Why People Love Pine Avenue Smiles

Adara G.

Great experience, which is not easy to come by for a Dental office. The staff were all so kind and friendly. The Dr. is amazing. He took his time to talk to me about any issues I may have. He never rushed throughout the appointment and gave me many options as to what I wanted or needed. You can tell they really care about their patients and aren't trying to just rush you out. My cleaning was great and the hygienist was very thorough with cleaning.

Tracy T.

Dr.Pan and his entire staff are truly an amazing group of individuals. Professional, compassionate and talented. My boys and I have had nothing but excellent and accommodating service around our crazy schedule!

Denisse W.

Dr Pan is an excellent dentist. Very professional but also very kind. I have a lot of dental problems and he is working very hard on the least invasive solutions to preserve my teeth, but at the same time fixing what's going on now. I can definitely recommend him and really appreciate him and his entire staff.

Paula B.

I just got finished getting 8 new crowns on my top front teeth at Pine Avenue Smiles. Dr. Pan took great care of me at all my appointments in this process and was ever so diligent in striding for perfection. I LOVE my new smile. what a great job. i really cannot express how happy i am with the results. Michelle, Melissa, Louisa and every other staff member are the best people ever! The people who work at this office are all like family to each other and they make the patients feel like family! I am a pine avenue smiles girl for life!

Jessica G.

Dr. Pan is the best! He was very thorough in explaining the options for my treatment and answered all my questions. His staff always greeted me and introduced themselves in our interactions, making sure that I was doing well throughout my visit. I’ve had pretty extensive dental work in the past and I must say, I didn’t feel any pain during my visit when Dr. Pan did my local anesthesia. I can’t recommend him enough!

JoAnne L.

I had 2 dental implants inserted in my jaw. It was very easy to my surprise. I did not feel any pain during the procedure and very little after. Dr. Pan is kind, warm, and explains the procedure very well. The team worked well together also. I fully recommend this dental practice to all.

Dessaline

Amazing experience overall. When I walked in Melissa greeted me with a smile and offered me everything but a steak from Burns. She was really sweet and welcoming. As I made my way back when called everyone greeted me with a smile. Linda took my xrays and reassured me that I was in good hands. The highlight of it all was Dr. Pan fixing my chipped tooth. He really took his time and it was a painless process. My tooth came out perfect with the exact shade of my other teeth. Can’t say enough about this place. If you’re in Oldsmar area this is definitely the place to visit. I traveled from Hernando county just for this experience. Thanks Pine Avenue Smiles!

Tyler B.

Everyone at Pine Avenue from Melissa to Cathy to Dr. Pan are so personable and professional. They all do a wonderful job and I couldn’t be happier with this dentist! Highly recommend!

David E.

Dr. Pan and Fam have a clear and concise method to dental care. I’ve experienced a few services in their portfolio and have been happy with how they explained and carried out the procedures. The team even helped with a previous dentist’s work that improved my situation immensely!

Juan O.

This office is almost 45 minutes away from me but I happily make the drive because I can’t imagine going to any other dentist. Dr. Pan and his staff are incredible personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. After just one visit, I left with a personalized plan on how to take care of my teeth at home that has vastly improved my dental health (cool night routine that isn’t super extensive!). Great office and staff would highly recommend!

Libby B.

What a delightful experience! Office staff was very friendly and professional. My hygienist, Kathy, was very personable and thorough, providing details about the health of my teeth and gums along the way. Dr. Pan was very thorough, letting me know the status of my dental issues and providing a reasonable timeline for my needed procedures. Overall, a very good experience for my first appointment. I look forward to my next visit.

Antonia F.

I love the entire staff at Pine Ave Smiles! They are all very friendly and explain everything so there’s no surprises! Dr. Pan does a great job at making sure you know what’s going on and agree with the plan before he does anything. I’m very happy with my experiences there!

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

Any oral health issue that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop ongoing tissue bleeding, or save a tooth is considered a dental emergency. This includes severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, loose or lost fillings, and abscesses. If you're uncertain whether your situation is an emergency, call Pine Avenue Smiles for guidance.

Can I get emergency dental care in Oldsmar, FL?

Absolutely! Pine Avenue Smiles in Oldsmar, FL, offers same-day emergency appointments to address your urgent dental needs. We are equipped to handle various dental emergencies promptly and efficiently.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Time is critical in saving a knocked-out tooth. Pick the tooth up by the crown (top part), rinse it without scrubbing, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that's not possible, keep it moist in milk and call us immediately for a same-day emergency appointment.

How quickly do I need to see a dentist in an emergency?

Does Pine Avenue Smiles offer pain relief for dental emergencies?

Yes, providing relief from pain and discomfort is a primary concern during any dental emergency. We utilize various methods to ensure your comfort during emergency treatment.

What can I do to manage pain before I get to the dentist?

Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort, and applying a cold compress can reduce swelling. Remember, these are temporary measures until our emergency dental care team can see you.

Is bleeding from the gums a dental emergency?

Bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease and should be evaluated by a dentist, especially if it's severe or doesn't stop. Call us for an urgent consultation.

How do I contact Pine Avenue Smiles for an emergency dental appointment?

In the event of a dental emergency, call us as soon as possible. Our staff will provide you with instructions and arrange for your immediate care.
