What Patients Say
Real stories from real patients who trusted us with their smiles.
Well, let’s be honest. I don’t know anyone who actually likes having dental work done. But if you are in need I highly recommend Dr Rotaru. He saw me for the first time after my friend and dentist Angel Lopez retired. And it was under an emergency situation. I had cracked a tooth and was in a lot of pain. He saw me on the same day and explained he would be in and out of the room as he worked me in. He is professional but kind. Understanding, respectful and listens. I am very grateful and have found my new Dentist. I will be referring all my family and friends who are in need of a dentist to Dr Rotaru. Very thankful.

Dr. Ion Rotaru just performed a root canal. He is compassionate, professional, and caring. He explained the entire process as he went along. That brought peace to me. I love he’s my new dentist. Thank you Dr Angel Lopez for taking care of your patients until your very last day! You served the Tampa bay community for very long. May you and Betsy enjoy your retirement.

Dr. Rotaru was very profesional and explained the procedure step by step as he was going along. He was attentive in asking if I had any discomfort as the procedure went along. He explained what I would expect and feel after the procedure. Everything went smooth and painless. Thank you so much.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of fillings are available?
There are two main types of dental filling materials. While they both serve the same purpose of filling in the cavity space they have several differences.
- Amalgam - Amalgam filling (Also known as silver filling) - less expensive than composite, however it is known to last longer than the composite material. Amalgam filling is made from a combination of metals such as silver, tin, copper, and mercury. The main reason patients reject this type of filling is the aesthetics of the dark silver appearance.
- Composite - This is the most common type of filling material. It is made of a combination of resins that can match your tooth color, which makes it a better option for most patients.
Does it hurt to get a filling?
Fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. To prolong the life span of a filling it is paramount to have proper dental hygiene at home. It is important to maintain a regular check-up schedule of two visits per year, this allows us to keep an eye on the condition of your filling(s) and perform proactive repair or replacement if needed.
