Aspire Dental & Orthodontics - Sarasota

it had been over two years since my last dentist visit when i came into the office at the end of 2025. i knew i needed some significant work done, so naturally i was nervous, but the team at aspire dental quickly put me at ease. after my evaluation by dr. patel, the office manager, julie, developed a treatment plan that fully utilized my insurance to help save me some coin and swiftly get my dental health back on track. her and the other office assistant, crystal, are super sweet and understanding. everyone in the office is honestly great, and i felt well-taken care of and educated at each visit - two wisdom tooth extractions, a root canal, several fillings, and a crown. the dental assistants dote on you and ensure you’re comfortable, and amir & dr. patel have excellent bedside manner, as well. i cannot recall the endodontist’s name, but he was super knowledgeable and really helped to ensure my root canal was a perfect success. after getting my dental health in shape, i opted to straighten my smile and they did an excellent job with the pricing and imaging for some aligners, and my trays came out great. i can say that i look forward to each appointment! extra praise: julie has a bumpin playlist for the office and gangsta’s paradise coming on during procedure was incredible. dr. patel & amir also have a great sense of humor, they’re very down to earth and relatable, with a touch of silliness to keep the atmosphere light. the office is very clean and modern with a very homey restroom, complete with complementary water & keurig. julie also threw in some free opalescence whitening trays on my very first visit, and they were a wonderful touch right before the holiday season. tl;dr: highly recommend! such a lovely place, such a lovely face / plenty of room at aspire dental / any time of year / you can find it here ♪

I had the chance to visit the office today and meet the new dentist, and I was genuinely impressed. Even as someone who wasn’t there for treatment, I could immediately sense the warmth and professionalism of the entire team. The space was spotless, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to put people at ease. The new dentist greeted me with kindness which speaks volumes about their approach to care. You can tell they’re not just skilled, they’re genuinely invested in creating a positive experience for everyone who walks through the door. If you're looking for a dental office that combines expertise with heart, this is the place.

Aspire Dental took such great care of me and are all so kind and caring. Julie is the sweetest person 💗 ever and her heart and soul are so Incredibly loving, caring, kind and Compassionate in all she does for the patients, especially myself. Thank you all for everything and may God bless you all in every way. Sincerely; God Bless; Jack

I had a very disappointing billing experience with Aspire Dental. Before receiving treatment, I discussed the cost at the front desk and was given an amount that I understood to be the agreed price. I paid/left based on that information. Several months later, I received additional invoices that were much higher than expected — in my case, approximately twice the amount that had originally been discussed. This was extremely frustrating because the final cost was not clearly communicated to me before or at the time of service. Patients should be very careful and ask for everything in writing before agreeing to treatment here, including the exact out-of-pocket cost, insurance estimate, and whether additional charges may be billed later. Based on my experience, the billing process felt unclear and unreliable, and I would not feel comfortable returning or recommending this office.

I have had an amazing experience with this place so far. There’s a lady in the office and her name is Julie and let me tell you how this lady has gone above and beyond for me as if we are best friends. I have literally never had someone look out for me in the way that she has and just be someone at the dentists office at that. If you have any anxiety about going to the Dentist, I’m telling you go to this place. You will not regret it.
