They are all so amazing and nice! Dr. Taveras is the greatest, he has the lightest and gentlest touch when it comes to getting a numbing shot. Gloria is the most sweets person. I love how she explains everything and let’s you know what she is doing. Fari is so kind, helpful, and genuine. They are all a true blessing!! They treat you like family. A 1,000 times recommend them.

First visit and im already a regular. Absolutely loved the welcoming service of the staff. Super nice and funny, the doctor was very wonderful as well. They explained to me my treatment plan and the x-rays were easy to do. Very understanding and asked me if i needed breaks in between. Wonderful Membership plan that you can sign up for to lessen your costs, highly recommended as a future regular at this location.

Great experience at New Tampa Smiles. The dental assistant Gloria and dentist Dr. Tavares were so friendly and made me feel at ease. I came in to fix a crown and everything was done so fast (x-rays, re-cement, etc). Going back in a few weeks for a cleaning. Would definitely recommend this new dental location for New Tampa residents! 🙂

I was terrified of going to the dentist. I have had so many horrible, painful experiences that traumatized me as a teen and young adult. The staff at New Tampa smiles made me feel so welcoming. I had the absolute best cleaning I have ever had in my life and is was painless. I was shocked! I have to have additional dental work done and Dr. Taveras was very thorough and I felt well informed about the next steps going forward. I am so happy to have found this place. I highly recommend!

I came in for a much needed cleaning, the staff is so helpful, clear, and patient. I have a really strong gag reflex and they helped work with me so I would be comfortable and it wouldn’t bother me. The office is super clean and organized, and they took procedures to make sure everything was clean with COVID. I drove 2 1/2 hours to make it here, definetly worth the drive. The best cleaning I’ve ever had. Will return.

First time visitor impression: friendly professional personnel (Fari and Gloria), comfortably clean reception and treatment rooms, and the latest equipment. Dr. Taveras is also friendly, professional, and thorough. He proposed a plan that will give me the function and esthetics I desire without breaking the bank. I recommend New Tampa Smiles based on this 1st time experience…all positive.

I love this dentist office! First of all, they are super clean which is so important to me, i noticed how organized all their supplies were and how clean all the tables and equipment were. I had an amazing great experience with the dentist and the whole entire staff. I recommend this office for any kind of treatments, they are very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They really listen to your concerns and make you feel comfortable! I had pain on my wisdom tooth that was growing side ways and i called the office for removal of it, they understood in what pain i was in and scheduled me as soon as possible. They squeezed me in their schedule in a few days. When i got there, the whole staff was very sweet and nice. They made me feel at ease, i was really nervous for my procedure. Dr. Jean Paul came in and explained the whole process and post care, he was very professional and sincere the whole time. I didn’t even realize how fast everything got done. They gave me extra gauze for the bleeding and recommended some at home treatments to take care of the pain and discomfort. I love this place and will be back!!

I love this office! I have had bad experiences in the past with dental offices and because of this I haven’t stepped foot into a dental office for 10yrs. However, Dr. Taveras changed my outlook with general dentistry. I had a deep cleaning and bridge work done, the recovery was fast and painless. The staff is very friendly and take time for you which is very important to me

When you walk into Tampa Smiles your greeted by a smiling receptionist.Then hygenist Fari greets you and she is an angel from heaven while working cleaning your teeth she sings and puts you at ease. Then you meet Dr Jean Paul he is the best Dentist I have ever been too. Explains procedures in detail what he is going to do.I experienced no pain at all when he was working on me. His dental assistants Gloria and Taylor are great also.

I hate going to the dentist. Have horrible experiences over the years. This was by far the best dentist visit I have ever had. The entire staff was amazing!!! I recommend them wholeheartedly coming from the girl who called 9 dentists before picking Dr. Taveras. I’m so happy I did! 4/13- just had my wisdom tooth pulled. Was as wonderful as an experience as one can be having teeth pulled. So glad I choose this team of amazing people!

Best dentist experience ever. They make you feel comfortable, they really care. Doctor Taveras listen to you and take time to explain what is going on and what treatment plan is best for you. The prices are unbeatable. I highly recommend it. Dr. Jean Paul Traveras is very humble, very friendly. Office staff is outstanding. Definitely this is our new family dentist.

Dr. Tavares is a very patient and caring dentist. He takes the time to review all the details of your case and answers all questions. The staff is very warm, accommodating, and courteous. I felt very comfortable from the moment I stepped into the office. Wait time is also minimal, which is very important to me. I am definitely recommending New Tampa Smiles.

This dental group is one of the best I have ever visited. The staff is professional and nice. The dentist is gentle, nice, and professional.

A-MAZING!!! Extremely helpful, warm, thorough, knowledgeable, and welcoming. From the over-the-phone conversation, to the front desk, to the back for service, back out to the desk again (to leave) everyone was so warm, friendly and nice. I felt so comfortable there!! I learned a lot and they have great programs that can pretty much help anyone!! I can’t wait to go back for my next appointment!! YES!! I am excited about my next DENTIST appointment! Make this your choice! You WILL NOT regret it!

Friendly and helpful staff made our visit a pleasure. And Dr. Taveras was very pleasant and patient with us during our complimentary consultation, answering all our questions and offering useful advice. All in all a very pleasant experience.

I was referred to Dr Taveras by a friend. It is a family owned business and he offered a high degree of integrity. He wasn’t pushy trying to sell me a bunch of services, he was very straight forward about what needed done. Very honest, kind and fun in his approach…Grateful our family found Dr Taveras and the whole team. His dental assistant is also a really nice and professional.

My crown fell out when I was getting ready for work. They got me in Friday afternoon. I have never been here before and they got me in on a Friday. From the phone call all the way through they were very friendly, helpful, and professional. To say I enjoyed my visit to the dentist is strange but true. My crown was sensitive since the day it was put in. They were able to correct the bite and I had my birthday dinner without an ounce of pain. Highly recommend going here.

(Translated by Google) If you live in Tampa FL. And you don’t visit New Tampa Smile, you miss it. I had an emergency with my tooth, I called early and they gave me an appointment for the same day and they helped me. Dr. Taveras has the hands of an angel, I did not feel anything about the procedure he did and his team from the moment you enter the office feels the kindness, charisma and they are all a love …

When I tell you this is the best dentist I’ve ever visited, oh boy. I never took care of my teeth as much as I wished and when dentist would overcharge/scold me, it just made me not wanna care even more. Doctor T was the first dentist that actually seemed to care (cliché I know). First dentist to tell me the TRUTH about my wisdom teeth, made sure I already had antibiotics to help with my tooth pain (only 1 dentist ever recommended antibiotics, and it was an online dentist). Along with all this he stayed focused on what I wanted fixed, which was a root canal on #19. Most dentist would say I had to get other treatments done first (tooth needs to be pulled along with cavities and wisdom teeth) instead of the thing causing me pain. Overall the experience has really helped me realize the importance of dentistry. Along with a very chill and professional dentist, the assistant Taylor was great at keeping me relaxed and calm (low key freak out at the dentist) and kept calm with doctor t as the drilled away at my tooth. THEN TO TOP IT OFF, the manager Fari kept great conversation before and after treatments to help me stay relaxed, answered any freak out question about my treatment, and really made it feel at home. Going to the dentist is scary, especially if it’s not regularly. The fear of hearing everything wrong with your mouth really makes going to the dentist unpleasant, but not anymore. 1000% recommended and will be returning regularly (even though it’s a 50 min drive for me, it really is that worth it) 1

As a medical professional myself, I understand and value the importance of listening,compassion, and capability. New Tampa Smiles has it all. They understand that each patient has different needs and comfort levels, and they adapt competently to suit. With my recent experience there as a patient, I recommend them completely. A+

I have been several places as well have a dentist in my family! I have never had such great service and experiences with a dentist as I have had here at New Tampa Smiles. They also are handling my children as well! The maintenace plan they have is so economical for families and no inaurnace is needed. I also had a permanent retainer on my bottom teeth for years and no dentist caught it yet the dentist here did. And Thank God as there was lots of build up that could not be seen in the retainer. If you have a permanent retainer get it removed immediately. If you want quality dental care THIS PLACE IS A MUST!
