I will start by saying that the office staff is very sweet, and very accommodating. The scheduling was always great and they were able to fit me in at moments notice.
However, I will not be returning to Dr. Belle's office, nor will I suggest this dentist to anyone. After receiving care from Dr. Belle over a span of about 5 months with over 6 procedures, I had an awkward run-in with the doctor and decided to find a new dentist. I was referred by a friend to a great dentist down in south tampa, and the x-rays that Dr. Belle had taken a little less than 6 months prior were unusable by this other dentists standards. After taking new digital x-rays(that Dr. Belle did not have), the new dentist found that 2 of the fillings done by Dr. Belle needed to be replaced and were done poorly. Also, a larger more long-term finding was a crown that I had done about 10 years ago(by a completely different dentist in orlando) didn't quite fit my back tooth, and was causing extreme decay to my tooth and gums and needed to be replaced immediately. If Dr. Belle's team had better x-ray machines and detection devices, they could have caught this extremely bad tooth decay from the crown. Their X-ray machines did not show the decay or the ill-fitting crown.... Needless to say, I will not be recommending this dentist to any friends or family... or even enemies. They are very polite, accommodating, and friendly, but didn't take care of my teeth- Which is what you pay for when going to a dentist
