About the practice
Your North Miami dentists on West Dixie Highway
All Smiles General Dentistry is a mercury-free family practice that has spent more than 30 years helping South Florida families get healthy — without the fear, the rush or the surprise bills.
Who we are
Built around the patient who is nervous to come in
Most people who walk through our door have put off the dentist for a while — because of a bad experience, a tight budget or simply a busy life. We designed the practice around that person.
That means unhurried appointments, a team that explains instead of lectures, and treatment plans that start with the most conservative option. It means accepting any PPO and any Medicare dental plan so cost is not the reason someone goes without care. And it means keeping time open every day for people who are in pain right now.
We are also a 100% mercury-free office. We use tooth-colored, biocompatible materials and take your overall health into account, because your mouth is connected to everything else.

What to expect from us
Four promises we keep
You see what we see
Intraoral photos and digital X-rays go on the screen in your treatment room. If we recommend something, you will understand why.
Nothing without your yes
You get your options — including doing nothing for now — with honest pros, cons and costs. Treatment starts only when you approve it.
Gentle, unhurried care
Numbing is done patiently, breaks are always okay, and we check in throughout. Ask about comfort options if you are anxious — from a first cleaning to implant surgery.
Cost you can plan for
We verify benefits before your visit, file claims for you, and offer payment options and an in-office savings plan.
