I am retired Gulf War Veteran and I am hoping if you are searching for the right after hour Dentist, STOP right now and save yourself some time (Read on!). My bride’s tooth needed immediate attention during our trip to Orlando for a family trip and we where at a loss of what to do or who to call. We found 24 Hr Dentist on line and quickly called Dr Sidawi. His assistant picked after 2nd ring and booked an appointment. Dr Sidawi was in the office when we arrived in Orlando. Not only did he take care of her tooth, his X-rays identified a cyst near the tooth where our original dentist failed to find during her recent visit. It was a blessing to have Dr. Sidawi be our first call, so glad for his 30 years of experience. No bells or whistle, just plan old customer service at it’s best!!! Thank you for taking care of my bride and sharing your faith, you did an awesome job. Bravo Zulu!

Dr. Sidawi quickly made emergency appointment, same day, within hours when we called. He was very upfront about cash/credit pricing and **NO INSURANCE IS ACCEPTED**. Office is a bit unorthodox from normal dental office, no frills, but he is owner, proprietor of this business. Took x-rays, explained next steps for me and wrote scripts necessarky for me. Advised me on pricing at other dentists and how to avoid paying more than necessary. Overall, very good experience if you need emergency or after hours dental care.

We had just relocated to Central Florida two days prior to my son being up all night with jaw and tooth pain. We didn’t know the area or have anyone here who could give us a referral. We found Dr. Sidawi online. He did x-rays and discovered my son’s wisdom tooth was impacted and infected. He gave us a prescription for antibiotics until he can see an oral surgeon to have it removed. He also said if we needed anything before my son could get to the surgeon, to just call him and he’d help us however he could. He was so very kind to my son and very helpful. We called him at 1045 and he was able to see my son at noon. He really helped us out in a pinch. I will say if you call him because you need an appointment and he says he will call you back, do not be upset with him. It’s because he is with a patient and giving his full attention. We had a very good experience.

About 4 or 5 years ago, my wife and I were vacationing in the Orlando area. We had traveled from Massachusetts. It was about 9:00 pm on a Friday night when I started experiencing severe pain in a tooth (molar) that was recently filled about 4 weeks before that. The pain became very severe and I finally decided to go to the emergency room at the Florida Hospital in Celebration. I was hoping that they could do something or at least help relieve the pain. At the time, we did not know any dentist or anyone else in Florida from whom to seek advice. The emergency room attendant informed me that they couldn’t really do anything for me and that I would need to see a dentist. They then gave me the address and phone number of this dentist. When I called him, it was about 11:30 pm already. After a short conversation we set an immediate appointment. We arrived at his office sometime shortly after midnight and he was already there waiting for us. Dr. Sidawi was very professional and very courteous. He did all the appropriate x-rays and told me my options. He knew that I had a family dentist that I dealt with in Massachusetts and never once tried to dissuade from going there. He explained that there was an extensive infection in the tooth and bone and that the tooth would likely need to be pulled out because a root canal may or may not work because the tooth seemed brittle. Dr. Sidawi then gently drilled the tooth to relieve the pressure and gave me some antibiotics and something for the pain. He also recommended a follow-up visit within a few days. One thing that is worth mentioning, this tooth had been worked on a lot in the past. Additionally, and for some unknown reason, I always dreaded work on this tooth because the Novocain injection was always very painful. I never knew why. What really surprised me and impressed me was that even the Novocain injection was relatively painless! Again, I was very impressed with the work, professionalism and care that Dr. Sidawi showed. I don’t usually write reviews but upon recently looking him up I found one review which stated that this doctor “does not have a license to practice in Florida”. This I would consider “nonsense”. Additionally, I don’t understand why it is a shady part of I-Drive! It is part of a business park and was across the street from the Titanic museum. There are restaurants, hotels, and other businesses on that same stretch. Would it have been better if he were located in some obscure inaccessible area? In summary, Dr. Sidawi has been in the area for a very long time (this I gathered from the recommendations of the people at the emergency room) and has been practicing dentistry in Florida even longer! I have been to many different dentists over the years (I am a grandfather who was not blessed with good teeth). I have been to Florida many times since and have always gone there whenever I needed my teeth repaired. Including one time when I actually needed a root canal. In all these times, I was very impressed with the dentist and would recommend him wholeheartedly and without any reservations to anyone who needs dental work, whether it were an emergency or not.

I was having a severe toothache. The worst pain I’ve ever experienced in my life. Dr. Fouad was able to relieve me from my torment. At 10 Pm, He was the only one who would do the work he has provided. I had a root canal with the lowest price on the market. His equipment are not the best, but the work provided is top notch.

Root Canal.. My husband had a bad molar that was loose and causing him severe pain i called his dentist only to be told he has to have an exam and be referred to an oral surgeon not bad except that would have been weeks away as his dentists office was booked a month out just for an exam. Also they didnt handle emergencys.I called 24 hr dental and Dr Sidawi gave us a same day appt on a Thursday at 7pm he immediately took xrays and found that my husband had a severe infection and bad swelling near a nerve, the dr was very kind and quick to treat him. He prescribed antibiotics and pain medicine.My husband was able to get back to normal soon after, Saturday early evening we went in to have the extraction, he took another xray and immediately removed the bad molar , very quickly and little pain.Dr Sidawi is kind, professional and works super fast. I would definetly reccommend him.My husband is amazed at how quick he was able to extract the molar with little to no pain.When in an emergency and its outside of regular hours call 24 hr dental! Affordable amd no long wait times. El Dr Sidawi es rapido y le hizo el trabajo de removerle una muela a mi esposo rapido y sin ningina complicaccion.Y sus precios son rasonables! El es tremendo dentista y lo reccomendaria a todos para emergencias dentales. Gracias Dr Sidawi!

I had an emergency root canal done. He was awesome! Original call was at 2am when the pain became unbearable. 5 minutes after getting in his office I was in the chair being taken care of. Asked regularly if I was okay. It took 3 visits to finish due to a bad infection and my health issues. He was kind and concerned for my well being the entire time. Finished up and was adamant that I let him know if I was dis-satisfied in any way. Quality work by a very nice man!

Best experience I’ve ever had!!. Hands down!. I’d recommend to anyone!!. Dr. Sidawi got me in immediately after calling and telling him about my two root canals that needed fix they were so bad with infection. And he got me fixed up quickly and he was so gentle with me and a very friendly person. Thank you so much Dr. Sidawi.

Dr. Sidawi was sent from HEAVEN!!! We called around 9:30 p.m in severe pain from a wisdom tooth and he returned our call within 5 minutes!!! He then advised us to come right in by 10:00 p.m. Soon as we arrived he greeted us at the door and started right away doing X-RAYS AND making sure we start promptly because we were in pain! He immediately gave us options and what was best for us and performed a ROOT CANAL right then and there! We came in in tears and left smiling! God is good! He was MORE CONCERNED about our true needs than money and the best part is HE IS A CHRISTIAN DENTIST!!!! FILLED with morals and Love and our best interest! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS OFFICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband had a broken tooth that became infected and he was in excruciating pain. I called Dr. S at around 9pm after failing to reach any other “emergency” dentists. Dr. S himself answered the phone and had us come right in (it took us a little over an hour drive). The office isn’t fancy, but the dentist was very kind and relieved my husband’s pain. This morning my husband says he is in no pain at all (and without taking any pain pills!). His rates were fair, too – especially for an after-hours visit!

Overall, I was very satisfied with Dr. Sidawi. I was experiencing severe tooth pain at 2 a.m. on a Thursday and he answered the phone call immediately. Within the hour, I was sitting in his examination chair. He was kind and efficient and got to the root (hehe) of the problem quickly. After he examined me and took a few xrays, he quickly and correctly diagnosed the problem. I left his office with an immediate plan of action. He prescribed me pain medication and antibiotics and I was able to sleep peacefully. The quality of the xrays that he took were quite high as well…my regular dentist was not able to duplicate it. We are fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and friendly emergency dentist in our area that makes himself available at all hours of the night and weekends. A very kind soul.

Dr. Sidawi is an absolute HERO!!! Ignore the 1-star reviews. Yes, this is a total hole-in-the-wall office on I-Drive but Dr. Sidawi lives up to his promise of taking away your pain. He is thorough, extremely knowledgeable, and caring of his patients. He made sure I was comfortable, safe, and feeling nothing during my entire root canal. He is a LIFESAVER!!

On a vacation trip to Orlando my dad suffered from severe dental pain that no Ibuprofen or Orajel could help with anymore before flying home. We called the doctor and he told us to come in at a certain time (it was a Sunday after all) within a couple of hours. When arriving we first were afraid of the look of the building and the practice and he clearly had been there for a few hours already. But he was super nice and competent too. It was a severe inflammated root area… He made my dad eat something before the treatment because of anaesthetics (and him not having eaten because of the pain that day), asked about how he feels all the time. He explained in detail, showed us on the X-Ray, explained, showed my mum and myself during treatment, asked us to come back the next day and the day after before the flight to clean the root canal, only closed it lightly so if pressure on plane gives a problem, it can be fixed, prescribed antibiotics… all our dentist back in Germany confirmed was right. He charged once (according to google a fair price for root canal) and not for coming back and really cared. Overall, don’t get turned off when arriving but trust that someone takes care of you! He does!

I had very painful toothache and just arrived for a 2 week vacation so found Dr Sidawi , i have to say the time he took to identify the infected tooth was excellent, far better than my UK Dentist , i had a root canal treatment and Dr Sidawi gave me reassurance and checked i was ok every step of the way, he was brilliant and really showed his experience, he did the root canal and washed the infection thoroughly and gave me antibiotics, i would not hesitate in recommending Dr Sidawi he is an excellent dentist and i am thankful i found him , I’m now pain free and can enjoy my vacation.

So when I was in need of a dentist urgently I googled as you do. Then I went to yelp reviews. The reviews on this site are completely justified the dentist was caring and explained everything as he was going as well as did great work. I have to admit when I googled the property I was a bit apprehensive but the Dentist is amazing and I am so glad that I went to him I would hate to know what pain I would be in now if I didn’t. His fees were also very reasonable.

Dentist was professional and took good care of my very nervous wife. He relaxed her kept asking if she was ok. It did take a week only because of the swelling from infection she had. He made sure the swelling was gone and she had no pain for the surgery.  He took out 2 root and a tooth in about 20 minutes. Fast friendly I would absolutely recommend this dentist to anyone. Thank you so much Dr. Sidawi.

Family visited from Texas for the summer down in Orlando. We were out to eat and my daughter’s husband was in a lot of pain. He did not visit a dentist back home before coming to Orlando, as his dentist had been booked for the month. My daughter looked online and found Dr. Sidawi. We called and set up the appointment within the hour, late in the day!! He was a very kind and sweet man. I felt we were in good hands. He did a root canal, very professional. He is very funny as well! Making us laugh and asking my daughter’s husband funny questions about visiting his mother-in-law. We could continue to enjoy my daughter’s family with comfort and peace of mind for the rest of their visit. Sweet man.

Don’t judge this book by its cover. An unconventional setup tucked into the seconded floor of a shopping center. Hours from home and in a jam the friendly doctor got me in immediately . After a quick x-ray he diagnosed my issue. Got me some relief and Set me up with an anti-biotic. Only charging me for my x-ray. No office charge no emergency fee. Honest and knowledge doctor. Grateful for his service!

I was nervous to go because I had a very painful tooth. I ended up getting a PAINLESS ROOT CANAL here. The guy who was working was so kind. Don’t listen to the negative reviews because they based him on what he looks like. He was a sweet man who had great conversation and took his time (which was only an hour) to get it all done. I already feel completely better. No more pain. I highly recommend this dentistry if you’re around and in need. I will be coming back again and telling all my friends.

Excellent dentist! My crown came out at 1 am and I had work the next morning, and I couldn’t go in with a missing front tooth. The doctor fixed it right up within minutes and made me feel comfortable and allowed me to bring my girlfriend in so that I felt more comfortable. He was so sweet and respectful and it was very clean and sanitary. Great dentist!

Dr. Sidawi save my life!!! I went to a trip to Orlando on Christmas day. We planned for this trip since the beginning of the year and i had the worst toothache ever. I already lost hope from getting help because its Christmas day. No Doctors or clinics that are open. But THANK GOD for Dr. Sidawi, with one call he answered and scheduled me immediately for a check up. Explained everything that needed to be done and after 30minutes he was able to fix my problem. And save my life for further infection and worst situation. I cant thank him enough. If you need an emergency dental check up this doctor is the perfect fit! Thanks again!

I contacted Dr Sidawi after my porcelain veneer had came off after arriving in USA, on holiday from Scotland. Dr Sidawi offered me an appointment within 30 minutes! He cemented my veneer back on at an affordable price that caused me zero pain. Not only that, he is the most incredible human with such a kind heart who truly goes the extra mile for his patients. Would recommend to anyone requiring any emergency dental work. We will never forget you Dr Sidawi, thank you for allowing me to smile on holiday!

I had really bad tooth pain for about 3 or 4 days that got so bad it was giving me a migraine and making me dizzy at times. I looked for dentists opened on Sunday but all dentists in my area around Deltona, FL were closed on Saturdays and Sundays. I finally decided to look around Orlando and found 24-Hour Dentist in International Dr. I called at 8:30 am on Sunday and he saw me at 10am. He checked what my issue was and told me it was my Wisdom Tooth and needed to be taken out. He offered to take it out for 3/4 of what the normal price would have been at any other dentist. I was ready to pay close to $1000 if I had to, but only ended up paying about $400 for the entire visit and tooth extraction procedure. Dr. Fouad Sidaoui was great and really showed he cared about helping me feel better. Now I dont have to take off from work tomorrow Morning to go to a dentist. Thank you Dr. Sidaoui, you were great.

So my wife started having horrible tooth pain so we started calling around everyone else wanted to make appointments for a later date. ““remember we called because of tooth pain “ doctor Sidawi told us to cone right down and we did we drove 40 minutes to get there the minute we walked in we were greeted and right to the point he priced the procedure after examining her and no hassle…. he’s an old school dentist he’s not selling you the shopping center like others …..

I actually am now a current patient …I switched dentists as of that day he took great care of me I am currently pain free he wrote me antibiotic prescription and pain meds Incase of soreness which thus far I have none I’m feeling great !

Last Friday I started to feel a little pain coming from the right side of my mouth. As the day went on it got increasingly worse so I took some OTC pain meds and went to sleep. I woke up in the most amount of pain I’ve ever experienced from something dental. I grabbed my phone and started looking for dentists that would be open on a Saturday and found “The 24 hour dentist”. I called, left a message and Dr. Sidawi called me back asking me when I’d like to come in. I was already down the road so he said okay, I’ll be there in 20 minutes. He was amazing!!!! He made me feel very comfortable immediately. He made sure to take plenty of x-rays to make sure he had the full picture of what was going on and immediately got to work. An area of my gums had gotten pretty badly infected and he worked diligently to clean out the infection and show me what was wrong. He prescribed me some antibiotics, pain medicine, and oral rinse with instructions for care. He also asked me to come back in three days so he could take a look and see how it was healing. Again, Dr. Sidawi was awesome!!! I sincerely appreciated his genuine concern and level of care he provided. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Sidawi. He’s a very kind man, and a fantastic dentist.

Dr. Sidawi was patient, kind and understanding. He was the only dentist that was willing to help me on a low income budget. I had been suffering for several months with pain in my front tooth and seeking for help because I have no insurance all over Orlando. I was looking and fell upon 24 hour dentist on the web. Dr Sidwai quickly assisted me the same day I contacted him and he even went as far as to include xrays while removing the tooth due to gum disease that only he informed me of. I am so grateful to Dr Sidawi. I can final eat again. Rafael

If you’ve experienced any pain in your gums and teeth, then you know how horrible the situation might be!! Well I normally go to my local dentist in Orlando and did not know about Dr. Sidawe and that he works anytime you need him. I had horrible tooth pain and did not know if it was in the tooth or gum and it was a Sunday after church. I was with a friend from church and he mentioned that there is an extremely good dentist that is open on Sunday. So I went ahead and called the dentist and was able to get my tooth problem fixed. I switched my dentist and now I only go to Dr. Sidawe.

Dr. Sidawi is a god-send! I am visiting Orlando & woke up at 4am with a painful, throbbing molar. I called Dr. Sidawi & by noon I was pain-free! He said I need a root canal; but, since I’m leaving tomorrow, he wouldn’t have enough time to do the job perfectly (3 days). So, he wrote me 2 prescriptions and told me to have the root canal done when I get home & I have a week for the 2-visit procedure. How incredibly honest! He could have sold me a crumby root canal & I wouldn’t have known the difference—-until later! He only charged me $150 for the x-rays, office visit and prescriptions. Excellent dentist!

I was on vacation with my family and we were visiting Disney World and Universal Studios. I started having extreme pain in my back teeth and was worried because it was a Saturday evening around 10 pm and I could not find anyone to take care of my pain so I can continue my vacation pain free. Then while I was searching the Orlando area online, Dr. Sidawe came up as a 24/7 dentist and I decided to give him a try since it was my only option at the time. I was so glad I went to him!!! I called him that evening and he scheduled an appointment for one hour later!! After being stuck in the traffic on I-drive, I got there and he was waiting for me. Dr. Sidawe knew excatly where the pain was coming from due to his long time experience that I came to find out, after awhile I was done and I was pain free and ready to go again!! yay !! I would recommend Dr. Sidawe to anyone and to my friends!

Broke a molar at 9:30 at night, while traveling on vacation. Found this dentist on the internet. Called and he answered. Very nicely said would meet me as soon as I could get there. Arrived and he asked to take a couple of x-rays to access the situation, place of the break and nerve, etc. Told me upfront charge would be $150 for exam and xrays, got some medical info and proceeded. After xrays, said he could remove some of old filling, via drill and then use some sort of epoxy (bondo) and rebuild the tooth on a temporary basis. The filling and drilling would be another $250 to which I agreed. (He lowered his charge to $225.) He gave me paperwork to file with my dental insurance, He told me to see my regular dentist ASAP and will probably need to have a crown. He was very sweet, very calm and reassuring. My husband was with me and he explained what he was doing and why with each step. The whole process was about an hour and we were on way back to our hotel room – no pain, no needles. Little drilling and filling. I am a happy customer and just hope holds until I get back to my regular dentist for next plan.

My wife and I were enjoying dinner one Friday night when her tooth broke. We went in the next morning to for our first visit. Dr. Sidawi did a thorough investigation and found out she needed a root canal. Upon our approval he started right away. He took his time and made sure my wife wasn’t in any sort of pain through the whole process. Even when he had more patients waiting, he took his time and made sure it was done right. Dr. Sidawi even order a special tool just for my wife because her mouth/jaw is smaller than the average which made things more difficult. But he was persistent and thorough. Making sure we knew what he was doing and why he was doing every step of the way. It took several visits but he finished the difficult root canal and made sure it was perfect. I would highly recommend.

I was on vacation with my family from Ohio visiting walt Disney .one of my fillings Broke I ignored it for one day due to the excitement of the vacation.but when the pain started I couldn’t ignore no more . That’s when I called 24 hours Emergency Dentist it was late at night and the Doctor was willing to get out of his house and come to the office and see me for an appointment. I really loved this humanitarian effort that the doctor was willing to see me that late at night.The Doctor was Nice, pleasant and professional . Thank you Again Doc saved me from having lousy vacation.

Nothing but positive stuff to say about Dr. Sidawi. One of my teeth broke while my husband and I were at Disney World, and he was able to see me within an hour of my phone call. This was on a Sunday evening too, so it did feel like he kind of dropped everything to see me. Because there was no infection — and I wasn’t in any pain — Dr. Sidawi recommended that I just sit tight and save money by waiting on the root canal and crown until I got home (rather than paying him out of pocket). He gave me his card and told me to call him anytime, night or day, if I experienced even a hint of pain, and he’d take care of it right then. I would’ve been willing to pay whatever was necessary — anything to save our Epcot Food & Wine experience! — but he truly didn’t think it was necessary in the three days before we left Orlando. But the rest of the vacation was completely fine. I have an appointment for a root canal this week, and the dentist here totally supported his decision. It was overall a super-positive experience, and he seemed like a really kind man, especially in light of the fact that I’m CRAZY terrified of any/all doctors. His office isn’t super fancy and he does seem to be running the show all alone (which is probably why some people aren’t able to reach him at all hours), but it’s a great option if you run into trouble while you’re vacationing in town.
