Deering Dental is a functional oral health practice built around prevention, diagnostics, and long-term outcomes — not drilling, patching, and repeat repairs.

Standard Dentistry Is Built Around Procedures.

We Built Ours Around Health.

Most dental offices focus on fixing problems after they show up.

We focus on why breakdown happens, how oral inflammation affects the rest of the body, and how to intervene early — so major dental work becomes the exception, not the expectation.

Dentistry is something we do.
Preventing the need for it is the goal.

This Is Not a Fit for Everyone.

Deering Dental works best for people who:

  • value prevention over reaction
  • understand functional and integrative medicine
  • want ongoing monitoring, not one-off visits
  • are willing to do things differently to protect long-term health

If you’re looking for insurance-driven dentistry or quick fixes, there are many excellent practices better suited for that.

When You Treat Causes Instead of Symptoms,

The Math Changes.

Our approach leads to:

  • 86.5% fewer root canals
  • 90% fewer crowns
  • stronger teeth preserved through conservative, biomimetic care
  • fewer surprises and more predictable outcomes

Because when you stop chasing damage, you stop creating it.

What We Believe

We believe:

  • oral inflammation affects the entire body
  • teeth are meant to be preserved, not drilled into submission
  • dentistry should support long-term health, not create dependency
  • the best dental work is the work you never need

This isn’t a technique.
It’s a philosophy — and a system.

MIAMI’S FIRST BIOMIMETIC DENTAL PRACTICE

Hello, my name is Dr. Yenile Pinto and prior to opening my own practice in Palmetto Bay, I worked at dental offices throughout Miami and had become frustrated by what I saw. A recurring widespread problem of unhappy guests because of long waiting times, sub-par work, pushy sales tactics, questionable billing practices and terrible service. I knew there had to be a better way.

I decided to start my own practice with a mission to deliver dentistry the way it should be delivered, with your needs first.

Hola super complacida con la atencion son unos verdaderos profecionales la Dr Claudia y su equipo son exepcinales no es primera ves y siempre salgo con la mejor sonrisa mil gracias
Jeff E.
It does a disservice to call this business just a dentist office. At Deering Dental, they completely redefined a dentist appointment, where patients’ experience is actively cultivated by every staff member to eliminate any anxiety or discomfort. From the moment one walks in the door and is handed a menu of complimentary items to choose from to the tv to watch while in the chair (Netflix, HBO, others), the primary focus is patient comfort and satisfaction. For the first time in 24 years of having kids, I have one that is excited to go back to the dentist; it’s unheard of. Special shoutout to hygienist Angie who is the first person in over 10 years to give me a deep cleaning during which it didn’t feel like old grudges were being settled. Most importantly, my family feels like we’re finally being treated as individuals and having our whole health considered, rather than being thrown a corporate, algorithmic approach that’s best for the insurance company. Because of constant moving, we’ve been to dozens of dentists over the years. Dr Pinto and her office are, without question, the best we’ve ever experienced.
Response from the owner:Jeff, thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review. We’re honored to hear that your family feels truly cared for and that even your kids are excited to come back—that means everything to us. Creating a calm, personalized, and anxiety-free experience is exactly what we strive for, and we’re so glad Angie and our entire team delivered that for you. We truly appreciate your trust and kind words. Keep Smiling, The Deering Dental

Natalie M.
The staff at Deering were wonderful and so accommodating. The experience inside was lovely too — I almost felt like I was checking into the spa!

In terms of the actual dental visit, Dr. Pinto and Nadia were great! They both explained things in great detail, and my cleaning was so smooth and easy. I also love their biomimetic approach to dentistry. I certainly recommend a visit!
Response from the owner:Natalie, thank you for such a lovely review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the spa-like experience and our biomimetic approach. It means a lot to hear that Nadia and I helped make your visit smooth, informative, and comfortable. We truly appreciate the recommendation and look forward to seeing you again soon! Keep Smiling, Dr. Pinto
Yaneris E.
I can’t say enough great things about this dentist. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you’re in the hands of someone who’s both genuinely down-to-earth and incredibly professional. They explain everything clearly, never rush you, and make even the more intimidating procedures feel manageable. The environment is calm, the team is welcoming, and you can tell they truly care about your comfort and long-term dental health. If you’re looking for a dentist who combines skill, sincerity, and a refreshing level of approachability, this is the one. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Yaneris, thank you so much for this beautiful review. It means a lot to know you felt genuinely cared for from the moment you walked in. We work hard to create a calm, transparent, and unrushed experience, and I’m so glad that came through. Helping guests feel comfortable—even during the intimidating parts—is at the heart of what we do. We truly appreciate your trust and your recommendation. Looking forward to taking great care of you for years to come! Keep Smiling, The Deering Dental Team!
Lyndenise
After years of driving by Deering Dental, I decided to give them a try. This was, by far, the best dental experience I have ever had. After several bad experiences with other dentists in Miami, I was anxious for my visit. Those feeling quickly went away once I arrived. The staff is amazing and go above and beyond to make your visit as comfortable as possible. From offering beverages to comforting amenities like a heated blanket and headphones.

My hygienist, Angie, was remarkable. She asked thorough questions and walked me through their very tech savvy operations. The cleaning was great! She checked in on me throughout and used a numbing cream that didn’t last too long after the appointment.

Dr. Pinto was so kind and attentive. Walking me through the x-rays and sharing recommendations aligned with a few services was requesting. The staff was also friendly in outlining next steps and costs associated with each.

I highly recommend Deering Dental for an outstanding experience that takes away any anxiety related to a dental visit.
Response from the owner:Lyndenise, thank you so much for this truly thoughtful review. We’re thrilled that your first visit with us helped ease the anxiety caused by past experiences. Angie will be so happy to hear how much you appreciated her care and the time she took to guide you through our technology and make your cleaning comfortable. And I’m grateful for your kind words—walking you through your X-rays and recommendations is something I consider essential to great dentistry. We’re so glad the comforts, amenities, and transparency helped make this your best dental experience yet. We look forward to caring for you for many years to come! Keep Smiling, The Deering Dental Team!
Jessica I.
Amazing experience for someone who fears the Dentist. The staff were all super nice especially Nadia. Dr. Pinto was also very nice. They did a thorough exam and explained everything. Also spoke to me about treatment plan.
Response from the owner:Jessica, thank you so much for sharing this! We’re honored to hear this and we’re so glad your exam and treatment plan felt thorough and reassuring. We’re here to make dental care stress-free, and we can’t wait to keep taking great care of you! Keep Smiling, The Deering Dental Team

Michelle Quintana G.
Amazing experience! From the front desk to the dental hygienist to meeting with Dr. Pinto- they explain everything clearly, make you feel completely at ease, and genuinely care about your comfort and long-term dental health.
Response from the owner:Michelle, thank you so much for your kind words!

Clear communication and long-term dental health are core to our philosophy, so it means a lot that this stood out to you. We’re grateful you chose us and look forward to seeing you again soon!

Juan Pablo C.
I had a thorough cleaning and appreciated the clarity and time they took with me. The hygienist was warm, attentive, and explained everything she was doing. The technology made the process transparent, and I could see my teeth, the notes, and the imaging in real time.

The dentist was careful, professional, and gave measured explanations. She reviewed the findings and helped me understand what needed attention and what did not.

The visit was thorough; they did not rush. Overall, I felt well cared for and intend to return.
Response from the owner:Juan, thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback! I’m delighted to hear you felt so well cared for and appreciated the time, clarity, and transparency of your visit. Our team takes great pride in combining advanced technology with a patient-first approach, so it’s wonderful to know that came through in your experience. We look forward to welcoming you back and continuing your care! Keep Smiling, The Deering Dental Team!
May G
From the moment I walked in, I knew this dental office was something special! The atmosphere feels more like a spa or a luxury boutique hotel than a typical dental clinic. The front desk ladies are absolutely amazing, so welcoming and kind, they make you feel pampered from the start.
Angi, my hygienist, was incredibly knowledgeable and gentle. She explained everything to me throughout my cleaning, which made me feel so comfortable and informed. I even got to choose from a menu of complimentary comforts( from bubbles to heated pillows and blankets) it truly felt like a “me time” spa day!
They surprised me with a thoughtful birthday gift and a lovely welcome package, which made the experience even more special. The doctor took her time explaining my treatment plan and really made me feel cared for.
I’m so happy I found this place and that my friend recommended it to me! For the first time ever, I actually look forward to my dental appointments. I’m obsessed!

Love going to this dentist.
Never been to a dental office who accommodates and makes sure you’re feeling comfortable from the beginning you walk in and the moment you walk out. Nadia did an amazing job cleaning my teeth. Really did one of the best cleanings I’ve had. He assured and showed me every little detail he was doing and was going to do next. The place it self is very relaxing and spotless and is very welcoming with their amazing staff they have in their team as well.
Response from the owner:Alexis, your kind words light up our day! It's heartwarming to know that you find our office welcoming and feel comfortable throughout your visit. Erick will be delighted to hear of your positive experience with him. Ensuring our guests are informed and at ease is a top priority for us. Thank you for recognizing our efforts and our wonderful team. See you at your next visit! Keep Smiling, Dr. Pinto.
