'I came to find information about dentures and was treated like I was a family member. Thank you for your time, treatment, and answers. I will be back and I 've already began sharing my experience with friends. Huge thanks for the honesty! Thanks again Dr McFatter! We will be back for years and years to come!'
'My son had a complicated break of his front tooth a while back and it was not properly fixed by another dentist. The original fix eventually caused discoloration of the tooth and the gum line and he was very self-conscious about it. Thanks to Dr.Dozier, she restored the front tooth over several visits and Im thrilled to see him smiling again.
'Always a good experience there, don 't quite understand why you have to pay before service. Maybe they have had patients walk out without paying. Anyway Drs. Dozier and McFatter are great people. They went the extra mile to help me; just ask anybody there and all will help to make it right. Great experience.'

My mother died the day before before she was able to have her final implants/dentures (having made payments to the full balance), instead of refunding balance, the office made it a zero balance...asked if all the payments could be applied to future family dental work they said no! Disappointing! Unfortunately not able to comment on the actual dental services since they were never rendered.

Went with the mid line dentures. $2100.00 Thought they would be a quality product. Tooth fell out of upper plate before the 1 year mark. They tried to charge us for regluing their substandard work. They repaired with grumpiness and major attitude from front office. Another tooth fell out again after 45 days and now the dentures are out of the window of the year warranty. They wanted $140.00 to once yet again glue the tooth to the plate. They tried to charge a 88 year old Korea war vet on a fixed income for their work that is substandard. This experience has upset him immensely as he isn't eating jaw breakers to make this happen. The front staff NEED some reeducation on dealing with HUMANS who are upset they are having to pay for procedures that should be covered if the business honored their work.

Got work done there about as covid started, so they closed during process for several months. I felt that when they resumed work they might have fallen behind and patients wore thin. As the doctor wanted to do things his way and not what you wanted. For an adjustment, instead of a little and trying it , there was take alot. Then I wound up with two different shades of dentures, although offered to change them I no longer felt confident as the demeanor of the doctor was uncomfortable. Now I had a tooth come out just a little over a year and they want 140.00 to glue it back.

My story isn't your typical dental case. Due to my brain disease and the treatment I've had to have the last 7 years which includes over a hundred different medications, radiation to my head and countless surgeries, my teeth deteriorated quickly. I was terrified of the dentist! Fast forward to August of 2020 and a tumor was found in my Maxillary Gland. I saw a specialist/surgeon here in Tallahassee. He removed the tumor, surgically removed 27 teeth, had bone grafts etc. I went to a dentist here in Tallahassee to start my denture process after the surgery. It was HORRIBLE!! I left in tears and with no plan. Many people had recommended Beachton, so I made my first appointment. I'm thankful I did! The first couple appointments were looking me over, reviewing my case and answering my questions. Lexi and Dr. McFatter listened to every concern and answered every question. I was terrified. I was even more scared because of the experience I had at the previous dentist. But, after talking with Dr. McFatter and Lexi, I was confident they could help me. Lexi especially made my experience more relaxing. She's kind, honest and patient. Dr. McFatter is patient, honest and cares. I have terrible gums now due to all the bone loss and knots that have formed. I had convinced myself I would never have teeth again. But Dr. McFatter and his entire team proved me wrong. He's a true artist. He looked at a picture of me from the past and recreated my smile. He gave me my confidence back! He made me feel like a beautiful woman again! I'm still in the learning process and I'm sure it'll take time to teach myself to chew, swallow and do other things I had taken for granted. But it'll be worth it in the end. Everyone from the front staff to Lexi, Megan, Chrystal and Dr. McFatter himself were amazing to me. They never once made me feel judged. They wanted the very best outcome for me. I will ALWAYS be a patient of Beachton Dental Clinic. As will my entire family. I will forever be thankful to Beachton Dental Clinic.

I've removed my previous review. The staff and the Dr were very courteous through the process, but in less than a year my dentures lost 2 teeth, upper and lower, and then the bottom broke where they were supposed to fix it. They charged $100 to fix it when it was a direct result of their repair(or lack of). They were not cheap to begin with and I traveled 3 hrs each time I needed repairs. Only to be charged even more. This is rediculous to me. And I will be taking my business elsewhere

Nobody in their right mind likes to go to the dentist. The older I get the more impatient I get. I left my last dental office and vowed never to go back because of the long wait. Then my sister told me about Beachton Dental Center. I called to make an appointment and was asked can you be here tomorrow. I was amazed to get in so fast. That was not the only time. Everytime I call, I get in right away. I have never been in an office where I felt so safe from getting the covid virus. On top of all that they are great dentist. Dr. Dozer knows her stuff. She has been right on target in everything she has told me about my teeth. I have new upper dentures for the first time and am amazed at how well they fit. At my age I like telling people where to go and that is to Beachton Dental Clinic. If you have got to go to the dentist, they are the best.

My son had a complicated break of his front tooth a while back and it was not properly fixed by another dentist. The original "fix" eventually caused discoloration of the tooth and the gum line and he was very self conscious about it. Thanks to Dr.Dozier, she restored the front tooth over several visits and I'm thrilled to see him smiling again. She wasn't happy until it looked 100%, even sent back the first cap to the lab for a redo because it wasn't a perfect match. Highly recommend.
