Dental Arts of Florida: Dr Fred Tepedino, DMD

Dr Patel and his dental assistant Fay were absolutely amazing. Literally one of the BEST experiences I had at a dental office. I got a root canal and I was in absolutely NO PAIN at all! Dr. Patel and Fay made sure I was comfortable the entire time. They even explained the process to me to bring me comfort during the procedure. This place is a 10/10!

I had a really bad experience with this dentist office. It honestly felt like they mislead and manipulate patients by offering services they don’t even actually provide. Everything sounds good when you first talk to them, but once you get there, it’s a completely different story. I scheduled my appointment, took time out of my day, and showed up expecting to get the work done. Then suddenly they tell me they "don’t feel comfortable" doing the procedure. No real explanation, no solution, just a waste of my time. It’s frustrating because they set expectations they can’t meet. This was one of the worst customer experiences I’ve had. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for reliable or honest dental care.

Anna, Kayla, Gwen and Dr. Salgado were great with my autistic 14 yo. He usually doesn't do well with dentist, but they were kind and patient with him and he got through the appointment with no issues and no fuss. Great staff and very friendly and attentive.

I recently had a dental procedure done with Dr. Tepedino, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Dr. Tepedino was incredibly polite, attentive, and took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. His calm and professional demeanor really put me at ease. At my initial appointment, dental assistant Allie was amazing. I came in extremely anxious and nervous, but she handled it with so much care and compassion—it truly made a difference. At a follow-up visit, dental assistant Chelsie continued that same level of excellent care. Her communication and attention to detail were exceptional. The office staff, especially Alexa, deserves recognition as well. She was so patient and understanding with my nervous energy, and helped me feel more comfortable from the moment I walked in. On top of the great care, the team went above and beyond working with my insurance to make sure I had coverage with minimal out-of-pocket costs—something that’s becoming increasingly rare. Out of all the dental offices I’ve experienced between Duval and Clay counties, this has by far been one of the best. Highly recommend!

I never thought I’d say this, but it was actually fun going to the dentist for a change! Gwen is absolutely awesome — we shared so many laughs together, and she made the visit genuinely enjoyable. Anna and Michelle in the front office were kind, friendly, professional, and impressively efficient. Dr. Salgado has such a warm and engaging personality — she’s incredibly easy to connect with because of her tone, demeanor, and overall approach. And how could I not include Azim, the hygienist? She provided excellent care and was over-the-moon with kindness and hospitality. The entire team at Dental Arts of Florida is exceptional. I’m very thankful for their professional service, wonderful care, and the positive atmosphere they create. For the first time ever, I’m actually looking forward to my next dental visit in six months!

Ana was so sweet at the reception and Marlene did a great job with the cleaning! Always loved coming here, even when our insurance didn’t cover dental arts, we stuck with them anyways 🙂 they’re amazing all around!

Yall I literally cannot say enough good things about this dentist office. The staff is amazing. The dentist are amazing. My insurance doesn’t even take them and I still go to them. That should tell you how much I love this place. They are compassionate, professional, joyful to be around on your worst day. Not only that they are all incredibly talented in every aspect of their jobs. Highly recommend them💕💕💕💕
