“Everything was amazing. I have a fear of dental work and they were so calm and supporting. They made sure I was completely an utterly accommodated. They made sure that they assisted in helping me find financial help in order to get my procedure done. They took their time they didn’t rush. They made sure I was numb when I had my teeth pulled. They accommodated with an eye covering mainly was just a wet towel. She walked me through the entire procedure even told me how to do the aftercare and made sure I was set up with proper medication. I would definitely recommend this place for everyone who needs dental work.”

Came in for a routine cleaning, but they refused and pushed an overpriced deep cleaning instead. Even with insurance, the charge was unreasonable, and when I declined, I got attitude. Wasted visit.

They didn’t have my appt. It was a wasted trip
January 14, 2025Guilherme G.Verified patient
Amazing spot, so glad I found this dental office. The woman who cleaned my teeth told me what she was doing and why each step of the way which no other person has done in the past while cleaning my teeth. This helped me to understand what was happening in my mouth and made me felt at ease. The doctor herself was amazing too. She’s the only doctor who noticed that only half my treatment from when I was younger was carried out and outlined a game plan to finish that treatment when I was ready. She answered all of my questions and was clear and articulate. Additionally, the office gave me a price tag for exactly how much it would be to complete my unfinished treatment from when I was younger. Front desk receptionist was fast and efficient and friendly. Love this place!

The dental assistant was so so kind. She listened to my concerns and was super patient. I’ve always had dentist anxiety and she got me the weighted vest and used as much numbing stuff as I needed! She is now the only person in Florida allowed to clean my teeth!
October 28, 2024Kira B.Verified patient
I would highly recommend them
October 22, 2024George P.Verified patient
I am definitely going back. Experience from first call to checking out was amazingly reassuring, I was encouraged at every step.
August 20, 2024Martha L.Verified patient
this is a great dental experience with friendly staff. And the overall atmosphere of the office was beautiful and the even had TV entertainment as you laid down in the dentist chair that was extremely comfy. Which was absolutely unexpected but beautiful touch by this business. Looking forward to my next visit. ?
May 31, 2024Toni-lee B.Verified patient
It was efficient and on time. The office got me in very close to my scheduled appointment. If I had filled out my paperwork I would have got in right on time.
Plus to the visit was a TV on the ceiling during the cleaning. (NICE TOUCH)

All great people.
May 26, 2023Thomas R.Verified patient
I absolutely enjoyed the time I had at the Carrollwood Dental Studio. I was treated with the upmost of respect. Dr.Arora and her staff were amazing from the time I stepped in for the appointment till the time I left. Takeela performed a deep cleaning on me and was simply superb, she was very kind, and it was painless to say the least. I have 20 years military service (retired) and I am no stranger to the dental office by far, Dr. Arora and her staff are awesome and i would recommend any of my friends or family to visit.

I had a wonderful experience. I get anxious at dentist appointments but the staff was very kind and caring. Definitely making them my new dentist!
July 25, 2022Beth S.Verified patient
I was a new patient, and I would recommend going here. They seemed to be short staffed when I arrived, and I did feel like I waited around a bit and the appointment (simply x-rays and cleaning) took an hour and a half which was longer than it’s taken in the past with other dentists. That being said, the hygienist I had was very professional and kind, so I will be going back. I’ve had bad experiences in the past with dentists so I’m happy to have found one who seems to be high quality.
July 10, 2022Chelsea B.Verified patient
My overall experience was great here. Takeela was amazing and always made sure I felt comfortable during my cleaning. Dr. Arora was friendly and knowledgeable as well. Highly recommend!

April 20, 2022Framalys M.Verified patient
I have been looking for a family dentist office for a couple of years now that I can bring all of my family to, and one that I can feel comfortable enough with, to start taking care of my dental needs.. and there's a lot!!
From the moment I walked in, to the assistant taking x-rays, and the doctor actually doing the exams, THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!
I had so much anxiety coming in here, and they have made me feel incredibly comfortable and I now know, I have found my spot!!
Thank you Dr.Arora & all her staff today!!

Abby was the first one we met at the dentist office, she is very warm, knowledgeable, and took great care of us. Besides greeting us, she checked in on us, applied fluoride and after my cleaning she went over all of the possible plans for our upcoming dental needs in detail, which made me relieved because of the amount of money it would take to get us back to great dental hygiene . I have never felt this good about going to a dentist office. She deserves a raise !!!! The Hygienist for me and my wife was absolutely great, friendly, and performed the x-rays and cleaning very professionally.
