Im from Lafayette, LA, and am a Cajun girl to my core. I moved to Florida and attended the University of Florida for my Bachelors degree in Microbiology where I graduated Summa Cum Laude. I remained at UF and as part of the Gator Nation for my dental degree. I feel it is essential to stay at the forefront of my field, by participating in continuing dental education I am able to provide my patients with the best care using the most advanced techniques available. I firmly believe a great doctor never stops learning!
I love the personal side of dentistry. I love helping people overcome their fears of dental care and using my gift of communication to make a patient comfortable. Most of the time I can even have them laughing during procedures that many people fear. I truly love my profession and my patients, so I try to have fun with them and my team.
My job is more than a job to me, it is a passion. I feel that through the gifts and talents I have been given, I can change peoples smiles and in turn change their life. I can make a person who is terrified relax and laugh, and I can make the first visit experience for children a positive, fun-filled one.
Being active in the community is important to me because it is the community that has allowed me to become the thriving practitioner I am. Giving back is the least I can do. My children are involved with various community sports and I donate a lot of time to those activities. I help support various nonprofit charities with our office. I also donate a lot of time to various clinics and organizations in the local area.
I have two children, Max and Bailey, who attend local high schools and are very involved in football and softball. The baby of our family is our Frenchie, named Mileaux. When Im not working or at the sports fields with my children, Im consumed with all things DISNEY: D

the worst experience I ever had in this office I had 2 fillings to complete with Dr. Prendi not only was he 45 min late to my appointment, he was going back and forth room to room to busy to talk , when I ask question the estimated time it will take to complete my work he storm off to the next room. so I left ,I will never refer anyone to experience what I went to. the she/he dental assistant was extra rough when doing my cleaning as well. just horrible experience NEVER WILL RETURN HERE NEVER !!!

Amazing dentistry clinic; felt well cared for and had an amazing experience during my visit. Both Doctor and hygienist answered any questions that I had very thoroughly. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a doctor to visit Dr. Prendi and his staff.

Dr. Prendi and the entire staff at San Juan dentistry are amazing! I'd highly recommend them for anyone who needs dental services. Their office is small and cozy which helps ease the nerves for anyone who may experience anxiety with dentists. The staff is friendly and pleasant to speak with. Dr. Prendi is knowledgeable, professional, and calming. Give them a visit for your next dental check up!

My husband and I chose San Juan dentistry at the beginning of this year to start treating some long overdue dental needs. Dr. Prendi is knowledgeable, professional, kind, and calming. I have anxiety and fear surrounding dental work, and Dr. Prendi always makes a point to ask if I'm doing okay consistently throughout each appointment. The whole staff is sweet and accommodating. They take emergency visits too, which was a huge help to me! I have definitely found my new dentist's office and I would highly recommend them to others.

I went into this place with a lot of work to be done, mrs.Ginger and Brandi in the front were so sweet and accommodating. Then I met the dentist and he is soft spoken, very comforting and articulate. He explained everything that needed to be done in depth and very thoroughly. I have anxiety and he has calmed my nerves and helped me get the work done I've needed for so long. I had twelve fillings and four full extractions needed and I got first seen in February I have since gotten all done except two more extractions to go. All very affordable, clean place and practice, great staff and awesome place I'll never go anywhere else. I'll refer everyone here. My wife has started her treatment plan as well. You won't be disappointed coming here!! Best in Jax!! The staff are the best I can't stress that enough!

It was a nice place, but apparently it was purchased by another company wo thought it was a good idea to go through the books and try to collect on missed appointments. Just wow. I moved out of town and then all of a sudden I get a bill for 50.00 for a no show from a year and a half ago.

Thank you Dr. Prendi for taking such care in my most vulnerable stage of my life. After losing all my teeth, your care, compassion and expertise has left me with such a beautiful smile. My friends and family compliment me on how awesome my dentures look. I appreciate you and your friendly staff. Maria Barton

I have usually been intimidated by dentists as they want to scold me for not going on time, etc. which makes me postpone the visits more. But this office made me feel at ease the minute I went through the door. The ladies at the front desk was so pleasant and the dental assistant was gentle, patient and very professional explaining all the process thoroughly. The dentist was also pleasant, explaining what I needed very clearly. Appointment was made to complete the work. I have recommended to several friends.

What a GREAT dental practice! They were all so kind and very patient with my eccentricities. The assistants were all so knowledgeable and super friendly. The front office was on their game too, answering all my questions and offering different options for appointments. THEY EVEN HAVE A DENTAL PLAN ..ya know for us who don't have dental insurance, which saved me alot of money. (They do except insurance as well) And Dr.Tranthum, what a true gentleman! He was so very very patient with me. I have seen Doctors dismiss patients struggling to fight anxiety but not this one I was in the dental field for 20 years so I humbly have to say ... I know a good office when I see it! I usually dont take time to leave reviews but I just had to share what a great place this is.

The Flynn dental group is amazing, HOWEVER it is no longer Flynn dental Westside it is now Dr. Trantham's office Dr. Trantham is an extremely financially motivated man which I admire so am I however when his assistant gave me a $270 consultation to come in I was extremely excited I have a tooth aches and I was ready to pay I got there and I went from 2 cavities to 11 cavities which is OK things happen I cannot blame them because I don't floss. BUT I told them at the time I only have one tooth the eggs me and I would like to pay the 270 to get it done well it went from 270 to 470 when I told him that I didn't wanna pay that today they got so upset with me they told me that he would not be my Dennis anymore and I need to find a new office that was more affordable not only is his staff upfront very unprofessional she got in my personal space and I felt threatened so I immediately left I will no longer return he has not only lost my business to my mothers as well we will never go back to this office we are definitely going to stick with Flynn dental group this is not a Flynn dental group location anymore it is now creating beautiful smiles but you cannot create beautiful smiles with that beautiful employees. They went from being open to five days a week to two days a week because they have not been getting consistent business I understand that and I sympathize however that is not my problem. Bullying me to pay more than we initially agreed upon is unprofessional unethical I apologize that you're not making as much money as you assumed you would and you have to work at other locations I mean that's what your front desk told me anyways however this is not a way to get in better customers buddy. Wish you guys a Lotta luck you're gonna need it.

Chelsea did my teeth cleaning for this year and it was amazing as she always does an incredible job! It's been a long 10 months without getting my teeth cleaned due to Covid. I feel the difference in how clean and great my teeth look and feel. Chelsea is the best dental hygienists I know, she is always thorough and professional. Thank you so much!
