Dr. Joel has been our family dentist for over 20 years. He is wonderful! Never had a problem with any dental work he performed. When he puts on a crown or repairs a cavity, it stays fixed! His staff is very personable and reliable. Best dentist ever!

Dr. Joel Scalera has been my dentist ever since I moved to Melbourne, Florida 15 years ago! I moved to Cocoa Beach 3 years ago, and I still travel to Melbourne to have Dr. Joel and his staff take care of my teeth! YUP, he and his team are THAT GOOD!

Had a crown fall out had to have it cemented in, when visiting my sister. I being out of town and in a panic state, knew he was my sister's dentist. I called, set an appointment they got me in quickly. He actually did better job than my own dentist, no sensitivity no discomfort. Awesome staff very comfortable atmosphere, great office. Definitely no fear here!

If I could give Dr. Scalera a "10 Star rating" I would but sadly Google only allows a 5 Star rating. He's top notch, funny and the most patient dentist. He makes visits to the dentist comfortable and easy. The whole staff is so pleasant - it's like going to visit your far away family. I highly recommend Dr. Scalera. No pain and no tears! Everybody wants that in a dentist. Thanks Doc and staff!
