Monticciolo Family and Sedation Dentistry
Vincent Monticciolo, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

I have been going here for years. Before I moved back to Seattle in 2008, I had been a patient at the old location at Grand Blvd and Trouble Creek Rd. I had a sedation procedure done for many teeth all in one day, including a few root canals, crowns, an extraction, and some fillings. I arrived at 6AM, and the next thing I remember I was waking up in my bed at home at 8PM that night. I briefly remember being helped from a wheel chair out the back door into my dads vehicle, but it was a blur. No pain, no sense of time, no memory of the procedure, and all they gave me was a small amount of fluid to drink and a small pill. Now that I have returned from Seattle, Dr. Monticciolo has three locations. Town N Country, New Port Richey (new location), St. Petersburg, and I was told the newest one is getting it’s finishing touches in Seminole. The new location in New Port Richey is even nicer than the old one on Grand Blvd. A new building, with many rooms, a waterfall and large TV in the front lobby, and a great welcoming staff as always. I seen Dr. Fares on this visit, and he was very helpful, he listened, and didn’t talk down or shame me. I haven’t had insurance and I’ve been waiting on my disability for a while, so my teeth are in poor shape. He gave me options, he gave me his opinion, and he let me decide how I want to move forward with my treatment. The staff explained my insurance costs, what steps would be next, and even gave me a visit by visit print out detailing what each visit would entail, and how much it would cost. Dr. Fares showed me the panoramic X-ray, the individual X-rays, and the color images he took inside my mouth, and described in detail what was going on, and my options for a better smile. Due to my extensive medical history, blood thinners, and two of my roots being deep into my sinuses, I was referred to an oral surgeon for my upper teeth. Dr. Fares voiced a safety concerns and said he would be happy to address all of my other needs. The staff processed my insurance and went over all options with me, while smiling and not judging me. Half of the problem with any doctor’s office is the questioning, shaming, and feeling of judgement with your health, or lack of it, but not here. I look forward to my next visit, and hopefully they still have the same awesome dental hygienists as before. They seem to have really kept their high standards even after spreading out around the bay area.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Monticciolo and all of the staff. I have a deep phobia of dental work after some traumatic experiences and have unfortunately neglected my dental health as a result. This practice has completely changed everything for me. I was able to address numerous issues at one time while sedated and woke up to a smile that I have never been more happy to share! They were so gentle and genuinely kind during every step of the process. Thank you so much for all that you have done for me!

This was my first cleaning in a few years and I was very anxious because I usually experience quite a bit of pain during them. Well my hygienist Catherine had a plan in place for that and provided several levels of numbing which made my experience virtually painless and easy. She was also so friendly and helpful and understanding, and made me lose fear of going to the dentist altogether. In addition to the friendly staff up front, my wife and I realized that we luckily picked the best dentist office in town! We’ll be staying with Monticciolo!

Always a great experience at Monticciolo Family & Sedation Dentistry. Liliannie did a great job with my cleaning today . She is always nice and patient as well as the front desk staff . I never have to wait for more than a few minutes, they do great job on the scheduling. I have been coming to this dentistry for a few years now , ever since they took me in for an emergency tooth ache and I’ve been their patient ever since. Highly recommended dental office !

I rarely write reviews, but really felt the need to help other people who were in my similar situation. First, let me say that I have an insane fear/anxiety about going to the Dentist based on a poor experience as a child. I had not been to a dentist in over 16 years (due to fear) and I DREADED the dentist visit. I was also embarrassed because I had gone so long without getting proper dental care. I had checked out two other dentist and Monticciolo was the third consultation. By far, Monticciolo was the best experience. I didn’t feel judged, they were understanding about my anxiety and most importantly, they didn’t make me feel ashamed or embarrassed. Dr. Monticciolo just come up with a plan to fix the problem and his solutions were much less invasive or as expansive as the two other dentist I went too. I did elect to do the Sedation (IV) and I don’t regret it at all. I felt little to no pain after MAJOR dental work, all done in one visit. They staff was absolutely amazing and Raquel had the most gentle IV insertion I’ve ever experienced! I also want to point out that my total bill was nearly HALF of what the other two dentist quoted me. But for me, price was never the issue. The dignity and understanding was more important. I got that and so much more! If you are like me and read every single review on Google trying to find an understanding dental clinic (I feel your pain)…. I can only give you my word that this is the real deal. I did all the research and was the most reluctant until I actually went for my consultation. I also waited one full week before posting this review just to make sure I was certain about the outcome. This was the LEAST painful dental experience and the recovery was a piece of cake. I’m actually so relieved that I got this done and over with. But I can honestly say that I’m actually looking forward to my next dental visit (I’VE NEVER SAID THAT). I won’t ever get myself back in the same situation again. I can’t say enough about the remarkable experience. Especially the excellent dental service, but most importantly the phenomenal patience care!!!

I went in, hoping for help. I had terrible scaring on my front teeth. I had braces as a kid and had very dark scars. I’ve had dentists clean and fill them but they never looked right and they never were able to get rid of the discoloration. I hated smiling and pictues. People have even stopped me to politely say “oh you have something in your teeth” when it was just the discoloration. After meeting with a cosmetic dentist who wanted to change me more than my car I thought hope was lost…. Someone recommend I go to Monticciolo…. I’m SOOOOOOOO glad I did! You were able to fix my teeth and they are beautiful…. what’s more…. I now feel beautiful again! Thank you thank you thank you!

This dental office is top notch! I am so grateful they diagnosed the cracked root. I had previously been to three other dentists, including a Harvard trained Endodontist, who said I had Trigeminal Neurologia. My facial pain has almost completely resolved itself with the removal of the tooth. A big thank you to this office for taking good care of me!

Needed lots of work done including root canals and they did it all. I went with IV sedation and didn’t feel a thing. Everyone was very skilled, professional and pleasant, but Yatie was the very best part of it all and made the whole experience a pleasure. She took the time to explain everything to me and was very gentle and excellent at all parts of her job.
