Stellar service! Came in with a broken tooth, thinking I needed a crown. However, Dr. Nuria Otero worked her magic by reshaping my tooth and creating dental symmetry.

(Translated by Google) The treatment was wonderful since I made my first appointment by phone, then I arrived at the reception and the boy who welcomed me was very nice and professional, as was the assistant who took me to Dr. Nuria's office, very nice and genuine. Sitting in the patient's chair, I had the great opportunity to meet Dr. Nuria in person, who received me warmly and professionally from the first moment. Immediately and without wasting time, he began to examine me in order to immediately start my dental evaluation, which left me very happy and excited for the next step. Thank you very much to all! Excellent team! (Original) El trato fue maravilloso desde que hice mi primera cita por telefono, luego llegue a la recepcion y el muchacho que me dio la bienvenida fue muy agradable y profesional, al igual que la asistente que me llevo al consultorio de la doctora Nuria, muy simpatica y genuina. Ya sentada en la silla del paciente tuve la gran oportunidad de conocer en persona a la doctora Nuria, quien desde el primer momento me recibio calida y profesionalmente. Enseguida y sin perder tiempo se puso a examinarme para asi iniciar inmediatamente mi evaluacion dental, la cual me dejo muy feliz y entusiasmada para el proximo paso. Muchas gracias a todos! Excelente equipo!

My experience with Dr. Nuria Otero was incredible, from the first moment she saw me and did my evaluation, I felt complete confidence in her, I traveled from Orlando so that she could do my treatment. She is an excellent professional, very thorough in her work and she has great human quality. In short, I would travel as many times as necessary for her to treat me again if it is necessary . I am very happy and grateful with the treatment and the results obtained are magnificent, all the office staff is very nice and makes the moment very pleasant. Infinite thanks to Dr. Nuria, her assistants, Dr Javier and all the staff at Aventura Dental Arts.

All the staff at Aventura Dental Arts is awesome! From Dr. Otero & Diane W., to Noah, Javier & the girls at the front desk, they all go out of their way to make your visit a painless & happy one. You really forget you're at the dentist's! I had never experienced anything like it. All my life I was terrified of dentists. Thx so much for turning pain into pleasure. My dental health is extremely grateful!
