Westchase Smiles Institute - Implants & General Dentistry: Reviews
Fantastic experience: If I could write a review every single day about this wonderful institution I would I have been at war with my mouth for years and thanks to Dr Chilmaza And his amazing staff my battle is almost over i’ve had some bad medical history and some bad experiences with people that called themselves Dentist, and then I found Westchase Smiles. They have been patient kind, compassionate, and have helped me understand everything beyond the normal care protocol to take care of me and I couldn’t be more grateful or thankful, that being said no matter what is going on with your mouth, your smile etc. this is your cure
Negative experience: "I had a terrible experience at Westchase Smiles. On Monday, 08/18/2025, I went in to replace one crown, but they ended up replacing another crown that did not need to be replaced. However, they failed to address a broken tooth which they claimed needed to be crowned ASAP due to heavy decay that would lead to its removal. The temporary crowns they put in were extremely thin and broke the same day. The bottom rear right temporary crown even broke twice, and they had to grind down both teeth again. They claimed they needed to do this because I didn't bite down hard enough for a good image to be seen for the permanent crowns. The quality of the temporary crowns was shockingly poor - they were no thicker than my fingernail. I was also told I had decay in all of my silver fillings, and they wanted to replace all of them. They claimed I had cracked and decay in my teeth, giving me a total out of pocket cost of $4,898. I ended up just paying $1,854 out of pocket before the work was completed, thinking I really needed all this work to be done. The deep cleaning was good, but I'm questioning it since my wife was told the same thing and went to a new dentist, and they did not need a deep cleaning. Her appointment was completed in 1 hour, and they gave her complimentary images. Due to this awful experience and the substandard care I received, I have decided to switch to Tampa Dental Wellness for my dental needs. I strongly advise against choosing Westchase Smiles, as their temporary crowns are inadequate, they failed to prioritize a broken tooth with heavy decay over an existing crown, they may be recommending unnecessary treatments, and they wanted to replace all of my silver fillings claiming decay in all of them."
Thank you for sharing your feedback. While I cannot discuss your specific treatment details publicly due to privacy regulations, I do want to address some of your concerns.
Temporary crowns are designed only as a short-term protective measure until the permanent crown is ready. They can sometimes feel fragile and inconvenient, but their purpose is simply to protect the prepared tooth.
I’m glad to hear that you had a positive experience with our hygiene department—our hygienists are very thorough and meticulous in their care.
Regarding silver (amalgam) fillings, over time they can lose their seal and may hide bacteria underneath. Because of the way these fillings expand and contract, they also have a tendency to cause small fractures in teeth. This is why dentists often recommend monitoring or replacing them when issues are found.
I am truly sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. I respect that you have chosen another provider who better fits your needs, and I sincerely wish you the best with your ongoing care.
If you have any further questions or would like to discuss your treatment privately, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly.
Sincerely,
Dr. Cesar Chilmaza

Fantastic experience: Went in for an emergency visit because my wisdom tooth was hurting bad and they were able to get me in same day for an appointment. That was amazing. The staff. Were all very attentive and super nice about everything. They were able to get both wisdom teeth extracted and have followed up since then to make sure I feel okay and if I had questions they answered them all. Really great dentist. Very thorough in everything. I have now made the switch over and they are my new dentist. I know I’m in good hands here. I highly recommend this spot and their staff are amazing.

Fantastic experience: As a Medical Professional I was very impressed with the customer service I received.

Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you Alejandra for trusting us with your oral health.
Fantastic experience: LISTEN UP!! I broke a molar late last night and this gem not only fixed it this morning, but they let me know my insurance was lapsed and still helped me and took care of everything and I will 100% be back!! Yelling all my friends and family about this place. SERIOUSLY GREAT ! Gentle, caring, informative and helpful!! 11 out of 10!
Thank you so much for your trust. Looking forward to continuing to help you.
Negative experience: I am not happy with this dentist. I went for a cleaning, and the doctor told me I “absolutely have to get this tooth out because it’s impacting other teeth”. I went to two other dentists to get second opinions, and they both said they didn’t know why Westchase Smiles told me that, because it’s simply not true and I don’t need to get the tooth out. Second, I cancelled a procedure with them and asked for a refund (over $1400). I was assured the refund was being processed, but it has been over a month of my waiting for it to process and it still is not being taken care of. Would recommend going anywhere else for your dental work.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sorry to hear that your visit didn’t meet your expectations.
Due to HIPAA privacy regulations, I can’t discuss any specific details of your treatment in a public forum. However, I can say that when making recommendations, we always strive to offer options that help prevent future complications and preserve long-term oral health. In your case, multiple treatment paths were discussed, not just removal, and our goal was to guide you toward an ideal, stable bite.
I’m glad you sought additional opinions and found a provider you feel confident with—that’s an important part of the process, and I respect your decision. I also want to sincerely apologize for the delay regarding your refund. I understand how frustrating that can be, and I will personally look into this to ensure it’s resolved promptly.
Thank you again for your feedback. Communication is key, and I recognize that I may not have been as clear as I should’ve been. If you’d like to speak further or if there’s anything else I can do, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly.
Wishing you all the best and continued smiles,
Dr. Cesar Chilmaza
Westchase Smiles Institute
Fantastic experience: Very attentive! Super quick to fix my dental issues. Have not been to the dentist in 10 years but felt very safe and not judged.

Fantastic experience: I needed an emergency for a tooth. The staff and the doctor were completely polite, patient, and professional. Excellent Service and Ease of Scheduling. Highly Recommend this dental office.
Thank you Marie, I’m so glad we were able to assist you
Fantastic experience: I am just so impressed by all of the staff at Westchase Smiles Institute.. at my first appointment, everyone was so friendly and were more than willing to provide me all the info I needed to understand the treatment plan, and explained it in a way I could easily understand. I was very comforted by Dr. C’s wonderful bedside manner. Also, the hygienist was very empathetic and made sure I was okay throughout the whole procedure. They went above and beyond to make sure I got the treatment the same day as I was leaving for a vacation the next day. If you’re looking for a great dentist, I’d recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone!
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I started seeing Dr Chimaza for my Invisalign. My treatment is almost done, my teeth are looking great! But, this is just cosmetic. What I appreciate the most, is the way how the doctor and staff treated my son after an accident with facial trauma. One of his front upper teeth came out of his mouth and the other got fracture in half. My son had one teeth successfully re- implanted. The doctor rapidly made 2 temporary crowns for the teeth witch was critical to help my son with the emotional trauma and physical appearance. After 2 months of healing the doctor finally replaced the temporary crowns for the permanent ones. I love Westchase smiles!!, they are the best!!!
Fantastic experience: All the people that work there take good care of you and are very friendly. The best
Fantastic experience: I needed an emergency same day appointment due to a cracked tooth causing a lot of pain. Their office got me in within 2 hours of initial call, even though I was a new patient! They diagnosed the issue, gave me options on what I could do regarding my pain and route canal, and even scheduled an appointment at another office for me, on the very same afternoon! I really appreciate how easy and convenient it was to get taken care of. They are also very welcoming and nice!
Fantastic experience: Not enough words to explain how amazing this office is. From the office staff to the actual dentist themselves. Exceptional service all around.
Fantastic experience: Everyone here was amazing! I had a failed root canal and they were able to squeeze me in next day!

I highly recommend you see them for anything dental related!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I hardly recommend Westchase’s smile to all my friends, the service is unique and very professional.
Positive experience: I appreciated the staff snd service but without insurance, the cost was too prohibitive. Doctors way too caught up in their "system"

Fantastic experience: I love everything about this Office. Dr.C. is just a great Dentist, I always feel good when I leave there. Everyone in that office is amazing. I am glad I found that office. JoAnn Pullara
Fantastic experience: My 3 year old daughter had her first appointment for a cleaning today! The staff was wonderful I believe their names were Yani and Trish the hygienist seriously made me and my daughter comfortable. It’s a very nice office as well and the whole staff was great with my daughter. She wasn’t scared at all I honestly think because they did a wonderful job!
Fantastic experience: Great experience. The staff was very nice, and the doctor was very professional
Fantastic experience: What a wonderful doctor and staff. I was very afraid and very anxious of the procedure, but everyone there put me right at ease, They made the entire dental implant procedure effortless. Dr Chilmaza is an absolute gem and the professionalism and compassion they have is off the chain. I haven’t had an ounce of pain for extracting a tooth bone grafting and implant done all in once, I would rate them with every star in the sky if I could! his staff are very kind, compassionate and professional. Great team.
Fantastic experience: Love this office It was my first visit and everyone made me feel welcomed and at ease.. Thank you so much For the excellent care!!!
Fantastic experience: This is an amazing dentist! The doctor is professional, gentle, and truly cares about his patients. The clinic is clean and modern, and the staff is always friendly. I felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout my visit.
Fantastic experience: The best experience...they are very kind and they make me feel confident when they do the dental work.
Fantastic experience: Very thorough and highly professional. All options were presented and explained.
Fantastic experience: My first time visiting Westchase Smiles Institute. Everyone there was very friendly and welcoming, the Dentist Dr. C too. Would recommend anytime to go there for your dental work.
Negative experience: First visit was canceled a few days before my appointment and I was only notified by text that the dentist was suddenly not available. Second visit today I was taken back 45 mins after my appointment and a full hour after my appointment time I was still sitting in the chair with no service started. They couldn’t find the records I sent on from my previous dentist to the email they provided. Not sure I’ll be back. People have jobs and rearrange their schedules for doctor appointments and don’t take the entire day off for a dental cleaning, I feel my time was not respected and I had to walk out as I have a job to get back to - and now I still need a dental cleaning after getting the runaround here. Greeting someone you take back an hour late with “hi pretty girl” is also weird even if intended to be kind. Why in the world are you advertising you do weight loss shots in the lobby of a dentist office? It gives the vibe you’re trying to profit off patients with extra unrelated services a dentist shouldn’t be offering.
Thank you for your feedback and we apologize for the wait. We know your time is important. Regarding the weight loss injections, we understand it might seem unusual in a dental office. However, our goal to support oral health, especially for patients managing conditions like diabetes, where weight management and oral health are closely connected. These services are provided by licensed professionals and align with our commitment to whole-body wellness. We appreciate your input and the opportunity to improve your experience.
Fantastic experience: My experience with this company was extremely positive. I really like the dentist & his staff. Angie went above and beyond. I look forward to getting my new smile started.
We are so happy to hear how your experience went Davy. Our staff is wonderful and Angie is truly amazing. We look forward to seeing you again.
Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure to see Dr. C and his team. Very professional and efficient, with a very friendly and helpful staff!
Fantastic experience: Dental implant was no joke!I survived the grueling part,I think.Thanks to DR C for job well done.GOD BLESS YOU AND THE REST OF THE STAFF.You’re a doctor for life.
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was very kind and attentive. They made me feel at ease throughout the entire appointment, which made my visit to the dentist much more relaxing. I definitely recommend them. Si hablas español, vas a poder comunicarte con todos sin problema. :)
Fantastic experience: Had to get my tooth fixed right away. They were able to fit me in and fix my tooth very fast. I had a pain free experience Thank you!!!
Fantastic experience: DR C and his staff are very friendly. I had 3 teeths pull and a partial put in with no pain..I was very nervous but DR c was great . I am very happy and recommend DR C and his staff.
Fantastic experience: I called on Monday with broken tooth! They had me in the dentist chair on Tuesday and very quickly fixed my issue! Dr C was excellent along with his caring staff!!!
Fantastic experience: LOVE YOU Dr Chilmaza, and your amazing staff. You took such good care of me to create my perfect smile. You genuinely care I appreciate you. Thank you Yanni as well, for answering all my questions and helping me through the initial process.
Fantastic experience: Finally, found a Great dentist & staff that is pleasant & professional. no gimmicks or trying to sell you something you don't need. I would recommend Westchase Smiles Institute.
Fantastic experience: By far the BEST dentist I have ever been to! Cesar and his team are true perfectionist and you can tell they are passionate about dental. They truly have what is best for their patient in mind which is very refreshing. Furthermore, I love how welcoming the entire staff is every time we come in for a visit. When my son loves coming here so much with me that when he was 10 (he’s 13 now) actually requested to stop seeing his children’s dentist with all of the video games and make Westchase Smiles Institute his dentist too. Since the switch, My son looks forward to visiting the dentist!! My family and I will never go anywhere else. We have found our dental home
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Westchase Smiles Institute and Dr. Cesar Chilmaza. For years, I’ve struggled to find a dental office that felt like the right fit, and I was always bouncing from one to another. But from the moment I walked into this office, I knew it was different. The staff is incredibly welcoming, the dentists are highly skilled and compassionate, and the entire experience—from scheduling to treatment—has been seamless. They take the time to explain everything, making me feel comfortable and informed, and I never feel rushed. For the first time in years, I’ve found a dental office I trust and feel at home with. This is the place I’ll be staying with for the long haul!
Fantastic experience: I went to Cesar for a second opinion on a short notice and he and his staff were awesome. Great facility, very clean and extremely professional! Joe Barrentine
Fantastic experience: Today visit with Doctor Chilmaza and the whole time was the most wonderful experience. My treatment plan was very clear and straight forward, no pain and I left here very confident in what the end result will look like! Highly recommend!
thank you so much for the review!! Dr. C
Fantastic experience: Great experience. I had a small tooth damage , was book within the week I called. The service, cleanliness, professionalism was great ! I am so happy with my results!! Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: My overall experience was very professional and comfortable throughout my process. The entire staff was friendly and accommadating each visit and I recommend Westchase Smiles to my family, friends and neighbors!
Fantastic experience: Excellent dental experience from some of the nicest staff. I can't recommend them enough. Very quick and easy visit, using the newest technology to make for a painless experience.
Fantastic experience: Omg I’ve needed my wisdom teeth out for YEARS and they got them out like it was a breeze!!!! Dr. Cesar took them out so fast I was absolutely shocked. Nathan made sure I was super super numb, and Carolina was just a sweetheart, tending to me to make sure the entire experience was a comfortable one. I actually forgot I’ve had a history of being scared of the dentist because it was such a great experience. Honestly really in shock how well it all went. If I knew it was gonna be so easy, I would’ve done it way sooner: no better place to get your wisdom teeth out.
Fantastic experience: I called this morning needing an emergency appt due to severe pain from a cracked/ infected tooth. I was able to get in the same day. I saw Dr. C and he made me feel at ease and hopeful that the pain was going to subside and he was going to help me. He is incredibly kind, great bedside manner & knew exactly what to say to help my nerves relax. The great treatment doesn’t just stop with him! Every employee starting at the front desk (a nice young man & a wonderful lady at check out). I spoke with him when I called to schedule my appt and he was so kind!!! The nurses in the back were very helpful & friendly as well. This office is seriously one of the best ones I’ve been to in awhile. Thank you to Dr.C & his incredible staff!!
Fantastic experience: I took my 94 year old Mama for an evaluation to have an extraction. From the moment we walked in she was treated like a queen. Everyone from the front office to the assistants to the dentist were so kind and compassionate and professional. They were able to remove the tooth and she said it was such a great experience that she is going to continue to use this office as her regular dentist. We went today January 3, 2024 for a root canal And a crown and Dr C and all of his office staff were so Understanding because she needed details of procedure and the cost of the procedure. Everyone is so helpful and patient with this 94 year old lady. Love this office and all of the staff there. 5 ⭐️’s
Fantastic experience: Nathan provides both excellent dental care in the office, as well as great advice for dental care at home (which range from easy tips to start today or which tools to invest in for more thorough cleaning). He is very friendly and easy to talk to, and I would highly recommend anyone in the area looking for a dental practitioner to consider making an appointment with Nathan for your next cleaning.
Fantastic experience: They’re very professional and clean! The experience was the best dental experience I've ever had and the visit was pain free. They answered all my questions and made sure I had everything I needed when I left. He really takes the time to listen to your concerns and gives you expert opinions on treatment and what routes to take. They rock!
Fantastic experience: If I could give them 10 stars I would! Dr. Chilmaza is a very caring doctor and makes you feel like family. His team is amazing too! They care about your treatment goals and make sure you're comfortable during procedures. The office is clean and it's atmosphere is pleasant because everybody here is friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for a dentist, I recommend you 100% to visit Dr. C´s practice. Updated to add experience about last visit... Joanna, you are the best! I went to the dentist last week because I needed a dental crown. Joanna explained the process to me and made sure that I understood all and that I would be comfortable with it. She was very attentive to my concerns and clear when explaining the procedure. Thank you, Joanna! Recent visit: This time, my daughters 6 yo and 3 yo visited the dentist for a dental cleaning. Thanks Nathan, for your patience. You are really good with kids!
Thank you Marlin! We appreciate your review about your experience. We are always happy to see you and have you as our patient. We always provide the best service and practice to our patients.
Fantastic experience: Dr.C was amazing this was my first time at his office and must say I was impressed.His staff was very professional and genuine.I was embarrassed bye how much work I needed they where humble and gracious and made me feel like family.Thank You Dr.C and I thank your Intier staff I will always get all of my dentistry work done at your office God bless all of you!!!
Fantastic experience: Hello all, I am the Hygienist at Westchase Smile Institute. I have been here for over 3 Years now. I wrote this review not only to introduce myself but also because Dr. C is an amazing employer. I literally wake up everyday excited to come to work. If he asked I would probably do it for free! The office is always clean and up to date. Dr. C really goes above and beyond not only for his patients but the office staff as well. Check my Reviews or Come see for yourself. Have an Amazing Day!
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with the Dental Hygienist Nathan La Pointe . He made me feel comfortable even though I know the condition of my teeth aren’t great. He completed my gum and tooth cleaning & made sure that I left this office with more confidence then i had when i walked in. Thank you Nathan & thank you to this entire staff for the wonderful attitude and wonderful environment everytime.
Negative experience: Please don't be mislead by their dancing ads on fb... the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly but I am not pleased with the quality of work that I received! I suggest to anyone before going to any dentist. Please do your homework and read all reviews! Also, you want a dentist with many years of experience and a lab that can cosmetically match your previous teeth! I have been going to a dentist for over 50 years and I know quality work. I had several crowns replaced, and they were not shaped like my teeth...the molars were completely flat surfaced. Over the years, I have been to many dentists, and I know that each tooth numbered has a particular distinctive shape and size. I went back to my original dentist, who immediately removed and re- did my crowns so that I could chew my food properly! Other dentists were shocked at the quality and quickly corrected it!
Fantastic experience: Great over all experience! Dr. Cesar Chilmaza And all of the staff made me feel very welcome. Nathan is friendly and did a wonderful job cleaning my teeth.
Fantastic experience: I went for a consultation with Dr C today and was very impressed as soon as I walked in the door, not your typical Doctors office very well decorated, clean and made me feel relaxed. The staff were all so friendly and Yani Dr C's coordinator was very professional and talked to me as if she knew me for years, definitely took the edge off as I was a little nervous Dr C came in and explained my procedure in detail and asked if I had any questions and made sure I was aware of every step of my procedure. Thanks again Dr C, Yani and staff highly recommend and appreciated
Fantastic experience: Dr. C is a fantastic caring dentist who puts you at easy as soon as you see him. He has a wonderful caring staff, love going there.
Fantastic experience: Family friendly. Knowledgable and expert staff. I could feel what I thought was a crack in the back of one of my bottom front teeth. It was bothering me day and night thinking, “What am I going to do if this thing breaks away and I’ve got a hole in the front of my mouth?” I decided to call Westchase Smiles Institute and make an appointment to get it checked out. As it turns out my teeth are ok but desperately needed to be cleaned thoroughly. They did an incredible job diagnosing my issue and resolving it quickly. I felt the difference in my overall health by the very next day. If you are like me and have been putting off seeing the dentist for fear of this or that, please go see Dr. Cesar Chilmaza at the Westchase Smiles Institute.

Fantastic experience: I recently had a dental cleaning at Westchase Smile Institute and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming. Nathan was professional, thorough, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure. Nathan also took the time to explain my oral health and offered helpful tips for maintaining it. I left feeling confident about my dental care and will definitely be returning for my next cleaning. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Dr C has been my only dentist since moving to Fl 8 years ago. And though I no longer live conveniently close to his office. I still make the trip into Tampa to see him. Why fix what's not broken .
Fantastic experience: After having a terribly cracked tooth for over a year, I ended up in a lot of pain and needing to seek emergency dental help. Dr. C and his staff are not only very professional but so helpful and understanding of your situation and strive to make the office a comfortable place that feels less like a dentists office and more like a fun visit! Even with a complicated extraction the team made sure I was comfortable the whole time. They are so helpful and efficient. Would recommend to anyone with bad dental experiences or those in a lot of pain.
