Best Dentist in Pompano Beach

History of Pompano Beach

When we at Awesome Smiles decided to stake down our home in Pompano Beach, we knew that we were making the best choice by becoming part of one of the finest communities within Florida. With its small-town feeling, kind citizens and lush history that people take pride in, it’s still such a surprise to realize that Pompano Beach is not as old as many may think.

Pompano Beach celebrated its 100-year incorporation in 2008. As the second oldest city in Broward County, it holds a lot of old-fashioned charm that people keep coming back to. When it was established in 1908, it was originally within Dade County, and it was known as a farming community that people would travel in and out of for goods or to visit others. In 1909, Palm Beach County was created with its border hitting the Cypress Creek Canal. A bit later in 1915, Broward County was created with a northern boundary at the Hillsboro Canal, which means that Pompano Beach had been in three counties in under 10 years.

It didn’t take long for the small community to start thriving. and in 1948, it became the city of Pompano Beach. The city quickly grew in size and with the sudden influx of new residents came stores, businesses, and a lot of nostalgia that can still be traced back today. Those who rushed to buy land within the city were attracted to the tropical climate and rich soil. They were thinking about getting rich off of crops. One of the earliest known fashionable crops was pineapples, but those in Pompano Beach had to compete with farmers in the Caribbean and Hawaii. To one up everyone else, farmers switch to growing tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables that proved to provide them with more financial rewards. One of the proudest features Pompano Beach holds is its dedication to preserving historically-styled houses that can’t be found anywhere else, including art deco, Mediterranean revival, gothic revival, modern, mission, and many more.

The Sample-McDougald house has been a major highlight on tours as it was built by Albert Neal Sample, an early pioneer, and was paraded to a new location so it could be kept safe and showed off for people to enjoy for years to come.

Because Pompano Beach is part of Broward County, that means great food and great times are also part of its reputation. Visitors can take a boat to check out Cap’s Place, which used to be a rum-runner’s casino. The restaurant holds a buffet-full of history within itself as the original Hasis family still runs it, and it’s been purported that some major figures have visited including Mariah Carey, Al Capone, and even Winston Churchill!

Even after its centennial in 2008, Pompano Beach continues to show how it’s a place meant for opportunity and promise. With clear links to its past, it’ll stay as a city that can keep on teaching the public about some of the most important parts of Southern Florida history.

Awesome Smiles is by far the best office I've experience. Being in the dental field myself, I can appreciate the professionalism of the office. The dentist and hygienist are very thorough and detailed. I look forward to coming in for my routine checkups and have made Awesome Smiles my home...

If I could give Awesome Smiles negative stars, I would. My experience here was an absolute train wreck, and it all comes down to the rude and incompetent Patricia Viriato.

First, I was told I needed a deep cleaning, and this so-called "professional" had the nerve to claim my insurance would only cover a measly 20%. When I called my insurance directly, they informed me I was actually covered for 85%—what a shocker! When I confronted Patricia about her blatant lie, she just doubled down, insisting it was still 20%. It was like talking to a wall made of ignorance.

Feeling pressured and trapped, I reluctantly agreed to fork over $900 upfront, believing I could get reimbursed later. They even coerced me into making a down payment right then and there.

To make matters worse, my insurance denied the claim because Awesome Smiles didn’t even perform the necessary periodontal charting. Seriously, how incompetent can one office be?

When I returned to demand a refund, Patricia acted as if I was the problem. Her attitude was dismissive and infuriating. She couldn’t accept that she messed everything up. After I insisted on speaking to a manager, I was finally told they would process a refund—but honestly, it felt like they were just trying to brush me off.

Do yourself a favor and avoid Awesome Smiles like the plague. Patricia is a prime example of everything wrong with customer service—rude, uninformed, and completely unhelpful. Save your time, money, and sanity—go anywhere else!

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Isabelle and Ana! They made me feel so comfortable during my visits, which was a relief since I was a bit nervous about the amount of work I needed done. They turned what could have been a stressful experience into a wonderful one, and I truly appreciate it. They also worked with my busy schedule, and the front desk staff was incredibly friendly. I highly recommend this place—everyone I interacted with was just fantastic!

My visits here have been great! Friendly, kind staff and they made me feel comfortable from the start to finish. The service quality is truly exceptional! I'm very happy with my visits! Dental assistant Manny is very attentive and kind!
The only exception is I wish if they promise incentives to their patients for bringing new patients that they would follow through on their promise.

I am literally the biggest baby when it comes to having to go to the dentist. I am just always so nervous and scared of any and everything. The staff and doctors at Awesome Smiles totally put me at ease. I felt greeted and like a VIP from the moment I walked in the door. Dr Isabelle Morris was my Doctor and she was very patient very understanding and kept me at ease the entire time. This has been my most memorable experience at a dentist's office and I feel encouraged to follow my treatment plan. I would definitely recommend this office and will be bringing my entire family here. Another great thing is their hours of operation 8am to 8pm so so convenient. Highly Recommended.. Latoya

I can't say enough about the fabulous experience I had with Dr. Michelle Luis. A true professional in every sense, she is compassionate, empathetic, and possesses a gift that immediately puts you at ease. Her treatment approach is truly collaborative, and she never pressured me to proceed until I was ready to do so. Her skill is unmatched, attention to detail is unparalleled, and - as someone who loathes visiting the dentist - possesses such a gentle touch, that I was never reminded that I was sitting in a dentist's chair. A finer dental experience I have yet to experience. If anyone were to ask, I would certainly recommend they see Dr. Michelle Luis as quickly as they can.

This dentist office are the best. They work to get you approved for some loan programs. Like me I didn't have the money to fix my teeth.I was in bad shape for years until I went to their establishment. Very professional and high tech, speedy service, great team work. Most of all the save you out of pocket money.

Try them trust me you won't regret it Thanks staff for taking care of my smile and saving me thousands of dollars.

The team at Awesome Smiles provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, where as going to the dentist traditionally has a negative connotation. All of the staff members are friendly and easy to get a long with. In fact, they all remember my name without hesitation. They took good care of my brother and myself. They recommended me to do the Invisalign and I am really enjoying the progress thus far with my treatment and their care.

I called originally for my partner to get a Root Canal done as an emergency visit. Awesome Smiles, was extremely accommodating to get him in next day. Other dental offices were wanting Full Payment on the day of procedure. Awesome Smiles was willing to work with us on a strict budget, we didn't have to pay for the initial visit. My partner got the Root Canal done, and then we went back a week later for the Crown to be put on. The energy of the whole office is very upbeat and everyone makes you feel as though your NOT going to a dull and boring dentist's office. We would definitely recommend to everyone. A+++++++.

This place is amazing. Great music and crew. They are full of great energy. I had an amazing time on my first visit. My biggest concern is was financing my dental treatments and they quelled all worries. I highly recommend this place for all your dental needs.

I highly recommend Awesome Smiles. I have an infection in my wisdom tooth and my consultation was completely free. Got a cheap script for antibiotics until I get all 4 of my messed up wisdom teeth taken out next week and they offer non credit check payments that are reasonable. Dental work can be super expensive but what they quoted me without insurance, I feel like this is a God send and probably the best price I’ve ever seen for what I need. Everybody there from reception (Isabella) to radiology (Jasmine) to my dentist Dr.Sunny was amazing and caring. I was a bit anxious going in cause of poor treatment by medical professionals in the past, but the low cost for amazing service put me at ease immediately and I look forward to going back.
