JJ Dental: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Best dental office ever! Went to Dr Rudy for implant and could not be happier. He's the most professional and knowledgeable. The staff are the most wonderful group of ladies you'll ever have the pleasure to meet.
Fantastic experience: Definitely the best dentist around! Nice staff, clean and painless. Highly recommend this office.
Fantastic experience: Never thought I’d say this, but I’m looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for a great experience.
Fantastic experience: I came in to have a cleaning, my hygenist took care of me, and she did an excellent job, she was friendly, caring and very professional, I highly recommend JJ Dental.
Thanks so much, Joe! We're happy to hear you were well taken care of during your visit.
Fantastic experience: I love JJ Dental! Every employee is super nice and helpful. They catered to me being a big baby and exceeded my expectations! I waited years out of fear. And as my first phone call the woman that answered my call said “ well, now you dont need to worry anymore.” And boy is that true! My teeth Love them!!!! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: As with my prior visits, the staff was friendly, courteous, and helpful. I was again cared for by Anthony who provided excellent service and suggestions for me easily to maintain my dental health.
Thank you, Susan! We can't wait to see you during your next visit!
Negative experience: Had veneers done spent a lot of money hoping for quality and customer satisfaction. 3 are significantly shorter tried to resolve this for over a year- no one cares enough to help- ask 20x times to speak with Dr John. I gave them a significant amount of time to try and rectify things before leaving a bad review. Just wanted my teeth to be even and did not think I should have to pay for their mistake. Big disappointment would hate to tell you to avoid this place but it’s not worth it and my teeth are no where near what they should be for what I paid. I smile and I have people telling me the teeth are uneven.
Fantastic experience: Always a great experience. Love my hygienist she does a thorough job cleaning my teeth. The reception staff is always pleasant and on task, making the check in and out seamless. Thanks for all you do.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience at JJ Dental! The staff is incredibly friendly and professional from the moment you walk in. They made me feel comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. My cleaning was thorough, and the dentist took the time to explain everything without making me feel rushed. They really go above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I love my hygienist. She is gentle and thorough. I have been going to Dr DeStefon for over 10 years. He is awesome and I trust him 100%.
Fantastic experience: Just a cleaning yesterday..Always good to see my hygienist, Vanessa. Always great service and great folks at JJ Dental.
Negative experience: Don't waste your time. I have had 3 appointments with JJ Dental. Every time I arrive early and they are always late. Earliest I was seen was 15 minutes after my appointment and my first visit they were 30 minutes late. Fastest cleanings I have ever had. I have only seen the dentist once. In my entire life, ever visit to past dentists the primary dentist always made it a point to see me before I left the office. This place.... They don't care. Always into upselling every patient. Three of my friends have been there and on their initial visit they were told they had several cavities. All B.S. They have no respect for anybody's time but their own. Dentist is all about the $$$ and just turns and burns the chair with patients. When I wait 30 minutes to be seen and the entire cleaning only takes 20 minutes there's an issue. Avoid at all costs.
Fantastic experience: This is an incredible dentistry practice. If you need a specialist they are brought to you at their office. This time I went for a cleaning with Anthony. He is far beyond a dental hygienist. Anthony spots problems and is able to take care of them immediately before they become a huge issue. He errs on the side of caution taking an X-ray to ensure the problem is not beyond his ability to deal with it. My better half is now also a client and he loves this practice. And that is from a dental phobic perspective!! The practice is not cheap but you get what you pay for!! An outstanding dental experience.
Fantastic experience: I am 64, and have had extra l extensive dental work through my years. This is the first dentist I've been where I have had NO pain. Not even during the novacaine shot! No discomfort at all even after the work. The office staff is great also! Highly recommend!
Thank you for the great review Phil! Our doctors have studied and worked hard developing our procedures to ensure they are as painless as possible. As you can imagine, that is a tall order to fill, but we seem to be doing a good job of it, as our reviewers, like yourself can attest. :D We are glad you enjoyed your visit and hope to see you again soon. Have a great day!
Fantastic experience: Great experience. I was insecure about smiling because of old crowns that did not match color wise. First I did KOR whitening which worked great. The replacement crowns match up so well that now i forget which ones they are. Dr Rudy Carballo is meticulous and truly wants you to look your best. I don't live nearby but it's certainly worth the drive.
Thank you for leaving this great review about Dr. Rudy! We're glad you're happy with your smile!
Fantastic experience: Anthony is professional, skilled, has a light touch, and very personal. He makes dental work a lot more tolerable!
Fantastic experience: Another update: I had an appointment to have my teeth cleaned yesterday by Olga (who is terrific, by the way) and mentioned I was having a problem with one of my molars which my previous dentist (years and years ago) did. Dr. John came in and said he could fix it after Olga was finished. I was surprised that he would take the time while I was there without another appointment. He fixed it so quickly and painlessly that I was truly astonished. But, yesterday’s experience once again proved to me what a great dentist he is and how terrific his whole staff is. I can’t recommend his practice highly enough. This is an update on my review below from five years ago. JJ Dental is the best dental office I have ever been to, and I have been around for a long time. I had to see Dr. John Stefon yesterday, as one of my veneers fell off due to my biting into a frozen chocolate. Dumb, I know. He couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. He saw me immediately and offered two solutions to fix my problem. He is compassionate and understand and a perfectionist which is right up my alley. As a matter of fact, his whole staff, including the front office staff, is superb. Olga, who cleans my teeth three times a year is equally good. Obviously, I am a big fan of this office and recommend JJ Dental without reservation. Having moved recently to Fort Lauderdale from NYC, we were looking for a dentist. After doing exhaustive research, we settled on JJ Dental. Well, we could not be happier. The entire staff is terrific, and Dr. John, whom I saw, is not only a great dentist, he is also compassionate, funny and an artist. I say artist, as he is doing veneers for me, and his attention to detail is astonishing. I am thrilled with the veneers. I recommend his and his office to anyone and everyone I talk to. On my visit today, I saw Dr. Dunn. Also terrific. I can’t say enough good things about JJ Dental. They are the best. This was an emergency visit, and they took me right in. No wait. No fuss. I have had a lot of dentists in my life, but no one compares to the dentists or the staff at JJ Dental.
Hi Howard, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. First, welcome to the neighborhood! I hope we can live up to your experience living in NYC. And second, we feel the same about our doctor's ability to deliver natural looking veneers. They truly are artists in their own right. Hopefully other doctors will take note and the days of the Chiclet veneers can be put behind us! :D Thank you for the recommendation. Many of our new patients come from word-of-mouth, so we really appreciate you spreading the word. Looking forward to seeing you again in the future. Until then, have a wonderful day!
Fantastic experience: I typically dread cleanings because of bad experiences from the past, but Anthony the new hygienist provided the most professional and amicable experience yet - 10 out of 5 stars!
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience at JJ Dental Fort Lauderdale. From the moment I walked in, Krystal and the entire staff made me feel welcome and cared for. The environment is professional yet warm, and you can tell the team genuinely enjoys helping patients. A special thank you to Dr. Ethan Dunn, who is incredibly patient and caring. His calm demeanor and kind nature are evident not only in how he treats his patients but also in how he interacts with everyone around him. It’s clear he’s not just a great dentist, but a genuinely good person. I also love hanging with Guy, the cute Frenchie, when I am waiting for my turn. Dr. Dunn’s recommendations and treatments are always well thought out and executed with precision, leading to excellent results. I truly appreciate the attention to detail and the time he takes to explain everything clearly. I highly recommend JJ Dental, the amazing staff, and especially Dr. Dunn for anyone looking for top-notch dental care with a personal touch.
Fantastic experience: Same great experience - updated review. Continuous above excellent service. Changed insurance - quality of service still remains the same - exceeds any dental office I’ve ever been to. Customer for life!!! JJ Dental is always a great experince. From the time you walk in and are greeted my the professional friendly staff through to your departure. My Dental hygienist is the best and he is in high demand! Thank you for your thorough and always professional, knowledgable service Anthony!! The Dr.”s check the finished product in special treatments to maintain quality control and high standards! They have the latest and greatest modern equipment and up to date technology and mechanical instruments. The time management is spot on each visit. My experience with Dr. J and Dr. J ( get it JJ Dental) is unwavering and I am a highly satisfied customer and highly recommend them. JJ Dental is always a great experience.
Hiya Deborah, Thank you for taking the time to write out such a great review! Also for the rating and recommendation. It helps us a lot as it's easy for us to tell people we do a good job, and are always striving to give people the most comfortable and pain-free experience we can, but hearing from another member of our dental family means a lot more. :D Thank you again and give us a call if you need anything at all. We hope you are having a wonderful day!
Fantastic experience: Courteous and knowledgeable office and clinical teams. My dental hygienist Anthony is the best. He is super-polite, friendly, thorough, gentle and very clinically savvy. I recommend JJ Dental 100% with no hesitation!
Thank you Dennis for the kind review!
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience at my dentist’s office- JJ Dental! Massiel did an incredible job with my cleaning (I added fluoride to my treatment and its game changer) —she was super thorough, gentle, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. By the end of the appointment, I walked out with a big pearly white smile and feeling great about my teeth. Highly recommend this office and especially JJ Dental for anyone looking for top-notch care and attention to detail! Big shout out to Grace for getting me on that cancelation list and following through to make sure I was well taken care of asap.
Fantastic experience: After some bad experiences with dentists in the past, I avoided going for quite a while. Last year, I had a dental issue that was only temporarily fixed elsewhere, but it clearly needed more serious attention this time around. I reached out to JJ Dental, and from the very beginning, they were incredible. They brought me in for a thorough consultation, clearly explained the best approach, and scheduled me for a cleaning. After that, they handled several necessary fillings. Throughout the entire process, they made sure I was comfortable, completely pain-free, and truly satisfied with the results. Now, just two days later, my teeth feel perfect. Don’t be swayed by any negative reviews—my experience was the exact opposite. JJ Dental was honest, transparent, and made sure I was happy at every step. I can’t recommend them highly enough. These guys might just be the best in the business.
Fantastic experience: The Doctor is very honest and professional. He provided amazing customer service. A Doctor with a brain and not just with the piece of paper from a university
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience at this dental practice! The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the hygienist was knowledgeable, gentle, and attentive throughout the appointment. The office is clean, modern, and well-maintained, which made the visit even more comfortable. Dr. Ethan Dunn was professional, friendly, and took the time to explain everything clearly. I left feeling confident in the care I received. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality dental care!
Fantastic experience: Anthony is the best hygienist I’ve ever had. I will definitely request him in 6 months when I return for next cleaning
Negative experience: Had a crown fall out after 16 months!!. Dr recommended a 8k implant. Had huge problems with front office person. 2 weeks after the implant went in it fell out. Every appointment was a different dentist. Asked 3 times to speak to dentist/owner with no response. Numerous appt mistakes. Told dentist I should probably go to the other office he said fine. Other office was surprised to see me there after years with other dr. I spent 2 min telling them why. Next thing I know received my records in mail. I guess they had a problem with discussion or didn’t want to stand behind their work. Too many other disappointments to mention.. the no call from the dr after years of business was the final straw. He either didn’t get the message or didn’t care to talk to a patient.
Negative experience: THIEFS ! DISHONEST & DISAPPOINTING ! my overall experience was incredibly frustrating and felt deceptive. I came in for a routine cracked tooth repair—something my insurance has always covered with a minimal copay—and was suddenly quoted NEARLY $500 out of pocket. I double-checked with both the office and my insurance provider, who confirmed it should have been covered, yet they refused to bill it properly or help resolve the issue. It felt like they were more interested in charging me directly than working with my insurance. I left feeling taken advantage of and extremely disappointed. Thankfully, I ended up going to Ideal Dental in Hollywood, where they handled the exact same procedure with professionalism, transparency, and no surprise charges AND MY INSURANCE COVERED IT AFTER ALL.
Fantastic experience: I see why this is the highest rated dentist office in Fort Lauderdale. I was scared to come in and Dr Rudy made my experience wonderful, he’s so caring and thoughtful and he has become by favorite dentist ever! Would highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: JJ dental is always the best for cleaning. Every one in the office is knowledgeable and skilled. They are quick efficient and painless and always so welcoming and friendly . Highly recommend for all your dental needs
Fantastic experience: Dr. John is a truly caring and compassionate dentist. It's easy to recommend coming here. I've moved a bit further away and still come to this practice.
Fantastic experience: I had oral surgery today. I was scared. It wound up being an excellent experience. Thank you everyone at JJ Dental they did an amazing job. Educated me and heeld my hand through the whole experience. I'm very grateful for their excellence and professionalism
Hi Dane, you did amazing! Always here for a good hand holding. Looking forward to seeing you again.
Fantastic experience: JJ Dental is the best dentist in Ft Lauderdale. I highly recommend them for both the dentists and dental hygienists. I’ve been lucky enough to have Anthony as my dental hygienist for the last 2-3 years and I have to say he goes over and beyond each time. He remembers important things about me personally and professionally that really make a difference. I like that he has a dedicated room and is consistent with his work each time. The location of JJ Dental is also prime for where I live so it’s convenient. Will continue to recommend JJ Dental to all my friends.
Thank you, Ali! Love to hear how great Anthony is with patients. We're grateful for you and appreciate the review.
Fantastic experience: Anthony is always great and very dedicated to your exam and safety. Always a pleasure too. Krystal always greets you and checks to make sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend.
Thank you, Tom!! We appreciate the great review!
Fantastic experience: Today, I had another great dental visit today! The team was professional and friendly, making sure I was comfortable the whole time. I had my routine cleaning, and my teeth feel amazing! The hygienist was gentle and thorough, giving me great tips to keep my teeth healthy. Amazing office!
Caring about our patients is top priority. Thank you for choosing us as your dentist, Edward!
Negative experience: Very friendly staff in person & via phone. I went here because I was looking for work with a free consultation. The nice young lady that got me the appointment was VERY informative but there was NO MENTION of the $160 fee. As a matter of fact if you Google" free consultation dentists" JJ is at the top of the list! The prices are a little steep compared to other places I've gone to for a deep cleaning. They quoted me over $1,000 just for a deep cleaning. Dr. Rudy was nice & informative. My x-rays were painful, something I've never experienced before. Technician was nice but it was a longer than usual, painful process.
Negative experience: Went in as a new patient. My teeth were in good shape but they refused to do a cleaning unless I paid $1500 for a deep cleaning. The person at the front desk went as far as lying and saying that they would make things worse if they did a regular cleaning without the deep clean. I consulted with a friend of mine who was a dentist (but not on my insurance) who confirmed my suspicion that I did not need deep cleaning. Upon reading some of the reviews, it seems this is what they always do. The place is lovely inside, and I’m sure once you’re an established patient it’s a good experience, but they don’t do cleanings for new patients.
Fantastic experience: I was very nervous about coming here as a lot of the reviews seemed too positive and likely fake, sprinkled with 1 star bad reviews. I’ve had previous dental experiences that left me with disappointment, anxiety, and anger so I was very cautious with researching a new dentist to go to. Every dentist has reviews of the same nature (either 5 stars or 1 star horror stories) so I was apprehensive, but decided fine, I will try this one out. So far, I am happy with my first visit. I had an initial consult and a bonding removal/polishing procedure (15 min procedure). Dr. Dunn was professional and quick, his assistant with the wavy/curly hair was really kind and empathetic towards my anxiety. I’m happy with the results of my procedure. They were upfront about the pricing and gave us receipts to sign and copies to take home. The front desk women were quick and timely and did their best to help us with scheduling as we requested. There was a discrepancy in the information of what I was told and what one of the ladies announced to me at the end of the visit, but I wasn’t met with disdain for my questioning, and the lady responded to me professionally. I feel a little more relieved and will continue to trust them in the future…
Hi Seasia, Thank you - this is such a thorough and great review of our team, including Dr. Dunn & our front desk girls.
We're looking forward to growing our relationship with trust as the foundation - you're in good hands! See you soon :)
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about this dental office! Every time I call, they go out of their way to fit me in, which I really appreciate. Dr. Rudy is incredibly caring, does great work, and his thoughtful approach always makes me feel comfortable and well taken care of. The entire staff is kind, professional, and attentive — it’s easily the best dental experience I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!
Hi Mikayl! We will always do what we can to squeeze you in. Thanks for recommending us and sharing your thoughts on Dr. Rudy - he is one of the best.
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love JJ dental! I’ve been coming here for years. I’m always seen by the staff within minutes of my arrival, even when it’s busy. The offices are clean, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable and I always have a pleasant experience. Thank you JJ dental!!
We love you too, Danielle! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: JJDental has been my primary dentist office for more than five years and I still love them. The staff is always warm and welcoming upfront and the dentists are always super thorough! Anthony is 1 of the best ! 10 out 10 —- GO HERE! JJ Dental
Thanks, Colinia! Let's shoot for 5 more :) See you during your next visit!
Fantastic experience: Hygienist Olga & Dr. John DeStefon DDS are excellent, kind, & take their time to communicate with the patient. Who likes going to "JJ Dental"...I do!
Who appreciates Amelia... we do! haha thank you for leaving this lovely review for Olga & Dr. John!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to JJ dental since 2020 and I would never go anywhere else. Best staff and best care I have ever experienced! 100/10 recommend :)
Founding member of the JJ club! Thank you for recommending us, Antonia!
Negative experience: Please DO NOT come to this place!!! I’m being a patient for over 3 years and they didn’t care that I was having a really BAD dental emergency and I really needed some help. I called them all day begging them to see someone and they didn’t care. The lady who was taking my call told me if I was in such a need and pain “ Go to the ER I don’t know what else I can tell you sorry” really sending me to the ER was gonna help me ? then I asked her if she can refer me to a place o suggest any other place to go and her responses was “ We don’t have any idea”. Really ? What an unprofessional and careless staff. I will NEVER COME BACK TO THIS PLACE also my partner and friends who are patients there as well had a bad experience in the past and they will never go back to them!! What an awful place!!
Negative experience: Disappointing Experience – Lacking Professionalism and Care I had a disappointing experience at this office. During my cleaning, the dental hygienist was aggressive and harsh—definitely not what you want during what should be a routine visit. I wasn’t overly concerned at first, assuming the dentist would come in to review her work, as is standard practice. However, I was informed that a dentist would only see me once a year for x-rays, which was surprising and felt unprofessional. This wasn’t my first visit, and unfortunately, there were red flags before. On my initial visit, I was required to pre-pay before even sitting in the chair—something I found unusual and off-putting, as it seemed to imply distrust. They also made me pre-pay for a future appointment. I also couldn’t shake the feeling that they were searching for unnecessary issues to “fix.” If you’re looking for a quick 20-minute cleaning with minimal oversight and a focus on upselling, this might be the place for you. But if you value thorough care and a more traditional, patient-focused approach, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: Staff is amazing! Anthony is the best dental hygienist! He is thorough and kind. Dr. John is amazing! Best Dental office in Fort Lauderdale!
Fantastic experience: **A Restored Smile with Dr. Rudy and Staff!** I had both upper and lower veneers done to fix my severely worn and chipped teeth, which had left me feeling too self-conscious to smile. Dr. Rudy expertly addressed all my concerns and assured me that my new teeth wouldn’t look fake or bulky. Not only did he give me a natural-looking smile, but he also provided a “smile lift” that enhanced my facial features and skin tone. In addition the entire staff at the office is engaged, friendly, and genuinely eager to serve you. I highly recommend Dr. Rudy for cosmetic veneers and a special shout-out to his assistant, Jimmy, for their excellent care!
Fantastic experience: JJ Dental is the absolute best ,first class from start to finish.The entire staff are great. Dr. Rudy gave me a smile makeover…and it is pure perfection ! I have 20 perfect, beautiful veneers (10 upper 10 lower) they are a dazzling work of art and I couldn’t be happier. I would never consider going anywhere else for Dental work. I highly recommend JJ Dental.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Dr Rudy and his team was exceptional! I was beyond happy with my end result. I experienced warmth and empathy from Grace (a very amazing human being) the young lady who answered the phone . She was sensitive to my situation, which was the 1st in my quest to find someone to replace a loose cap in the front of my smile Upon walking in the office, Dr Rudy made me feel relaxed and heard. I walked out from my initial visit, which was supposed to be a mere consultation, wearing temps that made me look and feel like a million dollars! The permanent product was even better than I imagined. I am deeply appreciative for everything Dr Rudy and his staff did for me as my horrific accident happened just before thanksgiving they literally saved my smile for the holidays! Thank you so much to everyone at JJ dental. You guys are amazing!
Fantastic experience: JJ Dental is, by far, the best cosmetic and general dental shop you’ll ever need! Dr. John DeStefon DMD and the staff are professional, caring and provide the highest quality workmanship. I am a happy and most satisfied patient! Do not hesitate to make an appointment! Best dentist ever!
Fantastic experience: Office staff was professional and very nice. The doctor was also nice, professional, and had a great bed side manner. All of this made it a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Genuinely the best dental experience you can imagine. Super knowledgeable staff, clean office, state of the art technology but with a “Cheers” hometown feel all at the same time. I love it here so much!
Fantastic experience: Came in with an emergency broken tooth. the team was so nice , took me in and Dr Rudy removed my broken wisdom tooth and the one above as well in record time. it’s been only 1 day post surgery but I have minimal pain and so thank for for the great service and wonderful outcome.
Fantastic experience: Great experience with Dr Rudy! I had 4 upper veneers done at another reputable, very good location but just wasn’t good enough- didn’t look natural- too thick, too white. So I had them re-done and WOW! Doc gave me exactly what I needed for my face and skin tone. We tried different colors and natural features, and now they blend in with my other natural teeth and look amazing! As an extra bonus, everyone in the office is extra nice, always in a great mood and just looked like they were enjoying the day which made my experience even better. Worth every penny. Five stars isn’t enough! Thanks so much! -P.M.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, helpful and supportive staff! Great atmosphere! Knowledgeable technicians and doctors! Always enjoy the trip to the dentist! Thank you for the great service!
Fantastic experience: The staff were all very chill and made me feel comfortable. I have bad dental anxiety an they were amazing. Highly recommend this place
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of visiting JJ Dental in Fort Lauderdale, and I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service and welcoming atmosphere. From the seamless online interactions to the efficient text communications, every aspect of their patient engagement was handled with utmost professionalism. The hygienist and Dr. John exhibited remarkable expertise during my visit. Their meticulous attention to detail and commitment to patient comfort were truly commendable. The office culture at JJ Dental fosters a welcoming and patient-centered environment, reflecting a team that is both cohesive and dedicated to excellence. Experiencing such a high level of care and professionalism was both refreshing and inspiring. I wholeheartedly recommend JJ Dental to anyone seeking top-tier dental services in Fort Lauderdale.
Anissa, we're so grateful to have you in the JJ Dental family. Thank you for taking time out of your day to write so many lovely things about our office. We look forward to your next visit.
Fantastic experience: JJ is by far the best dental practice in South Florida. I never do reviews but I had to share that I’ve been to numerous dental offices and JJ is legit. From when you walk into the door to check out its first class. And they don’t try to sell you something you don’t need.
Thank you, Chef Michael! It brings us so much happiness to be able to serve patients like you.
Fantastic experience: I had a very positive experience at JJ Dental. The dentist was knowledgeable and provided me with several helpful options for my dental needs. I would highly recommend this dental practice.
Thank you for the kind review, Mark!
Fantastic experience: My experience at JJ Dental is always 5 star. My hygienist Olga is the BEST. Dr. John is GREAT and the staff is AMAZING.
Thank you, Shauna! We love that the whole team contributes to your positive experience!
Fantastic experience: I visited J&J Dental in Fort Lauderdale yesterday for an emergency, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. They accommodated me right away, and the office is always clean and welcoming. The front desk staff and doctors are incredibly friendly and professional. Their knowledge and expertise truly stand out, which is why I keep coming back. As someone who works for a dentist in New Jersey, I know what to look for in a dental office, and J&J Dental has it all. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of dentist.
Hi Peggy, thanks for coming to see us - this review means a lot coming from someone who works for a dentist in another state! We're always here for your dental emergencies. :)
Fantastic experience: As a new patient to this dental practice, I found it very easy to get an appointment. Staff was friendly. There was no significant wait time at the appointment and everyone was professional. Highly recommend this dental office.
Welcome to the JJ Dental family, Marcia! and thank you so much for this great review.
Fantastic experience: A crown put on my back lower tooth by a prior dentist in LA came off after biting down hard on a seed. I took it in w me to a routine cleaning that happened to already be on the books for just a week hence. I REALLY appreciated that Dr. John didn’t unnecessarily advise replacing the crown, but rather assessed honestly that all that needed to be done was to re-cement the crown, and further, he did so at no charge. And the cleaning itself, by Hygienist, Anthony, was itself thorough, professional and done w great care! I’m grateful!
Hi Jake, thank you for sharing your experience. We were happy to help you and are grateful for patients like you!
Fantastic experience: From start to finish, the experience has been seamless and reassuring. Grace and Krystal have been incredibly welcoming as well as the rest of the staff, making me feel at ease the moment I walked through the door. As always, Dr Rudy was equally exceptional—he provided clear explanations about my dental issues, and laid out next steps with clarity and care. He immediately addressed and took care of the problem. It’s so refreshing to find a dental practice that genuinely cares about its patients and goes the extra mile to ensure a positive experience.
Hi Liz, we love to hear about a seamless & positive experience. Being compassionate and caring about our patients is our priority. It's people like Grace, Krystal and Dr. Rudy that can naturally execute on that. Thank you for sharing your positive experience for the world to see!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Rudy and his team! After 15 years of debating veneers, I finally decided to move forward—and I’m so glad I did it here. Dr. Rudy’s care and attention to detail made all the difference. He was incredibly thorough and didn’t try to upsell me on doing more teeth, which I really appreciated after consulting with other doctors. The quality of work is unmatched. My smile looks natural and beautiful, and I find myself smiling so much more now! The office is top-notch, and Grace and Krystal are so kind and helpful—they even offer no-interest financing if you need it. While other options were slightly cheaper, the extra investment here was 100% worth it. I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re thinking about veneers, trust me: Dr. Rudy is the best choice.
Thank you for trusting Dr. Rudy with your smile makeover and sharing this detailed review! You give us purpose as dentists - our goal is to have everyone smiling more and feeling confident.
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at JJ Dental! From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming, making me feel comfortable right away. The dentist took the time to explain each step of the process and answered all my questions, which really put me at ease. The office is clean, modern, and well-equipped, and I appreciated the attention to detail throughout my visit. I left feeling confident in the care I received and will definitely be returning for future appointments. Highly recommend JJ Dental for anyone looking for quality dental care and exceptional service!
Fantastic experience: Best dental experience I’ve had in south Florida! Very fair pricing and friendly staff. I had an infected tooth pulled same day and it went smoothly. Not only was I comfortable but I didn’t even know he was done until he started to sit me up and say you’re all set. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you guys again and Dr. John. Amazing job!!
Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience, Thomas! We're so glad you were comfortable with Dr. John and our excellent team.
Fantastic experience: Dr Rudy and Olga (hygienist) was amazing. This was my first visit. I had a problem with my upper right side that has lasted for about 3 years. Each dentist and specialist that I visited took high tech X-rays but was not able to see a problem. Olga was able to take X-rays and noticed a problem area. I am so grateful that I was able to get someone to at least notice and try to resolve. We think the issue has been resolved (fingers crossed)
Thank you, Dee! We're so glad your first experience was a positive one. Dr. Rudy and Olga are known to provide the best care to our patients.
Fantastic experience: Going to the Dentist for many years. I must say that my visits at J J Dental by far has been the Best Dental Experience in my entire life. The Dentist that took care of me made my Experience Personal, exemplifying, patience, compassion and gratitude that I chose J J Dental . Changed my whole Dental experience he listened to my serious Dilemma and offered immediate solutions to my very Rare Scenario. I am encouraging all my friends and family to share my Experience and join my new family with J J Dental . I was practically in tears with Gratitude ,all staff members exemplify the same level of compassion and warmth for they new patient family members in real time Compassion. I look forward to continue to share my experiences with all the people I care about , so they experience the same " Life Altering" exchange of Energy Prevalent at J J Dental ..Again thanks for being " Soluntionary" regarding my very " Tenatious" experience with my previous Dentist. God Bless J J Dental Vincent Beasley Sr. On facebook and @vrecordsllc..
Hi Vincent - thank you so much for the awesome review. Dr. Rudy enjoyed seeing you. It makes us happy to know that we can change peoples perceptions on what it's like to visit the dentist. We'll see you soon!
Fantastic experience: JJ Dental is wonderful in all areas. Most importantly, the dentists and dental hygienists are extremely thorough and knowledgeable. I have very sensitive teeth, and my wonderful dental hygienist Massiel does the cleaning manually to reduce discomfort for me. I am very confident that if I ever have an issue, they will catch it before it becomes a big problem and they will give me all of the options to handle it (which they did when they fixed an old root canal for me!) What makes my dental visits actually enjoyable though, is the friendliness of the staff. Absolutely everyone in the office is kind and positive. I live close by, so whenever anyone from the office sees me walking my dog, they always say hi. Massiel spends time to catch up on my life when I go in for a cleaning and she actually remembers everything we talk about, even though she has so many patients! For the first time in my life, going to the dentist is a positive experience. I cannot possibly give a stronger recommendation for JJ Dental.
Fantastic experience: I only leave reviews if my experience is amazing or horrid.. JJ Dental significantly impacted my life today. I have struggled for a few years with the effects of a medical condition that at one point stripped my front teeth of enamel. This has caused me to struggle for the past few years to even smile because There was nothing I could do to restore the damage, And insurance would not assist because the front teeth are considered cosmetic, Meaning the cost is outrageous. I had a work related accident, causing me to have to go to the dentist and Dentist offices Have always been a shameful or embarrassing experience since my teeth lost the enamel. Not only were all the staff so kind and compassionate, but my dentist gently addressed the obvious issue with my front teeth while trying to take care of the emergency situation.. And offered to do a repair .. Anyone who knows me knows I’m not really the emotional type.. But Today after both he and his amazing assistant worked on my teeth and handed me a mirror, I could not help but feel such a deep gratitude Resulting in happy tears.. We all have our things that we wish we could fix or we hope no one mentions, but today brought me such a great sense of appreciation and a newfound joy to smile with confidence. Every staff member is so kind and personable from the moment you walk in! For somebody who dreads going to a dentist JJ dental has made not only my day, but I even look forward to the holidays now and I’ve already been taking selfies Just because I feel a lot more confident. I truly believe they go to work with a mindset that today is not just another day at work. I’m not great at expressing such cheesy emotions, but they absolutely deserve to be recognized not only for their amazing skills but they thoughtfulness and care about somebody like me, Who is afraid of being judged. Who knew a dentist Could impact somebody’s life so greatly?! If you’re like me and absolutely dread the dentist, I would put money on them changing your perspective!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say more about JJ Dental my teeth feel amazing after the deep cleaning yesterday Technician Anthony, who worked on my mouth was over-the-top professional clean educating patient couldn’t say more. I had to buy him a steak dinner I was so impressed. Crystal Who works in the office along with the office? Staff accommodated me very quickly they accepted my insurance my wife and son. Go there now as well. I highly recommend anyone looking for a good dentist to use them.
Fantastic experience: I love this office! The doctor and staff are so friendly and personable. They make you feel comfortable with every interaction. But... the best part is the cutest dog hostess. She's so sweet and loves pets. Amazing surprise.
Fantastic experience: Very efficient staff greet and they want to make sure they hit everything perfectly. Dr. Rudy took me asap and any other dentist would have charged triple the price but he is a real gentleman. Don’t go anywhere else. If Google would allow me to give stars ⭐️ I would do it! Truly the best and I started flossing at age 50 thanks To the everyone there!
Fantastic experience: I contacted JJ Dental for an emergency visit for a broken tooth. They saw me that day and even had time to fix it with a crown no less. I am terrified of the dentist and explained that to them. When I tell you they are awesome! I didn’t even feel the novocaine going in. Talked me through the entire thing and was super daring about how scared I was. Thank you Dr. John and Danielle. I truly appreciate you!
Positive experience: I’ve been working with Dr John for the past year to straighten lower teeth with Invisalign treatments. He has been easy to work with through my travels and schedule. The road has been tedious at times, with occasional long waits to see him, but everyone at JJ Dental have been nothing but awesome and helpful. Today I feel at last…. the end result is finally here and I am completely satisfied. Thank you Dr J for your patience. I like perfection, even though you told me from the start I’d get near perfection and today after a few tweaks, I think we nailed it!!!
Fantastic experience: I went here for the first time and I loved everything about the place. The staff and the doctor are very friendly, helpful and I especially love how the Dr. Explain what is best. I have truly found my dentist.
Fantastic experience: HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I had a wonderful experience with Dr. John DeStefon. I needed my veneers replaced after 20 years, and he did an amazing job. The quality of the material they use is excellent, and that does make a difference so your teeth look natural. He guided me to make sure the color I picked was genuine and not too bright, and that the various length of the teeth looked natural versus all one length. I came to appreciate both these things when I see other people that did not get the same result. I get so many people complimenting my smile and that's such a nice feeling. Their prices are in line with others but I firmly believe you get a great value considering the quality of the material and expertise.
THANK YOU! We're so glad you're happy with your veneers and experience with Dr. John! Natural is the way to go.
Fantastic experience: At JJ they are pretty awesome.Doctor Ethan and his team are the best. Starting by setting up an appointment and their willingness to always work with me and my schedule. Then making you welcome and worried about your wellbeing, and offering you the best options and making you feel at ease. After I moved to Florida it took me a while to find the right dentist office and I think I found it!
Thank you Daniel for the positive review! Dr. Ethan (Dr. Dunn) was happy to provide you the best level of care. We're glad we were chosen as your new dental office.
Fantastic experience: JJ Dental has been my dental home for over a decade. Even when I moved out of downtown Lauderdale I have continued to go there because the staff and Dr John are second to known. The customer service is something that gets lost in today’s world but not at JJ Dental. Amazing staff and Dr John is a good as you will find from a general cleaning to crowns. He does it all and is meticulous about his work and wants each patient to leave happy. Five Star Dental!!!
Fantastic experience: Best dental office in FTL—they're consistently good! The office always smells good, looks clean, & everyone is super nice 10/10 ! - Going on my 5th year as a patient!
Fantastic experience: The staff at JJ Dental are excellent; from their office, to their assistants, hygienist and of course doctors! Everyone is so kind, professional and friendly. They are all there to make sure you are happy, comfortable and provide the highest level of care. In the past, I had such a fear of the dentist, but I’m finally comfortable and it’s thanks to JJ Dental.
Fantastic experience: Have been going to this location for about a year now. Anthony has been doing my cleanings, he is the best. He explains everything step by step and makes you feel comfortable. The front desk staff are also excellent, as they explain paperwork for future procedures in a detailed and professional manner. :)
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff !!! Fantastic Dentist!! Dr John knows his stuff , my hygienist Olga was amazing . Liz and the rest of the staff made me feel so at home . Great energy here !!! Kudos to all of you
Fantastic experience: There are no words to properly express my gratitude for the treatment I received from this dental practice and every individual I encountered for the past 48 hours. I was struggling with severe nerve pain in my cheek as well as a loose filling that had resulted from negligence at my prior dentist. When the pain was more than I could tolerate I was referred to JJ Dental and after reading the reviews I was hopeful that I would find help for my pain. Dr. Rob is nothing short of amazing and a perfectionist with his craft. He had an answer for every question that I directed his way and he sat with me trouble shooting the pain until we had a treatment plan in place. He found the source of the pain as well as placing two new permanent crowns in my mouth in under 2 hours. Today I successfully chewed food on both sides of my mouth, which I haven’t been able to do for months. My crowns were such a perfect fit thanks to 3D imaging and the skill of this office that my Invisalign retainers that I arrived with still fit after the treatment. My insurance was accepted and filed within 24 hours. The office coordinator squeezed me in the first day they returned after a holiday weekend despite my being a new patient. The office is clean, beautiful and efficient. If you are in need of a new dentist, look no further. The staff as well as Dr. Rob will make it the easiest transition you could imagine.
Fantastic experience: JJ Dental is leaps beyond any practice I’ve ever visited. That’s the reason they’ve earned my ongoing patronage as a patient for close to a decade now. My only regret is I wish I found them sooner. I’ve received fillings, root canals, caps/crowns, cleanings, emergency visits for bonding, Invisalign and veneers through them. Zero complaints. I’d challenge anyone to find a better practice in Broward.
Fantastic experience: An amazing Dental Center! Highly recommended. I have been receiving services from Drs. John and John for many years now. All employees here are very friendly and professional. Dental Hygienist Olga is very skilled and efficient. I recently interacted with Dr. Rudy for the first time and he was amazing as well.
Fantastic experience: Since relocating to Fort Lauderdale two years ago, I've entrusted my dental care to this exceptional practice. Their commitment to clear communication and honest operations has consistently impressed me. Recently, I explored the possibility of getting veneers, and I was blown away by how seamless they made the entire process. From routine cleanings to more complex procedures, this dental office has proven time and again that they're not just skilled professionals, but also genuinely caring practitioners who prioritize patient comfort and satisfaction. I couldn't recommend them more highly for anyone seeking top-notch dental care in the area.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient at JJ Dental for almost 10 years now and all I can say is every visit whether it’s been for a routine cleaning or dental surgery it’s been the best experience. From the amazing friendly staff to the top notch professionals and to the furry greeters (3 frenchies) 10 stars from me! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Cute clean office with such happy and friendly staff. I was surprised to see such great energy at a dentist office but it was refreshing. I got a teeth cleaning and it went great. They were very informative along the way and the cleaning seemed to go quickly. The dentist was very nice and communicative and honest. Probably the best experience I’ve had at the dentist in years.
Fantastic experience: I had my first visit yesterday. Everyone was great and super friendly. Dr. John made me feel comfortable as I have had several bad experiences with dentists in the past. I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest so the lovely girl who took my X-rays quickly took my blood pressure and my pulse was 121. After being in the chair in a few minutes I quickly calmed down and the rest of the visit was seamless. The reason for my visit was that I had a crown come off of my implant and they got me in right away. I am so happy I found them.
Fantastic experience: Masssiel was awesome as always. I've never had less than a pleasant experience at JJ dental. I referred my neighbor there about a month ago and she shares the same sentiments
Hey Briscoe, We're glad to hear that you had a positive experience with us! Thank you for choosing JJ Dental as your dental care provider, and we hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: I have been using the dental services of J & J Dental since 2019. I have always been very impressed by their level of professionalism and care. They use very modern and state of the art dental tools and technology; from the bi-yearly check ups and cleanings, to fillings and crowns.
Negative experience: Went in for a regular cleaning, got sold on a deep cleaning that I probably didn’t need… After that they told me I needed to change some filings, worst mistake ever, is been longer than a year and my teeth still hurt which sucks because I had 0 issues before. Told them about it on the following visits because they asked how it felt and they just dismissed it, a few months after they told me I needed to swap the fillers on the other side, and told them I wouldn’t…. Place really sucks only positive thing about it is the cool dogs and the friendly front desk. I really really miss being able to eat pain free :(
Negative experience: Not at all happy. 1st visit they charged me $650 outside of my insurance, for a deep cleaning, I'm not sure I really needed. Never really explained why I needed it. Never had any issues before. And charged me before I even got the procedure. Then booked me an appointment 3 months later then canceled it the day before, with out my authority. When I book an appointment I expect you to honor our agreement. They seem more interested in making money than caring about their patients. I was on the fence about this practice now I'm looking for a new Dentist.
Fantastic experience: Best experience from the moment you walk in till the moment you leave. Eveyone at the front desk is very attentive and answered all of my questions. Anthony’s the beat hygienist and constantly asking how I’m doing while giving me the best clean ever. Dr Rudy is a great dentist explains treatment and provides options. Checking out and seeing my options for treatment plans goes very seamlessly. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: I get a cleaning every three months. I really do not like going to the dentist. It makes me very stressed. Anthony is wonderful. The entire staff is wonderful. Kristen is super knowledgeable and warm. i’m definitely not changing Dentist ever again
Fantastic experience: I am surprised I haven't left a review before. Best dental practice in our county ! Both locations are excellent: from reception, coordinators, the hygienist, and the docs. Really personable and reliable. I switched to them after 20 years with my previous practice who declined in their quality.
Fantastic experience: After breaking my teeth in an accident when I was kid, I got veneers when I was really young that had run their course and needed to be replaced. Im thankful I found JJ Dental after a negative experience at another dentist nearby. I had a bad cant and also a severe gummy smile that I wanted to correct but I was terrified of the gum surgery. My case was pretty complicated. Dr. Pike (periodontist) and Dr. Rudy (DDS) were obvious experts and also extremely kind and compassionate and made me feel completely confident and at ease. They worked as a team on my case which was a huge relief after being passed from specialist to specialist without them communicating with one other at the other dentist. Dr. Pike eliminated my gummy smile and it was a totally painless, easy experience. Dr Rudy kept coming in throughout the procedure to check on me. Dr. Rudy was endlessly patient with me and created my dream smile including all of my nitpicky details and I could not be happier. Unlike the other dentist, he noticed my cant immediately and corrected it. My teeth look so natural. Don’t go anywhere else in Fort Lauderdale for veneers. Thank you Dr. Rudy, Dr. Pike and the entire team at JJ Dental.
Fantastic experience: I recently changed from a dentist that I used for a very long time to JJ Dental and I could not be more satisfied. They do not hound you harass you call you to spend money with them. They take care of you! They make you feel like you’re at home they didn’t excellent job replacing my veneer with a crown. Dr. John is the best I highly recommend JJ Dental!
