Dental Arts of Florida: Dr Fred Tepedino, DMD

I never thought I’d say this, but it was actually fun going to the dentist for a change! Gwen is absolutely awesome — we shared so many laughs together, and she made the visit genuinely enjoyable. Anna and Michelle in the front office were kind, friendly, professional, and impressively efficient. Dr. Salgado has such a warm and engaging personality — she’s incredibly easy to connect with because of her tone, demeanor, and overall approach. And how could I not include Azim, the hygienist? She provided excellent care and was over-the-moon with kindness and hospitality. The entire team at Dental Arts of Florida is exceptional. I’m very thankful for their professional service, wonderful care, and the positive atmosphere they create. For the first time ever, I’m actually looking forward to my next dental visit in six months!

Anna, Kayla, Gwen and Dr. Salgado were great with my autistic 14 yo. He usually doesn't do well with dentist, but they were kind and patient with him and he got through the appointment with no issues and no fuss. Great staff and very friendly and attentive.

I recently had a dental procedure done with Dr. Tepedino, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Dr. Tepedino was incredibly polite, attentive, and took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. His calm and professional demeanor really put me at ease. At my initial appointment, dental assistant Allie was amazing. I came in extremely anxious and nervous, but she handled it with so much care and compassion—it truly made a difference. At a follow-up visit, dental assistant Chelsie continued that same level of excellent care. Her communication and attention to detail were exceptional. The office staff, especially Alexa, deserves recognition as well. She was so patient and understanding with my nervous energy, and helped me feel more comfortable from the moment I walked in. On top of the great care, the team went above and beyond working with my insurance to make sure I had coverage with minimal out-of-pocket costs—something that’s becoming increasingly rare. Out of all the dental offices I’ve experienced between Duval and Clay counties, this has by far been one of the best. Highly recommend!

I would like to share a Wonderful Review of all of my experiences to the Dental Arts to all staff , would never go anywhere else , I feel so comfortable and relaxed with Dr Patel and also to Michelle, Gwen and Anna . Dr Patel is a 5 star 🌟 the best Dr/ Dentist and very pleasant and thorough with detailed assessments. 😊

I chose Dental Arts to finally have crowns placed on my 2 front teeth to replace bondings I’d had for many years from an accident that broke those teeth eons ago. The experience was so good! Dr. Patel…beyond amazing at what he does and was all about making my smile the one I had envisioned. He even went out of his way to find a local dental lab so I could get “custom shading” for the crowns to perfectly match the rest of teeth. (I went into the lab for this after they’d sent over my impressions to them). And Marina the assistant….also amazing and so thorough & so kind! Gwen gets another amazing stamp from me. Those ladies know their stuff and were a huge part of making this such a positive experience. I’ve even decided to switch to this office for my 6-month cleanings since I was so happy with everything and found out they are in-network with my dental insurance. So the final takeaway…..I absolutely LOVE the smile they gave me!!
