are great even the front office people are great but he doesn't know how to talk to people without making them feel bad and that's the office Manager that's where you are sent to resolve any questions or problems you encount at the office for that reason I do not recommend this place.
