Smile Ocean Dental Practice

Great environment ! So friendly and always in a good mood! Can always count on them! The dentists there and front office/​dental assistants are aaamazinggg! Good vibe

I went in and received a cleaning, very much like most other good dental offices I have been, the thing however that impressed me was the caring attitude and concern that the dentist and staff demonstrated. The equipment is state of the art, but if you don’t have a good team running it, it would seem pointless. If you are looking for a professional and caring dental office, I would suggest giving Dr. Gowder and her staff a try.

I found this place from a Groupon, and I am so glad I did. Finding a good dentist is just as hard as finding a good mechanic or butcher! Everyone is super friendly and helpful. If you are trying to decide on which dentist to choose, I would highly recommend giving Smile Ocean Dental Practice a chance.

WONDERFUL OFFICE!
I came to Dr. Gowdar for a cleaning and a second opinion on a cavity.
I used their Groupon deal for exam, xrays, cleaning, and whitening. *Amazing deal if still available* I don’t have dental insurance so it was a steal!!! THANK GOODNESS I DID! I ended up only having a minor cavity and got it filled at Smile Ocean right away.
It was my very first filling and I couldn’t have been more nervous. Don’t worry, they cater to cowards like me. ;-) I got so nervous for nothing! It didn’t hurt one bit and I ate with no problem after. No soreness or pain at all. I was so very, very thankful!
Dental assistant Sara couldn’t be a nicer person & so gentle when she did the xrays!
Immaculate office, very intelligent Doctor, affordable prices, and caring staff.
Extremely happy with their service.

ok so i bought a groupon to get my teeth cleaned at this office, which included cleaning x-​rays and exam… x-​rays and cleaning went fine the dentist and assistant were cool seemed like they knew what they were doing. The machines were very high tech and new which is always comforting… but little things caught my attention for instance the assistants purse and dirty jacket were laying out in the room where the x-​ray machine was… I don’t really mind because it doesnt gross me out or anything like that but seemed unprofessional since this place should be a sterile environment …(this was flag one!) …ok so on to cleaning and exam… it went great just like any other cleaning ive gotten so recommend if this is all you need and its as cheap as groupon… they informed me that i had a cracked filling in one of my molars plus two new little cavities that i should take care of. so i decided to do it tonight… The dentist started on the cracked filling to replace it (thank god) …there was absolutely no communication between the dentist and assistant which would make anyone nervous… like seriously is this the first time you two have worked together? …so already on edge… then the dentist not once but twice shoved the suck hose so far down my throat that i had to «man-​handle» her arm to pull her hand and hose away from me… I have had some pretty gnarly dental work done (root canals, crowns, abscessed, you name it) and i have NEVER had to grab a dentist to tell them they are choking me… what a joke… so i let her finish the filling she was already doing which turned out ok i hope… but told her flat out that this was the only filling i wanted her to do… there was no way i was letting this lady put Novocaine in my mouth if she couldnt even do the suck hose… all in all i felt she was smart and knew what she was doing but just the situation with the hoses and no communication just made me feel like i had a dental student who was practicing in my mouth… very uncomforting and not something I want to pay full price for or even just hope that it will turn out ok… to make a long story short i recommend Dr. Freemont in PB 100% over this place… very professional and clean… do not even take the chance here… Im really sorry and never do this but when it comes to your teeth dont mess around… go with someone you trust and who is clean and professional
