"A wonderful practice if you’re looking in the area. Dr. Farina was my ortho at 14 and so when the time came, I immediately chose to take my son to him for his Ortho needs. My how the field has changed! My son is in Invisalign at 8! Dr. Franco has been great, the office is clean, modern and the Assistants are so kind and patient."
"Excellent professional care from start to finish! Happy with my results, especially the “Hollywood” treatment when my anchors for my Invisalign came off. I highly recommend Dr. Farina and his staff."
"So, I had some concerns about my bottom teeth and thought I might need to consider getting invisalign. I am retired and on a limited income but if this was..."
"I had a great experience at Farina Orthodontics. Dr. Farina and everyone on his staff were always professional and pleasant. Also I’m thrilled with my new smile after using Invisalign! I highly recommend!"
"Dr. Farina and staff are 10/10!! Wading through Invisalign and additional dental work the Farina team remained in constant communication with my extended dental team and my results are insane! I cannot say enough good things about Farina Orthodontics. Special love to the team out at Bruce B. Downs - they handled 90% of my care and made everything simple and efficient!"
"The total experience from sending in the original photos, the appointments, to getting the Invisalign has been a great one. Excited to see the final result!"
"My journey with my Invisalign treatment for 3 years has been amazing , I’m very happy and satisfy with how my teeth turn out to be. The doctor and staff are very friendly and care about their patients. I highly recommend farina orthodontist specialist!"
"Dr. Farina takes the time to explain any questions you have. The treatment (invisalign) was smooth from start to finish. I totally recommend them!"
"I 100% recommend this place. It took me a year and 5 months to see the result of my Invisalign treatment, with the best results ever, my smile looks gorgeous and aligned. Franco and his staff worked with me very closely, listening to all my needs, with great motivation to never give up, (which probably everyone wants), be consistent to get the gold is the key. I love it! Thank you for your excellent and professional work"
"Dr. Franco at Farina Orthodontics was wonderful!! I went to Farina for Invisalign, after another orthodontist did not successfully complete my treatment. Dr. Franco took the time to meet with me, review my treatment, and ensure that he knew exactly what I expected for my teeth. Each time I went to Farina, he greeted me with a friendly personality and made sure everything was going to plan. I am grateful for Dr. Franco and the great staff they have at the Swann location - thank you for helping me with my smile! :)"
"As always Dr. Farina and staff were wonderful. Everyone always greets every patient a smile and are always available to answer any questions. I know this is going to be a smooth ride. I’m doing Invisalign line this time around and everything was explained clearly and patiently. This is not my first time with braces but hopefully my last. Looking forward to working with you. Thank you to Dr. Farina and staff."
"Experience has been wonderful so far! Dr Franco and the team were super helpful explaining the Invisalign process. Got my Invisalign on today and that was a very simple appointment (faster than expected). The new technology is impressive compared to when I had braces back in high school."
"Wonderful experience with Invisalign."
"I had orthodontic treatment here as an adult and had excellent results! Dr. Farina was able to treat my specific case with Invisalign when other orthodontists told me it was not possible with Invisalign alone. I just brought my daughter here the other day to start her treatment and she loves her Invisalign. Office is always clean, appointments are quick, and everyone is very friendly. Cost is reasonable with 0% in house financing. Best orthodontist around!"
"I'm currently in the middle of my Invisalign treatment and I have to say, Dr. Franco and Dr. Farina are amazing! The staff here is also incredibly friendly and helpful. The success of Invisalign really comes down to your discipline, but the team goes above and beyond to support you in achieving the best smile possible. One thing I really like is being able to track my ongoing transformation on the Smile Doctors app. Highly reccomend the team here if you are looking to start Invisalign."
"Dr Farina is awesome at every appointment, and fixing things another dentist messed up years ago (middle teeth were bonded weirdly by another dentist). The office is new, with state of the art equipment. Wish I started Invisalign here sooner"
"I had my Invisalign done here. As a fellow professional in the service industry, I felt I received top-notch service from the entire staff. Incredible results and I really felt taken care of as a client. There are a lot of little things that they do that really add up. Worth every penny and highly recommend Dr. Farina and his team."
"I am a patient for Invisalign and so far I had good experience with the in office visits. They used state of the art equipment and technology to give their patients the best service. For my scans I even use an app and don't have to go in to the office. Very convenient."
"I wore Invisalign for 3.5 years. I had a bad underbite, class 3 malocclusion and was suffering from TMJ disorder.I heard that correcting the bite could fix the TMJ, so I went to consult Dr. Farina. He felt he could certainly fix my bite. I had gone to an oral surgeon previously and he explained that my jaw would have had to be cut and wired shut, the healing process would take weeks, and I would have to eat out of a straw. So, braces sounded like the better option. I started my journey in October of 2019. It is now March 2023 and I just got my Invisalign off. It was very much worth the investment, time and effort. Thank you Dr. Farina and team for correcting my smile! I love it!"
"I’m coming at it from the perspective of an adult with orthodontic needs (Invisalign). Suffice to say, Dr. Farina and his staff are the most professional, personable and efficient dentist I have ever seen (and that is saying something given that I come from a family of great dentists!)Whether for yourself or your child, I could not recommend Dr. Farina more strongly. He actually makes orthodontics… fun? Lol"
"Very professional and friendly staff. Quite organized - didn't wait long for my appointment and online check in is great. They called me 4 days after I received my Invisalign trays to check and see how I was doing which was nice."
"farina orthodontist made starting my invisalign journey extremely easy. the consultation was online which was very convenient and they seem to be steps ahead of other facilities. looking forward to this journey with them!"
"As a long time patient of Dr. Farina (braces as a kid and Invisalign as an adult), I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Dr. Farina and his staff are always incredibly kind and never make you feel bad about missing appointments or inconsistently wearing Invisalign trays. They’ve done such a good job, that I sadly probably won’t see them again once I’m done with treatment. If you’re looking for a fantastic orthodontist, look no further."
"Everything gets explained well and you feel involved and in the know throughout the whole process. Had braces growing up, didn’t wear retainers through college, and Invisalign through Farina has been doing a great job at getting my smile back to where I wanted!"
"Dr. Farina is phenomenal. I started my Invisalign journey a few years back, well I decided to return and complete my treatment with clear braces. I flew in from Texas just to see Dr. Farina. I would not have it any other way. Dr and his staff are truly amazing. They explain the entire process from start to finish. Best work ever. Extremely satisfied. Highly recommended. I truly love these guys!!!!! Thank you."
"From the first phone call to do my Invisalign consult to my first appointment everyone was amazing, kind and happy! This whole process has been seamless! Looking forward to see my progress during this process!"
"I just started my Invisalign with them, and they are very efficient with what they do. They are very welcoming and encouraging. Getting my Invisalign was very easy and quick with them, and their staff is incredibly kind!"
"I had braces when I was younger over 20 years ago and I was dreading the orthodontic process again to re straighten my teeth. WOW, was I blown away. Not only was the entire staff friendly and accommodating, the technology and options available are second to none. Dr. Farina takes the time to thoroughly explain your treatment plan and is truly an expert at what he does. I look forward to my new smile and I know that it will be flawless thanks to the team at Farina! Photo is Day 1 of Invisalign - you can't even tell I have it in!"
"Terrific service and experience. I started and completed my Invisalign treatment during the pandemic and was pretty nervous. The staff was efficient and displayed excellent communication of all policies and procedures. Dr. Farina and staff were always friendly, mindful of my time and would answer any little question I had. My only regret is not doing this sooner. I can’t believe how easy they made the experience."
"20 years ago I wore braces for 2 1/2 years my teeth were works of art shining across the land during my Army and Acting career and then tragedy struck as I didn’t wear my retainer....for 10 years....Dr. Farina and his staff are like the Special Forces of Teeth Straightening, they basically parachuted into enemy territory as I whined and complained about having to wear Invisalign and reassured me it would be super easy.I thought it would be an expensive nightmare, but I was wrong THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!They have zero interest program. I had acting friends that spent money on those “Instagram” teeth aligners and ended up needing oral surgery or get re-repaired by professionals.If you want to have the smile of your life come to the 2nd happiest place on earth where they treat you like royalty with crowns and all! (Dentist joke)"
"Wonderful orthodontic practice. My Invisalign not only improved my smile, but also straightened my bite and eliminated my TMJ problems. Highly recommend."
"Super nice people and super easy to start Invisalign trays"
"Great orthodontist! Got Invisalign and my teeth look great! Staff is all friendly and nice!"
"My experience at Farina Ortho has been amazing so far. I've had Invisalign for 7 months now and my results are already incredible. I had a cross bite which I think usually requires surgery to fix. Dr. Farina was able to fix it with elastics and no surgery. The office is top class, everyone is friendly helpful and extremely professional. All of the equipment is brand new and the place is really clean. I 100% recommend going in if you've ever thought about straightening your teeth."
"I started invisalign 12 weeks ago with Dr. Farina. The staff and Dr. Farina are all really great!"
"Great place and friendly staff!! Very easy process for my invisalign and I love it :)"
"I have been so self conscious about my smile for years and after going through a bad situation in my life I thought it’s time to put the past behind you and get your smile fixed. I went into Dr. Farina office on Swann Ave yesterday and everyone was so nice to me and they all made me feel wonderful. I have to get some work done on my teeth before I can get my Invisalign but I walked out of the office knowing that they are going to take good care of me. I’m so excited to start my new journey with Dr. Farina and his wonderful staff. They really took me from being very very self conscious to having high hopes. I’m truly grateful . So excited to get Invisalign 😀 Rebecca Owens"
"Finished with my invisalign in exactly one year! I had major TMJ issues and Dr Farina totally fixed me. Every part of this journey couldn't have been more perfect. I would highly recommend him and his amazing team to anyone who needs braces for teeth straightening or other more complicated issues like mine. I'm glad to be done with my braces, but I sure will miss Dr Farina and the girls. 5 stars and a big smile for Farina Orthodontics!!!!"
"Farina Orthodontics is an excellent orthodontics practice. Everyone on staff is friendly and all seem to really enjoy working there. I have had Invisalign and both of my children have had orthodontia done at Farina. The results are excellent for all of use."
"Started with Invisalign braces in July 2017. As an adult in my 40's who had traditional braces in my teens, this was the best experience from start to fin..."
"Dr. Farina and staff have demonstrated excellent work and superb customer service. I am very happy to have chosen Dr. Farina as my invisalign provider."
"Great! Very attentive and helpful. I got Invisalign for a great price :)"
"I am in the process of getting started with invisalign. I am so impressed with Dr. Farina and his office. They are very patient with my needs. As well as they are kind, courteous and professional!"
"I had the best experience with Dr.Farina and the whole team at the Swann office. With this being my second time having braces, invisalign the first time, I was very hesitant about the process and the results. Dr.Farina explained to me exactly what we were going to do and gave me a sense of ease about the whole process. When I became pregnant during my treatment, they were very accommodating and worked with me and my schedule. After 11 months, I had the beautiful smile I always wanted (and a beautiful son to smile at). Thank you Dr.Farina!"
"We are so pleased with Dr. Farina. He advised us to get Invisalign because he was concerned about cementing our daughter's teeth because of asthma medication making them weak."
"Best orthodontist in Tampa area! The Invisalign treatment was the best option for me as an adult. Dr. Farina uses the latest technology to ensure best results on any of his treatments and his staff is very friendly and accommodating."
"I wouldn't trust my teeth with anyone else! My entire experience at Farina Orthodontics has been easy. The South Tampa office is gorgeous and conveniently located, I never have to wait more than a couple of minutes for my appointment, and the doctors and staff are all smiles and very professional. I can honestly say that the Invisalign is quickly becoming the best thing I have ever done for myself. My teeth are changing so quickly and painlessly. I can't wait to see the final results!"
"50+ years ago, I desperately needed braces due to crowding & an overbite. The end results were impressive; however over the years, my teeth began to move. I wanted a straighter smile & my orthodontic issues addressed.The evolution of orthodontics is remarkable. I was told Invisalign® can address many of those issues w/exceptional results w/o the discomfort or embarrassment of traditional orthodontic braces. I was delighted to learn I would NOT be getting unsightly, uncomfortable wires & brackets but instead discrete, clear aligners. My teeth-straightening process started w/high tech x-rays that encircled my head & state of the art pictures of my teeth & mouth. NO goopy impressions of my teeth were needed. All of that information was used to create a treatment plan w/o the orthodontist ever touching my mouth! I was told I would be given a series of custom aligners that I would change about every two weeks. Over time, my teeth would gently & gradually shift into proper place.My insurance provider does NOT cover braces, but I was offered a 10% discount if I paid the full amount up front. SUH-WHEET!I am grateful for the evolution of orthodontics! One, I can remove the device when I want. Two, there are NO food restrictions. I can eat whatever foods I enjoy. Three, I can enjoy virtually invisible teeth-straightening. Four, I can brush & floss my teeth normally for better periodontal health. Five, there will be NO broken, sharp, metal wires to irritate my cheeks & gums. Finally, I was relieved to know I can travel b/c there will be office visits only every 4-6 weeks. I was advised to let the office know when I was traveling so extra trays could be taken w/me. So the crux of the matter is the evolution of orthodontics will make this round of advanced treatment much more enjoyable than the last round of a very rudimentary regimen.I look forward to working w/the office staff to ensure that once AGAIN I will have that 'million dollar' smile. What I know for sure is that my smile [w/straight teeth] will increase my face value, + self-image, & confidence. And I was reassured that I am NOT the OLDEST patient!"
