When we first moved to Florida in 2004 a friend told me to go to North River Dental. I have had a very good experience. I’m still under there care. I had bleeding gums at times. The dentist told me what to rinse my mouth with each night. I also use there toothpaste. My gums have gotten better. I have had a tooth pulled and an implant done and everything went smooth. They make you feel you like going to the dentist. I recommend them highly.

This dental office is excellent. The doctors and hygienist are very professional, they are on time, on budget and the professionalism of everyone working there is excellent. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist or changing from one to another. I’ve been going to dentist for the past 70 years and this is number one in my book. Regards MHC.

What a fantastic and friendly staff at North River Denistry ♥️ We r seasonal travelers and wasn’t sure where to go for my tooth issue. So very thankful we chose North River Denistry. Such friendly, understanding and comforting staff. From the first phone call to exam and final procedure it was a outstanding experience. They even called me the day after procedure to see how I was doing. Made me feel special and cared for. Highly recommend this office🤩🤩

Moved to Parrish 6 years ago & wondered if I’d ever find a professional dentist that’s as good as the one I had in Connecticut. Well, lucky for me, my wife found North River Dental, and they’re outstanding from their doctors to their staff. Very professional, very thorough, very nice.

A dental practice that feels more like spa. Have been a patient for many years and so have many of my neighbors. They are the best of the best. We are fortunate to have such a practice in our area.

Dr. Delrose and his staff are amazing! They will absolutely do everything in their power to accommodate you and guarantee that you are satisfied. Considering the cost of implants, this is no small thing. 👍🏻

An awesome team of doctors and office workers. I appreciated how they explained the procedures before they got started. The Dr. came in to consult me with a couple of different options for helping me keep my gums and teeth healthy plus a the same time help me achieve a more beautiful smile. Looking forward to achieving my goals.
