I went in for a cleaning recently and was greeted warmly by the staff. Their effort to create a calm and relaxing environment is clearly evident. The cleaning itself was also the least traumatic one I’ve ever experienced (I usually hate the process). I will definitely go back for preventive oral care.

Just moved into the area and found them through my insurance. Great experience! Best cleaning I’ve had in years by Tawni (I believe her name was). The office was very clean and the whole staff was nice and professional. Dr. Rudy Carballo was very funny and personable. Highly recommend!

The office made me feel apart of a family that I don’t think could be recreated else where. The office was very clean, organized, and had a relaxing atmosphere. The front desk was so caring and accommodating all my financial and dental needs.I got a cleaning done with the Hygienist Allison and I couldn’t recommend anyone else to do it. She was so thorough and ensured I was doing alright throughout the entire experience. Dr. Rudy and Dr. Valentina were also so gentle, friendly, funny, and made sure to take the time to explain everything clearly. All the nerves instantly disappeared, they really know how to make your experience personal.I highly recommend this office to everyone

Doctor Rudy does an amazing job! He regained my smile for me! So grateful to have come across such a highly skilled professional! And the office staff is very friendly and helpful!

My experience with Dr Rudy was very pleasant and professional. Also, the staff was also kind. Dr. Ruby explained everything up front. He was very detailed in his work. I was very pleased with the overall serviced.

I’ve sent my own family to Dr. Rudy, five star services all around!!

The Dentist is Dr. Rudy he is wonderful. The staff is also wonderful. I would highly recommend. Best dentist on the West coast of Florida for me.

They are amazing here! Came for my check up and the doctor and his staff are super helpful and very friendly. This is the first time I've actually felt comfortable with a dentist. Definitely recommend this place for anyone searching for a great dentist. Thank you guys!

My experience at Soleil Dental was amazing! From the first time I called and spoke to Gina who made appointment for me until my last visit with Dr. Valentino for now. They make you feel so comfortable like your family. And their workmanship is outstanding!! So very happy I chose to go there. I cant say enough about the Dentists and the staff there! You Dentists are remarkable! Love my teeth! Great experience! 🩷🩵

Had a truly amazing experience with Soleil. Super nice and very friendly staff. Edna the hygienist is VERY talented and efficient. Highly recommend this wonderful dental studio headed by Dr. Rudy. Will be returning here in the future.

I had a great experience at Soleil Dental Studio. The office is very nice, clean, and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the dentist and staff are genuinely caring. If you are looking for a new dentist, this is the place to go!

From start to finish, Dr. Carballo and his staff were very warm, welcoming, professional, and informative. I was very comfortable throughout my entire appointment and I appreciated how they took the time to go over everything with me. The office is very clean and makes you feel relaxed as soon as you walk in the door. I would highly recommend!

I'm going to be 100% honest here, if you're looking for a dentist you'll trust and appreciate, Dr Rudy is your dentist. So, I have had a fear of the dentist for years and never have I ever had the POSITIVE experience I had with Dr. Rudy. Knowing my fear, he came and sat beside me in the waiting room while I filled out paperwork to help ease my fears! Talk about calming and building trust! WOW! His staff is knowledgable, kind and patient. They had already discussed my potential claim with the insurance agency so there were zero surprises. This office is built on trust and caring about their patients. Thank you for showing what a dental experience can be when it is built on trust, caring and meeting the patient where he/she is-quite literally in the waiting room!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I’m so happy I chose Soleil Dental Studio! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. The entire team was so kind, professional, and attentive, and they made me feel comfortable throughout my visits. The office is beautiful, clean, and inviting, and you can really tell how much they care about their patients. I truly appreciated the personal attention and the time they took to make sure I felt at ease. It’s not always easy to find a dental office where you feel genuinely valued, but Soleil Dental Studio made such a wonderful impression on me. I’m grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend Dr. Rudy Carballo and Dr. Barrucci to anyone looking for an amazing dentist and his entire team that treats you with kindness, care, and professionalism! I had a crown done and veneers on my front teeth. Love my new smile.❤️

I was referred by my daughter and she was spot on. I couldn’t be happier with the results and the level of care I received. I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone, especially if you need a root canal or crown. Truly a 5-star experience!

I went in as a new patient and felt comfortable and welcomed by everyone in the office. Dr. Barrucci was clear in explaining a care plan, making sure I understand the imaging and what needed to be done.

Great experience with my cleaning and a beautiful office!

This dental office and everyone that works there is amazing. I dont leave reviews often, so when I do I really mean it.. Sad to admit that I've been to tons of dentists in my lifetime and I've pretty much never had a pleasant visit. That changed when I went to Soleil. I got a great crown. The staff made the time more than just an appointment, they made it a great experience..Another plus was that I didn't get pressured into getting 20 x-rays and adding more work than I came for. I really appreciate the friendliness & honesty. Go get your teeth cleaned. Thanks again yall!

Fantastic office, great staff with a fun and inviting atmosphere! Prompt service that felt personal and not rushed! Looking forward to my next appointment already! 👏👍

The entire staff at Soleil Dental is warm, welcoming, and caring! They worked with my schedule to get me in asap for a problem I was having and took care of everything when I came in for my appointment. Gina in the front office is such a treat to work with! Super friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Rudy and his assistant are fantastic! I was super anxious about this appointment since the dentist is isn't exactly my favorite place. They made me feel super comfortable throughout my entire appontment, frequently checking in to make sure I was still doing okay. If you've been looking for a new dentist, look no further! I wish I had switched sooner! Thank you, Soleil Dental for taking such great care of me!

I’ve been in the dental field since 1995. I recently transitioned into the Yoga world and opened the Yoga Studio. I drive from Lake Placid to see Dr. Rudy and I will do it over and over again for the quality of treatment and the care that I receive at this office the office is clean and comfortable. The doctor is knowledgeable and experienced and goes above and beyond for the comfort and treatment of the patient. The staff is friendly and welcoming and efficient. Lisa is amazing and I would highly recommend this office for your dental needs ! Cannot wait to come back !💜💜❤️❤️🤩🤩

Wonderful doctors as well as staff. It is not too often you find a place of business that is both professional and genuinely personal. They were straightforward to me when they found suspicious staining and signs of cavities. I took their suggestions to proceed in removing the infected regions. Later, I researched the treatment they were prescribing to see what benefit it would bring. Their suggestions were backed by real evidence, and I was encouraged. They are newer to the area so give them some love.Doctor was generous and added resin to all my teeth after they were cleaned. He didn't even charge me for the teeth that were unplanned for. He believes in protecting what is worth protecting.

Staff are friendly and Alison is gentle. Will definitely come here again

What can I say..... THE BEST DENTIST VISIST EVER!!!!! from the "insurance guru" to Allison the hygienist to an encounter with the ever so hilarious Dr. Rudy....Perfect! Professional and a most enjoyable and painless visit! You gotta meet this crew!!!😀

Had a “wolf attack” over the weekend and almost lost a tooth. Dr Rudy and his staff got me in bright and early Monday morning for a quick root canal and crown. I should add I thought I was going to have an extraction, flipper and eventually a veneer.. at least that’s what the other dentist said. Dr Rudy saved my tooth and had an amazing experience at Soleil Dental. I am very grateful for Dr Rudy and all of Soleil Dental. 10/10 recommend!

I had such an amazing experience getting my teeth cleaned! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and genuinely cared for. Dr Rudy was incredibly thorough—not just rushing through a cleaning, but really taking the time to do a detailed assessment and explain everything in a way that made me feel informed about my oral health. You can tell they truly care about their patients and the quality of their work. I left feeling fresh, reassured, and actually looking forward to my next visit—which says a lot! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dentist who goes above and beyond- this team is worth it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome experience here! They took amazing care of us and made everything super smooth from start to finish. The front desk was very friendly and professional, making the whole process easy. The X-rays were done fast and effortless thanks to the staff. The office was spotless and very well organized. Dr. Rudy is a very cool and friendly guy, and he was also very honest, taking the time to give great information, advice, and guidance instead of rushing through the appointment. You can tell they truly care about their patients. Definitely recommend this place if you want a dentist that’s trustworthy, efficient, and actually listens.

From the time I booked my new paitent appointment all the way through my first visit (root canal) this has been the best dental experience by far. The front desk staff is friendly and accommodating, the dental assistants are very friendly as well and the doctor has a level of care and active listening skills that are hard to find in any business nowadays. I recommend this office to anyone who is on the fence and nervous about where to go. You will feel right at home.

Friendly staff. Easy to work with in person or via email. Amanda is an excellent hygienist. My cleaning was very comfortable. She was very thorough by explaining what she saw in my X-rays and how she would clean my teeth. The dentist visited me right away and checked in about my dental conditions. Great location!

We have had the absolute best experience at Soleil Dental Studio. From the moment we walked through the doors at 4901 White Ibis Dr, the front desk team was warm and incredibly accommodating. My granddaughter who is 6 went in for 2 baby root canals and 3 filings, and Dr. Rudy made sure she was entirely comfortable and pain-free the whole time. The hygienists and dental assistants were so gentle and knowledgeable, answering all our questions. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a stress-free dental experience with a kind and gentle Doctor! He is fabulous with children! Soleil Dental Studio

I had such a great experience with Dr. Valentina and the entire team. I recently had an implant done, and honestly, I was a little nervous going into it. But the whole experience was so much easier than I expected. I didn’t feel any pain during the procedure or afterward, which really says a lot about how gentle and skilled Dr. Valentina is. She truly has the best hands!Everyone in the office was so kind, welcoming, and attentive. I always felt comfortable and knew I was in good hands. I’m so happy with the results and really grateful for the care I received.I would absolutely recommend Dr. Valentina to anyone. She is not only incredibly talented at what she does, but she genuinely makes you feel cared for. ❤️

Dr Rudy with Soleil dentist is fabulous. I just had a cown and cant believe what a great experience it was. And im NOT a debtist person. I also just had my teeth whitened there. Highly recomend!!

My experience at Soleil was wonderful. I had the pleasure to meet both doctors and I’m very pleased with their services. Not only they are very knowledgeable but also friendly. I highly recommend this dental office to anyone looking for great dentists.

On October first my wife and I visited Soleil Dental Studio in North Port , Fl., for the first time. We made the appointment because our regular dental office got bought out by a corporation and all the staff was leaving including my Doctor. Also they stop taking my insurance. So we were so lucky to find Soliel Dental Studio a fantastic private practice. Even before we got there Breana talked to us and before my visit informed us that my insurance had changed and it was not covering much. She informed me of their own dental plan which we joined. It is a dental plan much better and cheaper than any other dental plan I have come across. We went in had a cleaning and full X-rays and then met the doctors. A very professional and knowledgeable experience. So they welcomed us and like they like to say you are part of the family. Thank you to the Soleil team.

Had 2 teeth that needed to be pulled, and I am brand new to the area. Checked out reviews of the local dentist and Soleil had great reviews, and accepted my insurance. I called, they saw me that day, and an hour later they had my teeth out and mouth stitched up. Great people, great vibe, explained everything precisely and slowly, made sure I was aware of all that would be happening. Surgery went smooth, felt almost nothing, and was treated very kindly the entire time. Great after care info, checked on me next 2 days to make sure all was healing well, and followed up with texts and calls about the next visit. Very professional and and smooth dental experience. I highly recommend this wonderful family owned dental practice.

Very friendly and professional. Gentle exam. Straightforward and not trying to sell you anything you don't need.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have patients for life with my family!

Wonderful people. No judgement, All smiles. Dr. Rudy and his team care about you, your smile and your budget. Highly recommend.

I came in as a new patient with a chipped front tooth, Dr. Rudy fixed it within the hour including x-rays. I can’t thank them enough. The staff was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable, a very comfortable atmosphere. I’m so glad I found a dentist I can trust and be comfortable with. I won’t definitely refer them in the future.

Costumer service is empecable. They tell you what they are going to do before they do the job. They make you feel real comfortable also very clean place. Definitely recommend

Dr Rudy and staff are the best! They take such care of their patients. Thank you so much!

I had a great experience at Solei dental office. I received excellent care from Isa and Dr. Rudy, also they speak Spanish it was perfect for me. I’m really satisfied, 100% recommend.

If you’re looking for a good Dentist Office that can get you in and out with great quality Dental work, then this is definitely the place to be. Both Dr. Rudy and Dr. Valentina were amazing!I genuinely felt as though I mattered! They are my Dentists for life! 😎

Excellent service!!! Friendly people

Dr. Rudy and his staff are 10 out of 10. I've had extractions and fillings and cleanings, and you will not find another dental office or another Dr. Rudy, this place is by far the best I've ever been to. And I wouldn't refer it to anyone that is looking to have dental work done, pain free.

All staff were great!!! Alison is excellent , no pain at all 🥰🥰🥰

truly wonderful office and great experience with a Very thorough job. Really make you feel like they care and take care of you Definitely the right dentist to go to

I can't say enough great things about my experience so far with this dentist!From my very first phone call (while I was in excruciating pain) the lady on the phone was so kind and understanding made me feel comfortable from the start!To getting my X-rays done (in pain) The woman was so gentle and efficient, I was very nervous but she put me at ease and was great a her job!To meeting Dr.Rudy who was so kind and understanding of the situation I was in! He explained exactly what I needed and was able to start the process of getting my teeth fixed that day, I was out of pain with in a few hours! I could really tell that he loves his job and just wants to help people feel their best!If you are looking for a dentist that will treat you with honesty and respect this is the place for you! Clean, comfortable and very good at what they do!

got my teeth cleaning at Soleil dental. Loved all the staff they are all so welcoming. Can’t wait to come back 🦷🪥

Wonderful experience.! How many people can say that about a dental appointment! Lol This is an independent office which I really like. There are two dentists and they are both top notch . The dentist Recently moved from Miami / Fort Lauderdale now relocated to North Port. - The front office , wow! They couldn't be more helpful. So patient, and kind. There is Plenty of parking. AND If needed ,they will squeeze you in if you have an emergency. That's exactly what happened to my person, they took really good care of him! They are knowledgeable, caring, very informative, honest, and up-to-date on technology.

Just got a cleaning, and let me tell you, it was the best dental experience I ever had. They were so kind and understanding to my needs. I have a lot of anxiety and extra sensitive gums and jaw issues. They understood and made me feel at ease and the pain was minimal to what I’m used to. Best team ever. I highly recommend them.

Really good experience. Friendly and professional staff.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful experience. Very professional. Very gentle with your mouth. The doctor speaks Spanish and is very kind. I will definitely return with my whole family.(Original) Maravillosa experiencia. Muy profesionales. Muy delicados con tu boca. El Dr habla español y es muy amable. Definitivamente regresaré con toda mi familia.

Great experience. Friendly staff. Nice work.

Friendly & professional team all around. Happy to receive treatment here

So very friendly, professional and definitely glad I chose them. Cleaning was easy and timely. Would highly recommend this practice.

The desk staff, Ashley among them, were friendly and helpful. Very impressed with my hygienist Tanae, really very good. Only saw my dentist briefly, but he was very friendly and positive.

Dr. Rudy and his staff are on point. 11/10

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I had a wonderful experience at Soleil Dental Studio! Dr. Valentina is an exceptional professional. She has the gentlest touch, making dental treatment comfortable and practically painless. She is incredibly kind, caring, and delicate in everything she does. She truly has angel hands!Briana at the front desk is also wonderful, very friendly, attentive, and welcoming.I highly recommend Soleil Dental Studio. Thank you both for such excellent care!

I had a wonderful experience at this dental office! Highly recommend! The front desk ladies, hygienist, and dentist were all so kind and welcoming. You can really tell that everyone genuinely cares about their patients and takes pride in what they do. They all give 100% and are excellent at their jobs. It’s so nice to find a team that makes you feel comfortable and well cared for. I will happily be recommending this Soliel to my friends and family!

Great and friendly staff! Mr.Carballo is an amazing dentist, he saved teeth others wanted to pull. And extremely fair and honest. Two other dentists wanted more than twice the amount in fees! Highly recommend to anyone

I never in my life thought I would be able to say I actually had a delightful experience with a dentist office. From the ladies in the office upfront, that actually greeted me with a smile and said welcome, to Dr. Valentina who is an absolute doll. She was thorough, Discussed In detail, all option's .I didn’t feel rushed or like I was being shuffled out the front door I truly believe they cared about the patient. I would recommend Soleil Dental Studio 100% for all of your dental needs.

Very great experience. Visiting from Ohio and I found the best dentist here in Florida! Thank you.

--Friendly professional care at it's best. If you are afraid of Dental visits--give Soleil a visit and they will change your experience

From the moment I called to schedule my dental appointment, they were very accommodating and worked with my schedule. As soon as I walked into the office, I felt comfortable—the receptionist was very kind and welcoming from the start.Dr. Rudy clearly explained the entire process to me and made me feel calm and at ease. I was a little nervous, but he and his team made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. Everyone was very professional and attentive.The payment options were also very good, which made everything easier. The office itself is beautiful, modern, very clean, and equipped with up-to-date technology.I highly recommend this dental office 100%!

Hands down, a truly wonderful experience. Dr Rudy, Dr, Valentina and the incredible staff Hope, Kristin, and Marina are A+!

Yesterday I had a crown pop off that was attached to an implanted post. I am only here six months of the year and have never visited a dentist during my first two years here. I needed a dentist because of the exposed post. So, I called Soleil Dental Studio based on the proximity to my house. Best dental decision I ever made. Ashley took my call and could not have been more accommodating, told me to come in right away. When I arrive the entire staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Then I met Dr. Carballo who was very efficient with his diagnosis, he explained the crown could be re-cemented. Overall this was an extremely positive experience, from the exceptionally clean office to the attentive staff. I will definitely be back, hopefully for just maintenance moving forward.

I love it here! 😊 Everyone is so nice and welcoming. The place looks great and is super clean. Makes you feel good about going to the dentist ✨ Definitely recommend coming here.

I can’t say enough great things about Soleil Dental Studio and Dr. Rudy. From the moment you walk in, the office has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that it immediately puts you at ease, which says a lot when you’re heading in for dental work.Dr. Rudy is the definition of a true professional. He has an incredibly gentle touch, and I genuinely did not feel a thing when he administered the Novacaine, no pinch, no discomfort, nothing. That alone deserves five stars. On top of that, the temporary crown he placed feels almost as good as what I’d expect from the permanent one, which really speaks to the quality of his work and attention to detail.If you’re someone who gets even a little anxious about going to the dentist, this is the place you want to be. The entire experience was smooth, comfortable, and honestly way better than I expected.All in, I couldn’t recommend Soleil Dental Studio and Dr. Rudy any more highly. Do yourself a favor and give them a shot, you’ll be glad you did.

Wonderful experience, great customer service and great care. So glad I switched to Soleil Dental Studio.

Wow! As others have said you come here and you feel like family. Everything was explained to me clearly and without the feeling of being rushed out the door. It honestly didn't feel like a dentist office.

I had an excellent experience at Soleil Dental. Dr. Rudy was very informative, Tawnie was very nice and gentle while cleaning my teeth and Ashley was a pleasure at checkout!

What an amazing place! My daughter is eight years old and went in feeling so scared, but Dr. Rudy and Dr. Valentina both made her feel completely safe and comfortable. She has always been terrified of the dentist, but somehow they made her feel so good and at ease. She actually can’t wait to come back! Thank you so much for making her experience so positive! :)

My daughter is someone who usually gets very anxious about visiting the dentist, I cannot recommend Soleil Dental Studio enough. Dr Rudy and his assistant were so gentle, patient, and reassuring. They completely put my daughter at ease. If you are nervous about dental work, this is absolutely the place to go.

What impressed me the most was how genuinely caring and attentive everyone was. DOES NOT FEEL like you are at a DENTIST. Dr. Rudy & Dr. Barrucci made me feel home. They took the time to explain everything, answer all my questions, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire visit. I never felt rushed or pressured. You guys make a difference. Highly Recommended!

Went there for the first time on March 12th 2026. Walked in Office and was immediately greeted by Ashley. Waiting less than 5 minutes and was taking back by Lisa who did my X-rays. After that I met Dr. Carballo as he did a full exam. Extremely knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable. Next I meant Tonae who is the Dental Hygienist. Also made me feel completely comfortable and she was knowledgeable and professional. I’ve been in North Port for 22 years and finally found a great Dental office. Also entire Office was extremely clean and entire staff was amazing. Highly Recommend!

I recently had Dr Rudy do some reconstruction to fix what a prior dentist damaged and also had him correct my smile. It’s a few months later now and WOW!! Everything is perfect. I have no more pain and my smile is great!! Rudy came highly recommended to me so I am more than happy to recommend him. He is a great Dr and has an equally amazing staff! Thanks again Soleil and Dr Rudy!
