What if your next dental visit could help you live longer,  sleep better,  and avoid major health problems…

without a single drill?

Less drilling – Less inflammation – More energy.

Because your mouth controls more than your smile.

My previous dentist told me I needed a crown because an old silver filling had failed. Not happy with that news, I searched for a better option and found Deering Dental. Not only did they restore my tooth and save me from a crown, they also proactively protected several others from a similar fate.

“I drive an hour just to come here after experiencing several dentists that only wanted to do costly procedures I didn’t really need. Dr. Pinto and her team are conscientious and will absolutely not do unnecessary work… I’m so grateful for Dr. Pinto and her team. Just wish more docs were like this . Truly practice prevention vs costly procedures.”

“This place is amazing. It’s like no other dentist I’ve ever been to, not even remotely… They fully believe in preserving as much of the original tooth as possible and will do whatever they can to help you keep it before drilling.”

You’re not broken,  but your dentist’s philosophy might be.

Traditional dentistry waits for problems to get big enough to treat. Drill it. Fill it. Crown it. Bill it. Repeat.

We do things differently.

We treat the root causes before they become root canals.

At Deering Dental, our Functional Dentistry approach isn’t just about teeth. It’s about helping you avoid chronic inflammation, heart disease, and even dementia…

Starting with your mouth.


We Do Dentistry Differently

And the Results Speak for Themselves

  • 86.5% fewer root canals compared to standard dentistry

  • 90% fewer crowns thanks to our biomimetic techniques

  • Over 1,500 patients protected from unnecessary dental work

Our patients say they’ll never go back to traditional care


The Simple 3-Step System That Actually Works

The SystemicSmile Protocol™

1. Identify Root Causes

We scan your teeth, gums, airway, bite, and smile using advanced tech and in depth screenings including sleep studies and saliva testing to uncover hidden risks, long before symptoms show up.

2. Restore Without Destroying

We preserve natural tooth structure and rebuild with techniques that mimic your natural biology using advanced biocompatible materials. Creating stronger, longer-lasting restorations and no unnecessary drilling.

3. Protect for Life

You get a personalized prevention plan that keeps your mouth (and body) healthy long-term, with optional risk based screenings, concierge-level cleanings and check-ins to track you meet your health goals.

Why It Matters: Your Mouth Is the Gateway to Health

Recent research shows:

  • Gum disease doubles your risk of heart attack and your risk of Alzheimer’s by 70%

  • Mouth breathing raises cortisol and anxiety levels

  • Chronic inflammation in the mouth can trigger full-body disease

Your mouth isn’t separate from the rest of your body. It’s the starting point for inflammation, dysfunction, and disease or vibrant health.


What to Expect at Your First Visit

Step 1: Deep-Dive Diagnostic Scan
We examine far more than just teeth. During your visit we will analyze your airway, gums, bite, sleep, oral/systemic risk factors and more.

Step 2: 1-on-1 Review With Your Doctor
You’ll sit down with Dr. Pinto or Dr. Villena for a personalized breakdown of what’s really going on and what your best options are.

Step 3: Roadmap to Better Health
We’ll build a plan to protect your smile, prevent future problems, and improve your overall wellness.

💡 Most guests say this is the first time a dentist has explained the “why” behind their issues.

✅ Who This Is For

  Functional Dentistry is perfect for you if:

  • You’re health-conscious and proactive about your body

  • You’ve had dental work fail, break, or need constant redoing

  • You want to keep your natural teeth for life

  • You’re interested in the mouth-body connection

  • You’ve been told you need a root canal, crown, or extraction, but you want another opinion

🚫 Who This Isn’t For

  • If you’re looking for the cheapest, fastest fix

  • If you’re fine with just patching problems as they come up

  • If you don’t care about preserving your natural teeth

This is comprehensive, prevention-based care, designed for people who want long-term health, not short-term patchwork.

    Still Thinking About It?

    “But I already have a dentist…”
    That’s okay. Many of our guests come in for a second opinion after feeling frustrated with rushed, reactive care or pushy sales tactics.

    “What’s the cost?”
    It depends on your specific needs. But most of our guests save money over time by avoiding crowns, root canals, and redoing work.

    “Is this covered by insurance?”
    We’re out-of-network so we can give the care you deserve, not just what insurance allows. Our reimbursement specialists will still make sure your plan pays the maximum allowed.

    Functional Dentistry Deering Dental in Palmetto Bay, near Pinecrest

    They have special technology to visualize bacteria attacking teeth; the tech shows tooth health at each layer. Deering Dental is superior to a typical dental office… Dr. Pinto and Vilma saved my wisdom tooth. They showed me how close I was to needing a root canal. I avoided it. I’m so greatful. The entire staff is great. Dr. Pinto is so down to earth. Rare gem.”

    “You can really tell they care about their patients.”

    Had a great experience at Deering Dental! The entire team was friendly and professional. Special shoutout to my hygienist, Erys—he was amazing! Super gentle, thorough, and made me feel completely at ease. Dr Pinto was awesome. You can really tell they care about their patients. Highly recommend this office for anyone looking for quality dental care with a personal touch!

    Ilona A.
    Excellent experience at Deering Dental. Everyone is professional, pleasant, and I felt very well taken care of. They respect my preferences and don’t pressure into what doesn’t feel aligned. It’s hard to explain, but this place doesn’t feel like a typical dental office. They really do stand out.

    Been coming here for years and always have a positive visit. This feels more like a spa that a dental office. Nadia took care of my cleaning today and was both thorough and gentle.

    Had horrible dentists in the past but this one is always amazing! Always clean, nice and the TV while wait and while getting everything done is a plus.
    Response from the owner:Sean thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad we’ve been able to change your past experiences and make each visit comfortable and enjoyable—including the little touches like TV during your visit. Keep Smiling, The Deering Dental Team
    Yash S.
    I had a full oral exam with Nadia and Dr. Pinto. They were very helpful in explaining a recommended treatment plan for me but also honored that for the visit I just wanted a preliminary cleaning. It was very helpful, informative and comfortable!
    Response from the owner:Hi Yash, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad Nadya and Dr. Pinto could make your visit informative, comfortable, and tailored to what you needed that day. Your trust means a lot to us. Keep Smiling, The Deering Dental Team

    Brian H.
    Wow! That is all I can say. What an amazing experience. From the moment I walked in I was greeted by the front desk staff by my first name. The professionalism and attention to detail was amazing. I did not expect that when I came in. During the appointment the assistant/hygienist (not sure the right name) was very welcoming and went over the procedures that were going to be done. I was offered complimentary water, pillows, blanket, headphones and TV service as they were attending me. Next I spoke with the doctor. Doctor Pino is a phenomenal dentist! She explained everything that was wrong with my oral health and the preventative care that should be initiated. Overall the experience was great and I will be recommending people towards this dental office. 10/10 experience!
    Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the thoughtful review, Brian! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience—from the warm welcome at the front desk to the comfort amenities and personalized care—made such a positive impression. Our team at Deering Dental truly strives to make every visit comfortable, informative, and tailored to each patient. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you again! Keep Smiling, The Deering Dental Team!

    Today was a terrific day because it began with a visit to Deering Dental for my every six month teeth cleaning and oral check-up! As was the case 6 months ago, my scheduled appointment was right-on-time with no unexpected delay. I was greeted by 2 friendly receptionists each smiling as they offered me a menu and asked if I would like to choose something from the list of beverages. Moments later, I was greeted by Angie, who after taking a few x-rays did a very thorough cleaning and then polishing my teeth. Angie was a kind, considerate and interested professional. If your looking for a dental practice, look no further, Deering Dental is the go-to place for all of your dental needs!
    Cordially submitted, Steve
    Response from the owner:Steve, we're delighted to hear that you had a great experience at Deering Dental. Angie's extensive knowledge and friendliness are certainly assets to our team and I'm glad you noticed what an amazing professional she is. We're glad you enjoyed your teeth cleaning and the opportunity to catch up on a few tv episodes during the process. Looking forward to your next visit! Keep Smiling, Dr. Pinto
    Volha B.
    My first visit today went really well! I had a consultation and a cleaning. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this office truly matches their advertised image. We talked about the treatment plan, and I appreciated that the doctor recommended minimally invasive options to address my issues—just what I wanted. The office environment is very welcoming, and by the way, I experienced no wait time!
    Response from the owner:Volha, thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re so glad your first visit went so well and that you appreciated our welcoming environment, on-time appointments, and minimally invasive approach to care. It means a lot to know we met your expectations, and we look forward to continuing your care. Keep smiling, The Deering Dental Team
    Veronica C S.
    I had a great experience from start to finish. From the front desk to the hygienist to the dentist herself, everyone made me feel welcome and explained everything in great detail. Highly recommend!

    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
    Andrew & Amanda B.
    I had a fantastic experience on my first visit to this dental office. The office was spotless and welcoming, and the staff were absolutely wonderful from start to finish. They made me feel comfortable and well taken care of, taking the time to thoroughly explain each procedure and answer all of my questions. I truly appreciated their professionalism and kindness. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for great dental care!
    Response from the owner:Amanda, thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re so happy your first visit felt welcoming, comfortable, and well explained. Our team truly values professionalism and kindness, and we’re grateful for your recommendation. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Keep Smiling, The Deering Dental Team

    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!
