About Tarpon River Dental
Ceiling-mounted TVs, an $89 new-patient exam, and a doctor who reviewers say skips the upselling define this Fort Lauderdale office.
Tarpon River Dental is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, though most reviews focus on routine dental care. Reviews repeatedly mention the modern, freshly renovated office with ceiling TVs and stocked snacks, along with Dr. Petruk's habit of recommending only what's needed rather than pushing extra treatments. Several reviewers also note reasonable pricing, easy parking, and Saturday hours that suit working patients. Many describe feeling at ease even with a history of dental anxiety, and appointments are often described as running on time.

I’ve had a great experience at this dentist office! The staff is always friendly, and the office is clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I especially love the TVs on the ceiling—it’s such a nice touch being able to watch something while getting my teeth cleaned. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a great dentist!

I cannot recommend this dental office enough! From my very first phone call, the staff was incredible and made me feel completely welcome. The office is exceptionally clean, modern, and well-maintained. My hygienist was wonderful, and Dr. Petruk is fantastic— gentle, thorough, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. Five stars all around!
