Your general dentist is the foundation for everything else. Checkups, X-rays, fillings, crowns, gum treatment and extractions when needed. It's what keeps your mouth healthy and keeps a small problem from turning into an expensive one.
PureSmile Miami opens November 1, 2026 in Kendall. We will see the whole family at the same clinic, with a bilingual team, without rushing, and accepting Medicare Advantage, PPO, HMO and self-pay.
Exam and diagnosis. A complete exam with digital X-rays to see what isn't visible to the naked eye: decay between teeth, root infections, bone loss, wisdom teeth.
Fillings. Cavities repaired with tooth-colored composite. The earlier a cavity is caught, the smaller the filling and the more tooth is preserved. An ignored cavity ends up needing a root canal or an extraction.
Crowns. When little healthy tooth is left after a fracture, a large cavity or a root canal, a crown covers it and keeps it from cracking.
Gum treatment. From deep cleaning for gingivitis and periodontitis to periodic maintenance. Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults and rarely hurts until the problem is advanced.
Extractions. When a tooth can't be saved, or for wisdom teeth that are causing problems. We always explain first whether there's an alternative that would let you keep it.
Children's dentistry. Checkups, sealants and fluoride treatments for the kids in the family, with patience and without making them afraid of the dentist.
When people talk about their dental experiences, the same frustrations come up again and again: bills that don't match what they were told, calls that never get returned, and waiting rooms where a 3 o'clock appointment turns into 4.
We've built our approach around avoiding exactly that, and it's very simple:
A clear price in writing before we start. We tell you what you need, what your insurance covers and what you'll pay, before touching anything. No surprises on your bill.
We answer the phone. And if we can't at that moment, we call you back.
We respect your time. We work to keep appointments on schedule.
In your language. Our whole team is bilingual. Understanding what's being done in your mouth shouldn't depend on which language you speak.
No judgment. Whether it's been six months or six years since your last visit, we start from where you are today.
For most people, a checkup and cleaning every six months. That schedule lets us catch cavities while they're small and keep gums under control before there's bone loss. If you have periodontitis or diabetes, or you smoke, every three or four months is probably better.
Regular checkups are one of the smartest investments you can make in your dental health. Almost every expensive treatment started out as something small that wasn't caught in time.
What insurance do you accept?
We accept Medicare Advantage, PPO, HMO and self-pay. We verify your plan for free, in English or Spanish, before your appointment and tell you what it covers and what you'll owe, with the price in writing before we start.
How does the dental benefit in my Medicare Advantage plan work?
Many Medicare Advantage plans include a dental benefit that renews every year, and in most plans whatever you don't use is lost: it doesn't carry over to the next year. What it covers varies from plan to plan, so we verify yours at no cost and tell you exactly what it includes before you decide anything.
What if I don't have insurance?
We'll still see you, with clear prices and payment plans. You don't need insurance to take care of your teeth.
Do you see children?
Yes, we see the whole family. You can bring your kids and your parents and have everyone seen in the same visit.
I'm afraid of the dentist.
It's much more common than you might think. We go slowly, explain each step before doing it and stop whenever you need.
