Papania Family Dentistry

"Amazing staff! I had a dental emergency and my dentist couldn't get me in and referred me here. They got me in within 2 hours on a Friday even. Dr.Peterson was great and his assistant just as great. My family will be switching to this dentist for all future needs."

"The dental tech. Michele was so communicative and gentle during my cleaning. I even scheduled an appointment with her for my next exam/cleaning in 6 months!"

"After visiting several “pediatric dentists” that were not the right fit, I had the perfect dentist here all along with Dr. Rose and didn’t realize it. Dr. Rose did a fantastic job of giving us all of our options to fix some cavities, and more importantly, to note, she gave us options. The other pediatric dentists we visited gave us their options, the ways they wanted to treat cavities, with little parental choice, which were for using nitrous, numbing, and the parent with no option to be present. I am so grateful Dr. Rose gave us options and with those options my children were able to receive compassionate care and no need of the scary things. This was a great visit and I now they are much more comfortable at the dentist, and this is the most important thing for kids. Thank you Papania for great options, and a great practice."

"Dr Peterson is hands down the best dentist on the Gulf Coast. He is very attentive to his patients needs. His knowledge surpasses his youthful appearance. He is very good at what he does. I recommend Dr Peterson at Papania Family Dentistry for all your needs."

"The entire staff here is amazing. My kid fell and broke his front tooth the day before Christmas eve. I called in around 11 in the morning and Dr Rose said she would stay through lunch and get his tooth fixed. He wouldn’t have been able to get through the appointment without Dr. Rider and her dental assistant Samantha. Samantha, her assistant, was the kindest, and walked my child through step by step what they were gonna do, and made sure he was comfortable. She was outstanding. Dr. Rider has a phenomenal bedside manor and I gained her trust instantly from our first appointment with her. I was so worried we would go through the Christmas break weekend with a jagged tooth. 10/10 customer service! Highly recommend them for any and all of your dentistry needs!"
