Fantastic experience: First time patient-appointment went smoothly and dental hygienist Lisette was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Interaction with Dr Rivera was equally positive, and she provided her expertise in explaining my particular needs and treatment plan. Office staff was also very pleasant and professional. Would recommend this practice to anyone needing a dentist.

Fantastic experience: My first time at Chiquita Dental Center. I was so impressed with the staff. The dentist assistant did an awesome job in my mouth and Dr Welch explained Everything in details. I loved it. My cleaning was out of this world. I saw a show on TV while I was being pampered by the Dentist Assistant. I give them a 10. Very welcoming

Negative experience: Over priced and not great at the cleaning. They didn't even honor my two free cleanings coded as a deep cleaning to charge more. Would not recommend this office.

Fantastic experience: Our entire family uses them, great staff and live across the street!

Fantastic experience: Let’s be honest—going to the dentist isn’t on anyone’s list of favorite activities. That said, this office makes it about as pleasant as humanly possible. The staff is kind and professional, and my hygienist is gentle, quick, and still very thorough (a rare and appreciated combo). They somehow manage to make an experience I normally dread completely tolerable—and even crack a smile or two along the way. If you have to go to the dentist, this is definitely the place to do it.

Fantastic experience: Great staff! Everyone in that office is so professional and caring! Dr. Nelson treated me and my son with so much respect Everything in that office is so clean! Okay I am hooked my new dentist office!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Welch and his staff are fantastic! Previously, I was with my dentist for 40 years moved to Cape Coral and looked for a new Dentist. I went through a couple of them just for cleanings and wasn't very satisfied. I found Dr. Welch. He and his team took such good care of me. They redid my TMJ splint so that I have full movement in my neck, and redid my retainer on my bottom teeth. They are wonderful at cleaning my teeth. I highly recommend Dr. Welch.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Welch and his team are fantastic! Pain free, quality work! Ask for Paige for your cleanings, she is also wonderful

Negative experience: Challenges first started when it was determined I would need two implants during my first appointment. Chiquita Dental does not have a dental surgeon so they referred me to a different office. After my initial visit to that office and learning the cost, I obtained a 2nd opinion and received a price several thousand dollars cheaper, so I went with the 2nd dental provider. Chiquita Dental did not seem at all happy with my actions based on the demeanor of the hygienist during my next visit. In addition, I'm not sure what specific conversations occurred between Chiquita and the dental surgeon's office, but it turned out to be a very awkward situation for both me and the dental surgeon. The dental surgeons office did nothing wrong in my opinion. It appeared clear that Chiquita valued their relationships with other dental offices much more than they cared about me getting cost effective dental care. Chiquita also appears to use a model I have not seen before where the hygienist actually acts as the dentist. She reads x-rays, communicates treatment plans, etc. The actual dentist appears to just bop his head in to say hi. I don't have a problem with this model per se since it appears the hygienist knew her stuff. However, what I am concerned about is the fact that both cleanings I had seemed quick and inadequate, especially the 2nd one. I've had plenty of teeth cleanings throughout the years, and it is easy to tell a thorough teeth cleaning from a less than thorough cleaning. In my opinion, the hygienist appears to spend more time being a dentist than a hygienist. I planned to go back one last time to get a cleaning, before switching to a different dentist office. This was due to timing and insurance issues related to not wanting to switch dentists twice. I had set up an appointment a couple months earlier and had requested a different hygienist - one that would hopefully give me a thorough cleaning. After waiting a couple months for the appointment to come, I was called 76 minutes before my appointment telling me they were cancelling the appointment. They couldn't have done this sooner? My understanding is that if I cancelled the appointment less than 48 hours, I would have been on the hook for payment. They cancelled the appointment 76 minutes ahead of time with no repercussions.

Fantastic experience: I broke a tooth on the way to Cape Coral from the easr coast of Florida. It was late on a Friday afternoon and I walked into the office at 4. Dr Rivera was in hr car ready to leave when they caught her and she came back into the office and smoothed my rough tooth down so I didnt have to deal with it all weekend. Thank you so much Chiquita Dental Care.

Fantastic experience: Very respectful professional kind well studied. Thank you all! Ginger Also looking forward to receiving your continued support.

Fantastic experience: We both go to our dentist down the street, not because it’s close but because we are always being told that we have beautiful smiles. Our dentist keeps us smiling and people notice that. Thank you Chiquita Dental Care for keeping us beautiful.

Fantastic experience: So impressed with Chiquita Dental, the office is beautiful! Everyone is SO kind and the care is top notch!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so nice and pleasant. . The care they give us 5 stars! Glad I found them ! It’s not easy switching dentists or doctors but they made it easy! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I am full of anxiety for the dentist. Chiquita Dental staff really put me at ease. I never had any pain from the procedure. I will be continuing a much needed dental plan with them. So pleased!

Fantastic experience: I had a dental emergency. I bit into a carrot and my molar broke! I had a consultation with Dr. Riveria and her tech Jovanni. The gentleness, caring and professionalism were above and beyond. I came back one week later to have the problem tooth removed. Once again absolutely the best dental experience I have had in years. Jovanni helped me work through my high dental fear so Dr. Riveria could do her job. I cannot say enough good things for this wonderful team.

Negative experience: I called this place to make an appointment as I was referred by someone I work with . I called and was told they have a $49 cleaning and $139 comprehensive exam . This one had no availability so I was told they can schedule me at Midpoint Dental since they are sister companies. I proceeded to answer the health questions and I was told by the receptionist I was scheduled for a cleaning. However midpoint gave me grief and said I was scheduled for a cavity and what Chiquita told me was false .And now I keep getting the run around with the Chiquita dental as no one can seem to help answer why I was told such things.

Negative experience: She was setting up to take xrays. Put the mouth in and said bite down. As she walked away she tripped over the cord. Yanking my bad neck to the right. Almost pulled my teeth out of my mouth. Causing muscle spasms from my ear to my jaw and down to my shoulder. Still bothering me now! She did a good job cleaning. But it wasn't worth the pain I'm still in! It was accidental. But I didn't go there for more neck pain!

Fantastic experience: My first appointment with Chiquita Dental went well. Liliana explained everything thoroughly and made me feel comfortable. I was especially impressed with the fact that they go over the expected out of pocket costs BEFORE the treatment.

Fantastic experience: The staff was just amazing. Took care of me very promptly with no pain whatsoever. Very happy with the outcome. Would recommend Chiquita dental to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I truly think Chiquita dental is the best !!! I’ve been to many… I’m old and have lousy teeth!!! Every one is kind and caring!! Dr Welch is great and does the best work!!!

Fantastic experience: It’s always like to be greeted by the people that work here. My husband and I have been going here for a couple of years now and wouldn’t change. Dr. Welch is very nice, all his stuff are as well. I feel they go way above and behond to see that you are comfortable while you are there.

Fantastic experience: Lilly is a wonderful hygienist, my daughter and I always have a great experience. Dr Welch always does a great job with her dental procedures and refers her out when necessary for invasive procedures. Very happy with our experience at Chiquita dental

Fantastic experience: I go to see Paige for my regular teeth cleaning sessions, and she is just amazing! Dr Welch is awesome too!! Highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: Dr Welch’s quality of work is unmatched by any dentist I’ve had previously. He fixed a crown I had done by two dentists in Colorado Springs, both separate efforts, both unsatisfactory—gap problems. He fixed my gap problem, now I have minimal issues getting food trapped between my teeth at the gum line. His replacement crowns for my two additional teeth teeth are perfect! He’s a tooth artist and engineer!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved this dental office! Very professional, friendly and welcoming staff. It was my first time visiting this office and would highly recommend. The personalized experience for the exam and cleaning was amazing, never experienced such a seamless and relaxing dental cleaning.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Had a chipped inlay, they got me in the same day and fixed it all during the same visit. The doctor was excellent and the office staff was very efficient and professional!

Fantastic experience: It was a great experience from the time I walked in until the time I left. Everyone was so nice when you checked in. The girls in the back were great. Then I met Dr. Welsh & I was so impressed on how compassionate & genuine he was. I was an emergency new patient & I am definitely going to stay with them. 4-4-23 Just saw Dr. Serica & he was also very compassionate & explained things in a way you can understand. I also had a cleaning & the girl was awesome & gentle. She was very sweet & knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Grateful to have found this office. Paige is fantastic and offers easy to follow cleansing tips. The dentist was warm, professional and shared helpful info about my treatment.

Fantastic experience: I went for my 6 month checkup and cleaning. Paige the hygienist was awesome. She's very thorough and explained any and all issues she observed during the process. The dentist then came in for my checkup and he was also very thorough with my checkup. Zero complaints on my end.

Fantastic experience: This was the BEST experience I've had since moving to Cape Coral area. Dr. Rivera, Hygienist Jessica and the entire staff was so professional, friendly and welcoming. They answered all my questions and I didn't feel rushed. This practice is so clean and very detailed in everything they do. ln all my years of seeing different dentist, Chiquita Dental, Cape Coral is by far an EXCEPTIONAL Dental group. I highly recommend them. ❤️

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about this office. Since moving to SWFL in 2021, I had 2 other dentists before this that a) tried to charge me crazy amounts of money for things I didn’t need, and b) were not billing correctly. I am so glad I found Chiquita Dental. They don’t do either of those things. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I just received outstanding customer service from Rebecca who went out of her way to help find new patient appointments for me and my husband. THANKS SO MUCH!!!

Fantastic experience: From the time you enter the office you can feel the caring staff warmth. The office is beautiful. They offer blankets, headphones and a few other options to make your dental experience calming. Best dental office I have ever gone to.

Fantastic experience: Very clean, organized, efficient office. Love the dentist, hygienists and dental assistants…and office staff. Very friendly. I would recommend them to anyone searching for a dentist.

Fantastic experience: EVERYONE from front staff to medical staff and Doctor are Absolutely Outstanding! This place is Amazing and I highly recommend it! I have not seen a dentist office this great in a very long time!!! I can’t say enough good about it!

Fantastic experience: This dentist office has been by far the best experience I have received and I drive one 1.5 hours round trip just to have my teeth cleaned. Paige does a phenomenal job and is a great dental hygienist and the doctors are also very great to work with. I never feel pressured into procedures and overall they run an ethical practice.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough for the dental care i receive at Chiquita Dental! Katherine Skrzypek, Dental Hygenist has much experience, prompt, explains all & generally made me at ease. The office is beautiful and clean.

Fantastic experience: I will be the first to admit that I am a horrible dental patient. I have a tremendous amount of fear, even for the most routine office visits. On my first visit to Chiquita Dental they treated me better than any dentist I’ve seen yet in Florida… I highly recommend them!
