Embarrassed to admit it had been a while since I'd been to the dentist. A co-worker who's terrified of the dentist referred them to me and they were great. All of them were extremely kind and didn't make me feel bad for not taking care of my dental issues sooner. Going back to start getting everything fixed and so glad I found them.

Grace did a great job on my cleaning today. Also Dr Nguyen is always a pleasure to see, a real professional and expert in Dentistry. Exceptional Dental has been my dentist for over 10 years and I switched from another dentist in town becuase they were not being upfront and honest about treatments that I didn't need. That's one of the many reasons I stay with Exceptional Dental. They shoot it to you straight!

I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and detail of the initial checkup. Everything was explained in full details by the dentist and suggested services were provided in detail. I am very happy to have chosen this says my new dentist office Update 6/18/2026 - Exceptional Dental continues to be one of the most professional Dental organizations in St. Pete. I took a break because of the insurance I had, and finally lucky enough to be back. Nothing compares to the quality of work, staff and professionalism that they provide. I wish I could rate them higher!
