I’ve been coming here for almost two years now and have had multiple dental procedures, including surgeries, and I can honestly say every single experience has been exceptional. I’ve been to so many different dentists over the years, and none of them compare.
The entire team is incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable. They always take the time to explain everything thoroughly, answer my questions, and make sure I feel comfortable before, during, and after every procedure. Their expertise and attention to detail have given me so much confidence and peace of mind.
If you’re looking for a dentist who truly knows what they’re doing—whether it’s routine dental care or more complex surgical procedures—I can’t recommend them enough. They genuinely care about their patients, and it shows in everything they do. I’m so grateful to have found them and wouldn’t trust my dental care with anyone else!

My endodontist, Dr. Jones, recommended me to Dr. Furtado. One of the best experiences I have ever had relative to attending a dental appointment. The staff was friendly, the facility was immaculate, and the dental assistant was informative and professional. Dr. Furtado was equally professional, gentle, conservative in his treatment, communicative throughout the exam, and very personable. I highly recommend Sheldon and Furtado to anyone looking for a periodontist. Thank you, and thank you Dr. Jones for referring me to Dr. Furtado...you are also one of the best!

Everyone in this office is sooo extremely nice and friendly. They immediately put me at ease as soon as l walked through the door. Since moving to Palm Bay, I have been looking for a "forever" dentist not a doc in a box (ex: Aspen, Sage). Even though they are out of network, I will continue seeing them and pay out of pocket. No hard sells for dental work that really is not needed. Exactly what I was looking forever!! They explain everything along the way so you know what the dentist and tech are doing and discussing. The patient is part of the process which id very reassuring.
5 star practice.

First appointment was great. I had an emergency. Although they don't usually take emergencies they got me in quickly.
They have a fantastic staff! The dentist was great ~ Very personable.
5 stars for Janet, too. She is super!
Most importantly, they managed to make sure I can continue smiling!!

I can honestly say I’ve never experienced a more thorough and comprehensive first dental exam. The dental assistant was fantastic — pleasant, joyful, and clearly very knowledgeable. The office is absolutely beautiful, and Dr. Vladia is outstanding. She explained everything clearly, took the time to address all my concerns, and demonstrated such confidence and expertise in her craft. I felt completely comfortable and well cared for from start to finish.
I highly recommend Dr. Vladia and her team to anyone looking for exceptional dental care!
