About Clearwater Dentistry
Written, itemized cost estimates before treatment begins and a low-pressure approach to planning define this office, now led by Dr. Desai after a prior dentist's departure.
Clearwater Dentistry is a general dental practice that also offers traditional braces, though most reviews describe routine dental visits rather than orthodontic care. Reviewers frequently point to detailed, written cost breakdowns before treatment begins and a sense that they were not pushed into unnecessary work, with one reviewer noting a second opinion led to a more conservative plan. Dr. Desai, who took over patient care after a prior dentist left the practice, is described as patient and thorough with anxious or elderly patients, using a gentle numbing technique and walking people through extractions step by step. The office is also noted for a calm, modern feel with 3D imaging and natural light.

Absolutely wonderful experience! The ladies at reception are super kind, helpful, and patient. The dental hygienists and the doctor were gentle and very detail-oriented. I highly recommend Clearwater Dentistry.
Very professional. They make you feel like you’ve been a patient for awhile but it was my first time. And most of all they explain whatever teeth situation you may have in great detail and give you a solution to fix the problem. Highly recommend. Thank you! Clearwater Dentistry.
Sandy did my cleaning and she is very caring, gentle, and professional. She checked me for gum health which I never had done before and answered all my questions. I met the new dentist, Dr Desai who is taking over for Dr Jose. He fully explained my care plan and answered all my questions as well. I think my teeth are in good hands and I recommend the practice.
Absolutely outstanding experience at this Clearwater dental office! I had never had my teeth scanned in 3D before—completely painless, and now they have a detailed record of my teeth and jaw, which is really impressive. The office uses very advanced technology, and the exam was incredibly thorough with clear explanations every step of the way. Dr. Desai is gentle, professional, and respectful of your time—there were no long wait times at all. I’ve honestly never had smoother fillings; they were quick, efficient, and done in about 10 minutes. The entire team is so kind, friendly, and welcoming. I felt completely at ease from start to finish. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dentist in Clearwater!
I've been a patient at Clearwater Dentistry since 2018, they have had several changes over these years but I was always treated very well. The newest Dentist Dr Desai is very good and does an excellent job showing you as well as explaining everything he's doing. With today's technology they can actually show you the work there doing with a camera on a TV and show you any potential issues to be aware of. My only complaint is the constant turnover in Hygenist as I've seen no less than 8 different Hygienists over the years with some being very good and others not so much. My last visit she was very good. Sadly over the decades I've had lots of dental work done at multiple offices in 3 different states and This office does a good job on everything from extractions to Root canals, Crowns and partials and or dentures.
