Engle Dentistry

I have dental anxiety and was totally put at ease visiting The Boulevard office and being greeted by a friendly receptionist whom I know was smiling under her mask. The nurse, Nicole, warmly greeted me in the reception area and felt more at ease. I met Dr Dinse for the first time who is very personable and well qualified. All in all a happy experience for a dental visit👍

Recently, a crown placed on two side-by-side implants came dislodged, with one abutment apparently broken off. The jagged edge of the broken-off abutment began lacerating my tongue, causing pain and inflammation. On Thursday, July 9, 2020 I called Engle Dentistry to schedule an emergency visit, and was offered an appointment the following day.

After a brief examination, Dr. Engle ordered X-rays. His first comment was that "...this will be very expensive". Dr. Engle then proceeded to provide some rough cost estimates, that appeared to approach five figures.

I explained to Dr. Engle that I have a home in the Naples area, and a vacation home in Colombia, South America where I spend time every year. I have been seeing the same dentist in Colombia for many years, and he does all my dental work. Also, I have dental insurance coverage in Colombia. I further explained that due to the Corona-19 virus situation, it is impossible for the foreseeable future to travel to Colombia for treatment, as the international airports there remain closed.

I asked Dr. Engle if he could provide a temporary solution to the pain and swelling caused by the broken abutment lacerating my tongue. At this point, Dr. Feliciano came in. After a brief look at the x-rays, he said that it would be possible to remove the broken abutment, but that there are "no guarantees" that the procedure could be achieved without breaking the remaining abutment. A price of $400.00 was quoted. The next available appointment was in 10 days (July 22). I agreed to proceed. I asked Dr. Feliciano if he could provide a temporary solution to relieve the pain and swelling of my tongue. He responded with a flat "no", and left the room.

I asked Dr. Engle to please do something to ease the pain, laceration and swelling of my tongue caused by the jagged edges of the broken abutment. Dr. Engle responded by polishing the jagged edge of the broken abutment and placing a small piece of wax on top of it, that about 90 minutes later promptly fell off . At no time did Dr. Engle offer any medication or advice for treating, healing or disinfecting the damage to my tongue.

Later, to ease the swelling and pain, I personally, with no advice or input provided by Dr. Engle, went to a local pharmacy, purchased dental wax, and placed the wax myself to shield the tongue from the jagged edge of the broken abutment. To disinfect the wound and help with healing, I also purchased an over-the-counter medicated oral pain reliever recommended by the pharmacy clerk.

One week later on July 17, 2020, I received a call from a person at Engle Dentistry (NOT a dentist), to inform me that with reference to the scheduled July 22 treatment, the dentist was "..looking at my x-rays", and that he thinks "....it's better that I see my own dentist" for treatment. I informed the caller that I would be delighted to see my own dentist, but as I previously informed Dr. Engle and Engle office personnel both verbally and in patient registration documents, my own dentist is in Colombia; and it is not possible to see him, as the international airports in Colombia are closed due to Covid-19. I told the caller that I would be pleased to have the dentist call me and explain why under circumstances where the option to "..see my own dentist" does not exist, he is refusing to treat me.

To date, there has been no response from Engle Dentistry.

To add insult to injury, about two hours after I received the July 17 call from Engle Dentistry, informing me that they refuse to treat me, I collected my snail-mail that included a letter from Engle Dentistry stating how pleased they are to "..welcome me to their practice..", where they are "...proud of their dedication to their patients..".

Before retirement, my work took me all over the world. Occasionally, I required dental or medical care. I have NEVER encountered the uncaring treatment I experienced at Engle Dentistry.

First visit to Dr Engle's office in Naples was excellent. The office has a wonderful, relaxing vibe. Very new and clean is my overall first impression. My initial visit with Dr Engle was great, I had full mouth xrays and consult. He was very thorough and knew his business. I am meticulous with my dental hygiene and was very impressed. Personally I was very comfortable with the interactions I had. My first cleaning will be next week and I will add to this review. I think I have finally found my forever dentist.

Everyone who works at this office is so friendly and really tries to make each patient feel comfortable. Martha is my hygienist and she is excellent, she was so patient and careful with me when certain areas were more sensitive than others. Highly recommended!

Four years ago I was in an accident and broke my four front teeth. I was sent to see Dr. Bradley Engle for an assessment and that day was the start of an amazing experience of quality and care from the entire practice. I am a professional who values respect and being treated courteously. There are not enough words to describe how well I have been treated and how incredibly high the standards of care are in Dr. Engle's practice. This is inclusive of the total staff, from the front desk and back to the surgical room. I have been treated with the utmost professionalism in every way possible. Also, Dr. Victoria Rinando is part of my treatment team and one more person who compliments the high standard of practice and care I have received. Thank you to his entire team for their ongoing care and commitment to providing me the best possible overall treatment, I am so deeply appreciative every time I walk in the door.

I went to Dr. Engle for a 2nd opinion and ended up staying. I needed extensive work and was terrified of dentists my whole life. I can truly say after almost a year of having the work done, I did not feel any pain and my fear of dentistry is gone. I had 3 operations by Dr. Engle and was seen monthly by Dr. Feliciano. The level of care and respect is outstanding by these two caring men and the staff at both Naples offices is what sets this practice apart from any other. I will continue to use them and recommend them highly. I would give 10 stars if possible.

I needed a new dentist. I'm glad I chose Engle Dentisty. They got me in within 2 days of calling. They have a beautiful facility. Everyone is very welcoming and sweet. Made me feel very comfortable. The cleaning I received was painless and they did a great job. The most important part was they did a temperature check and took every precaution for COVID. If you're looking for a new dentist, this is your place. Plus they have a new patient promotion. Give them a call you won't regret it!

Engle Dentistry is the most professional Dental operation I've ever experienced. Everything about it--the service, the building, the quality of care--is superb. Look no further if you're looking for the best.

I moved to Naples recently and looked online for dentists that had great reviews which Engle certainly does. I had a lower bridge break off and went in to get a replacement. I first saw Dr. Feliciano and the some of the staff who were very professional. He arranged for a temporary bridge very quickly while they work up the permanent one. They have some serious technology in that office! Dr. Engle then came by and discovered I am losing some bone around one of my upper teeth, so worked me into the near term schedule to fix that problem. The staff are very friendly and extremely polite. It’s just a first class operation all around.

Dr. Engle has got to be the best in his field not only in SW FL but without a doubt in the country. He treated a massive infection in my mouth that without his expertise would have undoubtedly had much worse results than I had to deal with. He is an absolute asset to this community. His staff is amazing also. Engle Dentistry deserves 10 stars!
