Dr Furtado and his staff are the absolute best. I have always been petrified of dentist but everyone is so caring and helpful they made me feel an ease. They took the time and addresses any of my concerns and explained everything so that I understood the process . I would like to thank Joy for her time and caring , she knew I was very nervous on the day of my surgery and met me at my car at 6 AM in the morning and walked me in and stayed with me that , she helped me feel at ease

One of the best dental experiences ever ! Dr Sheldon and his dental assistant Joy were patient , knowledgeable and took a long time helping me today. Dental visits have always been unpleasant for me since I have a narrow mouth. . I had no discomfort at all with X-rays today.
The device they used was small and Joy uses a handheld device to scan it quickly ! Very impressive.
I knew they would be good because they have the distinction of being number 1 in the area for implants — but I wanted someone who could offer FULL SERVICE implants providing the implant and the cap. Many places send you to the surgeon for the post and back to the dentist for the crown.
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. Dr Sheldon is very funny too !

I’m thrilled to find a great dentist in Brevard county.

From the start, My experience with Sheldon and Furtado was so pleasant and they couldn’t have done any more to make me feel comfortable! The initial consult included a CT scan and x-rays plus a complete exam by the dentist. I highly recommend them!

The doctors, assistants and staff are outstanding. They treat their patients with empathy, professionalism and concern. The aspects of the procedures are thoroughly explained. I have had a great deal of dental treatments throughout my life, this practice is fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone for their dental needs.
