I had a broken tooth and had a history of abscess, being a Snowbird in the area for six to seven months a year I was in need of a dentist here in the Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte area. I found Tony after two other Dentist told me they could not help me. Tony told me up front he could help me but he wanted to take his time in order to make a set of dentures that would give me the proper service so I wouldn’t have any problems when I returned to Michigan. I would recommend Tony and his staff Tara and Lisa to meet you dental needs! He is very detail oriented! Thank You Dr. Tony Menendez!
