That's me in the video! My Boynton Beach dental office is conveniently located in the middle of eastern Palm Beach County. I've been here for 24 years. I personally wrote every word in this website, and I took every picture myself. That's my Dad, with his brand new smile, on the left! Below him is our patient, David, who drives all the way from Miami to see us.

If you are really tired of the tradition of spending long periods in waiting rooms, little time with the doctor, and impersonal care, Palm Beach Smiles may be the perfect dental office for new patients. When you arrive in our reception area, you'll be greeted by Jo-Ann, who knows your name. You won't find a closed window with a placard telling you to sign in on the clipboard in front of you.
If there is not an emergency concern, the first visit typically involves a comprehensive exam and diagnosis. This takes approximately one and a half hours. This time is necessary to accomplish several goals. After chatting and understanding your concerns as a patient, we will review your medical and dental histories.
Do you feel like you need a second dental opinion? Have you received a treatment plan that was unexpected? Do you have unanswered questions about your treatment plan from a dentist here in Palm Beach County (or elsewhere)? Dr. Barr's years of experience and conversational style give him a unique ability to explain dentistry in words patients can understand.
A very important question. For the best results, it is important to know the qualifications and experience of the treating dentist. The term "cosmetic dentistry" has become trendy and many dentists are promoting themselves as cosmetic dentists. At this time, cosmetic dentistry is not a recognized specialty (like oral surgery, for example).

Dr. Barr's entire office, is phenomenal. The nurse, Sandy, was vital in making the patient feel Comfortable, empowered and helps the patient's needs/concerns be expressed freely to the doctor. I had all kinds of work done, but mostly I am happy with my smile makeover. It took some time, because I took my time with the process and changed my mind several times, and Dr. Barr was patient with that, and very reassuring and kind and meticulous and worked with my teeth to give me a perfect smile.
I can't be more grateful. If you are thinking of redoing your smile, I'd highly recommend bringing your favorite little mirror along with you. I only figured that out after I was done . It's a life altering experience.

I normally don't write reviews but i feel I must today. I have seen numerous dentist in the past and I have a big fear of going. My wife told me to go to her dentist so I did and I'm so glad I did. I though for sure I was going to lose more teeth or need at least a few root canals. When dr Barr told me he can save all my teeth without a root canal I was shocked. Dr Barr loves what he dose and you can tell. Not once today way I in any discomfort or pain. Even getting the shots of anesthetic Was painless. If you have any fear at all of dentist go here.

My husband and I are new patients here as of today, and I have to say, this has been the best experience I've ever had at a dentist office! The receptionist was a ball of sunshine on the phone, in email, and in person. My husband was still chit chatting with Dr. Barr while my appointment was supposed to start, and instead of cutting them off or just making me waiting the lobby until they finished, the dental assistant took me in and took care of all the x-rays. They are all so thoughtful, personable, and knowledgeable.

We've been to dentists in Jupiter but were unhappy they were corporations that tended to aggressively push treatments. While that's not unethical, it's demeaning to argue when you're paying as you go without insurance. We happened to have mentioned this to our Wisconsin dentist while in for a cleaning and he recommended we try Michael Barr. It's a bit of a drive from Jupiter but we're glad we went! Dr. Barr is the dentist at Palm Beach Smiles.
My wife and I both went for our first visit with back-to-back appointments for screening and cleaning. Kim, the Hygienist has a soft touch but our cleaning was as complete as it's ever been. We had X-rays and Dr. Barr pointed out two old fillings that needed to be replaced. My dentist in Wisconsin had replaced one six months ago and said the others needed replacing within the next year.
I decided to try Dr. Barr for the work and was scheduled within two weeks. I arrived with typical anxiety which Dr. Barr quickly noticed. He said I won't have any pain (been told that before) and he'd talk me through each step in the process. Dr. Barr was very gentle with the numbing process and although I was anxiously awaiting the pain, I soon relaxed when I realized it wasn't going to be painful. Repairing both fillings took over an hour as the two teeth were opposing (upper and lower) and Dr. Barr fussed over the marking and shaping until my "chomp-chomp" was perfect. We're happy Dr. Barr was recommended to us and feel good we have a local dentist we can depend on.

Everybody in the office is friendly and nice. They are truly there to serve the patient and make them feel comfortable. Another very important thing, for someone like me who has always been afraid of dentists, so far no pain at all all. What can I say? It's a friendly office that greets you with all smiles

Dr. Barr is an excellent dentist. He stays up to date on the latest dental technologies, equipment and procedures. Dr. Barr truly enjoys dentistry and it is obvious in his knowledge base and eagerness to discuss procedures in depth with you. His staff Is very warm, professional and accommodating to help with your scheduling needs. Dr. Barr's attention to detail is outstanding and greatly appreciated in the end result.

Dr. Barr is without a doubt, hands down, the very BEST dentist I've encountered in my 60 years of life. He genuinely cares about his patients and does all he can for them. As for the staff, you couldn't ask for more friendly and likeable people in the world. I will recommend him to anyone I know. Let's put it this way: There is not enough good that I can say about Dr. Barr and his office.
If there is such a thing, he is dentist of the year in my opinion. Thank you for everything and we'll never go anywhere else! Another quite satisfying with Dr. Barr today. He is without a doubt one in a million. I have nothing but faith and trust in himself and his work. He is so great with a patient that I still am still so happily surprised with each visit.
He is honest and forthright and works hard for each and every patient, . I repeat my last comment, we will NEVER go to another dentist. It was a great happenstance to find him and one I feel lucky to have found. 3-27-19 Once again a great appointment with Dr. Barr and his fabulous staff. it's almost not an appointment, but rather a visit with friends.
He is without parallel THE BEST dentist I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. If you need a dentist, do not hesitate in any way, shape or form to call Dr. Barr. I've already gone through being totally dissatisfied with Sage Dental. He is the antithesis of what they are not; honest, funny, does great work, and is as human as they get. It was a true blessing to find him.

I would give this DR zero stars if i had the option. Made an appointment for my husband who wanted one specific tooth looked at. After maybe one minute of the DR looking at his teeth my husband respectfully said "its just one tooth i want looked at" This DR slammed his equipment on the table and yelled "i cant do this is am i the dentist or are you!?" Then went to his office and slammed the door like a child!
My husband and even the assistants in the room were extremely confused! We were not sure what happened. Mind you we were only there for a couple minutes! And he was literally with the Dr for maybe one minute! I recommend never wasting your time or money here. This man is extremely rude. He Does not know how to speak to people and will walk out on a appointment if he doesn't like you!

Great dental experience. The entire office is friendly and efficient. Dr. Barr is an excellent dentist who is honest about what work is necessary and what work is recommended. He provides options without pressure. He created a night bite guard for me, and it is the first one I've actually worn. I have had three others (including one VERY expensive one) from other dentists that I never wore because they were so uncomfortable.

I am a new patient at PBS. I very much appreciate the friendly atmosphere and considerate treatment. I am also very satisfied with the quality of care I have received for the two replacement crowns and bonding repair. I'm now getting a new bite guard--I'm hoping it will be one I'll actually wear. Dr. Barr takes his time to get the job done right, and he explains everything he is doing and why he is doing it.
The office is attractive without looking like a boutique. I like being treated as though my business is appreciated rather than being treated as though the office is doing me a favor by having me come there. So far, a great experience!

Highly skilled dentist. The doc is well experienced in doing cosmetic cases and helping people get great smiles. I have seen a lot of his work and it always is spectacular. Plus, he is a hoot too.very funny. His office does not bow to the insurance companies, so he uses the best materials and takes his time to do what is right for the patient.

I have been a patient of Dr. Barr's for about six months and within those six months he has completely renewed my teeth and my smile and made my teeth look beautiful! I have always had severe dental anxiety, but Dr. Barr and his amazing staff have made me comfortable and relaxed at every appointment. I would highly recommend Dr. Barr to anyone who is looking for a dentist that provides flawless work and who is compassionate and dedicated to his job and his patients!
