Creating Smiles
Thank you to all the staff you guys always treats me like a family and always smile and even watch my little one while Dr. Nguyen work on my teeth. Special thanks to Gemma to watch my little one everytime I have appointment you guys are the best. Highly recommended to everyone! Hands down, the best dental office I've ever been to.

Everyone is happy and helpful. No dental shaming. Excellent knowledge and communication-they took pictures of my teeth and showed me my x-rays so I could see and understand everything that was going on. This is an example of how all healthcare should be. Dr. Yen Nguyen is committed to fully understanding your needs and wishes for a beautiful and healthy smile, so she can work with you to create a personalized treatment plan.

Went in for a teeth cleaning and they refused to do it because I had "Pockets" and need a "Deep Cleaning" which would have cost $900. I said no thanks, I did not have the money, please just do a regular cleaning. They refused to clean my teeth as the doctor stated it had to be a deep cleaning.
Last time there two years ago pre-covid, it cost me $900 for gaps and some other cleaning. I do not have bad teeth, I take care of them daily but please stay away from this place. It is worse than a used car lot how they try to gauge you. The same thing happened to my wife; every time in was an upcharge

I wish I could give Dr. Nguyen's office more than 5 stars. This is hands down the best dental office I have ever been to. I have been seeing Dr. Nguyen I believe since the office opened. They are family to me. I have brought my fiancé to see them and he loves them (he hates going to the dentist). They have treated my daughter and my stepdaughter who both just raved about the care and how nice everyone is. I can not say enough great things about Creating Smiles. They truly care about their patients and making the dental visit comfortable and stress less. I get so many compliments on my smile. All

Edit to original review: I had complications with the receptionist communication at first. After being able to talk to Gemma, I had a appointment made right away and the Doctor even accommodated my work schedule by coming in after hours. He apologized for the miscommunication with the receptionist and was finally able to answer all my questions. The doctor does truly care for his patients and is willing to go the extra mile to make sure they are comfortable and worry free during and post op.

I would give this NO STARS IF I CAN HELP IT!! Decided to make an appointment in this office for a new patient exam and cleaning. The girls at the front desk were not wearing a mask, asked us to file out the paper work and we did. While the receptionist gave us a review of our insurance benefits, she asked us to pay for a panorex because the insurance will only pay for a full mouth series. Tried to sell us services like we were in a car dealership. I told the girl that we will opt out for the panorex, and she stated the doctor has to make that decision. Obviously the insurance companies have their

Creating Smiles is a phenomenal Dentist! I have been going to them for several years now and in that time I have moved 3 times and still insist on driving 45+ minutes to them because of the service they provide.
Those that work here are personable, professional, and skilled in their practice. I have had to have cosmetic work done by them and it can be described as nothing short of perfection. They do whatever then need to do to ensure you are completely taken care of and satisfied with their work.
This is the place that you should trust with your smile.

The staff at Creating Smiles is very knowledgeable and has always gone above and beyond for our family. There is a true sense of passion in this office! Dr. Yen Nguyen is a SKILLED and down-to-earth dentist. She is patience, gentle and cares deeply about her patients and will always go extra miles for them. Highly recommended this office, and thank you to the staff at Creating Smiles for always taking care of our family!
For the negative reviews...
Based on the fact that they were so out of line with previous positive reviews, I am wondering if perhaps the person had a personal agenda.

I’ve been using this dental office for 2 years the staff is professional & friendly. I especially appreciate Gemmah & Andrea’s knowledge and expertise.
The hygienist Praba is gentle and after a cleaning my teeth are sparkling white.
My children use this office too and we all highly recommend Creating Smiles!

Awesome office! They got my daughter in for a dental emergency and were so good with her. She is handicapped and they went the extra mile to make her feel comfortable. The office is very clean and welcoming. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a new dental office.

A perfect example of medicine turning into nothing but for-profit….
I had an appointment on 21 DEC 2020 @ 2pm for a regular dental exam as a first time patient at Dr. Yen Nguyen, DDS office in Lutz (17553 N DALE MABRY HWY Lutz). After finishing all the paperwork, the receptionist went over my insurance and said that I will have to pay extra $10 for PPEs. I asked, “What you mean by PPEs?” She explained that I will have to pay for facemasks and gloves used during my exam!!! By the way, the receptionist was not even wearing a facemask…
I asked for the office manager and I had to wait for
