Tampa Bay Institute of Oral Surgery and Dental Implants

Renato Aves is not board certified? says a lot if he can’t certify himself

This office is terrible. Be prepared to wait ! They overbook to maximize profit. The lady at the front desk will just stare at u like your stupid instead of showing any kind of empathy or asking questions to help. I needed to “text” a referral and instead of telling me to screenshot it or it wont go through. She knew I was sitting there struggling. I went back up to the counter and the gentleman had to tell me. After going outside. This is horrible service and represents the face of this company. Get someone who is kind, patient and happy to help others.

Edit: I’m having complications 7 years after surgery lmao I was super happy when I came here initially but of course now I’m questioning the entire thing.

Would like to give 5 stars but their scheduling structure needs work. I had three of my wisdom teeth extracted here last week, my surgery appointment time was for 10:45. I arrived before my appointment time and still waited until 12:15 before they finally called me back for my surgery. Once I got into the room for my surgery, I was prepped and ready immediately. However, my surgery was again delayed until 1:20. Luckily I had a babysitter and an arranged car line pick up for my older kids in school because otherwise it would have been a fiasco, as I was told prior to surgery that I would only be in office a maximum of 2 hours. When they called me with a time a few days before the surgery, I did try to get a time earlier in the morning but they said that was the earliest they do them. I had to come back post op for dry socket (likely from my own doing) and my appointment time was scheduled for 9am (scheduled same day that I called, thankfully). I didn’t get called back to a room until about 9:45 and now it’s 10:15 and I still have to wait on a different room for them to address my dry socket. Here are some suggestions that I think could be helpful: 1. I think if they staggered surgery times and put less people in each time slot, the wait wouldn’t be so horribly painful. I used to be a surgical coordinator at a different place and I just feel like there’s no excuse for the awful waits unless there’s multiple emergencies happening every day. 2. I think the demand for this office is way too high for the small space they’re located in. If their office was much larger and they had more staff, this would be far smoother :) 3. They schedule consults and surgeries at the same time so the surgeons are jumping from room to room quickly. I think if the mornings were designated only for surgery and the afternoons were for consults (or varies by day), this would also make surgery flow much smoother. I did like my surgeon (Dr. Aves) and the assistants with him, and the deep anesthesia was nice for my anxiety and kicked in within 30 seconds of administration lol I don’t remember anything and the surgery felt like it lasted only 1 second. They took great care of me and if needed again, I will be back. They just have some structure to work on to get better office flow.

Be aware that they dont do everything listed on their website. It'as a real bait and switch.

After a lot of frustration with DentaQuest, which seemed to give me every pediatric dentist's number possible instead of an adult dentist, I finally found this clinic and had my appointment on June 15, 2026. I actually could have scheduled an earlier appointment, but I was the one who requested a later date. I drove from Sarasota to Tampa, and when I arrived, I was treated very kindly by the front desk staff. Shortly afterward, I was called in for X-rays and then taken to a room where the doctor reviewed the images. After examining the X-rays, he gave me the option to have my wisdom tooth removed that same day. While I was happy to hear that, I was also nervous because I hadn't mentally prepared myself for it! Since it was only one tooth, full sedation was not an option. I decided to go ahead with the procedure. After a short wait, I was taken to the surgery room. The assistant placed a nitrous oxide mask on me and applied a numbing gel to the area before the injections. I'm not sure the gas affected me much, but the gel definitely did because I didn't even feel the needles. I was very nervous, but both the assistant and the doctor Elmohd were incredibly kind and reassuring throughout the entire process. Within just a few minutes, the tooth was out, and I was ready to go home. I would absolutely recommend this clinic to others. The care and professionalism I received from start to finish were excellent.

Rebecca was awesome very nice and down to earth❤️❤️Dr Kalsow was also awesome he was very quick and no pain at all I was done getting 3 teeth removed within 7 minutes! He is awesome !

The best experience I’ve had so far. I had an appointment to remove my upper right wisdom tooth, and the entire visit—from check-in to check-out—was completed in under 20 minutes. The procedure itself was painless. Dr. Kalsow and his assistant, Ania, maintained a light and friendly conversation during the procedure, which helped create a relaxed atmosphere. Prior to the procedure, Ania and I also shared a brief conversation about our heart conditions, which felt genuine and respectful. She was especially kind and made me feel at ease. In the days following the procedure, my recovery was smooth and quick. The prescribed medication was effective and worked very well. I would highly recommend this practice, especially if you have the opportunity to be treated by the individuals mentioned. I would also like to acknowledge the staff member who performed my X-rays—although I do not recall her name, she was very kind, informative, and had a great sense of humor.

Dr.Aves is amazing! This man means business and I loved that about him. I refer every one to him that needs wisdom teeth out. Had to get a coronectomy due to nerve being too close to the tooth, few years later that half tooth started coming up and he did the surgery to remove it. Both surgery’s went great and honestly wouldn’t trust any other surgeon. The energy he gives off assures you he’s a highly qualified surgeon. Weird to say I know but true! Thanks Dr. Aves!
