Tampa Dental: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Very helpful in setting up appointments for myself and my wife. We haven't been there since 2010. Glad to be back. Another dentist gave my wife and I am estimate of $20,000 each to fix our teeth. Tampa Dental estimated about $800. Very glad to be back.
Fantastic experience: I Can’t thank Tampa Dental enough - Dr. Nick and his entire staff and Charlene - for their flexibility and professionalism these last couple of months when I had needed more appointments than expected! I am so thankful to have a dentist who I have faith in! I highly recommend Tampa Dental.
Fantastic experience: Tampa Dental is a great experience, friendly, caring staff and dentist. I recommend them highly
Fantastic experience: Dr. Nick, had comprehensive explanation of where the pain might be and suggested treatment options. Very happy with his honest treatment.
Fantastic experience: I love going to Tampa Dental. I love the staff, especially my hygienist.
Fantastic experience: First time visit with my 82 year old mom . Staff was very friendly and helpful. Initial exam was explained well so my mom was able to understand and knew what to expect . Dentist ( Nick ) was very professional and patient in explaining . We are very comfortable with everyone there and will seek there care and support . Thank you all so much
Fantastic experience: Always a great experience at Tampa Dental. Dr Nick and his staff are excellent.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly office staff, dentist and as amazing and thorough, and they got me in for a cleaning right after my appointment at the last minute. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Nov 2025: My wife and I went in for our regular check up and cleaning and in keeping with their routine the staff and technicians were on point as usual. There was a minor glitch with their system as we updated our information as I attempted to change our address however, it was quickly resolved. May 2025: My beautiful wife, Sandi, and I had our annual cleaning, and we truly appreciate Dr. Kristina and her team. NOV 2024 Update . We recently returned from our annual vacation for a check-up and cleaning, which was as expected, quick and painless. Fortunately, they detected an old metal issue in the mouth, which we are scheduled to remedy soon. I love the way Dr. Kristina and her team take care of my beautiful wife and me. Thanks much to the whole dental health team at Tampa Dental! This dental office has my highest endorsement! JUNE 2024 UPDATE! Another major expense worth every penny. So, the old Master Gunnery Sergeant developed a crack in one of his fangs, which required professional dental attention. (Likely damaged from 30 years of teaching the toughest profession on the planet, U. S. Marines, Marine Corps Martial Arts). Dr Kristina made herself immediately available to assess and evaluate my situation. Although she couldn’t take immediate action (root canal) due to her very demanding schedule taking care of her scheduled appointments, she referred me out to an associate who Dr. K is friends with. (It’s nice to have friends). The follow-up with Tampa Dental resulted in Dr. K and Ulia (sp?), her wonderful assistant who is artistically talented with outstanding attention to detail, creating a perfect replica cap as a replacement for this old dog’s retired fang. The cap was replaced just in time for my beautiful wife and me to begin our summer road trip into the sunset . Dr. Kristina and her team have my highest recommendation for the very best Dental Care! SEMPER FI! _________________________________________________ My beautiful wife, Sandi, and I are recent retirees who relocated to FL. We visited a “conveniently located” dental office to establish ourselves as new clients and schedule a cleaning. We walked away NOT satisfied with the visit. We decided to research other dental offices as we have excellent insurance and desired outstanding results from cosmetic as well as regular dental care. Tampa Dental stood out, so we set up a visit for counseling. The first thing we noticed was the pleasant greeting and acknowledgement as soon as we walked in the door. Next, we noticed that the people there before and after we arrived were called back within minutes. Sandi went back for her counseling session, and I waited in the waiting area. When the initial meeting was over, Sandi informed me that we had just discovered our new dentist. Dr. Kristina Villafria is an outstanding person of integrity and highly intelligent and skilled. The anxiety often associated with dental care is alleviated through the professional application of dental practice with experienced hands. The staff are very gentle and thorough while working with their clients. Tampa Dental is a much further distance, however, we have decided that the drive is worth maintaining the best smiles for miles and miles. Thank you, Dr Kristina and staff, we appreciate you and look forward to seeing you soon. Best regards, San&Tone
Fantastic experience: Dr Kristina and all her staff are exactly who you want for your dental team. All the dental work I have had completed has been top notch. TY to everyone from the front desk to all those in the back helping the amazing Dr Kristina help all of us. Live my new smile so much.
Fantastic experience: Excited to start my Invisalign journey!! Thanks so much for doing such a great job explaining the process, getting my attachments in place and getting the minimal spacing needed. Your office is always professional but friendly and I love that treatment always has my comfort as a priority. Can’t wait to love my smile again!!
Fantastic experience: Dr Nick and the entire practice team are friendly and professional. I've had fillings replaced, a crown , routine maintenance and all of it handled with care and dental success! My regular Dental Assistant, Brittany is one of the best I've experienced. Always with a smile, makes me feel like a known patient and not just another appointment, and her expertise with the scraping, cleaning and polishing are accompanied with a delicate touch always being aware of how might feel to the cleanee. The office team is outstanding, efficient, helpful and welcoming. A great dental practice led by awesome Dr Nick. His skillful knowledge and thoughtful approach to progressing my dental care is appreciated...especially when your first appointment is for a broken molar! Recommend highly!

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Tampa Dental!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tampa Dental is truly above par — simply the best! From the moment we walked in, the entire staff greeted us with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. The atmosphere is welcoming and efficient, setting the tone for a top-notch dental experience. A special thank you to Justine Gunderson, our dental hygienist, whose extraordinary knowledge and gentle yet thorough cleaning technique left both of my sons (ages 15 and 17) saying it was “the best cleaning they’ve ever had!” That says it all! Her attention to detail, calm manner, and expert approach made them feel completely at ease while delivering results that exceeded expectations. Dr. Nick Kavouklis was equally impressive — his transparency, deep expertise, and use of high-tech X-ray imaging gave us complete confidence in the care being provided. He takes the time to explain every step and ensure you fully understand your dental health. From start to finish, Tampa Dental delivers excellence — exceptional care, cutting-edge technology, and a team that truly goes above and beyond. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience going back to my old dentist this is the best dentist office I've been to in Tampa happy to be back it feels like home.
Fantastic experience: Tampa Dental has seen to my dentistry needs for the last 5 to 6 years. Generally I only need cleanings and annual checkups. However, with age, old dental work has started to age and need attention. I recently lost a crown while flossing. I was able to get in within a couple of days and it is now back in place. I'm very happy with my dental care at Tampa Dental.
Fantastic experience: Such a wonderful dental practice, Dr Nick and all of the staff are so caring and go above and beyond in caring for their patients. I highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: I’m relatively new to the area and found Tampa Dental doing an online search, wow, what a home-run! I was greeted with a smile and hello the minute I walked in, my hygienist, Sheryl was exceptional. Very thorough, professional, knowledgeable, and gentle. She explained every step and stopped on occasion to offer helpful suggestions. Dr Nick was just as amazing, dare I say the best dental exam, cleaning and experience I may have ever received. I am so thankful I found Tampa Dental, I can’t say enough good about the entire staff involved from end to end. I highly recommend you to check them out, you’ll be glad you did.

Fantastic experience: They are all so very friendly there. Brittany is still amazing. She was very gentle and so easy to talk to.

Positive experience: Even though my dental hygienist knew her stuff and articulated it to me very well, she had no social skills at all. I've already asked for a different one for my next visit. Maybe her next patient, she'll introduce herself with her name and ask me mine....
Fantastic experience: My latest visit to Tampa Dental was terrific. Justine was my hygienist and did an excellent job of cleaning my teeth. I had a few questions about some recent dental work and she was very knowledgeable of the reason for the work and explained it so I could understand.

Fantastic experience: Our experience with Tampa Dental was exceptional. We had a dental emergency and they were able to get my child in immediately. They made him feel safe and comfortable. He left there with a smile and confidence. Thank you for providing us with excellent care.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Tampa Dental for a little over a decade and they have been nothing short of excellent. Each staff member from the moment you step thru the doors are very friendly, caring and professional. The hygienist treat you with ease and care which makes going to the dentist a great experience. Dr. Nick is awesome and so was his dad when he treated me. They put your needs first and ensure you're walking out their doors with a million dollar smilie .

Fantastic experience: In pain, they got me in right away! Thorough exam, at the end of the day the solution was simple and left feeling confident with their diagnosis!!
Fantastic experience: My dental hygienist at Tampa Dental is Kathy. She does an excellent job. I never have to wait, she takes great care of my teeth, advises me on what to do, and she is always with a smile on her face. I recommend her and the entire staff at Tampa Dental.
Fantastic experience: Update: Immediately after posting my review, they reached out to resolve the issue. They went above and beyond to get me scheduled for an appt with my preferred hygienist and took good care of me. I'm so glad because we have enjoyed using this office for many years. I'm updating my review after using this office for a couple of years. I have sensitive gums, and I've had a couple of hygienists that left me feeling very sore. Previously they were understanding and suggested a specific hygienist. There was supposed to be a note on my account not to switch my hygienist. However, the one I was scheduled with moved out of state, and they switched me without telling me. This is the second time they've done so. When I called to talk to them, the lady who answered is not understanding of my concerns at all. She can't understand that my issue is with them rescheduling me and not telling me rather than with the hygienist leaving state, which obviously they can't control. Had they told me when the issue arose, I might not have had to schedule in August with the one hygienist that's been gentle in the past (assuming she is still there in August ...).
Hi Heather! Thank you for your feedback. I have reviewed your records and you have every right to be upset with us. We definitely should have communicated better with you. We will be reaching out to speak with you and see if we can get you in sooner and rectify our mistake. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Very clean office and patient rooms, plus very courteous staff,and Doctors and assistants! I'm a first time patient and they got me in right away same day I called with tooth pain!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to this practice for over 35 years and have always had a good experience. The staff is professional but also comfortable and friendly. The hygienist, Sheryl, was very good and extremely knowledgeable in her job.
Fantastic experience: Always a nice visit with the hygienist when you see Brittney. She is professional, caring and very attentive. Glad she is there!!
Fantastic experience: I had a really bad experience with a few other Dentist and this Dr made me feel safe! Explained everything very well and made me happy to say i will most definitely be going back to them for all my yearly appointments!
Fantastic experience: I have seen Dr. Kristina Villafria for the past couple of years at this location. She is excellent, professional, and personable. Have had her for both routine care and a crown placement. All the staff members are helpful and pleasant. Dr. Villafria is not listed on the Tampa Dental website yet, which is a shame.
Fantastic experience: Ms Kristine and her staff are amazing. They are very professional and listen to my concerns. I have had a bad experience with another office for last 3 years and she understood. I recommend this office to everyone. My family has established her and the staff has our primary care going forward.
Fantastic experience: Dr. K and his staff are probably the friendliest, helpful and professional dental staff I have ever dealt with. I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I started seeing Dr. Nick's father back in 1979, Dr. K. He remained my dentist until he retired and then turned me over to his son, Dr. Nick. No one I know likes to change their dentist, but I have to say that Dr. K trained his son very well. He genuinely cares about his patients and makes sure that you are comfortable during each visit. Ditto to his entire staff. Over the years, I have referred some of my friends to Tampa Dental and will continue to do so.
Fantastic experience: Every visit to Tampa Dental is a pleasure. One could not ask for better clinical care. Additionally, the staff are a delight, everyone warm and helpful, making a visit a hapoy experience. Superb.
Fantastic experience: Beyond Great! I chipped my front tooth (just a little, but enough to drive me crazy) and I literally walked in. They were able to squeeze me in and Dr. Kavouklis fixed the chip. Very professional and extremely trustworthy. I told him to do what he felt would be best and my front teeth look better than they did before the chip. My entire family goes to Tampa Dental and has been very happy. I highly recommend!!!!
