Matthew T. Waite, DDS

Beautiful office. Great location. Dr. Waite is polite and competent.

I want to take a moment to share my outstanding experience with Dr. Waite and his team. For years, I carried an enormous amount of anxiety about getting dental implants. Several general dentists told me the only way forward would be to go through another full round of braces, since my orthodontist hadn’t left enough space the first time for the posts to be placed. The thought of braces all over again, along with the cost and time involved, was overwhelming. When I met with Dr. Waite, everything changed. He recognized that the space was tight, but instead of telling me braces were my only option, he had the confidence in his skills to place the post correctly without putting me through another round of orthodontics. His reassurance and confidence immediately put me at ease. He saved me not only a huge amount of money, but also years of additional treatment and stress. Years later, I still think about that experience with gratitude. The implants have been perfect from day one — I’ve had zero problems, and it feels completely natural. What I remember most is how comfortable and cared for I felt throughout the entire process. He even took the time to call me and personally check up on me. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Waite and his associates to anyone in need of implants. Their professionalism, compassion, and expertise truly make all the difference. Thank you Dr. Waite!!! You have changed my life! (:

I want to share my recent experience at the orthodontics office associated with Dr. Waite, specifically to offer a word of caution to potential patients. While I did not see Dr. Waite himself, my appointment was with one of his substitute practitioners, and I sincerely recommend avoiding this office at all costs. My journey began when I needed to resume my Invisalign treatment, and the orthodontics office suggested three periodontists, including Dr. Waite. As luck would have it, there was an opening, so I scheduled an appointment. The individual I met was a petite Hispanic female whose name I unfortunately could not catch due to her accent. In hindsight, I should have asked her to repeat it, but after several attempts, I felt uncomfortable pushing further. However, what followed was disheartening. This practitioner was not only unprofessional but also displayed an alarming level of arrogance during our consultation. Rather than offering support and guidance for my dental work, her approach seemed focused on undermining my dental health, which left me feeling quite anxious about my care. After this unsettling experience, I reached out to the office to express my concerns, but instead of receiving any constructive feedback, I encountered a so-called "Office Manager" who attempted to gaslight me. This dismissive response only compounded my disappointment, as I genuinely wanted to bring attention to what I perceived as concerning behavior. While I want to emphasize that my negative experience stemmed from one of Dr. Waite's substitutes and not Dr. Waite himself, I feel it is crucial to make others aware of my circumstances. If you decide to visit this office, please be vigilant about the staff, particularly in case you happen to encounter a petite Hispanic female practitioner. Again, I want to clarify that my intent is not to profile anyone based on ethnicity; I myself belong to a minority community and have Hispanic family members. It's simply a cautionary note to help others avoid the same frustrating ordeal I faced. I hope my story encourages prospective patients to think carefully before proceeding with their dental needs at this location. Address: 330 East Bloomingdale Ave. Brandon, FL 33511 Take care and best of luck on your dental journeys.

Dr. Waite, his dental assistant, and staff are excellent. Not only is the office impeccable but so is the care and the expertise of Dr. Waite to do exceptional work. I had two extractions, bone graft, and implant and the experience was without pain. At the end there were perks like an almond chocolate banana milkshake and a call that night by Dr. Waite as a follow up on the procedure. Once you find the best- why go anywhere else.

Dr. Waite and his team members are truly a class act. They are considerate, compassionate, and really good at what they do. I feel so blessed to have been referred to them for the procedures behind me, and for what still lies ahead. The office is really clean and it is such a calming environment, with smiles coming from anyone I encountered. You will be in the absolute best of hand’s with Dr. Waite (Tampa Bay Periodontics).

A painful broken tooth left me in a panic to find a dentist who could help ease the pain and calm my anxiety. A close friend that knows my past dental nightmares insisted that I see Dr. Waite. She said that he was the absolute best and insured me I would be well cared for. Well, she was right. I can’t say enough about the way Dr. Waite and his amazing staff cared for me. They were gentle, kind, and always available to answer any of my questions 24/7. Dr. Waite gave me his personal cell number to call in case I needed help after office hours. He called me after surgery to make sure I was comfortable and even provided homeopathic supplements for swelling and it worked! His assistant Jen went above and beyond to help with insurance paperwork and appointment times and dates around my hectic work schedule. It feels great to be able to schedule appointments at a dentist office and feel peace instead of panic. Thanks Dr. Waite!
