'I was looking for a TMJ specialist and Dr. Falco came up in my search. He helped me go from a completely locked jaw to totally functional again. The whole team here are awesome. I continued staying here for the rest of my dental care because I think they are great. Even with a 30 minute drive for me its worth it! They are great!'
'I highly recommend Dr. Falco and his amazing staff!! Our entire family visits regularly for cleanings and braces for the kids. We love being able to go to the same dentist for all our dental needs! Schedule todayyou will be glad you did!!!'
'Ive been going to Dr Falco for about 10 years now and have gotten more work done than I care to admit. They are fantastic. I work in healthcare and have two cousins that are hygienists so I am very particular with incredibly high standards. Joanne provides outstanding patient experience and does an amazing job of keeping you informed before, during, and after any work they do. If I could convince her to work in East Orlando, Id try to hire her away! Their multi-medication method of applying local anesthetic is both painless and fast. Dr Falco is personable, has great chair-side manner and has impeccable technical skill.'

As a new patient, I had a great experience with my first appointment. The staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful. The office was clean. The Dental Hygienist did a fine job with my cleaning and offered helpful dental tips for home. Dr. Falco performed a thorough dental exam, explained my condition in terms easily understood, and listened carefully to my concerns. The visit never felt rushed, and there was no up-selling pressure. I believe I made the right choice for my dentist. I highly recommend Smile Design Studio.

Me and my son went for our regular cleaning. Vanessa is a very kind and professional dental hygienist. Knows how to treat people and especially kids, always tells what she's doing next so my son won't be scared. It's been our second time we were there. And we will definitely come back.

Was received with a great smile by Julie she is awesome! My hygenist Daren was great! I would recommend him to everyone only because he is so gentle and talks to you while you are getting your cleaning to distract you in case you are nervous, which I was, but he did a grate job! Thank you Daren for a great job! And thank you to the team and Dr Falco great people, this is definitely my new dental office, the office is very clean and they sanitize everything and that makes me feel good. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone and everyone
