A Dentist Office Focused on Your Health and Wellbeing

At Taylor Dental, our dental team has over 100 years of experience in dentistry. That experience is apparent from the moment you contact our office and work with our Front Office staff. Clinically, our dental assistants are all fully Certified Dental Assistants, and our Registered Dental Hygienists are all licensed by the State of Florida.

All that experience has taught us to strive to improve continually. To that end, every team member participates in Continuing Education throughout the year. This extra education enables us to offer state-of-the-art dentistry while utilizing Cutting Edge Technology continually.

Our goal at Taylor Dental is to provide you with the best possible dental care available. This philosophy of care runs throughout our office, even in ways that aren’t readily apparent but are vitally important. For instance, to ensure patient safety, our sterilization protocols far exceed both State and Federal Requirements.

Remember that we are here for you and will assist you in any way we can. All you have to do is ask.

The whole staff was SO great! Extra praise for Tempest, our hygienist, who was absolutely wonderful! ❤️
Samantha S.
I feel very nervous when it comes to dentists, and the whole experience behind it, however this office was amazing ! Liz was very informative, gave me a tour of the office and made me feel so comfortable! The dentist was just as amazing, informing me of the whole process, addressing all concerns I had and the plan behind it.
Front office… I mean they are just PRECIOUS! They are so sweet and inviting. I have never had this experience before at another office. I can’t wait to come back!
Dan P.
Ann was extremely helpful assisting me with insurance claim issues. She went above and beyond in working with my provider to get claims paid. She was very patient and professional as she assisted me with the process as my insureance company tried to avoid paying a claim. In the end they paid the claim due to Ann's assistance.
Judy N.
Taylor Dental is the place to go for all your dental needs. It was a great environment and experience from beginning to end. Dr. LeBlanc made me feel comfortable and really took his time explaining my dental health. The staff I worked with at the time of my visit were FANTASTIC! Mitzi, Tina and Ashley are top notch. From scheduling, to chair side assistance, to financial treatment knowledge. I would definitely refer Taylor Dental!
Deb B.
Love love love the care I get! And my teeth are happy!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great feedback!
Heather C.
Excellent treatment as always. Friendly and professional staff.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5 star review!
Shontrell B.
Tempest is very professional and her room is nice and clean! (And I’m looking at everything!) she is not heavy handed. She never rushes and very understanding to the fact that i hate getting my teeth cleaned. With this in mind, she always makes the experience painless and comfortable. I would recommend her to my closest family and friends. I was also assisted by “Kat” for a night guard adjustment. It’s very difficult for me to gauge what is a normal bite so I’ve had to get it adjusted several times. Kat was super patient and determined to not let me leave with the same problem. She and Tempest even put me in the supine position several times just to mimic my bite while sleeping. :) They are a great team and I hope my future preventive care involves them. See you guys in 6 months!
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing such kind words about your experience with Tempest and Kat! We’re so glad to hear that their professionalism, attention to detail, and teamwork made a positive impression. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing to provide welcoming and comfortable care for all who visit.
Tom L.
The staff and care are first rate. Always friendly...always professional. Tina and Chrissy are awesome and make visiting the Taylor Dental a pleasure.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review! We're glad to hear Tina and Chrissy made your visits enjoyable. We appreciate your kind words and support!
Lisa P.
Oh my gosh!!!! Tempest is the best. So gental, BUT i got a great cleaning. The front office staff is amazing and kind! They can work magic with the schedules to accommodate patients. The doctor worked with me on my teeth concernes and we have a health plan. Very happy at this office.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We’re glad you had a great experience with Tempest and the team. It’s wonderful to hear you felt cared for and supported—see you at your next visit!
Rai G.
We are extremely pleased with the services we receive!! Tempest and Que care for me and my family whom range in ages from 34 to 1. These ladies are extremely patient and knowledgeable. We’ve been serviced here for years. I must say from the time you are greeted at the desk til you exit the establishment you are treated like family! Thanks for making each dental visit a pleasant experience!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for this wonderful feedback! Our team loves hearing that our patients enjoyed their visit! See you soon!
Zach R.
I am extremely terrified of going to the dentist. I have had extensive work done my entire life and always feel sick to my stomach when I have to go. Taylor dental is not your average dentist office. You are greeted by kind smiling faces who REMEMBER you after meeting you one time. The office is extremely clean and doesn’t smell like a dentist office which is a huge plus for me. Dr Hofius did 4 fillings on me and I have never been so calm during a dental procedure. He is kind and caring and very patient. Soft spoken and never makes you feel judged when you say you are nervous about something. Same thing goes to his assistants. I had Q & Tina for the 2 appointments I had and they were excellent. I can’t thank all of you so much for making this easy and not a scary experience. I will forever be going here. This should be the standard for all dental offices.
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share such kind words. We’re glad to hear that your experience made such a positive impact. Creating a calm, welcoming, and respectful environment is something we value deeply, and it’s always encouraging to hear when those efforts are appreciated. Your feedback is truly meaningful — thank you again for sharing it!
Cara L.
Very kind staff, always making you feel welcome and comfortable. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're so glad to hear that you felt welcomed and comfortable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and kind words!
Marianne C.
All these great reviews are true. I am a nurse, and I am 62 years old. In today's world, the function, knowledge, efficiency, pleasantness is something I haven't seen in a long time. In fact, I'm not sure I have ever seen it. It was my first trip. And, at first, I thought it seemed super busy (which would likely result in rushed / poor care) and a bit factory like.............was I wrong!!! I have had good dentists and wonderful staff work with me over the years, but this is the best ever. I don't know how they have orchestrated this, but I will be back, for sure. My care team was: Ashley, treatment coordinator; Hanna, check in; Tempest, hygienist; Liz, assistant; and Dr. Hofius. Thank you for your care. See you in 6 months! Marianne Combs
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind words, Marianne! We’re truly honored by your feedback and grateful you chose us for your dental care. We're especially glad to hear that your experience exceeded expectations—our team works hard to provide a welcoming, efficient, and high-quality environment for every patient. We look forward to seeing you again at your next visit!
Alexandrea M.
Everyone here is very kind & knowledgeable. My hygienist, Jessica, is very thorough and gentle making my experience great every time. They always have a blanket ready for your cleaning, massage/heat chairs, and let you choose your tv channel. Overall a great experience every time I come.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that your visits have been consistently comfortable and positive. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Jessica. It’s always our goal to make every appointment a great experience!
Molly D
I been going to this dentist for over 5 years. Everyone is consistently warm, friendly, and patient. They always have my best interests and are very ethical. Also a major thanks to Dr. LeBlanc, Jessica, Que, and Denita.
