I love this dental office! I've had cleanings to implants done here and I have no complaints. Even my 2 sons go here again from cleanings to wisdom teeth out and just recently my autistic son who fears all needles had 5 fillings and 2 baby teeth pulled under oral sedation and it went great! All the people there are so friendly, caring and supporting of their patients needs!

Juanita B.

Had a tooth implant loosen during the holiday. The staff was able to get me in the first day back and Dr. Vasquez as usual was awesome. No pain, quick procedure. Whole staff was very friendly and helpful! I don't stress going to the dentist anymore.

Todd D.

I recently got my teeth cleaned at Comfort Dental in Mary Esther and I have to say it was a very great experience! The staff was very friendly, professional, and I was in and out relatively quickly! I would highly recommend them for all your dental needs! My experience was by far better than I窶况e had at other Dentists!

Nicholas P.

I was a little unsure of this place at first but after several appointments for an implant I completely trust them. The staff is great and the doctors are outstanding. I can confidently recommend them to anyone needing dental service.

Joseph M.

I have anxiety where the dentist is concerned. I had an unexpected urgent need for some dental work. Dr. Vasquez did a quick temporary fix to tide me over until I could take time off work for the permanent fix. They offer several types of relaxation methods to keep you calm during procedures. The dental hygenist, Colleen was quite good as well. They explain everything they were doing. The office staff is nice and helpful. I highly recommend Comfort Dental and specifically Dr. Vazquez.

Dental procedures are usually not fun but they should be as comfortable as possible. Comfort Dental in Mary Esther, Florida lives up to it's name. Everything from scheduling to the procedure to insurance billing to checkout is handled in the most professional way. The entire staff is your dental care advocate.

I have been a patient with Comfort Dental since February and have had two cleanings, a tooth extraction, a sinus lift with bone graft, two dental implants and two fillings. Doctor Angel Vasquez performed all the procedures except for the cleanings and is an excellent dentist with a great patient interaction. Comfort Dental is very safety oriented with Covid precautions and their prices are reasonable and explained upfront before treatment begins. I highly recommend them.

The staff at the Mary Ester office got me in and took care of reattaching my crown ASAP. They took outstanding care of my needs.

Jim W.

Went in after not being to a dentist in around 20 years. Staff was friendly and understanding and took the time to listen to my issue and help out with it. I ended up lucking out with an opening to get my teeth cleaned while I was there and while not a fan of teeth cleaning the dr that did it was nice and did a splendid job doing it.

Mike

I have been using Comfort Dental for 2 years. Everyone of their employees have treated me every time with the utmost respect and professionalism that is needed to have a great office. I will continue to use them until the end of my time. These people are awesome.

David M.

Omg, I have never seen so many smiles in one place, even in the dentist office! Everyone is so nice, never had any long wait times to be brought back and the dentist is in shortly after. Both the adult and the pediatric side have amazing staff. Our boys weren’t worried or fearful of being there. I am happy that we found Comfort Care Dental for our home dentist. I know I probably sound like an ad but they really deserve nothing less.

Tina B.

Everyone was very nice o. My very first consultation visit. Summer was a great source of information and help. Dr. Mina was very gentle and did a great job of explaining the extensive work that needs to be done. I am absolutely terrified of any dental work. They did a great job of easing my fears, taking me through the steps needed to repair my dental work.

Susan B.

First visit and everyone was absolutely wonderful. Made me feel comfortable and they were very knowledgeable about what I needed go back for the work and I'll update from there.

Angela W.

Comfort Dental in Crestview is amazing. I was having tooth pain, and showed up there without an appointment. They took me in right away, did X-rays, and I was seen by a dentist within 30 minutes of arrival. I am so thankful for this good service.

Patricia S.

Great quick service, friendly staff, and a comfortable welcoming environment. I had my three kids that wore seen this week in the kids section they wore able to get their teeth done that same day. I had a chance to call and be able to set up my initial appointment for the same day. First dental place I have been to that take immediate care of their clients. This is a great place to go.

San J.

Great care for my 5 year old. He ended up having to have a tooth removed and left saying he "had so much fun." 😄 I consider that the best possible experience! Staff was so helpful and kind.

Natalie R.

Comfort Dental in Crestview has excellent front office staff that are efficient and friendly I am almost always called in to see the dental hygienist and dentists on time and out of there with everything done in a reasonable amount of time. For a very busy small business owner this efficiency and punctuality is a great time saver.

C. Yerkes

I cannot say enough positive things about this location! I have huge anxiety with dentist offices, and they ease my mind, I actually now look forward to going to the dentist. Dr. Mina is absolutely phenomenal and personal. He always makes sure you’re comfortable, and explains things while he does them. Ashley B. is amazing, she is so sweet, and charismatic. This office has gone above and beyond for me in many instances, and I can’t thank you enough. 😊

Erin M.

I haven't had the work done but I currently have a really bad infection and they got me setup with an oral surgeon really quick compared to other dental places. All of the staff that I interacted with today was super helpful and very kind. I had a lot of questions and concerns and I didn't leave with one of them being unanswered. No one really likes going to the dentist but I actually was relieved a little after I left today.

Jordan M.

I had a great first visit. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. I met Dr. Mina and he was very informative. One thing I did notice was how efficient this office is. Everyone was doing something and it was nice to see a busy office with staff still smiling and having a good day.

G. Kam

Very nice staff , kid friendly. They took their time with my 5 year old daughter who was beyond scared , being her first time going to the dentist. They were very patient with her and went at her own pace . The office and rooms were very clean and nice. I would highly recommend !!

Sabrina G.

New to the area and needed a new dentist for our family. Was happy we could all go to the same place. My boys both felt very comfortable and were treated wonderfully by all staff and Drs.

We had the best experience today. My 10 year old said this was the “best dentist” office and my 3 year old had his first PLEASANT dentist appointment!

What Is Gum Disease?

Healthy gums are essential for strong teeth, facial structure, and overall wellbeing. Along with daily brushing and flossing, professional treatments can restore gum health. At Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics, we provide advanced periodontal therapy, using surgical and nonsurgical methods to fight gum disease and detoxify root surfaces, protecting your gums at every stage.

Benefits of Gum Treatment

By reducing the amount of toxins and bacteria levels using an ultrasonic laser, we are able to help your immune system control infections associated with gum disease. Gum treatments give you the many benefits of a healthy smile and a reduced risk of heart disease.

What Is the Procedure for Gum Disease Treatment?

The type of gum treatment you will undergo can be either surgical or nonsurgical. These can include advanced procedures such as scaling and root planing, which are deep cleaning procedures used to remove hardened plaque and tartar away from and under the gum line. Surgeries can include tissue and bone grafts that are used together with either your existing bone and tissue or synthetic forms to help reconstruct areas where advanced gum disease has left craters and pits, forming a breeding ground for bacteria.

How Much Does Gum Disease Treatment Cost?

The cost of gum treatment depends on the extent of the issue and the extent of treatment necessary to resolve it. In some cases, your dental insurance may cover your gum treatment. Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics offers convenient financing options through CareCredit® and OrthoBanc® to help make dental care more affordable for you and your family.

Periodontal Treatment

If you are experiencing pain in and along the gum line or if you have been told that you have a buildup of tartar, plaque, calculus, or gingivitis, ultimately periodontal treatment may be the right solution.

Gingivitis

Gingivitis is a very dangerous extension of dental pathology, and it has been shown to lead to the early onset of heart disease. Preventing heart disease may ultimately start with preventing gingivitis. If you are concerned about gingivitis, please contact us now to set up your consultation.

What to Expect During Your Gum Disease Treatment Consultation

During your gum treatment consultation, we will examine your gums and teeth to determine an accurate treatment plan moving forward. If surgery is necessary to treat the issues, we will go over the procedure to be performed as well as each stage of the process so that you’ll know exactly what to expect.

Why Choose Comfort Dental Care And Orthodontics?

Your teeth, mouth, and gums are important to your overall health and to your quality of life. At Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics, you have all the experts under one roof utilizing the latest innovations in dental care technology to optimize your oral health.
