Extraction and Denture Center
Carlos Rivero, DMD:
Practice Profile Page

I was in soo much pain because of impacted wisdom teeth, and I have no insurance. Everyone that I called couldnt see me for over a week and then I would have to reschedule for the actual surgery. Extraction and Denture Center saw me the next day after i called and performed the surgery one day after the exam. The staff were very professional and friendly.

A couple of my friends had recommended this place, so I got on Google and looked through the reviews and…. They were all correct. The staff was super friendly, and they definitely took away my anxiety.. Heather was super sweet, handled and took care of all my questions. My doctor did a fantastic job also!! Definitely 5 stars

OMG Dr. Rivero and his staff are awesome. I had three teeth extracted and I thought based on my previous experience that it would be horrible but to my surprise I DIDN’T FEEL NO PAIN. Dr. Rivero didn’t overmedicate with the anesthesia either which was a surprise to me. I thought I would have needed more but I didn’t. The anesthesia wore off after three hours which was another plus, usually when I goto other dentist it would take longer because they would overdo it. It has been exactly one day and I have taken one tylenol and one Motrin because I am breastfeeding and I am doing fine. I am so happy I chose this practice because I can fully heal without complications. Did I mention it was my first time having more than one tooth pulled.

IMMEDIATE PAIN RELIEF!! I had been dealing with an agonizing tooth ache for a couple of days that I knew needed to be extracted. I searched for emergency dentists in the Orlando area and came across Dental Extraction Center. I read their online reviews, all of which praised the facility. I also visited their website where they post their prices for all too see. I really liked that because I knew how much it would cost before I even walked in the door. I called to inquire when I could be seen and was greeting by a very friendly and compassionate receptionist. She told me that she could get me in that day (in a matter of hours) and provided me with directions to their location (I had already Googled it but I appreciated that she provided me with landmarks). When I arrived, I had to complete some paperwork and upon completion of that, I was immediately taken back to the examination/x-ray room (I didn’t even have time to open my Pokemon app, lol). Nicole, the dental assistant, introduced herself and explained to me how everything worked. She set me up with a panoramic x-ray (included in the cost) and within minutes confirmed which tooth was causing the pain. She was very professional and kind. She told me that I could have a root canal; however, they do not provide that service. She went over the pricing with me, which was exactly as it was on their website – no surprises. Dr. Rivero came in five minutes later; shook my hand; introduced himself; and, went over my health history with me. He also advised that I could consult with another dentist about having a root canal and that it was my choice if I wanted to have it pulled. In other words, there were NO high pressure sales tactics used. When I told him I wanted it extracted, he gently injected me with Novocaine, waited several minutes and then injected more to make sure I was completely numb (I didn’t even feel the second injection). It took him no more than two minutes to extract the affected tooth and there were zero complications. Dr. Rivero was very kind and compassionate as well. He prescribed an anti-inflammatory and some pain medication but encouraged me to try not to take the pain medication unless I absolutely needed to do so. I was in and out in less than an hour. The facility was clean and the staff was extremely nice. I do have two suggestions: 1) add something on the ceiling for patients to focus on during the procedure; and, 2) upload the patient information forms to your website as I could have filled that out prior to arrival. I know they are working on the latter. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone in need of dental extractions. They are wonderful! And to be pain free is the best feeling of all. Thank you, Dr. Rivero and staff!

Dr. Rivero is the epitome of brains and brilliance. He’s sincere. He’s a compassionate genius!! I wouldn’t let anyone else ever perform the intense procedure of extracting any of my teeth!! My words to you reading this: If you need a tooth out, this Angel, oops I mean Doctor, will make sure you are taken care of. My story: He extracted my broken and infected root canal in 2013. The care, patience, persistence and confidence it took for him to take my tooth out gently, without breaking my jaw and without letting me know just how difficult of a job it was during the process was incredible. I didn’t feel a thing and I wasn’t nervous — generally speaking Im a little nervous when it comes to major work. Now in 2016, I came in today to receive another extraction (which would lead to another implant…$3,000+) and instead of jumping straight into my mouth to retrieve the big money payout, he instead studied the referring doctor’s images and questioned whether or not I needed the extraction against their recommendation. He said that what I have within my mouth is not an infection, rather it’s a periapical scar! Which means that no extraction surgery was necessary! How did the other doctors (one being an endodontist from the prestigious University of Florida!) miss this when Dr. Rivero called it out easily? Mind you — all forces were ready to go — I have payment waiting — I have two referrals saying the tooth needs out — I have a plan in place for receiving the implant work — I’d meditated on it profusely and was ready to completely surrender to the extraction!! ALL systems go!! How did he do it? He’s like a compassionate and brilliant heart-centered monk who went to dental school that took the time to use his training to actually care about what is best for me and my situation instead of just blowing me over, charging me money and looking at me like I’m just another disenfranchised-western-medical-insurance pawn. This doctor is what makes America beautiful. He’s what makes being a human being beautiful! If you ever have the opportunity to have work done by him (hopefully not! I hope everyone’s teeth are healthy!) please don’t pass him up. He could be successful in any path of dentistry, or doing anything he wants to I’m sure, but I know in my soul that he chooses to work with extractions bc it’s the most extreme and intense dental surgery one could experience — he has compassion for all of God’s beautiful children, even if they have the misfortune of needing a tooth out. He knows we deserve to be treated with respect, care, thought, kindness and compassion. He’s in this work bc he knows there is a need for it to be done right… You won’t regret his careful assistance. ::all my gratitude:: Sincerely, Leslie

Two years ago when I chipped my tooth on a beer bottle in an unfortunate incident at Tootsies Exotic Dance Lounge in Satellite Beach, Dr. Rivero fixed it for me. Still going strong today! I did learn that I have an inset tooth as well. I guess I’ll have to get that fixed one day as I now am aware of what a hideous monster I actually am. Seriously though, go see them, they will take good care of you!

I was referred to Dr. Rivero by my regular dentist. I needed to have a tooth removed because I was feeling a lot of pain. From the moment I called the office to the moment I left, all I got and saw was complete professionalism. They were very nice and they all seamed to have a good sense of humor. For a patient having a tooth pulled, it can be a very stressful event. This team made me feel very relaxed. With my procedure there were a few more challenges then most. And Dr. Rivero explained what was happening as he went. This made the process seem to go much faster. Before I knew it l was done andon my way. I can’t be anymore pleased with the whole experience. I have already recommended them to a friend of mine. Great job everyone. And thank you very much.

In and out, the young lady Xiomara at the front desk was very nice very patient and very kind she walk me through the whole procedure Dr. Carlos A. Rivero was the best dentist ever if you ever need your tooth pulled he’s very gentle I had a very great experience and I will recommend this place to anyone.

I recommend this place 100% I had 2 wisdom teeth removed on 5/31/19 Dr.Rivero & the assistant was super nice and did a great job They both made sure I was comfortable and relaxed before and during the procedure The assistant was AWSOME & did a great job at taking care of me I felt 0 pain during the exstraction I recommend anyone who needs teeth extracted to go here

I got my wisdom teeth extracted here. It was a fairly fast and easy process! They were one of the only extraction centers that accepted lending club in the Orlando area by UCF, and I was using my mom’s lending club which is why I chose this office. I called to make an appointment and was pleased to know they could do it the very next day! Upon my arrival, the staff was very friendly and helping me to fill out the appropriate paperwork for lending club even though my mother is in Miami FL and couldn’t sign in person. It was very affordable compared to many other places. They had great special of $999 for all 4 wisdom teeth extractions all inclusive of sedation. Dr. Carlos Rivero was very professional and although I was skeptical at first since he seemed so young, he did an excellent job. The process was fast, easy and painless (….well except now, I’m currently in pain because of the soreness to be expected afterwards). They also provided me with the proper drugs to fill and gave me an ice pack to take home for the swelling.

Had a problem with my wisdom tooth and the office were willing to see me right away. After an X-ray, I had a consultation with Dr. Riviero who was super thorough and knowledgeable. I would recommend this office with the set of dentist to anyone and all of the prices were extremely affordable compared to any of the other practices Ive been to or spoken to about price quotes. Also the receptionist were very kind, and helpful.
