Lake Mary Dental: Lall Deoraj R DDS

Amazing experience at Lake Mary Dental. Hadn't been to the dentist in a while and was referred to this office by a friend. I had lost a filling near a front tooth and knew it was time to take action. Knew I probably needed a root canal soon. I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Du Lac to see what needed to be done. Upon entering the office the receptionist knew my name and within ten minutes I was escorted by dental assistant Jessica who explained step by step what would take place during the consult. Jessica took digital pictures of my entire mouth. This office uses state of the art digital x-rays, no cardboard cutouts. Jessica was awesome. After reviewing my x-rays, Dr. Du Lac introduced herself and went over the plan of action. Yes, I needed a root canal and I was envisioning big needles and pain. Dr. Du Lac explained no needles, ""we use a wand"" to numb the tooth. I was so relieved. Before my root canal I needed a thorough cleaning. Went for my cleaning and was introduced to my hygienist, Terry . He explained exactly what would take place during the cleaning and offered this numbing gel in case I had any sensitive areas. i took the gel and my teeth were clean and no pain. Two weeks later I had my root canal. Dr. Du Lac was awesome. No needles, no pain, and she paused along the way to make sure I was doing okay. She works to soothing music that would relax anyone and tells you exactly what she is doing. After the root canal, she checked everything and had my temporary cap ready to go. I couldn't believe how great my tooth looked and no pain during the whole procedure. Two weeks later I received my permanent cap which Dental assistant Michael prepared. He was awesome as well. Dr. Du Lace checked on the fit and I had my new tooth that fits perfect and looks like my natural tooth. Please, if you read this review and have any dental issues, go see Dr. Du Lac and get the best dental experience ever. She is not only an extraordinary dentist, but a kind, compassionate human being who is committed to excellence. \r more

Lake Mary Dental(LMD) should not be a dental office (healthcare) they should be Car dealer. I absolutely agree with Jessica S.. First they try to sell you a tooth brush and treatment that are not covered by your insurance (upgrade) which is nothing but money for LMD. My total treatment without upgrade was $400 but with upgrade $1100. I told them to just do whatever my insurance coves, the girl at front told me that they have to talk to Dr. and get back me; I never receive any call after leaving few voice mails. I changed my dentist. They deserve 0 start not even 1. This kind of service and doctors office give bad names to health care industry.\r \r I think Michelle S. must be one of the staff!\r more

Excellent service, excellent staff. Dr. DuLac is amazing and truly the best dentist I have ever gone to. I would highly recommend them to anyone.\r more

Total scam with this Dentist and his Endodontist. The Dentist I used (Dr Lall) at Lake Mary Dental referred this Endo...turns out Lall is Lipkins(Orlando Endodontist Specialists) # 1 referral guy . I was told by Lipkin I would have to get a same day appt with Lall to get a crown because he wouldnt be able to save my exisiting one during my root canal retreat. Turns out that the standard practice is to wait 2 weeks for the retreat to heal and make sure there isnt any infection before spending the $700.00 for a new one. I then went to Lall to ask for a referral(per my ins comp) for a different Endo and he REFUSED leaving me with no choice but to start all over again and find a new dentist. My opinion...These 2 shysters should be removed from practice. And by the way...my new Endo did the procedure with no prob and saved crown which he guaranteed would happen and didnt understand why Lipkin said otherwise. more

I sincerely feel that I have found a great dental office, finally. Others I have visited provided half the service for twice the price. But Lake Mary Dental definitely does an awesome job with their patients. Everyone was very friendly each and every time I visited. I especially like the fact that you can see the results of your x-rays as soon as they are taken. That alone made me feel comfortable because I can see right away, that what they are saying is wrong with my teeth, is actually true. All in all, the dental office is outstanding and I will definitely continue as a patient. more

Before coming to Lake Mary Dental the first time, I had only one cavity in over 40 years and had always received high praise from my hygenists. Upon my first visit to Lake Mary Dental, a had to have the cavity redone and twice was ""upsold"" to more expensive debridement procedures before a ""regular"" cleaning would cut it. I cringed every time I went to the hygenist because she would chide me for not flossing daily. \r \r So,....I tried two other dental offices. One had archaic x-ray equipment, and I was forced to take uncomfortable numerous x-rays. The exams, dental work and cleanings were sub-par as well. I have had chronic tooth pain after a cavity I had filled that they have been unable to remedy.\r \r My husband went to the second dentist we chose. He had to get a cracked crown repaired and had some cavities filled that the new dentist found. The facilities were too small and understaffed, and the dentist was often distracted. On both visits, my husband was insufficiently numbed and experienced pain. \r \r Within one week my husband was able to get in to Lake Mary Dental and see Dr Lall. Upon his examination, Dr. Lall found one filling done just a week earlier had already cracked and the new crown had been placed over a cavity! With the use of extensive digital x-rays and by focusing a digital camera over the area during the exam, Dr. Lall was able to show my husband exactly what he was seeing. \r \r Both my husband and I will not be shopping for new dentists. We are now life-long patients of Lake Mary Dental. The office is well organized and well staffed. The equipment is state-of-the art, and exams from both the doctor and the hygenist are the most thorough you will ever receive. \r \r By the way, when I see my new hygenist-- I will graciously accept his/her well-derserved condemnation when I don't floss every day like I should! more

Overall, I was unsure about Lake Mary Dental until today. I went for my first visit about three months ago, to set up a new patient account. I was very impressed with Zenaida who took my xrays and pictures of my teeth. After all the xrays and the oral exam were complete, I was told I could be squeezed in for a cleaning. Of course I obliged and went in for a cleaning with Marilyn. While Marilyn was very straight-forward and thorough, I was not overly happy with the periodontal exam that cost an extra $15.00 and the ""specialized cleaning"" for my gums (another $40) that was recommended. I felt as though my gums were in pretty good shape (seeing as they explained during the exam that if the hygienist says between numbers 1-3 you're in good shape, and 4/5 means you're in the red zone, and I had all 1-3). I really didn't want someone ""irrigating my gums with a peroxide-like substance"" to kill the ""infection..."" especially not for another $40.00 that my insurance wouldn't cover! To their defense, they did explain that if my gums bleed a bit that they would always want to irrigate, and after arguing with Marilyn for about 10 minutes (literally, I felt REALLY uncomfortable, but it was definitely an argument) she finally went ahead and just cleaned my teeth the old fashioned way. Overall, I am glad that this dental office really understands the dangers of not taking care of your mouth, gums, and teeth. Although I was really uncomfortable with the gum cleaning argument, Dr. Lall saw me, showed me a spot on my xrays, and recommended that I come back and get an old filling drilled because there was decay underneath it. Today I went for the filling, and Dr. Lall was amazing. He was so comforting, very personable, and gentle. While I questioned whether or not I wanted to come back after the gum treatment argument, overall, I'm glad I did. In the future, if it is recommended that I have my gums irrigated, I may go for the treatment. For now, I'm making sure I floss and use mouthwash to hopefully avoid going back and needing the treatment. The skinny on this place: they are definitely trying to up-sell you as much stuff as possible. Just remember as a patient (and as a consumer) you always have the right to say you don't want something, whether it be the toothbrush, invisaline, zoom whitening, etc. Lake Mary Dental is in a very high income area, and there are customers who walk in and want these things. Though I'm not one of those folks, I understand why LMD pitches the sales to everyone regardless of who you are. I know if I were in the dental business and had a ton of student loans, I'd do the same thing. HOWEVER, if the owners of LMD ever read this review, as a person who isn't in a place to spend a lot on my dental work, it does make me feel a bit uncomfortable walking into an office that is trying to sell you things left and right. It made me feel like I might not be able to trust the dentist, and perhaps that the office might recommend superfluous procedures to get an extra buck out of me. Not that that is the case with this practice, but in this day and age there are a lot of dishonest people running businesses and the modern day consumer is extremely skeptical of any and all sales pitches. more

Lake Mary Dental is a quality business where comfort and care are at the top of their list. The atmosphere is friendly and nice while Ellis Fuller, D.D.S. was both knowledgeable and able to translate information. Also for instance, Zoraida, my technician was very courteous while taking my X-Rays (she even got me a cup of coffee). I know coffee at the dentist more

After having many problems with dentists in the past 3 years, I was hesitant to try a new dentist. Boy, was I in for a treat. Great staff and office. Dr. Lall was very efficient and friendly. Terry did a great job with my cleaning, explaining everything to me. Asst Zoraida also was great. I will not hesitate to recommend them. Both my husband and I are patients and both of us are very pleased. I feel like we are a team and have the same goals of healthy teeth and gums. more

Being a new patient to any doctor/dentist office is not usually the most pleasant feeling. So I wasn't sure what to expect when I entered the office of Lake Mary Dental. After the warm greeting by the front associates, I could tell that I just picked the right dentist office! My dental hygenist, Diane, was very knowledgable and offered recommendations in order to keep my teeth as healthy as possible. My second visit to have my teeth cleaned was great! Terry was very informative and explained every procedure to ensure my awareness. I feel like I've made the best decision by selecting Lake Mary Dental and would encourage anyone seeking a change to make the switch over to Lake Mary Dental!! more

Terry is the Bomb! In a good way. he is always very concerned about my dental hygene and gives suggestions on which products would help me keep my bleeding gums under control. He is always pleasant and smiling. My hubby and I always request for him. Thanks Terry and please don't ever leave Lake Mary Dental Office. more

Jessica Meier was a great help to me. Helping me with answering all my questions so I had a better understanding about what was wrong with my teeth, and with ways to fix them. I am a new patient and I love this dentist that I am going to , they are different from all the rest . more

I have been a patient of Lake Mary Dental for the past 9 years. I have found them to be most professional and I always leave their office very pleased with my treatment.\r I recently had a problem that required an unscheduled appointment and Nidya did a great job of working me into their busy schedule. She is such an awesome asset to this practice that I felt compelled to comment. I never feel like ""just another patient"" at Lake Mary Dental and I have recommended them to several people over the years. more

I have been going to Lake Mary Dental for numerous years. I was afraid of the dentist before Dr. Lall, he is the most gentle dentist. He really makes you feel comfortable and always makes sure you are not feeling any pain! Kendra is MY assistant! She is awesome, very knowledgeable and always on top of everything during my visit. I am always greeted by the friendly front office staff the minute I walk in the door. I am so thankful to have such a great dental team and I recommend them to everyone. The office itself is very modern and clean. The area surrounding the office is quiet and a nice part of town. Thanks Lake Mary Dental for a great job!!! more

Marylin is my hygenist and she always greets me with a smile and a positive attitude. She accommodates my busy work schedule and I always leave feeling great. My mouth never feels sore but instead feels refreshed. more

Jessica was the hygenist for my 4 year old daughter. She was able to get the xrays and clean her teeth. My daughter had a great time and is not afraid of the dentist!!! more

I would like to say your Accounts Manager Nydia Adorno was awesome. She was so helpful & responded to my questions & needs immediately. She was very professional & is a great assest to your company.\r \r I would also like to say the whole staff was very professional. Dr Lall is the best & I would recommend him to family & friends.

Lake Mary Denatl is awesome!!!! Charrise and Nida really helped me out today! Customer service is a ""10"" I would recommend Lake Mary Dental to everyone!!!! My husband is going to be a new patient and he is looking foward to seeing Tony!!!! more

Our family have been patients of Lake Mary Dental for over five years. We all love the high degree of professionalism they demonstrate, and the office is always welcoming. Marilyn has been my hygenist for the last four years, and she is the best -- always thorough and gentle at the same time. My teeth always feel great when I am leaving the office. Dr. Ellis is great -- always has a great attitude and is also a very good listener when someone may have some dental problems. My husband and son both swear by Lake Mary as well, and they do not like dental offices!! more

I have visited several dentists having lived multiple places before settling in Lake Mary 20 years ago, and I was skeptical since I had a few negative experiences; however, my experiences with Dr. Lall at Lake Mary Dental have been nothing but professional and pleasant, yes imagine that more
