I had an emergency referral from my dentist to have a procedure done that same day. Thankfully they were able to squeeze me in and they were able to take care of my situation that same day. The staff was professional, the oral surgeon was very skilled, and the office was clean. I am pleased with the service I received at Advanced Oral Surgery-Valrico location. Thank you.

I was incredibly nervous to get my 4 wisdom teeth out, the team made sure I was incredibly comfortable before they sedated me, it was a quick process and they made sure I had the pain medication to ensure I was comfortable when I left for home, the doctors and all the team are incredible and I can't say thank you enough for making this as pain/stress free as possible

This is the best dentist/oral surgeon office I have EVER seen. They are remarkable in every aspect from the front desk, to nurses, to assistants, to surgeons! As a person who is not keen on dental work and visited over 4 offices in the past 2 months, take it from me, COME HERE you will wish you found this place sooner!

Dr. Edwards was excellent! He was very knowledgeable and the surgery was very smooth, quick and painless. The ambient music was amazing! I truly enjoyed listening to James Brown while the doctor was performing the surgery! It was the most comfortable and memorable experience I have ever had at a dentist office in my life. Thank you again Dr. Edwards!

I had 5 teeth taken out, 3 under Anastasia and 2 while awake. Dr Doroshenko was very compassionate and gentle given my nervous conditions. She was very detailed in explaining the options and just a very friendly person. The staff members I interacted with were also very friendly. The office is very clean and modern and has a comforting feel.
