Honestly, best dental experience I've ever had, and I've been to a few places around Venice, FL. Came in for a cleaning, X-rays, exam, and some bonding on my lower teeth – couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and totally at ease. I know a lot of folks get anxious about the dentist, but this office really puts those fears to rest. I'm beyond happy with all the work I had done, especially the cosmetic dentistry. Can't recommend them enough. Thanks for being absolutely amazing!
Owner Response

Can't recommend enough – and I really dislike going to the dentist. Most welcoming and friendly customer service. Very clean and relaxing inside the office. Dr. Lavin is great about talking you through services, explaining everything that's going on, and patient with hearing out any questions or concerns. The membership plan is affordable and exactly what I was looking for. I had a bad experience with a dentist as a kid and now I dread cleanings as an adult, but this was the best dental experience I've ever had. If you have any anxiety about going, this is the place for family dentistry in Venice, FL.
Owner Response

Great dentist and wonderful staff. I feel like I really received a complete exam and thorough cleaning. Dr. Lavin even took pictures of the teeth she was watching so I could see potential issues. Kim at the front desk was super nice and very efficient. I have finally found my new, forever dentist for general dentistry in Venice, FL.

Absolutely loved my experience with Dr. Lavin. From the first phone call, I felt a warm welcome from the office. Kim at the front desk is exceptionally kind and patient – I had to reschedule due to a family emergency and she remembered my name and situation a month later. You can tell the staff is like family. They go out of their way to make you comfortable, offering drinks, blankets, music, stress balls, teas, and warm face cloths, whatever you need. Dr. Lavin has a great demeanor too – super personable and makes you feel comfortable during what's usually uncomfortable for most people. Great family dentistry right here in Venice.

Had my exam, cleaning, and whitening done – felt like I was at a spa, super relaxed. The water temperature was nice and warm. Dr. Lavin and her assistant Kim are fantastic. My appointment was quick and smooth. Scheduling was very easy. I have braces on and my teeth had some coffee stains, but Dr. Lavin was able to help with the whitening and get the stains out. Overall such a wonderful visit for general dentistry in Venice, FL. Anyone looking for a dentist, I recommend Lavin Family Dental.

I had an urgent issue with an inflamed gland – didn't even know it existed before my visit. Dr. Lavin immediately diagnosed it and prescribed a special mouthwash that cleared it up in a couple of days. The staff is warm and welcoming, and Dr. Lavin is fantastic – she truly makes you feel like you're part of a family dental practice in Venice, FL. Highly recommend for emergency dental care!

My husband had the best cleaning appointment with Dr. Lavin. She went above and beyond to give him the best care. She came out and introduced herself to me – she's personable, professional, and just a kind person. You will not be disappointed if you're looking for a great dentist in Venice, FL. She even took the time to send us a personal thank you card. That's the kind of family dentistry you want.

I chose Dr. Lavin from Google and other site reviews. From the moment I called to make my appointment, I felt welcomed. Kim warmly greeted me as I walked in and quickly got me checked in. The reception and waiting area were super clean and offered tea, coffee, and water. There are optional complimentary comfort items to make your visit comfortable – I chose the neck pillow, aromatherapy, and warm lavender facecloth at the end. I got right in even though I was 10 minutes early. The exam room was very clean and offered the newest technology for X-rays and exams. Great experience for general dentistry in Venice, FL.

I had my teeth cleaned yesterday with Dr. Jenna Lavin using the Guided Biofilm Therapy Protocol and was truly impressed. She was able to remove stain and clean my teeth comfortably, which is a big deal as I have sensitive teeth. My teeth feel smooth and appear whiter, I would highly recommend Dr. Jenna Lavin!

Look no further if you (like me) have recently moved to the area and need a dentist - or you are ready for a change of doctors: You found Lavin Family Dentistry and Dr. Jenna L.! Jenna is not just very skilled but also simply a kind-hearted, friendly human. Her assistant, Kim, contributes to the overall pleasant practice atmosphere. For the first time in my life I am excited to visit a dentist. :) Thank you, Jenna and Kim, for your expertise and warm welcomes.

I can’t recommend Lavin Family Dental enough! I came in needing a few cavities filled while also wearing braces, which can be tricky. Not only did they work seamlessly around the brackets, but they also coordinated with my orthodontist to make sure everything was done right. Throughout the whole process, they were incredibly kind, patient, and gentle—something that made a big difference since dental work can be a little stressful. I truly felt cared for and respected every step of the way. If you’re looking for a dentist who’s both skilled and compassionate, this is the place!

I recently had an incredible experience at Lavin Family Dental that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly face and warm smiles that made me feel instantly at home. The staff was exceptionally accommodating and compassionate, taking the time to understand my needs and concerns. If you or someone you know struggles with anxiety about visiting the dentist, I wholeheartedly recommend Lavin Family Dental. Their environment is calming and supportive, with the added bonus of their amazing emotional support office dog, Sophia. Dr. Lavin is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about her patients, providing helpful guidance and reassurance throughout the visit. I left the office feeling more confident about my smile and truly excited to continue my dental journey with Lavin Family Dental. Thank you for such a positive experience!

You’re reading this review because you’re looking for a dentist.Look no more, Dr. Lavin is the one to choose! As someone who typically dreads dental visits, I can say with confidence that she’s the best dentist I’ve ever had. Dr. Lavin’s genuine care, patience, and meticulous attention to detail transform every appointment into a spa-like experience. She takes the time to explain procedures clearly, making you feel completely at ease, as if a trusted friend is caring for your dental needs. Kim, her fantastic team member, is equally outstanding and friendly, contributing to the warm and professional atmosphere of the practice. Together, they make every visit exceptional. Thank you, Dr. Lavigne and Kim, for providing such a comfortable and top-notch experience. I just love this place!

I took my daughter to see Dr Lavin for her first ever visit to the dentist. Dr Lavin was so warm and inviting and explained everything she was going to do and even let my daughter look and hold the tools before beginning. She is so wonderful with kids and makes the experience fun and not in the least bit intimidating. After the appointment, my daughter got to pick out a prize and became a member of the no cavity club! I am so happy that there is another dentist in Venice that has lots of experience with pediatric clients and welcomes them with open arms. Update to original review: I recently came in for a preventative cleaning on my teeth and had the best experience. It was the most gentle cleaning I’ve ever experienced at the dentist! Dr Lavin truly made me feel so heard and cared for during my visit.

Love having a true family dental practice. Our boys both had an amazing first experience at the dentist. Not only did they have an exemplary first visit, but my cleaning was the most gentle cleaning I've ever experienced, and the care plan was perfectly curated with clearly articulated recommendations. Great experience, wonderful staff, 10/10 recommend for pediatric dentistry and family dentistry in Venice, FL.
