Your Desired Smile

This review is long overdue. Dr. Luis Alicea and team are absolutely amazing in service and care. I have been a patient for over a year and a half. Last year, Dr. Luis Alicea did a wonderful job helping me with my oral care as he extracted my over 35 year old three cavities that were silver and potentially mercury. He did the procedure in 45 mins with an original estimate of time an hour and a half. I must also share that the other day, I thought I felt a cavity coming on. I made an appointment. After a review from the hygienist with x-rays, and Dr Alicea came in... No issues with teeth and asked about any sinus infection. I have been battling a sinus infection for almost two months! Dr. Alicea and team helped put me at ease with my mouth. I am grateful for the through review of my mouth were I thought it was an oral issue and not a head / she nud issue. I look forward toy next appointment that is my regular cleaning. Thank you team.

I had another wonderful experience at Desire Smile in Odessa (Tampa) with Dr. Luis Alicea. I feel extremely blessed to have chosen Dr Alicea for my dental care. He is truly outstanding, and his professionalism and kindness make every visit a positive experience The entire staff is amazing. Loudes, Ivelisse, Basty , Alian, Nicole are incredible caring, attentive, and welcoming. I highly recommend Desire Smile without hesitation. They go above and beyond to make their patients feel comfortable and well cared for.

I had an excellent experience at this dental office! I originally found this dentist while searching for a CBCT scan, something I had been wanting for a while. When I discovered his website, I was thrilled to see that he practices biological dentistry..a rare find along with cosmetic dentistry. Instead of needing to leave the area for a great dentist, I’m so glad I found this local gem. The doctor was incredibly kind, thorough, and genuinely caring, and his staff was just as warm and welcoming. It was humbling and refreshing to visit a dental office where faith is embraced, hearing worship music and God being part of the conversation was truly a blessing. The dental cleaning I received was exceptional, using a precise tool typically only seen in high-end cosmetic offices. It was meticulous, cleaning under and along the gum line perfectly. I’m so grateful for the care and attention I received! thank you!

Your Desired Smile in Odessa stands out because it manages to balance professionalism with genuine care, which is not always easy to find in a dental practice. From the first interaction, the office feels organized, calm, and patient-focused rather than rushed or transactional. Scheduling is straightforward, communication is clear, and the staff make an effort to explain what’s happening instead of assuming you already know. What really makes a difference here is the attention to comfort. Dental visits can be stressful, but the team does a good job of creating an environment that feels reassuring. Procedures are explained in plain language, options are laid out honestly, and there’s no sense of being pressured into unnecessary treatments. That transparency builds trust quickly. The clinical work itself feels thorough and precise. Cleanings are done carefully, not hurried, and exams feel detailed rather than routine. You get the sense that the dentist is actually evaluating your overall oral health, not just checking boxes. Equipment is modern, the space is clean, and hygiene standards are clearly taken seriously. Another strong point is how well the staff handles questions and follow-ups. Whether it’s treatment planning, insurance explanations, or post-visit guidance, responses are clear and patient. This is especially valuable for people who may have had negative dental experiences in the past. Overall, Your Desired Smile delivers what its name promises—not just cosmetic results, but a respectful, competent dental experience. It’s a solid choice for families and individuals looking for quality care without stress or sales pressure.

Absolutely amazing experience! Our assistant Jenn was super informative, extremely nice, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The entire team was friendly and professional, and the office was spotless. They even offered a big cup of coffee and complimentary drinks, which was such a nice touch. I’ll definitely be coming back here for any future oral surgery or related dental needs. Highly recommended!

I visit Dr Alicea whenever I need dental work. He takes great care of you! and I was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and well taken care of! Dr. Alicea was very knowledgeable, explaining everything in detail and ensuring I understood all my options. I also go for dental cleanings every 6 months and Basty is the best!!! I appreciate how they use natural and non-toxic materials in their treatments, which aligns with my values. The entire experience was smooth, and I felt like I was in great hands. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a holistic and professional dental experience!
