Sobedentist

I have been avoiding extracting my wisdom teeth for years!!! I finally came to Sobe dentist to get a cleaning and felt so comfortable with the Dentists that I decided to get my wisdom teeth out. Dr. Mantovani took out my wisdom teeth in like 2 mins and I felt NO PAIN. He was honestly amazing!!! I was so beyond nervous and they were extremely patient and understanding. I would definitely recommend :)

Yikes. Don’t go here. After polishing and subsequently chipping off my husband’s filling in the front, the dentist fixed it a few days later… Only to have it completely fall off two more times. We are all human, we make mistakes. I get it. But to have the dentist be aggressive about it and try to put blame on my husband? Not only was her demeanor about it aggressive, it was downright rude. Not very professional, even for Miami Beach. Afterwards, we changed dentists right away. After talking to some colleagues and other dental professionals around town, we quickly realized that amongst real professionals, this place and this dentist has a bad reputation. It is more sad than anything that healthcare professionals like this exist. Writing this in warning for others… There are other decent places to go! This is not one of them. BTW… many frustrations were expressed multiple times and we were met with hostility from the actual dentist (a pathetic excuse for a dentist). Our new dentist looked at 2 crowns my husband had done just the other day and was appalled at the poor work. This place is all talk and just plain sad. This review is written to warn others. Stay away!

Dr. Mantovani is absolutely amazing! At the age of 24, I just got 2 wisdom teeth taken out. As we all normally are when we go to the dentist, I walked in totally nervous but the entire staff really made me feel so comfortable.
I had a nice comfy blanket & pillow, beats headphones to block out those noises we all hate, and a doctor that was so confident in his craft.
The «bad» part is that I had to get my teeth removed lol. No one WANTS to do that, but I highly recommend Dr. Mantovani and the entire SoBe Dentist office for a wonderful stress free visit.

My wife and I were on vacation from Boston, staying in Miami overnight and catching a flight in Ft. Lauderdale the next morning heading to Punta Cana. On the morning we were going to Ft. Lauderdale my 3 unit temporary bridge fell out. This was very visible and very embarrassing. The last thing I wanted to do was try to find a dentist in Punta Cana.
As we were heading out of Miami, my wife noticed SoBe Dentist. I pulled over immediately and ran to the front door just to find out that they opened at 9am and it was 8:40am. I noticed a receptionist walking around so I knocked on the door a few times and she came to open. I explained the situation and then noticed Dr. Mantovaniwalk in back… I got his attention, told him what was happening and stressed my major time constraint. He told me to site right down. I sat down, he did everything that needed to be done and i was on my way. We made it to the airport just in time.
This is a great example of service that we don’t see much of anymore. They opened the door when they were closed, they understood my dilemma and went above and beyond to do everything in their power to help the situation. What’s more? They were extremely friendly and caring through the process.
This truly would have ruined my entire vacation. Dr. Mantovaniwalk and SoBe Dental saved the day! I highly recommend them.
Thanks again!

Amazing work on my veneers. I’ve had them for four years and as happy today as I was then. Anytime there has been an issue both doctors have stood behind their work and made my smiles, and bite, perfect. Happily recommend then to anyone.

This dentist office is first class service. The moment you walk in the door you have an amazing experience! For someone like me who dislikes the dentist, the professionals put you at east instantly. They offer soothing music on headphones and paraffin wax! I have received the best dental care here! Don’t miss out on this experience!

The doctors and staff at Sobedentist are amazing! They are attentive and knowledgeable. Since I come to this dental place I feel at peace coming to the dentist. It feels like a spa and they have the most comfortable chairs. They give you pillows and headphones so you can relax while doing your teeth. The hygienist is very friendly and gentle. I recommend the dentists here to everyone. Dr Mantovani has done all my cavities and now I just come here for my cleanings.

DO NOT GO HERE! AWFUL!!!
I never write reviews… But I bought a groupon to go in for a simple cleaning. Granted my last cleaning was 9 months ago, so maybe I expected them to say I was over due, but it was worse.
The woman who brought me in (whom I assumed is married to the Dr.) kept making me feel absolutely horrible about my teeth the minute she took photos when I hadn’t even seen the doctor yet to confirm what she was saying (fyi my teeth are straight and white they just need a good cleaning).Then when the doctor came in which felt like 2 minutes, he told me I had 3 cavities and asked if I smoked (which I don’t) and gave me a weird look when I said «no».
THEN they proposed to tell me I needed a deep cleaning and b/​c I already paid for the groupon she said she’d «give me a deal» of $ 650 to do a deep cleaning. Which meant they’d numb my mouth and only clean one side that day. I’d have to come back to clean the other. All of this while I’m sitting in the chair and felt completely bombarded. Oh and she dipped my hands in hot wax the moment I sat down bc she said it made them soft and covered them with bags. lol
Nothing she said was ever prefaced or explained. It was just thrown at me as if I had some terrible dental problem. Speaking to people about their health and money is serious and I don’t think they have a clue about how to approach situations. They basically wanted my money and this was a horrible experience.
Needless to say I’ve booked another appt at my previous dentist in frt laud, who assured me that every cleaning they did was deep cleaning.

Great service! From the Receptionist to the Dr. Escotos consultation to the woman who cleaned my teeth, everyone was so professional and attentive… They spoil you if you have any wait time in between with paraffin hand dips, and headphones and neck pillows. I think you can watch movies too but I just relaxed w my music… Dr. Escort I explained to me the work I will need done and why, along w financing options. She is very kind and really knows her stuff! I would absolutely suggest Sobe Dentist to anyone looking for great service and well trained professionals!

I love my dentist! My husband, my children and i have been coming to SoBe for over 5 years and the staff and doctors are always so nice. I love the spa menu and my kids no longer cry when it’s check up time. Marcela is the best hygienist and Dr. Escoto makes us feel like family!!!

Being new to the area I took advantage of a groupon deal for a cleaning and x-​rays. I met with a friendly dentist who welcomed me and told me that he’d be taking care of me. I then came in for the x-​rays. After waiting for 45 minutes they took the x-​rays. The tech was very polite and apologetic for my wait time. They only took two x-​rays. I’ve had x-​rays before and I remember a lot more pics. Whatever, I was there for the cleaning and exam. 20 minutes later the woman who would be cleaning my teeth invited me into her cleaning office. She was very nice and friendly. She started cleaning my teeth and 20 minutes later she was all done. All she did was take a drill to my teeth and then she flossed them. No scraping? This was definitely not the cleanings I’m used to. Maybe, because I was on a groupon they see that as a reason to do a half-​assed job. But, I look at it as their audition to earn my business. The doctor came in after the cleaning and pointed out some cracked fillings that needed to be replaced. He pointed them out and asked me if I had any questions and then he was gone.
Everyone at Sobedentist was very nice and friendly and the office was clean and tidy. However, the cleaning was hardly a cleaning. For me, the lackluster cleaning effort will hold me back from giving them more business. The fact that they didn’t take the time to do a good job makes me question their ability to do more advanced dental work. Which may or may not be the truth. The dentist may be very good. I’ll never know because I won’t be going back.
On a side note, when they were discussing the future work that I needed. I felt as if I was being treated as if I couldn’t afford the services. She kept talking about the financing and that I could get a co-​signer to qualify and make payments. She went on and on about how I could make the payments over a few years and pay a modest interest rate of 14%. Maybe, again, it was because I was in on a groupon and maybe that client has some challenges with affording expensive work. Future recommendation –just let me know my payment options and move on.
UPDATE — I just got back from another dentist who took a full set of x-​rays. No cracked fillings to cavities. SOBEDENTIST are scam artists. They said I need two inlays and a cavity. For $ 2800 — no wonder they wanted to book me right away for my appointment. Stay away. Changing from two stars to zero. SCAM SCAM

I recently moved to Miami from the North East and visited Dr. Mantovani when one of my veneers cracked. I requested that he reach out to the dentist who placed the veneer originally to ensure the color and shape were consistent. When I arrived the following week, he admitted he had not called … and of course the veneer color was incorrect. I had to schedule yet another appointment to have the issue corrected. On my third visit, his wife, Dr. Escoto, placed the new veneer. She was rude, belittling, and generally unhelpful when I asked for information about their services. They made no concessions or apologies for not contacting my prior dentist or their mistake. At $ 250 per consultation, $ 100+ per cleaning, and $ 1500 per new veneer — I would expect the utmost in service and civility. Did I mention the waiting area was also cluttered and dusty? Safe to say I won’t be returning any time soon, nor do I recommend their services.

I had a crown come loose and went to SOBE Dentist to get the work done. Regretfully the tooth bed below the crown was breaking apart and required a root canal. It was my first (and hopefully last) root canal so I was a bit concerned about pain and discomfort. Well Dr. Mantovani performed his magic painlessly. Yes, no pain. I left there with my temporary crown and returned a couple weeks later to complete the work and I never felt any discomfort with either procedure. SOBE Dentist also kept to their appointment times, which is appreciated as well. Thank you.

Dr. Escoto & Dr. Mantovani are the best of the best. They have been giving my sister Melani and I the best smilies. They definetly know how to keep our smilies beautiful that will last us for a life time. Thanks for everything, you are the best. Great work for reasonable prices and can’t forget about the awesome job they do on teeth whitening. So glad you have been my dentist for all of these years.

honestly what a SCAM of doctors there are in Miami. If you need dental care please make yourself a favor and fly somewhere else. it’s going to be cheaper and less stressfull. Even in Mexico i had better experiences!
This office says you can go for a free consultation, but once your there, they just start inventing things to do to still your money: «you came here for a cleaning right?». «do you want me to refill your cavities»??. Even if you take your own exams they take more «x-​rays» just in case, so then they can over charge you. Avoid this dentists.

Every time I go to SoBe Dentist I feel like I’m a «VIP.» They are so friendly and warm, and they take their time. I don’t stress out or avoid the dentist like I used to. I also love that they give me a menu of «perks» to choose from when I go — I highly recommend the paraffin hand wax treatment…

Amazing service!
i was made aware a while ago that i had to take out my wisdom teeth but was so scared!
i finally got the courage to make the appointment and pull those little puppies out!
not gonna lie i was pretty nervous
the doctor numbed me up
meanwhile the assistant made me feel as comfortable as possible offering blankets, neck pillows, parafin treatments, movie lenses with the film of my choice off netflix!
Doctor Mantovani came in literally FIVE mins pass by and out came my wisdom tooth! fully impacted, roots and curled and crazy. ZERO PAIN! and recovery was cake.
i was out that same night. no need for pain medications either.
love my experience and
!

I am UnilocalING THIS just TWO DAYS after having a filling and a widsom tooth extracted. The BEST dental experience in my ENTIRE LIFE. If you are in the market for a new dentist absolutely drop me a note and I will tell you how to get a FREE cleaning. I’m serious. I moved to Miami from New Jersey and was worried that I wouldn’t find a good dentist. EASY PEASY! I looked at some Unilocal reviews and given I am a total wimp when it comes to pain (no kids no tattoos), I made an appointment and got my x rays sent to SOBE Dentist. I was so used to the constant UPSALE from my dentist from home that I was sooooo happy to find true professionals who are truly interested in using the best technology to literally show you what’s up in your mouth. My dentist at home said I needed 6 fillings. I got 2 and then came down to SOBE Dentist and they took this cool pen thingy with a camera on it and went tooth by tooth showing me which needed fillings and which were okay. Only one needed a filling and the wisdom tooth had to come out and I was able to see why on the TV monitor. I was worried because it would be an expense but they turned me onto Care Credit as an option.
Ok now let me take you through my procedure I swear to you I have gotten facials that were more painful. First they put topical anesthetic on my gum, gave me a shot to numb me. That sucked but I had Khloe and Lamarr on the flatscreen so I was a little bit distracted and within 3 seconds the needle was out and the numb was IN! Filling was done in under 10 minutes. Then came the extraction. My tooth was really far up there and all I felt was tugging, no pain. But then I got into it like I was sayin GIT IT GIT IT! haahha! Doc was laughing it was out in under 3 minutes. Then comes the aftermath…
I left the office and was waiting for the pain to hit. Other than a dull headache I was fine. Good enough to hit the publix to food shop, put groceries away, get the hydrocodone and antibiotics from CVS and read some magazines and facebook to everyone concerned about my day at the dentist.
So if you haven’t found a dentist you like shoot me a note and I’ll hook you up with a free cleaning.

I would not recommend this dentist. Dr. Escoto is friendly but frankly she lacks the skills you’d want from someone you entrust your health. I had a filing put in just 2 years ago and it now needs to be replaced.
When is comes to your health you only get one shot an if your not up to the task then you deserve a poor review. They sell you here on the latest an greatest equipment but to be a good dentist you need to be good with your hands. The equipment isn’t doing the work the dentist is.
Dr. Mantovani her husband is a better dentist and often cleans up her mistakes. Having said that how can you be comfortable going to a place that operates like that.
Perhaps for basic cleanings this place is good if it’s convenient beyond that, I’d recommend you look esleswhere. I finally found a good dentist in Brickell.
