South Tampa Smiles

Negative experience: It’s been difficult for me to find a reliable dentist, I chose this place because of the reviews. Being an adult and having the funds to finally fix my teeth, I’ve been hopeful with seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately, this place has been an expensive disappointment. Went in for a crown and the crown placed is too large. They said not all teeth are supposed to perfectly match, however, you can clearly see the difference in size is substantial. After I requested a replacement, they said no and chose to shave it down. With that, they also shaved down my big tooth in the front which now has a slant to it. After getting a second opinion, and third, it was concluded that any doctor could see the disparity and should do the right thing for the patient. The office staff are above par with customer service, but with the amount of money these procedures cost, I now have to get a new crown to replace this one. I will have to submit a claim to my insurance and also considering submitting a complaint to the dental board to make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else. EDIT: Keeping the aforementioned review in mind, my complaint is that the tooth is too large, and they refused to replace. Nothing I said speaks about a gap. As a patient, I’ve learned not to sign any post consent forms stating the work is satisfactory, you are not a dentist and this is not required of you. As I stated, any doctor can see the disparity and would ethically do the right thing. Their response is a clear representation to neglect accountability.

Negative experience: Whatever I can say will never express my entirely dissatisfaction with this place. My teeth were ok until I visited this place.

He is so courteous so consistently, sweet and helpful and understanding he’s an absolute delight to work with and one of the reasons why I have stuck with South Tampa Smiles despite not living in South Tampa anymore. Abby is a sweetheart. She’s really good at her job. She’s very sweet and compassionate.

About dental cleaning I will continue to be a patient of South Tampa Smiles given these WONDERFUL staff members that are working there

Fantastic experience: Great office and friendly staff. They have been easy to schedule (and reschedule) with. The staff is great and explains everything clearly. They went through my bill, insurance, and treatment plan thoroughly with me. Really enjoy visiting this Dental office!

Fantastic experience: Have had a great experience using South Tampa Smiles. As someone who previously did not enjoy working with Dentist Offices at all, South Tampa Smiles has changed that for me. Dr. Matthew Sorsok took time to understand what I was looking for from a doctor and accommodated all my dental needs. He is incredible at what he does - my care was efficient and painless. The receptionists are great and take time to explain everything. I had a ton of questions the front desk Amber and Emily never made me feel bad about asking questions. 10/10 team.

She was knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate with my visit. Dr Matt was very personable as well. They provided options without pushing a sale. South Tampa Smiles front and back of the house staff are also well versed with military medical readiness paperwork.

Fantastic experience: I brought my elderly mom in today - the staff was great in every aspect. She had a broken tooth extracted.

Fantastic experience: Had severe tooth pain and I showed up at 6pm after work and they still took me and stayed open to make sure I was taken care of. Beyond friendly staff influenced me to now take all my dental needs here. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had an incredible experience, the staff were all well prepared to receive and welcome children and adults. Thank you, Gleice Todaro ( new patient)

Fantastic experience: Went for a cleaning and I had a great visit. As always everyone is genuinely friendly and professional. The cleaning was thorough and detailed. Super happy with the experience.

Negative experience: I clearly stated during the consultation that I was looking for bonding, matched to the color of my natural teeth — not veneers and definitely not anything involving shaving down healthy tooth structure. I even showed photos of the type of bonding I wanted, as well as examples of overly white, artificial-looking veneers that I do not want. Despite that, the doctor presented me with a treatment plan that listed veneers, which is completely different from what we discussed. This is not about the price — it’s about the fact that a completely different procedure was proposed than the one I came in for. If you have a dentist skilled enough to do aesthetic bonding in the correct shade without shaving my teeth, I would be happy to return to your clinic.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend - the staff are great, professional and highly skilled.

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience getting our teeth cleaned at South Tampa Smiles. The staff is very professional and so sweet. I would highly recommend this office for all of your dental needs.

Fantastic experience: I've been a patient at South Tampa Smiles since 2015, and I can confidently say they have provided outstanding care year after year. One of the true highlights of my visits is Cheryl, my hygienist. Cheryl consistently goes above and beyond — she’s not only highly professional but also incredibly warm and attentive. Every appointment with her feels personal and appreciated. She takes the time to ensure I'm comfortable, explains everything clearly, and genuinely cares about my dental health. It's rare to find someone who combines such skill with such kindness, and Cheryl truly sets the standard. I can't recommend South Tampa Smiles — and especially Cheryl — highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! The staff is phenomenal & everything was explained perfectly to my understanding and made me feel comfortable during my visit. I normally leave most dentist offices bleeding but I can say they met my expectations.

Fantastic experience: Incredible dental hygienist who provides outstanding service with a warm smile and meticulous care. Each visit feels personalized, making the experience truly exceptional.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Cannariato gave me same day new patient appointment for dental emergency. Office accepted my PPO insurance without difficulty after my previous dentist termed from my insurance plan. Doctor was friendly and assistants worked efficiently. A stress free experience for what could have become a challenging episode.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful! Hygenist Jada made my three year-old boy feel right at home for his visit, and Dr. Amy Dobrozdravic was great with all three of my children. It was a painless experience as a parent. Staff very friendly, appointment very easy to make. Thanks south Tampa smiles!

I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist and they were on time for my appointment. I received great care for my tooth. I had a chipped tooth that was bothering me terribly. I was treated with care by Dr. Sorsok who explained everything to me as well as the dental assistant who did my temporary crown. All the details of my insurance was explained to me. I go back in a few weeks for my permanent crown. I'm glad I chose South Tampa Smiles.

Fantastic experience: My first visit to South Tampa Smiles was a very positive experience. The staff was friendly. The facility was very clean and updated. Quality care with reasonable pricing.

Negative experience: I called this morning for an emergency appointment (at around 9:04 am), and the person who answered the phone could have not been more unhelpful and rude. She said "if I have any earlier options, I would've mentioned it" I would stay far far away.

Fantastic experience: Robin did an excellent job, as usual, on my teeth. Staff was very welcoming.

Fantastic experience: South Tampa Smiles is quick, efficient and kind. Recommend to all.

Fantastic experience: I’ve only been with south Tampa smiles for 6 months but I couldn’t recommend them enough! It’s hard finding a dental office that will take my tricare insurance and I’m so happy they do. I initial came in due to the military telling me I had a cavity…I don’t trust the military with my dental care so I immediately made an appointment with south Tampa smiles. On my first visit they did a cleaning and X-rays and determined the tooth the military said had a “cavity” was in fact wrong and it was a different tooth. They explained everything to me and were able to get me an appointment 2 days later to do a filling. I’ve had nothing but great care, the hygienists and doctors are amazing!

Fantastic experience: They did a wonderful job and the lady who serviced me was really sweet and easy to work with. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Was amazed with the level of service and speed. I called at 9:30am and they were able to get me in by 10:30am. They helped me with a crack tooth. Shout out to Dr. Dre from South Tampa Smiles!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is extremely nice and professional. The whole experience was perfect.

Fantastic experience: South Tampa Smiles has always done a great job taking care of me as patient. Love their approach with communication pre visit and during your visit. Also Madison as my dental hygienist always does a great job taking care of me during my visits and giving me the information I need to make sure I’m taking care of my teeth properly in between visits. Excellent Team I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Drexler and all the others working in this office are so friendly. They spend time with you and explain everything they need to do. I am telling everyone I know to go to South Tampa Smiles.

Fantastic experience: South Tampa smiles is a clean facility with friendly staff. My technician was Madison and she was friendly and easy on my teeth.

Fantastic experience: Great team and staff! A kid pushed our daughter into a rail on the playground and chipped her tooth. We called and the staff was able to get us in an hour later and repair the chip. Thank you Emily, Dr. Sorsok, and staff

Fantastic experience: Basil my hygienist was great to work with. Although he was very thorough he insured that I remained comfortable at all times. Thank you again for the exceptional service.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about this dental office! I started coming here after having a rough experience with a walk-in clinic that did an extraction. From the moment I called, the staff here was kind, responsive, and genuinely concerned about helping me feel better.

Fantastic experience: Thank you for great service and kind staff, I'm on the spectrum and have a hard time understanding sometimes but the staff was patient and explained things to me. Much Love to everyone I interacted with today.

Fantastic experience: Best dentist experience I’ve ever had . They were all super nice and calming .

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of South Tampa Smiles for a number of years now. Dr. John, Dr. Matt, and their whole crew (especially my hygienist, Kelly) are caring and wonderful. They always take time to talk with me, make sure I am relaxed and understand my treatments, and answer any questions I may have. Love being a patient here!

Fantastic experience: Robin is amazing. I will never see anyone else for my teeth. South Tampa miles is the best.

Fantastic experience: I chipped my tooth and needed to get that taken care of quickly. South Tampa Smiles was able to see me the same day. They were quick, the staff was friendly, the pricing was reasonable, and they didn't try to upsell me on unneeded extra services. I was very happy with my experience here.

Fantastic experience: The best! They make you feel better quickly and have the best bedside manner. Staff and Doctors are top notch!

Fantastic experience: I love South Tampa Smiles! When I had a crown suddenly and painfully break apart on a Saturday afternoon, Dr. Matt and staff adjusted their schedules and fixed me up with a temporary crown. It was so appreciated because I was leaving Monday morning for a work trip. 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic experience: First time going here and it was great! Everyone was so nice and did a great job.

Fantastic experience: This was the best dentist experience I’ve ever had! They were efficient and informative about any concerns I had. I have already recommended them to a few of my friends, can’t say enough about them!

Fantastic experience: The environment is nice the doctor and nurse are both professional and friendly

Fantastic experience: I cannot stand going to the dentist. They are painful. It is an unpleasant experience. I will put off going as long as I can. Well, thank goodness South Tampa Smiles exists!!! This dental office is fantabous!!!!!!!! The moment you enter you are at ease. The staff at the front desk are warm and friendly. The large waiting area is bright. The appointments are on time! The dental assistants are friendly, yes, but they are careful, knowledgeable and work delicately. No painful tugging, no unnecessary prodding. Quick and efficient. Then the star of this wonderful production shows Dr. Cannariato. Amazing. Simply amazing. He is warm and funny, but importantly he is a brilliant dentist. Did he give me a shot? Yes. Did I feel it or have discomfort? No. Did he have to drill? Yes. Was it awful? No. My tooth had cracked and needed a crown. In the past this was a long and painful visit. This was so fast with no pain!!! In/out maybe 30 mins with precision and accuracy. Follow up for perm crown -15 mins!!! My fear of dentists has literally been cured strictly because of the entire South Tampa Smiles team. There is no reason to go to any other dental office, especially if you are nervous about dentists. This is a wonderful office!!!

Negative experience: On February 18, I had the opportunity to visit South Tampa Smiles. I have been visiting South Tampa Smiles for my dental treatments for over five years. This time, I had an infection in a tooth. The infection had already cleared by the time they took X-rays of the tooth. The tooth had no cavities, no issues—it was perfectly fine. However, the hygienist performing my cleaning told me, “I recommend that we extract the tooth because you don’t need it.” I asked, “But is the tooth damaged? Does it have a cavity?” They responded, “No, but you don’t need it.” That is not professional medical advice; that is the advice of a salesperson trying to make money. I had to ask if there was any way to save the tooth since it wasn’t damaged, and the response was, “No, you don’t need it.” That is not a valid medical reason to extract a tooth. Be careful where you go and where you seek medical services. I can’t complain about the service from the receptionists—the front desk staff at South Tampa Smiles is excellent. Everyone at reception is great. However, I did not like the advice I was given—it felt more like the advice of a salesperson trying to make money. Update 3/9/2025 The tooth they wanted to extract had no cavities. I have no issues in my mouth at the moment. It has been a month and a half, and the tooth was never at risk of being lost, so there was no need to “save” it because there was nothing wrong with it. It was just a minor infection that I managed to treat with antibiotics—which I had to specifically request because they initially refused to prescribe them. I asked for them to save my tooth because your proposed treatment was to remove it. It’s nice that you’re replying to my comment, but your response doesn’t truly reflect what actually happened. What you wanted to do at the office was extract my tooth without any valid medical reason because there was nothing wrong with it.

Fantastic experience: New patient seeking 2nd opinion. South Tampa Smiles was awesome!! They got me in quickly, modern building, addressed my concerns, and the assistant & the dentist were both very nice and friendly. STS is now my new Dentist! Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Been going to South Tampa smiles for years Dr always does a great job!

Fantastic experience: First visit and it was awesome! The girls in the front desk super nice, and dentist as well. Super recommended

Negative experience: Went there to have an upper molar pulled as they had already seen me the week before to determine this. Sat in the dental CHAIR and the assistant swabbed my mouth to begin the numbing process then the dentist came in and stated he was uncertain about something (words one never wants to hear from a doctor)and began to repeat the same procedure performed the week before which included tapping various teeth and shooting ice spray substance around the molar and other areas near it. He then said he could not do it(remove the tooth) . He then brought in another dentist who specializes in root canals (something I already told him was out of the question). ...long story short they ended up giving me a referral slip for an oral surgeon they regularly use. Now, wouldn't you think a dentist who has been in practice for over 2 decades had to conclude this the week before? Or are they just that INCOMPETENT? Drove ALL the way down to SOUTH TAMPA to get ZERO done. They had to reverse the charge. I have since gone to an unreferred surgeon and it would not have worked to have a root canal and crown done in that area due to the crown and molar so very close to the wisdom tooth.Do your self favor and STAY AWAY from this place!

Fantastic experience: Compassionate staff focused on solving problems with the easiest solutions. Efficient getting me in & out. Files claims promptly with insurance. Cheryl is the best hygienist I have seen in Tampa Bay.

Fantastic experience: Love this dentist! Hygienist was very knowledgeable and kind and taking her advice down for the next visit.

Fantastic experience: Front desk staff were awesome. They help you navigate your insurance and explain everything. There was no guessing, no confusion. The hygienist was thorough and pleasant. The dentist, Dr Cannariato was great. No fluff. To the point.

Fantastic experience: My first appointment at South Tampa smiles was really great. Everyone was super friendly and explained everything clearly. I am happy to be a patient there!
