I had major restorative work done by Dr. Dallas when he was in Austin and I could not be happier with the results! It was absolutely life changing! Dr. Dallas prioritizes patient comfort and explains every step of the process along the way. Every other dentist I consulted with recommended that I pull all my teeth and get implants or dentures Dr. Dallas was able to save the teeth I have and restore a natural smile. I had not smiled for years before treatment but now I cant stop! I would highly recommend him for any work big or small!

Draper Smiles is awesome. The staff is professional, knowledgeable, and very courteous. Annie did an amazing job cleaning my teeth. Unlike other experiences where my mouth felt like hamburger, my mouth felt smooth as butter and soft as velvet. Annie was great. Dr. Pessoa is also the best. Lastly, the office and facilities were state of the art and very clean. Overall this was an A++ experience.

For over 5 years now our family has been going to Draper Smiles and receiving, just like they say, World Class Service. From crowns to cleaning, front office to back office … excellent. Yesterday I had the best teeth cleaning from Annie…. The best. Thanks for all the great service!!!Now if I could just find a good tile guy …..

I absolutely love Dr. Pessoa and his team! He made what seemed impossible, possible! My case was very difficult and one that many other dentists turned down. Im 23 years old and I have 9 genetically missing permanent teeth. The only noticeable ones are the 3 missing teeth in the front of my smile next to my two front teeth. Ive always worn a retainer that had fake plastic teeth on it and its something Ive always been insecure about. Many other dentists told me that getting implants was not an option for my mouth. However, I found Dr. Pessoa and he made all of my dreams come true. Dr. Pessoa knew that my mouth wasnt an easy case but he was confident that he could give me what I wanted - a beautiful smile with implants that matched my other teeth perfectly so that no one could detect I had implants. To even hear that implants were a possibility for me filled me with joy and the results are better than I could have ever imagined! Im so grateful for all of the time that Dr. Pessoa put into my case and for the first time in my entire life, I love smiling. I highly recommend Draper Smiles for all of your dentist needs whether big or small, I couldnt have found a better place. Thank you Dr. Pessoa and your team for taking such good care of me and for again making the impossible, possible!

Dr. Pessoa was phenomenal to work with. He walked me through the whole process, discussed the plan and made sure I was happy with the results. The best compliment I could pay him is how natural my teeth look! They dont look like I had work done, they just look better in a subtle way. Extremely happy with my whole experience.

Really SO happy with everything about Draper Smiles. I never grew adult eye teeth and have been experiencing issues with my baby teeth for the last 12 years. I have been researching dentists for the past 6 years trying to find a place I feel completely comfortable with, but I’ve never found it until now!Of greatest importance to me was that Dr. Pessoa and Dr. Hanson took time to meet with me and get a perfect understanding of what I needed and wanted to repair about my bite and smile. I was never encouraged to change anything about my appearance based on cultural ideals of what “a woman’s smile should look like”. That meant a lot to me; Not only did I trust the dentists’ workmanship and skill, but I also saw their respect for me and for each of their patients’ individuality.I’m halfway through my treatment: we’ve just placed the implants and are letting them heal as we prep the next steps. My experience in the office was quick, easy, and painless (how often can you say that about dental work???) I’m 6 days post-op and I’ve been feeling 💯.So so happy with everything that goes on at Draper Smiles. Can’t wait to convince all my friends and family to start going there. 👏👏👏

I got two tooth implants here and had a really great experience. The whole staff was awesome and Dr. Pessoa did great work.Its been 4 or 5 years since I got the work done and everythings been great.Im writing this because I just got done with a cleaning and my new dentist commented on how great my implants look and how the shape of them is very close to real teeth which is apparently very difficult to do.Would highly recommend for implants!

Invisalign straightened my teeth, Dr Pessoa made them look great afterward. The bonding and cosmetic work is what makes all the difference. Seriously I am amazed at what he was able to do. And I can still use whitening. The staff and receptionist are all very friendly, next-level service here!

We love Draper Smiles, and a lot of my extended family goes there to see Dr. Pessoa and his phenomenal staff. I almost hesitate to leave a review because we feel like Draper Smiles is our best kept secret. Well, the cats out of the bag now! Dr. Pessoa is a true artist in cosmetic dentistry! He is also a compassionate and conservative dentist who gives his patients many options to help them make the best decision for the best results within their budget. 😁🦷😀

Such a kind and caring staff at Draper Smiles! I put off going to the dentist for years because of several bad experiences. When I called to make an appointment Chelsea immediately put me at ease and Sandra the hygienist made me feel so comfortable. Dr Pessoa was very gentle and took the time to explain all my options without being pushy. Thank you for making my experience so easy and pain free!

I love this dentist office! The doc is very professional and takes pride in his work. I had a previous dentist that used cheap materials and my fillings and crowns would break after a year.. Until I started seeing Draper Smiles! He takes good care and makes sure its fine right there 1st time! The staff is always great and will do everything they can to get you the appt that is most convenient. The dental hygienist is amazing. All of the staff takes the time to get to know you and make you feel comfortable. I love this place, can you tell?

Dr Pessoa really is the best!! From my very first appointment I felt like he was as interested as I was (if not more!) in improving the look of my smile and was so thorough during the whole process. I got Invisalign and some bonding done, and the results are even better than I could’ve imagined. I love my teeth (for the first time in my life) and am so happy I chose to come here. The rest of the staff was amazing too and I would totally recommend Draper Smiles to anyone!

Dr Pessoa takes great care of his patients and makes the dental treatment process painless. I had several cavities that needed to be filled and was comfortable throughout the entire process, literally no pain. Dr. Pessoa has great skills as a dentist and he is honest with treatment plans. I highly recommend Dr Pessoa and DRAPER Smiles.

I have been going to Draper Smiles for years and have had several cavities filled (I have horrible teeth and a bad candy addiction). My experience has been amazing. Dr. Pessoa is very great at what he does. All of the staff is very friendly! I just got engaged and they even gave me the most thoughtful wedding gift! They sure treat you well from the second you walk in the door. Draper Smiles helps to make the whole dentist experience as painless and even as enjoyable as possible. I would highly recommend them to everyone. I won’t go anywhere else!!

I don’t write reviews typically but my experience has been so superlative that I would be remiss if I didn’t. Dr. Pessoa and his team fit me in to a busy schedule to take care of a problem tooth and every aspect of treatment was above and beyond what I’ve experienced elsewhere - and I have had a lot of good dentists. I look forward to continuing treatment with him and will be recommending Draper Smiles to friends and family.

Dr. Pessoa is phenomenal! Ive had extensive dental work in the past with a continuous history of crowns breaking and popping off. Dr. Pessoa took the time to ask me many questions to ensure that he understood all my concerns, what might have caused past problems, what my smile goals were and what was in-bounds/out-of-bounds in terms of treatment. Due to work, I have relocated many times resulting in my cycling through MANY dentists. This was my BEST experience of all and I would highly recommend visiting Dr. Pessoa! He was very kind, patient and totally focused on me and wanting to make to make sure that he delivered the service and results I was seeking. And, his staff... particularly Sonia and Blair who Ive interacted with a lot are great!!

Dr. Pessoa and the Draper Smiles team gave me the best experience I have ever had at a dental office! I was helped right away when I arrived, they constantly asked me how I was doing and I felt relaxed during my entire stay there. My teeth have never looked better and I feel very confident when I smile. I recommend Draper Smiles to everyone! If I ever need more help with my teeth, I know where to go! They are phenomenal to say the least.

I have never been a big fan of going to the dentist (who is), but when I needed an implant on one of my front teeth this year I was on the hunt for the most talented dentist around. To be honest I think I found them! The entire staff at Draper Smiles is very friendly and professional. Dr. Pessoa made me feel comfortable amd confident that my smile would come out looking great and he delivered! Im very impressed and appreciative of the work they did and am happy Ive found my go to dentist.

Draper Smiles gave me a fantastic new smile. Everyone on the Team is so concerned with the quality of their work and it shows in the final result. You have to have a lot of trust in the dentist to jump into a major rework and Dr. Pessoa and team did a fantastic job! You want that level of attention and quality when reworking a majority of your teeth. I highly recommend Draper Smiles!

Dr. Pessoa did an amazing job on some cosmetic dentistry that I needed after removal of my adult braces. I received dental bonding on two front teeth as well as gum contouring and I couldnt be more pleased with the results. My teeth are gorgeous! The entire experience from numbing to shaving my teeth was painless. He has a true artists hand and I couldnt recommend him more highly.

Review №26

Draper Smiles is the best dental clinic in The Valley!! So good that I commuted from Layton (1 hour drive!) Dr Pessoa and the front office girls (Blair and Chelsey) made me so comfortable from the get go! I chose this dentist because after being told I would need porcelain veneers on my perfectly healthy teeth from 4-5 other practices, I was informed by Dr Pessoa I could achieve perfect results, without compromising my own tooth structure! AMAZING. Just want I wanted! We started with Invisalign and then I ended up getting composite bonding done when my Invisalign was complete! My each Invisalign tray was only worn for 3-5 days because of an extra step dr Pessoa implements in the beginning so it was fast and effective!! My end results were unreal and my already healthy teeth are now healthy AND perfect!!! I loved the entire staff, 10/10 recommend! I’ll be bringing my 3 year old in for his cleanings, and our family won’t be going anywhere else!!! They care about their patients, not just their teeth.

Draper Smiles is most certainly, without a doubt the BEST professional dental practice in all the land! I worked Full-time for 6 years as Dr.Pessoa’s only Hygienist and I had the privilege of working chair side with him on many occasions. I’ve been in practice for over 15 years now and I can tell you first hand what a talented dentist he is! I quit 3 jobs in 2 months when I first moved to Utah. Finding Dr.P was literally an answer to prayer. I’ve seen this office through a lot and believe me when I say he will settle for nothing but the best for his patients. Besides having amazing hands, he’s very intelligent and innovative and works non-stop to educate himself so he can deliver what he thinks his patients deserve. He is honest and good. I’ve watched him cry with his patients after their long awaited smile transformations come to completion. As his sole hygienist, he made sure I was equipped to take care of his patients by educating and guiding them. He pushed me to be better so we could properly diagnose and truly help our patients. There is not a person that I love that has not been referred here! If you are a patient here, you are well loved and respected! You will not find better!Tina Osborne

Review №29

I have been going to this office since 2012 and I have had fantastic service every time. Dr. Pessoa and his staff are perfectionists and it really shows in all the work that they have done. When I first went to the clinic, it had been a few years since I had seen a dentist. Needless to say I had a substantial amount of build up on my teeth. Tina really took the extra time to give me a very thorough cleaning, even though I am sure that took me far over the time spot I was booked for.Dr. Pessoa will never tell you, you need work that you dont need. He is genuinely looking out for my health and not trying to line his pockets with unnecessary procedures.I was getting married and for a wedding gift, Dr. Pessoa gave me a $35 Target gift card for my wedding. I was blown away, I never would have expected anything like that, let alone for that amount. Seriously, talk about shattering any high expectations I already had of this office.My insurance company is not in network with Dr. Pessoa, but that does not matter to me. I have no problem paying a bit more to have the privilege of being a patient at this office.I have to mention the staff as well. Jo at the front is incredibly friendly and took great care of my 3 year old daughter while I was in the back getting cleaned. Tracy is phenomenal, and has gone to bat for me when my insurance was giving me trouble. I can tell you for that alone Dr. Pessoa has a patient in me and my family for life.

Dr. Pessoa is the best dentist I’ve had the pleasure of working with. My case wasn’t easy, and I very much appreciate all of his meticulous hard work and artistry; he is a perfectionist and went above and beyond what I expected. From the first visit, I felt comfortable and never once felt shamed for the state of my teeth, something that had happened with previous dentists.The entire staff is wonderful to work with, always friendly and caring. A special thanks to Sonia for her kindness, conversation, and great insight.I love my new smile, and it’s so nice to laugh out loud again without feeling like I need to cover my mouth. A big thanks to Dr. Pessoa and those who work with him. You all are amazing and highly recommended!

I recently had composite veneers on my two front teeth done at Draper smiles. I’ve had composites done 3 times before on the same teeth and this was far and away the best craftsmanship. I couldn’t be happier with the results. My wife, who has been in the dental industry for 20 years, and worked for over 30 dentists mostly in Minnesota, wont let our family go to anyone but the best. In her opinion, Dr. Pessoa and Dr. Hanson are the two best dentists she has come across. We have referred everyone we know who has asked without hesitation and complete confidence. And they have been thrilled with the results as well.

Wonderful experience! I would recommend Draper Smiles to anyone and everyone. The work I had done was a combination of Invisalign and Crown Lengthening. The level of quality and detail work that I have received has changed my smile forever. Dr. Pessoa goes above and beyond to educate you in your process, giving the patient comfort in every decision. He is not only a Dentist but an exquisite artist at his craft. I am so thankful for the experience I had at Draper Smiles!

Review №39

We recently moved to Utah and finding a dentist was the last thing on our minds. However, when my wife broke her tooth during the Christmas holidays it suddenly became the priority. Draper Smiles (along with others) was highly recommended. Of course we did our online research, called everyone who had been recommended, and called a few dentist just because it was an emergency and they were in our Dental Plan. Dr Pessoa was the ONLY dentist that called us back. My wifes broken molar was fixed without trouble and her office visit experience was amazing.A couple of weeks later, I took my teens in for a check-up and a cleaning. They had a wonderful experience. The staff even managed to fit my upcoming appointment in while my family was there so I didnt have to come back.No more need for research. We have found our new dentist.

To start, I got direct composite veneers on my top ten teeth. I searched for over two years in Utah county and Salt Lake county for a dentist that specialized in cosmetic work that I knew I could trust. When I started getting in my head about the basic veneer procedure I thought I was giving up on my journey. You know that part when they have to shave half your natural tooth away and replace it with porcelain? With my dental history, tampering with my natural tooth structure was a deal breaker. I’ve already had 3 root canals and about a million other cavities and tooth sensitivities. Don’t worry, I’m obsessed with flossing and I’ve always had a great dental routine. Anyways, I read the reviews online for Draper Smiles and thought I’d give it a final shot. Dr. Hanson uses a mind blowing technique for direct composite veneers, it’s non invasive - no drilling, grinding, or shaving. It was a miracle. This also cost less than normal porcelain veneers too. It’s been a little over a month since I got my veneers done and it’s a whole new world! It’s crazy how much I didn’t smile before this and how I’ve had to relearn how to smile and show off my new grill! This journey has meant soo much to me for years, and it’s finally happened! I can’t thank Dr Hanson and his lovely team enough! I am also continuing my regular dental visits with Dr. Hanson because I trust this team and they truly make you feel a part of their family!

I had my 3 front teeth knocked out by a softball and Dr. Pessoa did a fantastic job replacing them! This happened just before Memorial Day and he took me in on a holiday to make it so I could go to work Tuesday with temporary teeth. He is very kind and pays careful attention to detail. I always felt that he cared about me and getting my beautiful teeth and smile back. He went above and beyond to help replace my teeth and even helped to save me money!Dr. Pessoa was recommended to me by a co-worker of mine. I would highly recommend him to anyone! In fact, some members of my family have started going to him because of what they saw in how he treated and helped me.He is an amazing dentist! I am grateful that I found him. He took good care of me, especially when I was in a lot of pain. I cant thank him enough for what he has done for me! His dental hygienists and assistants are all very kind and friendly as well.

Everyone at Draper Smiles is so very kind. I may get over my fear of dentists. As soon as I walk into the office I feel better. I get the feeling that the whole staff enjoys working together. Its a good vibe. Dr Pessoa is very patient and never seems to be in a hurry. I feel as if Im the only appointment they have, no rush, rush around here. They are all very understanding of my anxiety and never make me feel silly about it, but instead let me know its alright and make me feel at ease. Its a warm, friendly, welcoming place. I can not thank the wonderful people at Draper Smiles enough.

Best dentist and staff! Dr. Hanson is so great to work with and is a master at what he does. I am so happy with the cosmetic work that he did for me as well as the work he did to even out my bite. He takes the time to answer any and all questions that you might have. He explains everything that he will be doing and explains it in a way that is easy to understand. You can tell that he loves what he does by the way he interacts with you and by the end result!! His staff is fantastic and makes you feel welcome from the very first phone call and vist. Chelsea and Blair in the front are so kind and accomodating. Dr. Hansons assistant, Lashay, helped me feel at ease through all of my appointments and is very good at what she does. I would recommend this office and Dr. Hanson to anyone looking to better their smile. I have nothing but good things to say about Draper Smiles!!

I LOVE Draper Smiles! I had some gaps between teeth that I thought only braces or veneers could fix (Im over 40). However, Dr. Pessoa filled the gaps in 2 hours and made my teeth look absolutely amazing! I am so excited! My teeth are perfect. No one would know my secret if I wasnt so excited about telling everyone how Dr. Pessoa fixed my teeth. Not only does Dr. Pessoa do a great job, he is very personable and cares about his patients. His staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel comfortable. My entire family goes to Draper Smiles and we wouldnt go anywhere else. I guarantee youll be impressed. I certainly am!

I found Draper Smiles and Dr. Pessoa on google, and he took my insurance so I figured Id give him a try. I have never had such a great experience at a dentist! The hygienists are super friendly, and remember me and our previous conversations every time I go back. And, I recently had white spots on my teeth fixed by Dr. Pessoa. He is seriously and artist when it comes to this stuff! It was affordable, and the best part is that now I love my smile! Ive always been self-conscious of the white spots on my front teeth, and have never had a dentist even mention they could fix it. Part of it is because I dont think all dentists can... but Dr. Pessoa can! He is a very skilled, very friendly dentist, and I highly recommend him!

Dr. Pessoa and his staff are always welcoming. Dr. Pessoa has finally given me the confident smile I have always wanted. I had straightening with Invisalign, whitening with Zoom Whitening, and bonding, done free hand by Dr. Pessoa. He is a perfectionist and truly cares. He has reached out to me personally when there was a concern and made the time to fit me into the schedule! I always recommend him to friends and family as a dentist and anyone looking for cosmetic work!

Review №58

Dr Pessoa is the best dentist in Utah!!! I went to him because an Orthodontist in Provo did a VERY BAD orthodontist job and I ended up losing my 4 lower front teeth.My top 4 teeth were also in very delicate condition because of the bad orthodontic work and ended up being somewhat flared. No other dentist wanted to fix them because of how delicate they were. They feared they would make things worse and eventually make me lose those top 4 teeth as well.I went to like 10 dentists and surgeons to get quotes and their input on what they could do to fix my situation and I finally chose Dr Pessoa to do the job because he took the time to sit down with me to explain the risks, the possible solutions, and every single thing I wanted to know. He didn’t seem arrogant like other doctors who only wanted money or who only wanted to do a cheap quick fix. Dr Pessoa actually gave me options and always said he would do his best to fix this mess.I went to him for a couple of visits during a 1 year period and always received great care from him and his Staff. He went above and beyond what I expected. Some things didn’t work out as expected, but it wasn’t because of what he did. It was just because of how extensive the damage was and how my body healed. But he always tried to look for the next best solution to give me the best results.He did a bone graft, gum graft, and 2 implants on my bottom area with a bridge in between. And straightened my top teeth slightly so that the flaring was not so visible.And the price... well, he charged a reasonable amount for the work he did and was even very flexible with the payment!!! Other doctors were charging the same, but He was more caring and took more personal time with me than the other doctors would have taken.Can’t thank him enough!If you are looking for a caring dentist or even for other more advanced work like gum grafts, bone grafts or implants, then you won’t regret going with Dr Pessoa. He will go above and beyond what he promises. And if things don’t go as planned, just let him know and he will fix it. He is not happy until you are happy!!!Thank you Dr Pessoa and Staff!!!

Dr. Pessoa, and his team are awesome. My family and I have been going there for 3 years and I recommend them completely.1) Dr. Pessoa is very skilled and takes the time to talk to me and address my questions, concerns and discuss with me about my options. Like everything in life there are multiple options. Dr. Pessoa tells me what he recommends and why but lets me make the choice.2) Dr. Pessoa has the best equipment. All of his x-rays are digital, and I like the inter-oral camera so that he can show me what he is talking about.3) The office and hygienist staff are a pleasure to work with to schedule appointments and help me look up my insurance u0026 Flex cards which I always forget. Everyone is also very good with my kids.THE ONLY PROBLEM with Draper smiles is that it is less than 3 blocks away from Little dutch boys bakery a cookie factory.... which I often eat to many of. Good thing I have a good dentist!

Dr. Pessoa is the best dentist Ive ever had. Not only does he do a perfectionists job, the experience is always comfortable, and time efficient. I had a root canal once, and once the numbing medication wore off, I was not even in pain. I cannot say the same thing for other dentists.He even called from his home phone number to make sure everything was ok. He has done this on multiple occasions after procedures.Probably the most important thing that I have discovered is that I can trust him with what he does. With other medical professionals, Ive found it hard to find a good opinion, or be able to trust what they are saying without getting a second opinion. I trust Dr. Pessoa to tell me all of my options, and know that he is practicing honestly, and efficiently.His assistants and dental hygienist are fantastic and friendly and always make you feel so comfortable too. Even the admin are friendly and informative. I never feel like I leave the office with a question unanswered, or uneasy.Their office is newly renovated and a really nice, up to date space. And dont forget to check out the before and after photo book on the entry table. He has done some major teeth reconstruction, and their smiles look absolutely beautiful! Its amazing!

Composite bonding veneers! Such a great experience! We were saving our money for regular veneers when we decided to do a little more research and found Doctor Pessoa and composite bonding veneers. Composite veneers are not not the same as typical expensive veneers. Composite Bonding Veneers are not permanently damaging to the tooth. They can reshape or remove the bonding later. (But really why would you want that after getting a beautiful smile?) The tooth enamel is preserved, not ground down to a stump or damaging ridges in the enamel like regular expensive veneers. My teeth were somewhat crooked and also a little small and also had a permanent white calcium stain. Braces would not fix those 2 problems. We traveled from out of state for the procedure and it was worth the couple of drives to Utah. I would do it all over again. I was so impressed with Dr. Pessoa! Hes a very gentle dentist, but hes also part artist. Which he needs to be for this procedure. I would not trust just any old dentist to do this procedure. His high standard of perfection resulted in this beautiful smile. 10 stars!

Ive been seeing Dr. Pessoa for a number of years. He has always taken care of me. One time I was scared to death about getting a tooth extraction. Dr. Pessoa took extra time with me to settle my nerves. I went through with it, and it turned out great. I did have some bleeding afterwards, but that was taken care of when I started flossing again. The staff let me know what to do, and it worked.

This was my best experience at a dentist office ever. I truly dislike going to the dentist, but now I do think dread it since everyone here is so friendly and comforting. I know I am in good hands and the customer service is awesome! The employees are so nice and welcoming you almost dont want to leave so you can stay and chat. I highly recommend going here!

Dr. Pessoa is amazing. Hes fixed a lot of the previous work that done by other dentists. I get straight up anxious going to the dentist, but Dr. Pessoa and his staff make it really comfortable. They always inform me of options and advise me on the long term effects.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Practice makes Perfect”. Dr. Pessoa’s Dental Practice (Draper Smiles) really does!Requiring extensive dental restoration, I visited (and was treated by) several area dental practices and have found Dr. Pessoa to be the most skilled, engaged, caring and professional practitioner; bar none. Dental surgery is not to be taken lightly and requires that you invest significant trust in your doctor. Dr. Pessoa , and his staff instill confidence, deliver professional care, and (most importantly) deliver amazing results. Dr. Pessoa will settle for nothing less; and you shouldn’t either.

I was slightly apprehensive about the procedure of dental bonding for a few reasons, but if you are thinking at all about having bonding done, or anything for that matter, go to Dr. Pessoa at Draper Smiles. He is gifted. He and his staff are very intelligent and caring people who will take care of you better than most. Im so glad that I found out about Draper Smiles. Id give 10 stars if I could.

Dr. Pessoa is a very meticulous person, which I love. To say that he is a perfectionist would be an understatement. He is a former collegiate national champion volleyball player, who went on to graduate from one of the top dentistry schools in the country at the top of his class. None of this was a surprise to me. He has taken great care of my family. He has helped alleviate pain my wife was having in multiple teeth, caused by poor fillings of another dentist in the draper area. He also has performed a gingivectomy and replaced bonding on my front teeth that I had for 15 years and was getting discolored. The thing that I liked about the process is that he took multiple pictures and a mold of my smile before I choose to do anything. He then got to work in photoshop and created multiple different looks that I could choose from. He gave me all the options between veneers, veneers + bonding, or just minimal bonding. He never pressured me to do any of it. He let me choose what I wanted and he was more than happy to do it. I now love my new smile. I have recommended Dr. Pessoa to many people that I know personally. He really is the best dentist I have been to in Utah (Ive been to four dentists in the last 8 years). If you are unhappy with your dentist, you should call Draper Smiles. :)

Review №74

This was by far the best dental experience I have ever had. I was in a rush to get my teeth whitened and had called several other dentists that day, getting mostly voicemails or unavailability for weeks! When I called Draper Smiles, Dr. Pessoa answered the phone himself (over the lunch hour) and helped me book my appointment. They emailed me the new patient documents and texted me a reminder the day of so everything was super organized. On the day of my appointment they were quick to see me and got me in and out in no time. I have bounced around between dentists for years, but Ive now found the one to stick with.

Review №75

Everyone here is very nice but Dr. Espenoza really hurt my smile. I came in with some crowns another dentist had made that were very round on the side and looked like those wedding mints. I asked him to shave the sides down. It was very nice of him to adjust them since it was not his work...but....he did nothing to the sides when I clearly said SIDES and made them super shorter. I could not tell this is what he was doing. So, when I said trim the sides down to make them flat, he made my back four teeth SHORTER. Significantly shorter. This was years ago. Now, I had all my teeth redone by a different dentist and my back teeth are still super short....because of the mold of my teeth....so now I have a staircase smile because this guy could not understand the difference between side and bottom. A five year old could. It has effected me forever.

I moved here recently and had a crown from a front bridge crack and come loose.This happen on a Saturday afternoon and I called ten Dentists. Dr. Pessoa called me immediately after leaving my message. I made an appointment first thing Monday morning. He replaced my bridge and a couple other crowns and wow I am so happy with the results. Dr. Pessoa and staff is so accommodating I recommend them to all of my friends. By the way no other Dentist called me until Monday.

Dr. Pessoa doesnt elevate himself above his patients and staff. Hes an enjoyable personality, with a humble, gregarious demeanor. He takes the time to consult and answer questions thoroughly. Even more importantly, the quality of his work is second to none. As stated in other reviews, he is a perfectionist who obviously takes great pride in his work and genuinely cares about giving his patients optimal results.

FROM THE MOMENT THAT I STEPPED INTO THIS OFFICE I FELT WELCOMED. I COULD NOT IMAGINE EVER EVEN SEEKING ANOTHER DENTIST AFTER MEETING WITH HIM. THE PERSONAL PLAN HE SETS FOR A PATIENT IS PERFECTION . THE DOCTOR TAKES PRIDE IN WHAT HE DOES AND ALL RESULTS PROVE THAT. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE OF ANY AGE SEEKING THE BEST DENTAL CARE TO GO SEE DR. PESSOA; YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY I PROMISE!!
