What can I say about Clearwater Family Dental? AMAZING!! I have had such a wonderful experience on my journey to a wonderful smile. Dr. Paul and everyone there are kind, caring and hilarious. And it all started by visiting Marina. She is a phenomenal person who took the time to say hello to me at every visit. I feel amazing, confident and for the first time in many years, beautiful. Thank you so much from the bottom of heart. I will enjoy seeing all of you at my cleanings! Patty Barrett

I hope my review can help others to pursue treatment with an exceptional world class dentist, Dr Paul. Once again I would like to thank you Dr Paul for an amazing job with my diagnosis and surgery. I am out of state but I have been traveling to see Dr Paul for quite some time. When you find a true master of his craft, you will never go back to others! I had pulsating pain in the left side of my face shooting to the left ear for years. I went to several ENTs and Oral Surgeons at Duke and UNC but my condition was not easy to diagnose. And during this time I lost several teeth. At first I was doing root canals, then because the pain continued I ended up pulling the teeth out. I had continuous discharge from the throat and often had lumps in the neck which were treated with antibiotics and steroids pretty much continuously. Last year I had vertigo which lasted for a few months before it finally went away. I developed swelling on the left side of my face near the mandibular, which nobody could diagnose. MRI and CT scans did not show what was inside of the swelled soft tissue. One year ago one ENT at UNC told me that I have osteomyelitis He prescribed me pills which did not help. This is a life threatening disease when the jaw bone is infected and it can spread to nearby organs and tissues and drain toxins to the heart. Within the last year I placed two zirconium dental implants. Dr Paul helped me to restore them with his wonderful in-office same day technology. In the past he helped to restore another implant which nobody could restore because it was placed too high in the gum by an Oral Surgeon. I know for a fact that with his many state of the art technologies, Dr Paul has the tools and outstanding expertise to properly and expertly place and restore the implants. While restoring my last implant in early September I asked Dr Paul to look at what was going on with the swelling on the left side of my face. He took a 3D cone beam scan and using other diagnostic tools he was able to make a diagnosis. He presented me with full evidence from the cone beam images that showed a large hole in the jaw which potentially had infection inside. It was consistent with a previous suggestion that I had osteomyelitis. He gave me a choice to fix this with surgery if I wanted to. I decided to pursue the surgery with Dr Paul because he is the only one who finally diagnosed me and who I truly trust because he has done so much other great dental work with me. And most importantly, he has PRF technology and he is using Ozone while performing jaw infection removal surgery which greatly speeds up healing and infection resolution and stimulates bone growth. My surgery exceeded my expectations. I was swelled of course for a couple of days but finally the swelling receded and my tissues are healing up pretty fast due to PRF and Ozone that he used during the surgery. My stitches were removed on the fifth day and I got a laser treatment and another Ozone injection a week after the surgery and now I am back home in North Carolina. I also want to thank Ginger who coordinated everything and provided me with the most convenient schedule for surgery and follow-up. The costs were very reasonable for the significant amount of work that they did in that truly wonderful dental office. I just have no words to express how lucky I am to have found Dr Paul and to be diagnosed and treated by him. He is the BEST in his field. He is a caring doctor who loves what he is doing and who is truly passionate about taking care of his patients. Thank you so much for saving my life, Dr Paul!

Today was my first time at Clearwater Family Dental and I have to say that the experience was absolutely wonderful. I’m not a huge fan of going to the dentist, but Marina and Dr. Paul made me feel right at home and the appointment was very A to B. The staff is so friendly!! I felt very taken care of and I am actually looking forward to coming back! Thank you all for your love and care. This group loves what they do and it shows.

I have Traumatic Brain Injury which translates to constant headache, light and noise sensitivity that is debilitating. This makes it hard to do may things. But they knew who I was and all about my health. You immediately feel important ,cared for ….and not just about your teeth by your overall health as it is, the mouth is the gateway to your health. This is the only Dentist that is super attentive and knowledgeable and aware of all your health conditions .I have never seen a Dentist office run this amazingly. Its truly a family of great People doing what they love to do and thats, to make us smile.

I just moved here and thought I would try Clearwater Family Dental, and I am so glad that I did.  They were efficient, professional, and thorough.  They did not try to sell me on something I thought I needed.  The Doctor said it was not necessary, and it saved me a bunch of money.   They treated me so well, and now I have a new dental office that I can trust and depend on to take care of my teeth.

I love this dental office. Everyone there is very friendly and polite. Nice to experience this if your nervous about the dentist to begin with. My treatment today was great, a cavity to be filled no pain and in and out in 1/2 hour. All my treatments have been great. I have been to a lot of dentists in my time and this is by far the best! I highly recommend Clearwater Family Dental

I noticed and appreciated the friendly, caring staff. My x-rays were with a machine that I had never seen before, which looked like the latest technology. Dr. Paul gave me a thorough examination and was great at communicating the summary of his exam. I then had an excellent cleaning by the hygienist. Recommendations were made to improve my teeth by reducing the wear and tear from my habits. But there wasn’t any pressure to make an immediate decision one way or the other. I felt very comfortable during the entire visit. Thanks to everyone who worked with me today. I am looking forward to returning for my next scheduled cleaning.

Ive Been to Clearwater Family 5 or 6 times in the past 8 months for major work. I really appreciate the staff from top to bottom. Dr. Rodeghero is super nice and professional. His work is really solid. My teeth were a mess and he got them back in to shape in no time. Their Hygienist, Marina, is by far my favorite. She makes you feel comfortable and she explains everything. Thanks for all You’ve done! As far as finances go, I had gotten 2 other estimates on all the work that I needed done and Clearwater Family was $600 and $1100 cheaper than the other offices that I had gone to. I would certainly recommend them to anyone that asked me. Thanks again for all the great work!

I recently suffered a severe injury to my jaw, lots of pain, couldn’t chew solid food, and was worried that the jaw bone or rotator cuff was possibly broken. Dr Rodeghero took me in immediately and inspected the injury, the set of my jaw, the swelling, all the teeth in the area, and checked my bite. He clearly knew exactly what to look for. He told me I had been very lucky but fortunately nothing was broken and the swelling and pain would subside over the next week or two. I was greatly relieved. I continue to be very impressed with the professionalism of Dr Rodeghero and his staff. They are simply the best dental office I have ever experienced.

Husband took our four year old daughter for her first appointment. He says she was a bit nervous but that the staff was very patient with her. By the time I got home, my daughter was all smiles and excited to tell me all about her visit to “the tooth doctor.” We do not have dental insurance and found the price was very reasonable (better than other nearby dentists). We had been told by another dentist that she had cavities that needed filled. Clearwater Family Dental did a proper exam, found she in fact does not have cavities, and didn’t push for unnecessary treatments- a real win! All around a great first visit.

Above and beyond my expectations! Super knowledgeable staff and caring to boot! Perfect cleaning by Nicole and Dr. exam. I was given m treatment plan according to the most vital in the correct sequence, which is what I wanted. Dr. Paul is a rarity as he keeps complete interest in me, the patient, while he is treating. So happy I finally found the right dental practice!!

Clearwater Family Dental is the place I can trust to get the best possible job done regarding my teeth. Staff are friendly and spot on. Dr Rodeghero is a very competent Dentist always willing to answer questions, but most importantly, his work is of high quality and carried out with absolute certainty. I had recently a problem when traveling and visited a couple of dentists. Luckily I didn’t follow their advice as it didn’t make sense to me. On my return to Clearwater I booked myself in with Clearwater Family Dental. Dr Paul examined the situation, provided me with a treatment suggestion which made sense and fixed the problem. It went A to B – done, problem solved.

My husband and I would definitely recommend Clearwater Family Dental Office. The office is very clean, and everyone working there is happy, friendly, and professional. Dr. Paul is one of only 200+ dentists in the nation that is trained in the new technology of Holistic Dentistry. He did an excellent job investigating my husband’s mysteriously illness and identifying he had root canals that were osteonecrosis and creating anaerobic bacteria that was poisoning him systemically. Dr. Paul did an excellent job gently removing the teeth and surgically debriding the area and using ozone before adding platelet-rich fibrin, a treatment he learned during special training in Switzerland, to boost the healing process. Just 2 weeks after my husband’s first treatment he started to feel better than he had in years. Thank you Dr. Paul for being one of the only doctors in Tampa Bay area to have this training and special 3D Cone Beam scanning equipment, and the knowledge of how to scientifically identify and quantify what is larking under our gums and in our jaw bones!

Going to the Dentist is for most, not an experience to look forward to. However when I come to Clearwater Family Dental practice I factually do look forward to it! Why? Because the environment is fun, not stuffy. Because the staff are friendly and personable. Because I never feel like I am getting the “run around”, I am dealt with honestly, fairly and there is always up front disclosure if some procedure other than a checkup and cleaning are needed. I have had 3 different people do my cleaning and each one is professional and does what needs to be done swiftly but with care. I saw a new Dentist today and she was quite lovely, she got right to what I needed to have done rather than my having to set up another appointment to come back. I very happy with my experiences at this Dental clinic and I believe that you would be as well.

Serviced my very painful dental emergency same day with professionalism and kindness. Staff is very hospitable and uplifting, as well as very knowledgeable. Dr. Paul is amazing! Within minutes he identified my issue that which took a grueling four years of several different dentist prior. Everything is explained in detail, and a comprehensive plan of action is created with the doctor and staff before you are done with your appointment. There is a separate area for children to play and be entertained while waiting with you. Information on a variety of dental areas is available in the waiting room to better educate the patient, as well as helpful resources beyond their practice; ultimately putting patients first. What stands out to me the most is how comfortable I felt as soon as I entered the office (despite my pain). The front end staff is cheerful and operate amongst each other like a family. This practice is a breath of fresh air compared to the cold black and white dental offices that are throughout Pinellas. #LifeTimePatient

I’ve been a patient of CW Family Dental for eight years now, and Dr. Rodeghero and his staff have always been friendly and helpful! I recently had a wisdom tooth extracted, and along with consultations, x-rays and follow-up visits this involved multiple trips to their office. In each instance I was well cared for, and I truly appreciated the attention, understanding and accommodation provided for a special need that I’d expressed. Dr. Paul did an amazing job with the hour-long surgery, which was not an easy extraction; also, with his assistant, Dominic, I could not have wished for a sweeter, more attentive and reassuring person. As a result, this experience I had been dreading for weeks all turned out OK, and my mouth is healing beautifully! Thank you again, Dr. Paul, Dominic, and everyone at CWFD!

Our family loves Clearwater Family Dental. They give exceptional care and service. From the moment you call the office all the way to your next appointment they take care of you. They are specifically amazing with kids. The kids waiting area is full all kinds of fun. They take insurance, are a fluoride free, and mercury free office. That along with being able to go back in the room with the kids are important to our family. The staff are very passionate about what they do and are friendly. Our technician Nicole Osika is a big reason why we love this dental office. She is kind, knowledgeable, and gets you in and out. I highly recommend your entire family go see Nicole at this dental clinic. They even give you a gift card for referrals. #allsmiles #exceptionalservice #clearwaterfamilydental

My doctor recommended me to Dr. Rodeghero due to a possible infection from a root canal. Dr. Rodeghero confirmed I had a small infection & should be taken care of for my overall health. Over the next several months I had the tooth removed & a permanent one replace it. The ladies in the lobby for scheduling were very accommodating for my schedule & drive time (2 hours). The entire staff worked “hand in glove” during each of my procedures, being very attentive to the doctor’s instructions, played low relaxing music, were always checking on my comfort & needs (VERY rare at a dentists office)! The doctor also employed an amazing technique to remove blood from me, spin it in a centrifuge, then inject it back into the surgical area to speed up healing, most impressive (A+ in high tech)!! During the extraction & the implantation, the doctor continued to ask my pain level & gave additional pain medication when needed. Everyone involved at his office is very friendly and very efficient more than any other dentist I have been to. The Doctor himself is very dedicated and very professional to being a perfectionist, EXACTLY what I want in ANY doctor!! He made the needed replacement tooth, in several versions, and made certain that my satisfaction in my bite was exactly what I needed! I highly recommend his services & his staff’s excellence!!

Top notch dental office. From start to finish my experience was 1st class. I had a horrible toothache on a Saturday and called many other offices to just be told no appointment for days clearwater family dental got me in only a few hours after I called. I was greeted by a helpful staff. Then a dental assistant named LINDIE helped me. She was phenomenal and she is definitely an asset to this establishment. Also Dr. Scott who not only got me out of the worst pain in the world but he also made me laugh. He made me feel comfortable even when I felt horrible. Thanks for being a great business and for the help clearwater family dental.

I am very grateful that I was referred to Clearwater Family Dental. The entire staff are amazing! Everyone is helpful, friendly, and they genuinely care. Ginger Rodeghero went out of her way to answer my questions ahead of time and coordinate my surgery for a time that worked for me (I’m from out of town). The office is bright, clean, cheerful and it’s super organized. I never have to wait and they make me feel at home. I needed a couple of last minute post-op appointments and they got me in without a problem each time. Now for the story I’m excited to share! I have been chronically ill with persistent, mysterious, invisible, autoimmune-type symptoms most of my life. I have done EVERYTHING to help myself. I even made a career out of it and became a holistic nutritionist. Even though various treatments helped to some degree, I couldn’t totally overcome my symptoms and/ or they would return. Doctors told me I probably had lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, celiac, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc., etc., etc. One year ago my thyroid swelled up out of the blue and caused a confusing, painful myriad of symptoms that nearly put me out of commission. Nothing I tried helped. My MD tried to figure it out but he was stumped. I finally decided to see Dr. David Minkoff in Clearwater for treatment. The first thing he said was, “Go to Dr. Paul Rodeghero and have your root canals extracted”. I knew for a long time that my root canals were a problem but I didn’t want to remove them because they were my two upper front teeth. But I was so desperate that I decided to do it. I live in NYC and I could have chosen to go to various esteemed dentists in Manhattan to perform these extractions, but I chose to travel in order to see Dr. Paul because he came so highly recommended by more than half a dozen people I knew. When I met Dr. Paul I felt instantly confident in him. He did an amazing job on what could have been a complicated procedure, but the surgery went better than either of us expected. Halfway through the surgery, as the infected teeth started to come out, I felt a sense of calmness and relief. Now, six days after the extractions I feel like a new woman! I have spent the last 35 or 36 years feeling sick every single day of my life. Now, just one week after the extractions, my autoimmune symptoms are dissipating by the minute! I still have some healing to do and Dr. Minkoff is helping me with with that, but this is the first time in my life that I feel like there’s nothing preventing my body from healing and that I will make a full recovery. I feel like I have my life back! Thank you!!!!
