To give you a beautiful and functional smile, Value Implants and Dentures utilizes the latest dental implant procedures and technology.

I moved to this area several years ago, I have been to several dentist and have not been happy with the dentist or the office staff. A few months ago I attended a free seminar at NRD and I was so impressed with everything I saw. The dentist and staff were very knowledgeable and welcoming. I set up a follow up appointment for a consultation. I finally found a dentist office that I am totally comfortable with. Dr. Steinberg has been great and his assistant Bobble Jo is the best. She explained everything she was going to do and made me feel comfortable. I did not feel anxious like I usually do. Thank you to all the doctors and staff you are all great!!

We moved to Florida several years ago and found North River Dental through a friend’s recommendation. We wanted a private practice with personal attention to our dental needs. We have been extremely happy with their services. The staff is always welcoming and efficient. Their friendliness and smiles always put you at ease before the upcoming treatments. My dental hygienist is gentle and thorough. I could not be happier with the results when she is finished! All the dentists have been great to deal with as well. We have recommended the practice to others and will continue to do so!

North River Dental is the best Dental office I have ever used. Starting with the moment you walk in the door Delia greets you by name and the entire staff treats you with a professional and personable attitude making you feel like family. The facility is very well kept and they utilize state of the art technology. The dental treatment and planning is excellent but what I personally feel makes them stand out is how you are treated by the entire staff. It is very refreshing in this day and age to be greeted with a smile and treated as an individual with individual needs as North River Dental does with every patient.

Having a lot of experience with dentists, I’ve been to some not so good. Finding North River probably 10+ years ago has been great, from cleanings to extensive dental work. They are very professional and knowledgeable. They have a great and easy appt and reminder system too!

I am 18 years old, almost 19, I’ve been going here since I was in a car seat. They have the most welcoming staff ever and their schedule is very flexible to fit you in, if needed. I got My teeth cleaned last week And I recently just found I was having a baby, my dentist told me that I would be having a girl and that is to be determined, but definitely made me feel very comfortable while she shared her journey about her baby girl. Great staff 10/10 recommend!!:)

It is very rare that I find dental workers who are patient enough with me that I feel comfortable, yet I felt so comfortable here that I was able to cry (twice) in front of these people. I didn’t mean to (obviously), but it really goes to show the people here are so kind, caring, patient & understanding that they will do whatever is in their power to help. I have a maloclusion that makes me look like a monster & could really use dental implants to stop my jaw from shifting further backwards & my teeth from shifting further on top of each other, but cannot afford them. I was able to get xrays & a consult here, so I could get an idea of what needed to he done & what I could try to save for if I ever became financially stable. I was also able to get hope that I could one day look “normal” without having to have surgery to break my jaw & reset it. I may just need braces. I doubt I could ever afford them, but the news has set my hopes ablaze as that is MUCH more attainable than a major surgery & now I won’t stop trying! But I was *TERRIFIED* walking in. As in, *shaking* terrified. Which is normal for me & dentists. And yet… the way I was treated here made me feel safe. It made me feel cared about. It made me feel like I was okay. I gradually stopped shaking. I gradually stopped feeling so terrified. And I have genuinely wished I had the $ or insurance to return for literally anything dental related, as it is almost *impossible* for me to find a dental facility where I feel that way. From the front desk to the techs to getting the xrays done to the dentist & even in the office of the person who helps you figure out the brutal reality of the finances, *every* *single* *person* in that office was the most kind, patient, respectful, caring, gentle & genuine human being I could ever hope to encounter. If you need patience & a dental place that will actually care about you as a human being… this is your haven. Please consider them. Please give them a try. I really never thought I’d find another place that would treat me so well after I moved away from New Orleans and into a smaller area like this until I got the privilege of going to North River Dental. I wish I could truly convey how much it means to me that they took the time & put in the energy to help me relax because I really don’t have the words. I hope someone from that day sees this & maybe remembers me, even if it was a while ago. Thank you. It really makes a difference. 🩵
