Dr. Navarro is a dual certified dental specialist in Orthodontics and DentoFacial Orthopedics and Pediatric Dentistry. He was born in Managua, Nicaragua and moved to Florida when he was 11 years old to start a new life full of dreams and hope. He played baseball at Nova High School in Davie, Florida where he won the Florida State Championship at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. Baseball opened the doors to an education at LaGrange College in Georgia where he played baseball for four years and earned an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry.
During Dr. Navarros college years, he shadowed a local dentist and was immediately drawn to the field. This led him to pursue and earn his DMD degree with honors from the Medical College of Georgia (now Augusta University). He practiced as a general dentist in Warner Robins, Georgia and then moved to Brooklyn, NY to complete his first specialty in Pediatric Dentistry at NYU Lutheran. It was during his training in pediatric dentistry that Dr. Navarro was exposed to orthodontics and realized that creating beautiful smiles gave him great satisfaction and he could vastly impact the life of his patients. After practicing as a pediatric dentist in Queens, NY he went on to complete his second specialty in Orthodontics and DentoFacial Orthopedics at NYU Hospitals Center, where he received the Theodore L. Jerrold award in recognition for outstanding achievement and graduating first in his class.
Dr. Navarro is not the average Orthodontist. His two specialties have given him a better understanding of growth and development which gives him the ability to treat complex cases that require surgical intervention, growth modification with Orthopedics, and craniofacial anomalies in conjunction with craniofacial teams. He has ample experience with Invisalign and can treat routine and complex cases with aligners.
Dr. Navarro lives in Lutz with his wife, Kelly, and has served the Tampa Bay community for the last three years. They like to explore Tampa (and the world!), entertain, cook and eat new foods. He enjoys playing softball (when not recovering from a knee injury). He likes to help the community by sponsoring local schools, little league teams and donating wood bats to ball players. Dr. Navarro regularly returns to Nicaragua to share his specialty knowledge and expertise by treating underprivileged children in conjunction with local dentists.

We LOVE Dr. Navarro and his entire office staff!!! I have twins and one of them had a very complicated case. He also has bad anxiety and I can't thank them enough for being patient. We are back for phase 2 of his treatment and now it's his brother's turn too. We drive almost an hour to see Dr. Navarro because there is no where else I would take my kiddos. Keep up the amazing job guys!

We haven't even been to our appointment yet and I'm already happy with this place. Ingri was so kind and patient. She's the type of person any doctor would want answering phones and scheduling appointments. She was a real pleasure.

My daughter just became a new patient at this orthodontist office This office screams Kardashian vibe the staff in entirety treats every patient with top priority treatment. Dr Narrow is very detailed in establishing a treatment plan for his patients. I was amazed how well this office communicated with me while still providing Exceptional services.. to my child . I am totally convinced this office was meant to serve the Stars that's what my child received Star studded treatment with a Dr Narrow.. who from start to finish Genuinely has a passion for his practice

(Translated by Google) The office of Dr. NAVARRO. It is one of the best I have visited. My daughter is a special girl in every way. But she arrives with all the confidence and tranquility in the world because she knows that they await her with great affection to serve her. All the staff are very friendly, but especially thanks to Ingrid for that kindness with us. I recommend them 100%. (Original) La oficina del Dr. NAVARRO. Es uno de los mejores que he visitado.
