About Great Expressions Dental Centers - Cape Coral
Custom touches like a smaller impression tray or Vaseline before cleaning show up alongside frequent complaints about surprise charges and upselling.
This is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional braces, and clear aligners for patients needing orthodontic treatment. Reviewers often mention same-day appointments for broken crowns or caps, and some describe small personal touches like a custom-sized impression tray for a smaller mouth or Vaseline applied before a cleaning to prevent chapped lips. A number of reviews also describe the office as clean and well organized. Alongside this, a substantial number of reviewers describe surprise charges after insurance was applied and pressure to add services like deep cleanings before regular care would be provided.

I am already incredibly pleased with the whole crew here! I was unfortunately turned away from my last dental practice as I had my daughter with me but here at Great Expressions, they opened both of us with open arms. They entertained my daughter while I got x rays and were so understanding and accommodating. I hope they get the credit they deserve because they quite literally are wonderful people. Follow up to add: after several visits here, I’m continuously happy with them all!

Don't go hear they try to say you need a crown and deep cleaning. Went somewhere else and didn't need any of that done. Wish I took pictures. Hole in floor boards, black marks on the walls, te instruments and equipment out dated, and machine had things broken on it. If I took pictures would of reported them. Stay away they deserve a 0 for rating.
