Stanley Richard A D

I had my teeth cleaned by Pamela Myers this morning and it was a wonderful experience! Got me right in and out on time. I use the nitrous oxide for a little extra relaxation during my visit and it worked spectacularly! No discomfort no anxiety in my blood pressure was lower at the end and it was at the beginning!

Dr. Stanley is awsome. No huge wait in the waiting room. Entire staff is friendly. If you work with Trish, she is extremely intelligent and talks to you as if you've been friends for years. If you need a new dentist, look no further.

I had to have a duel procedure that I was extremely nervous about but upon entering the door at the Smile Center, I immediately felt more at ease as the compassionate and caring staff went above and beyond to make me feel safe and trust that I was in great hands. Dr. Stanley's excellent expertise, coupled with his genuine goal to make each patient know he has THEIR best interest in heart, completes the circle of trust they ALL truly deserve. Thank you Dr. Stanley and staff! You are the best!

Dr Rocha, DMD is an amazing doctor she is so gentle and caring as is all of the staff at the Smile Centre. I had a crown that fell off. The crown had been put on by another dentist and she was able to reset the crown. Saving me over $1,000 dollars by not having to get another crown made. I have always been very pleased with the care I have received at the Smile Centre.

I like that Dr. Rocha and her assistant listened to my concerns and how they explained in detail the procedures they were going to do for me today. Thank you for caring. Donna Whitacre ~ Sarasota, FL

Over my 77 years I've been fortunate to mostly have had good to excellent dentists. Dr. Stanley and his staff are certainly at the excellent end of that scale. I can't imagine anyone better suited to my beyond ordinary needs than Dr. Stanley.

The Smile Centre, Mike Stanley and the team of doctors and all the staff, far exceeded my expectations for dental care. They scheduled me for an emergency appointment for tooth infection when other offices had failed to see the urgency (extreme pain and bleeding) and I am feeling better in only a couple of days. I had a fractured tooth that I personally opted to have extracted (back molar) and it was painless and very quick. They were courteous and below quotes I had received in pricing elsewhere and done in a matter of a day. Others failed miserably. Thank you team Smile Centre (Team Stanley!)

There was miscommunication when scheduling my first appointment with the office. I was coming in for a cleaning which wasn't scheduled. The dentist squeezed me in a spot where a previous patient had cancelled, and provided the cleaning herself. I can't thank them enough for accommodating me during this time. You guys are amazing

I want to first clarify that my latest visit with my cleaning has nothing to do with the person I had! She was very nice and professional. Over the course of my time as a patient here, I personally feel a little bullied with the comments made by previous staff and doctors. My teeth are worn (I am aware) but it would be nice if there was some professionalism in the space.

I was once asked if I do party drugs because of status of my teeth. Ok, that was funny but lol what? (Im a teacher. If I had that kind of money, the answer would be yes, so I wouldn't have to remember the Smile Centers audacity). I was also told by another visiting technician that I had the mouth of a 90 year old. Again LOL but seriously? She proceeded to say that she was in her late (60's I believe) and that I should not have such worn teeth at my age.

I understand the company has a sales pitch that they tie into their patients health and well being. but I am asking for some more class in the future. If I was looking for this kind of entertainment I'd participate on Comedy Central's Roast. Have a great day everyone

As a recent transfer from another Dental Office in LWR (dentist retiring), I have to agree this Dental office offers First Class-Hands Down attention to detail, safe environment w/100% staff wearing masks, professionalism & relaxed attitudes to make my visit stress free! (Yes, if you can imagine the staff really seem to enjoy their work & each other!

Very rare in my experience of dental offices) After having both a crown & couple fillings done in the short time that I've attended. I have to admit, I feel like family already! Thank you Smile Centre Staff.you have really kept me smiling!

I love going there for my teeth everyone is so nice and warm. Dr. Stanely is the best dentist I've ever seen very sweet and good at what he does.

Dr. Stanley and staff at the Smile Center continues to do a very professional service and are state of the art in dentistry. After leaving the area for over ten years and of course going to other dentist around the country. Dr. Stanley and staff are definitely the best. I had work done by Dr. Stanley in 2004 and every other dentist that I have gone since leaving has commented and admired the great work that he did on my teeth. Sure is good to be back in the area and to get such good service again by my dentist.

Earlier this year, my TMJ had gotten so bad that it was creating large masseter muscles that were super noticeable. I was constantly getting headaches from clenching my teeth (from both work stress and general stress) and was looking for a professional who can perform Botox masseter injections. The first time I met Dr Stanley we connected instantly (over cleaning pets teeth that we do in our clinic) and I am super comfortable with him!

He made sure I understood everything which kept me calm since the idea of having injections in that area kind of freaked me out. It worked great! And he was amazing at it! I recently went in for the second treatment (a little over 7 months later - usually it's done every 3 - 6 months) and It was quick and easy. My favorite dental assistant is Mike! Mike and Dr Stanley are the best! Highly recommend for Botox Masseter injections :))

I couldn't be happier with this friendly, accommodating, and overqualified staff. Even as a brand new patient they worked me in at the last minute, and outperformed my expectations. They are really over qualified, and so very friendly, they FAR EXCEEDED my expectations, particularly given my particular situation. I would highly recommend this Dental Clinic to anyone needing dental care.

Hannah is a great Hygienists. All stuffs are so friendly. I recommend this clinic to the people who need regular cleaning, dental treatments including cosmetic. Perfect fit for all person who have dental phobia and bad past dental experiences. All facilities and equipments are amazing!

It is always a good day whenever I go to The Smile Centre for my appointments. All staff members are very nice and professional. I always feel at home and at ease no matter what procedure I may be having. Thank you for taking good care of me.

I called Three Smile Center early in the morning and was able to get seen on the same day! Now, I'll start by saying I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist. When I first walked in and was greeted by the front desk. Then, I met up John (dental assistant) who eased a lot of my fears and made me feel comfortable. Lastly, the Doctor came in and explained my options for the procedure.

From start to finish this is by far one of the best practices that I have ever been to. Thank you all for making me feel comfortable and helping ease my fears and anxiety. I am looking forward to start working on my million dollar smile

One of my favorite things about Dr Stanley and all of his staff is how genuine they all are. During my first new patient exam, Dr Stanley took his time to explain everything thoroughly and answer any questions I had. During my second appointment, Kimmy the hygienist did a phenomenal Job cleaning my teeth! Right after my cleaning I had my appointment with Dr Stanley to go through with my treatment.

I was completely at ease the entire time. Both Dr Stanley and his assistant Christine were extremely gentle and kept me updated throughout the appointment. I am very pleased with my results and I am so grateful that I have found a great Dentist and sincere staff that I can trust with the health of my teeth!

Today I had an amazing dental visit with Dr. Bojko and her staff at the Palm Aire location! Her assistants (Christine and Jayden) really helped me feel at ease during my visit. My fillings were done quickly and efficiently all thanks to Dr. Bojko! Five stars to this office for their high quality of care and high quality dentistry!

I highly recommend the Smile Centre. They addressed all of my concerns and put me at ease when it came to insurance coverage. Dr. Kulaga's comprehensive exam is extremely thorough. He checked me for EVERYTHING and did not recommend any unnecessary procedures. Special thanks to Brooke and George for their outstanding personalities and making the dentist visit enjoyable.

These people ROCK! Dr. Rick Stanley and his staff blew my socks off. He captured where I wanted to go with my smile. When I was afraid of making a decision on color he knew just what I wanted. Brooke, Kasey, George, Chris, and The Smile Centre Team were so pleasant, professional and upbeat. I was quite impressed by these people and I am a perfectionist when it comes to my teeth. Painless, top-of-the-line dentistry.

I am almost speechless regarding the final outcome. I LOVE MY SMILE plus they don't nickel and dime you to death. I say "pay the man, " have a seat and you'll come out looking better than half of the folks in Hollywood. Nah, this guy is BETTER than Hollywood.

Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable. They make you feel at home and go above and beyond from start to finish. So happy to have found my new dentist!

Relaxing, wonderful experience from check-in to check-out. All staff greeted me with enthusiuasm and care. Hygenist, Linda, spoke to me throughout my cleaning, educating me on several things. Dr. Stanley, kind, caring, good listener. No rush to move on to the next patient. He truly cares about your concerns. Exceptional dental care in a warm, welcoming environment.

What an amazing experience! I have dreaded going to the dentist all of my life! I felt comfortable the moment I stepped foot into their office! Friendly upbeat caring staff! They have all of the new technology! They even have a instrument that basically power washes your teeth and makes them white! I highly recommend this office for all of your dental needs! They do everything there from Botox to orthodontics! Thank you Dr. Ringwald, Brette amd Kara! Love my smile!

The Smile Centre SAVED MY SMILE. I came to them with decreased confidence and discouraged after a less than positive experience with a prior dentist. I made an appointment based on recommendations from 2 different friends. 5 minutes into my first appointment, I felt positive and relaxed. Before I knew it, I had 5 staff members around me all helping me in formulating a plan. Grace is AMAZING and is walking me through this whole process, always making me feel as though I am the only patient in the practice on every visit. Starting with Brian at the front desk to all of the staff in the back, everyone makes you feel important.

Their equipment is unbelievable and state of the art and the staff is professional and always welcoming. My only regret is that I did not find them sooner. I have recommend them to everyone.

I went here for an emergency extract and they were kind, gentle and helpful! This isn't my dentist as I am an out of towner, but it will be moving forward. All the staff are great!

One of the WORST dental offices I have ever been to of over 30 dentists and dental schools. I went to see Dr. Stanley several times years ago and had a devastating experience. I have an underbite and a crossbite along with various issues that I had not been able to take care of until now, in my late 20s, as I went away for university and moved for work. Financially, braces were not possible as a child.

My teeth were in healthy shape despite the bite. The visit was standard, the personnel standard. However, the real problem was when Dr. Stanley, upon seeing my case, said, "Wouldn't you want to be beautiful? A jaw surgery would bring out your cheek bones." This is simply unacceptable to tell a 17 year old teenager at the time, much less anyone else. Implying that the point of seeking dental care was to remedy aesthetics (no one could tell I had any issues when I smiled, except myself), and not function (my bite touched only on one tooth, making it very difficult to eat anything beyond stews or soup for years).

He then recommended me to his son, an "expert" though having only attended FSU and a dental school in Vegas, he promised the world and couldn't deliver. Having done extensive research since (being a scholar), I learned that their long-term success rates for complicated dental cases was much lower than other specialists in FL. Stanley recommended 3k worth of tests, models, etc. and then said he couldn't help me unless I had my jaw broken (upper and lower) and reset.

This would have entailed months of having the jaw wired, risking paralysis in the face, tooth loss, bone loss, etc. This was after he promised, upon assessing these tests, that surgery would not be necessary and other remedies were possible. This would have also forced me to take months off from my PhD program and months off from work. Since, I have been recommended to a doctor in LA who is not only qualified to handle my case, but is correcting my bite, which Stanley said was impossible to fix without surgery. Stanley also quoted me at 74k versus the 14k I am currently paying someone who specializes in fixing complicated bites.

Even if I had not been living in LA, I would have flown here (as many others have) to see this LA specialist understanding what I know now. Not only did I avoid traumatic intervention and potentially a second surgery (with jaw reconstructions, (patients often need a second surgery as the surgery itself, w/ braces. cannot predict the outcome), I avoided working with someone who did not believe in my rights as a patient, did not listen to what my needs were, and lacked the skill to properly diagnose and handle my complicated case.

If Stanley had just admitted that he couldn't handle my case, that would have been preferable to the heart ache he put my family through. Beyond simple cases and cleanings, I would not recommend this office. This office DOES NOT specialize in non-invasive techniques and their prices are much higher than other offices (despite the fact that they don't invest in the highest materials to make such a high price quote worth while).

There are a handful of more talented dentists in the SRQ area alone (who recommended me to said doctor in LA for more continuous care). If you have a difficult case, please do your research and see more than one specialist (if you're able). This is your health and your life you are risking.

Dr. Stanley is great dentist, and has an excellent chair side manner. He fixed my bite and my sister's bite! We could not be happier. The Smile Centre is also very good at submitting my bills to my insurance which allows me to be reimbursed quicker! The dental cleaning done by Pamela was gentle and thorough. In addition, all the staff at the Smile Centre are just so nice! I have no pain going to the Smile Centre, and that makes me smile!

I've been coming to the Smile Centre for several years now. Their staff is friendly and the care is gentle. I have had a crown done, my fillings replaced to white, my teeth a lined with Invisalign, all done by Dr Stanley. The difference in my smile since coming here is nothing short of AMAZING. I look at old photos and only wish I had come here sooner.

Their recommendations on self cleaning and care have made my guns stay healthy, my teeth stay white and my care visits short as I haven't had a problem since. I recommend Dr Stanley and all his staff. Two big thumbs up!

I was fortunate to be introduced to The Smile Centre and the wonderful staff that Always greets me with a smile, listens to my needs and provides the better then expected care. I drive from Tampa to be treated by the best. I'm not going to name names they're all wonderful! I've had some not so wonderful experiences with other dentists trying to rack up charges and not necessarily focus on my true needs.

That is not the case with The Smile Centre. The Smile Centre is worth the drive and I'll continue doing it. PS - Kayla P, your post would be more beneficial to others if you'd provide some detail behind your complaint and how you came to your opinion. How do you measure or determine if a business is a "rip off joint"? Solely based on price? Or is service, skill, expertise, innovation and patient care a factor? Sometimes cheap isn't worth having.

Dr. Stanley is hands down the best dentist in Sarasota. Not only does he do general dentistry, but he also does other stuff like orthodontics too! His work is beautiful, like it's straight out of a magazine. I didn't have to be referred to another office and got all of my dental work done at the Smile Centre. He is extremely gentle and caring - truly an exceptional dentist. His entire staff is wonderful to be around. They care about each and every one of their patients. All of them make you feel at home and totally relaxed. Five stars :

Dr Rife at the Smile Centre is one of the kindest people I have ever met since I have moved to Sarasota. She truly cares, and I will say that if she ever leaves the Smile Centre, I will be following her! She's a wonderful person & a wonderful dentist. I am so happy I choose this place because of her! Also the girls are great, Rosie is really sweet and Brett too! I have had some major work done after an auto accident and they helped me feel so at ease Thanks ladies! R.T

I purchased a GROUPON for the Invisalign treatment and had a very negative experience. Zero communication whatsoever. I ended up getting a refund for the GROUPON and will look elsewhere.
