About Surfside Kids Dental and Orthodontics Land Park
An underwater-themed office with fish tanks and ceiling movies helps ease anxious kids through visits, though front-desk communication is a recurring complaint.
Surfside Kids Dental and Orthodontics Land Park is a pediatric dental practice that also offers Invisalign for families who want it. Reviews often mention the beach and underwater decor, including fish tanks and movies projected on the ceiling, as something that keeps young patients calm and entertained during visits. Several families note the pricing feels reasonable given the upscale setting, and some say they drive in from other areas or switched offices for the convenient location. Staff are frequently described as warm with children, though a number of reviews point to friction with the front desk around scheduling and communication.

Best experience for my 3 almost 4 year old having a removal of a cavity! Dazzaray and Dr. JJ were amazing with her!
Dr Jennifer is great. All the office staff are very sweet and friendly. They handle kids so well and have the most patience for the kids. It's so great! They listen well and are very attentive to everyone who is a patient .
This place is awesome for little ones. The way they set up the environment is fun and the dentist was nice; however, some of the staff could be a little more nicer especially early in the morning but eh everyone has their own thing going on so I just ignore it. **UPDATE** It really sucks because my youngest daughter was being seen by Dr. Jenny but I got my other daughter started on the Ortho side and they completely ruined it for us. Their lack of empathy and care when they applied the appliance to the roof of my daughter’s mouth resulted in my daughter having the metal pieces embedded into her gums and they barely looked at it. I had to keep showing up since they wouldn’t answer or make an emergency appointment. They “tried” to fix it by twisting it and didn’t realize when they did that the other side of the metal pieces on the other side of the teeth got jammed into her gums even further. My daughter had so much pain for 3 months. They didn’t do shit about it no empathy nothing, sorry for the language but it really pisses me off that businesses especially for children get away with these kinds of actions. Finally walked in with her and demanded them to take it off and I didn’t want it anymore. And they had the audacity to tell me I still owe them $350. Yeah, no I don't think so. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD HERE FOR ORTHO WORK!!
We have been Surfside patients for 10+ years. My daughter was seen for her bi-annual cleaning on June 25, 2024 at the Land Park office. At that time, Dr. Jenny recommended sealants. We signed a potential cost agreement which was minimal at that time, and scheduled her sealants to be completed at her next appointment in January when she was due for her next cleaning. On January 2, 2025, we arrived for her appointment, and it was discovered that the amount of time scheduled for her appointment did not include time for sealants, just a cleaning. We were told there was not time to complete the expected procedure. When we checked out, we confirmed that her next cleaning appointment would in fact allow time for her sealants this time. On July 8, 2025, my daughter received her cleaning and sealants. Unbeknownst to us, Delta Dental does not cover sealants past the age of 14. This was NEVER mentioned. My daughter turned 14 on April 26, 2025. If we had be told, we would not have waited for a cleaning appointment to complete her sealants, and would have done so before April. Today, we received a bill $120.30- the cost of the sealants. I absolutely dispute this charge, as had she received the procedure on the first date it was supposed to happen, she would have still been 13. This mistake was not ours. I called the office today to inquire about the bill, and was told I should dispute it with Delta Dental after I pay Surfside. This was NOT Delta Dental's mistake. This was Surfside's mistake for not scheduling the original appointment with enough time for the sealants. They have zero email address or way to contest bills. I'm at a loss. So disappointed and frustrated.
Dawn, The lady at the front supposedly the manager, horrible service provided to the patients ! very rude with her replies no empathy whatsoever and to top it off scheduled my child anesthesiologist appointment incorrect had us sitting in the office for over an hour and a half mind. You my child had to start fasting 7 PM the day prior. This office really needs to do better on their staff for the front desk “management” Also, not the front desk is usually left alone and no one available upon arrival
