The Miami dental landscape
Miami is a big city with a lot of dental options, which is great news once you know how to sort through them. On dental.me’s directory of Miami dentists, we currently list 895 dental practices across the area. Of those, 405 have Google or Maps enrichment, 316 list a website, and 404 show a star rating. Even better for getting to know who you might see, 747 practices have at least one named dentist pulled from public records.
That depth means you can compare offices on the things that matter to you, rather than just picking the closest name on a map. Below is a plain-English walkthrough of how to choose, what specialties are common in Miami, and how to think about cost and insurance.
How to choose a dentist
Start with what you actually need. A routine cleaning and checkup is different from braces, implants, or a child’s first visit. Once you know the type of care, narrowing the list gets much easier.
- Location and hours: Pick somewhere you can realistically get to, ideally near home or work.
- Ratings and reviews: Star ratings and review counts give a sense of other patients’ experiences. Read a few reviews, not just the number.
- Specialty match: If you need specialized work, look for a practice that lists that focus.
- Confirm the details: Always call or check the office’s site to confirm insurance, new-patient availability, and pricing before you book.

A few highly-rated examples
To give you a feel for the kind of feedback some Miami offices receive, here are a few examples. These are third-party Google ratings and review counts that we display, not an endorsement, and details can change, so confirm directly with each office.
- Dustin Pfundheller shows a 4.9 rating across 3,664 reviews.
- A New Smile Dental Center shows a 4.9 rating across 2,142 reviews.
- Kiddos Pediatric Dentistry shows a 5.0 rating across 1,499 reviews.
Use ratings as one signal among several. A high score paired with a large number of reviews can be more reassuring than a perfect score from only a handful of people.
Neighborhoods and practical tips
Miami spreads across many neighborhoods, from Brickell and Downtown to Coral Gables, Little Havana, and the suburbs to the west and south. Traffic and parking vary a lot, so a dentist that is technically close may still be a hassle to reach at rush hour. Think about which areas you pass through during a normal week.
A few practical pointers: ask whether the office offers services in the language you are most comfortable with, check that their hours fit your schedule, and find out how they handle emergencies. When you call, it helps to have your questions ready, including anything about your specific dental history. For medical guidance about your own teeth, rely on a licensed dentist rather than a general article.
Cost and insurance
Dental prices vary widely by procedure, provider, and your coverage, so it is hard to pin down a single number. As a very rough national reference, a routine checkup and cleaning often falls somewhere in a modest two-figure to low three-figure range, while bigger procedures cost more, but these are broad ballpark ranges only and not specific to any Miami office. Your actual cost depends on your plan and the work involved.
The reliable move is to ask each office directly. Confirm whether they take your insurance, what your out-of-pocket share would be, and whether payment plans are available before treatment begins.
