Welcome to Thrive Dental Associates
A Unique Dental Experience
Thrive Dental Associates does dentistry differently. We take the time to educate and inform you every step of the way instead of a general examination to merely find out what you need. We want you to fully understand your treatment options.
We pride ourselves on focusing on you and your comfort. We know going to the dentist doesn’t sound fun, but at Thrive Dental Associates, it can be!
Meet the Doctors
Dr. Jeff and Dr. A believe in being different. Instead of the traditional paragraph bios you get on other websites, they want you to know about their values and priorities.
Dr. Jeffrey Yee
Dr. Jeff was born and raised in Pensacola and has followed in his father’s footsteps by becoming a 2nd generation dentist. Dr. Jeff has always had strong ties to dentistry from even before he could remember.
Dr. Iti Agarwal
Dr. A loves the personal interaction with patients while combining science and the art of dentistry. She is very motivated and always striving to learn, whether it be through reading articles or attending continuing education courses.

Your comfort is extremely important to us.
We want you to be able to see what’s going on inside your mouth, which is why we have intraoral cameras set up in every room. Dr. A and Dr. Jeff will take the time to show you photos of your mouth and share what they believe should be improved, but only if they need to be.
Rather not know and zone out during the appointment? That’s ok too! We have TVs on the ceiling with headphones so you can watch your favorite show while getting your treatment done. This is great for your little ones! It really makes going to the dentist a relaxing experience.
We even have blankets for you during your appointment if you want to get cozy, and a warm towel to freshen up after your appointment so you can leave feeling relaxed and refreshed.
That’s why we offer the following amenities to make your stay more comfortable:
- Weighted blanket -Keeps you warm, gives a sense of calm and reduces anxiety
- TV and headphones– Stream your favorite show and stay entertained while we take care of you
- Pillow– Stay comfortable with some extra neck support
- Chapstick– Moisturize your lips before, during, and after treatment
- Sleep mask– Want to sleep? Put on a mask and snooze
- Warm scented towel– So you can leave feeling fresh and clean
- Full body massage mat– Soothing waves of relaxation while we serve you
- Charger– Running out of juice? We got you.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to make your experience exceptional!
"After taking my grandchildren to Thrive Dental and seeing the wonderful work they were doing, I decided to change from my dentist. After this, my first appointment, I am SOLD! The extensive consultation, examination and cleaning were incredibly thorough and amazingly comprehensive. There aren’t enough words to describe the awesome work that these professionals perform."

"Dr. Yee and his staff are incredible! Everyone is so kind and they make the experience of going to the dentist so much more comforting & enjoyable. My son (6 yr. old) had to have his tooth extracted today and it’s because Dr. Yee and his staff took the time to talk him through everything, he was so calm. Plus having the comforting items just made everything that much better! It so wonderful to have a place where my children and myself won’t have a traumatic or anxiety ridden experience with going to the dentist!"
- Brooke T.
"Every staff member was extremely nice & sympathetic. My husband & I have been through a lot the last few years & then find out he needs major work when we are on a fixed income made me very teary but they were so understanding. The doctor was patient t with my husband because he has trouble understanding sometimes. They are also willing to help us with a payment plan. I got the yearly plan & that paid for all the X-rays they did. I plan on joining a soon as I can find the money to pay for it. Thanks so much to everyone for your understanding & patience to me & my husband."

My daughter who is not usually thrilled to go to the dentist; she absolutely loves going here!! The front desk girls are so polite and helpful!! I am so glad that we found this dentist!!! The best hands down!"

"I had an amazing experience at Thrive Dental! The staff at check in were very kind and informative about what their dental office has to offer. Dr. Chris took the time to make sure I had no unanswered questions at the end of my exam. The dental assistant Emily was friendly and eased my anxiety throughout the process, and the dental hygienist Savannah was gentle and thorough! My teeth look and feel great. I typically have anxiety about going to the dentist, as most people do, but I feel confident coming to Thrive for any of my dental needs."

"This is by far one of the best dental offices I’ve been to. The front desk staff are always welcoming, friendly, and excellent at communicating and keeping me updated on scheduling. The dental hygienists do an amazing job—my teeth always feel incredibly clean after each visit. Dr. Jeff Yee is outstanding at explaining dental concerns and clearly communicating treatment options. I highly recommend this office!"
- Mia S.
"The staff here are extremely kind and genuinely care about my experience. The rooms are super clean and they offer different selections (such as a weighted blanket, etc.) to help with anxiety and comfort. My Dentist is Dr. Jeff, and you can tell that the best results possible are personally important to him. Thank you for a positive experience!"
