There was miscommunication when scheduling my first appointment with the office. I was coming in for a cleaning which wasn’t scheduled. The dentist squeezed me in a spot where a previous patient had cancelled, and provided the cleaning herself. I can’t thank them enough for accommodating me during this time. You guys are amazing

I want to first clarify that my latest visit with my cleaning has nothing to do with the person I had! She was very nice and professional.
Over the course of my time as a patient here, I personally feel a little bullied with the comments made by previous staff and doctors. My teeth are worn (I am aware) but it would be nice if there was some professionalism in the space. I was once asked if I do party drugs because of status of my teeth. Ok, that was funny but lol what?? (Im a teacher. If I had that kind of money, the answer would be yes, so I wouldn't have to remember the Smile Centers audacity

As a recent transfer from another Dental Office in LWR (dentist retiring), I have to agree this Dental office offers First Class-Hands Down attention to detail, safe environment w/100% staff wearing masks, professionalism & relaxed attitudes to make my visit stress free!! (Yes, if you can imagine the staff really seem to enjoy their work & each other! Very rare in my experience of dental offices) After having both a crown & couple fillings done in the short time that I've attended...I have to admit, I feel like family already! Thank you Smile Centre Staff...you have really kept me smiling!!

Earlier this year , my TMJ had gotten so bad that it was creating large masseter muscles that were super noticeable. I was constantly getting headaches from clenching my teeth (from both work stress and general stress) and was looking for a professional who can perform Botox masseter injections. The first time I met Dr Stanley we connected instantly (over cleaning pets teeth that we do in our clinic) and I am super comfortable with him! He made sure I understood everything which kept me calm since the idea of having injections in that area kind of freaked me out . It worked great! And he was amazing

I couldn't be happier with this friendly, accommodating, and overqualified staff. Even as a brand new patient they worked me in at the last minute, and outperformed my expectations. They are really over qualified, and so very friendly, they FAR EXCEEDED my expectations, particularly given my particular situation. I would highly recommend this Dental Clinic to anyone needing dental care.

I called Three Smile Center early in the morning and was able to get seen on the same day ! Now, I’ll start by saying I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist. When I first walked in and was greeted by the front desk. Then, I met up John (dental assistant) who eased a lot of my fears and made me feel comfortable. Lastly, the Doctor came in and explained my options for the procedure. From start to finish this is by far one of the best practices that I have ever been to. Thank you all for making me feel comfortable and helping ease my fears and anxiety. I am looking forward

Today I had an amazing dental visit with Dr. Bojko and her staff at the Palm Aire location! Her assistants (Christine and Jayden) really helped me feel at ease during my visit. My fillings were done quickly and efficiently all thanks to Dr. Bojko! Five stars to this office for their high quality of care and high quality dentistry!!

These people ROCK!! Dr. Rick Stanley and his staff blew my socks off. He captured where I wanted to go with my smile. When I was afraid of making a decision on color he knew just what I wanted. Brooke, Kasey, George, Chris, and The Smile Centre Team were so pleasant, professional and upbeat. I was quite impressed by these people and I am a perfectionist when it comes to my teeth. Painless, top-of-the-line dentistry. I am almost speechless regarding the final outcome. I LOVE MY SMILE plus they don't nickel and dime you to death. I say "pay the man," have a seat and you'll

What an amazing experience! I have dreaded going to the dentist all of my life! I felt comfortable the moment I stepped foot into their office! Friendly upbeat caring staff! They have all of the new technology! They even have a instrument that basically power washes your teeth and makes them white! I highly recommend this office for all of your dental needs! They do everything there from Botox to orthodontics! Thank you Dr. Ringwald, Brette amd Kara! Love my smile!

The Smile Centre SAVED MY SMILE. I came to them with decreased confidence and discouraged after a less than positive experience with a prior dentist. I made an appointment based on recommendations from 2 different friends. 5 minutes into my first appointment, I felt positive and relaxed. Before I knew it, I had 5 staff members around me all helping me in formulating a plan. Grace is AMAZING and is walking me through this whole process, always making me feel as though I am the only patient in the practice on every visit. Starting with Brian at the front desk to all of the staff in the back, everyone

I'll start off with ABSOLUTELY THE BEST DENTAL EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD!!! DR. RICK, NATALIE & THE ENTIRE STAFF ARE ROCK STARS!!! (That's pretty much how the rest is gonna go if you don't care to read any further)
To give you a bit of my history, Almost 30 years ago I suffered a brutal attack where my 2 front teeth were knocked out by the roots. It immediately changed who I was. The happy go lucky 15 year old kid I used to be didn't smile again for 27 years, at least not really.
I contacted The Smile Centre late last year and inquired about getting my 2 front teeth replaced

One of the WORST dental offices I have ever been to of over 30 dentists and dental schools.
I went to see Dr. Stanley several times years ago and had a devastating experience. I have an underbite and a crossbite along with various issues that I had not been able to take care of until now, in my late 20s, as I went away for university and moved for work. Financially, braces were not possible as a child. My teeth were in healthy shape despite the bite.
The visit was standard, the personnel standard. However, the real problem was when Dr. Stanley, upon seeing my case, said, "Wouldn't

Dr. Stanley is great dentist, and has an excellent chair side manner. He fixed my bite and my sister's bite! We could not be happier.
The Smile Centre is also very good at submitting my bills to my insurance which allows me to be reimbursed quicker!
The dental cleaning done by Pamela was gentle and thorough. In addition, all the staff at the Smile Centre are just so nice!
I have no pain going to the Smile Centre, and that makes me smile!

I've been coming to the Smile Centre for several years now. Their staff is friendly and the care is gentle. I have had a crown done, my fillings replaced to white, my teeth a lined with Invisalign, all done by Dr Stanley. The difference in my smile since coming here is nothing short of AMAZING. I look at old photos and only wish I had come here sooner. Their recommendations on self cleaning and care have made my guns stay healthy, my teeth stay white and my care visits short as I haven't had a problem since. I recommend Dr Stanley and all his staff. Two big thumbs up!

I was fortunate to be introduced to The Smile Centre and the wonderful staff that Always greets me with a smile, listens to my needs and provides the better then expected care. I drive from Tampa to be treated by the best.... I'm not going to name names they're all wonderful!!! I've had some not so wonderful experiences with other dentists trying to rack up charges and not necessarily focus on my true needs. That is not the case with The Smile Centre.... The Smile Centre is worth the drive and I'll continue doing it.

Dr. Stanley is hands down the best dentist in Sarasota. Not only does he do general dentistry, but he also does other stuff like orthodontics too! His work is beautiful, like it's straight out of a magazine. I didn't have to be referred to another office and got all of my dental work done at the Smile Centre. He is extremely gentle and caring - truly an exceptional dentist. His entire staff is wonderful to be around. They care about each and every one of their patients. All of them make you feel at home and totally relaxed. Five stars :)

Dr Rife at the Smile Centre is one of the kindest people I have ever met since I have moved to Sarasota. She truly cares, and I will say that if she ever leaves the Smile Centre, I will be following her! She's a wonderful person & a wonderful dentist. I am so happy I choose this place because of her!
Also the girls are great, Rosie is really sweet and Brett too!
I have had some major work done after an auto accident and they helped me feel so at ease
Thanks ladies!!
