KEA Smile Studio Of Tampa

"Where to begin? I really wanted to like this dental provider but unfortunately did not have a good experience both from a dental perspective and from an administrative in regards to their billing process. If you chose to give Dr. Ghosh an opportunity please ensure that she is IN Network with your dental insurance. If you ask the administrative staff and they say "yes, we accept your insurance", it is NOT the same as being in network. In my experience they did not do me the courtesy of either confirming they are in network OR doing their due diligence of sending and presenting a predetermination of my benefits with me BEFORE completing dental work. I had searched this provider in my dental insurance's "find a dentist" feature and they came up, leading me to believe they are in network but this was inaccurate. I am currently dealing with a surprise bill, which was initially over $2000 and after I asked questions my ledger was corrected to $1400. In their defense the administrative staff (Lynndy Le and Duyen Nguyen) who are no longer at this office were inexperienced and negligent with patient billing. I am not the only victim who is now having to pay for their mistakes. From a biological dental perspective, Dr. Ghosh is very passionate and knowledgable however she has a bit of tunnel vision in regards to recommending the Vivos appliance to almost every patient. It is a large investment (over $15K) and I decided to get a second and third opinions from other biological dentists who recommended against it due to my age and basic biological limitations on muscular and skeletal developments. I did have other work done at this office, a simple filling, and it threw my bite off. I went back twice for Dr. Ghosh to adjust the filling so I could bite down properly again and could not. For nearly 1 year I could not chew on the right side of my mouth without considerable pain. I went to another dentist who adjusted the filling and was able to chew better on the right side. This is partly due to the crowding I have going on and the way the filling increased the misalignment. Lastly, it seemed that every time I had a visit with Dr. Ghosh she would find something new wrong with my teeth, commenting on cracks, and offering to do laser surgery on my back gums where I had my wisdom teeth removed in my teens. At no other point in my entire life have I ever had a dentist find as many things wrong with my teeth and mouth as I did with Dr. Ghosh. This was a big red flag for me and one of the many reasons I decided to end my relationship with this office. You've been forewarned."

"Dr. Ghosh, her hygienist Anna and Teri, front desk are all so welcoming and loving. My boys 3 and 5 felt right at ease with Dr. Ghosh. And although Kea Smiles isnt a pediatric dentist she is wonderful with kids. Her kind and caring demeanor and motherly touch amongst her knowledge as a dental professional and biological dentist are why we switched from a pediatric dentist to Dr. Ghosh. If you need a family dental practice that not only serves your dental needs but helps you understand why you're having dental issues and seeks provide alternative solutions and goes the more holistic route seek no further. 5 stars recommend this practice."

"Dr Ghosh is an excellent dentist. In addition, she specializes in sleep apnea. Her dental work is exceptional, including removal of mercury fillings and replacing crowns."

"De. Ghoush is always gentle. She addresses my problems & takes care to explain things to me. I have been a patient of hers for a long time."

"This is not a holistic dentist. Dr. Ghosh uses a lot of AI technology rather than doing a good examination. We had full X-rays on my 14 yr old less than a year ago and she said, after briefly looking in his mouth, looks like a cavity I need all the X-rays again. I am a medical professional and can say there is no “safe radiation”. When asked if she could just take X-ray of the tooth in question she became very arrogant, defensive and condescending. I was SHOCKED. I see my own patients daily and would never speak to someone like that. She made statements of “I’m not Superman I don’t have X-ray vision”. When I asked her what does she do different than a regular dentist she stated that her fillings are holistic and biological and she works in a holistic way….. she stated she doesn’t know how long her biological fillings last because she is not at my house watching me brush my teeth every day to judge my level of dental hygiene. But when pressured she said they last 2-4 years…. So the same resin based fillings everyone else has. also she stated “ I am not God I can not magically repair the tooth and you can’t either” before she just left the room. I wish I had read an honest review before I took a day off work to drive farther when I was looking for natural remedies for teeth repair and routine dental cleaning without forced X-rays. Dr. Gosh informed me she knows much more than I could with my “internet search” and that natural healing is impossible before the above God statement. When making my appointment I spoke at length about what I was looking for and was reassured that only X-rays that were needed due to a problem during the exam would be taken and the dr. was “holistic” lol. This is just a word they are using for marketing. Maybe she was having a rough day I get it. But if you are going to label yourself holistic you should have the knowledge and skills to back it up. Not have a tantrum when asked legitimate questions."
