He also maintains memberships with the American Dental Association, the Florida Dental Association, the South Florida District Dental Association, and the Academy of Osseointegration. Additionally, Dr. Barsky acts in a diplomatic capacity on behalf of the ACP, contributing to promotional materials designed to educate patients about what prosthodontists do and how patients can benefit from the specialized treatment these professionals provide.
Dr. Barsky applied for and received certification as a prosthodontist following the completion of a residency in prosthodontics at the U.S. Army Medical Department in Fort Gordon, Georgia. Only about a third of trained prosthodontists pass the arduous examination process to become board certified. Prior to this, Dr. Barsky received a Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Maryland, Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, before which he completed a baccalaureate program at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., earning a Bachelor of Science degree.
Following his extensive education, during which he began to develop his holistic philosophy concerning the role of a dentist and prosthodontist, Dr. Barsky embarked on his career path with the intention of making a notable difference in the lives of patients suffering from oral health and cosmetic dental concerns. His goal was to have a positive and lasting impact on the daily life of every patient.
Dr. Barsky not only offers expertise in common dental procedures like teeth whitening, tooth bonding, dental crowns, and dental veneers, but he can also tackle more complex processes, such as tooth replacement with complete or partial removable dentures, as well as dental implants. In addition, Dr. Barsky can implement complex and comprehensive treatment plans for complete smile makeovers, including coordinating complementary practices and procedures and working with other dental and medical specialists.
Dr. Barsky is comfortable, competent, and experienced working with a wide range of cosmetic dentistry and oral health concerns, including the special needs of geriatric patients, snoring and sleep disorders, Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Syndrome, traumatic injuries, and maxillofacial prosthetic procedures, including reconstructions after oral cancer.
Every patient has a unique smile and particular concerns when it comes to oral health and cosmetic appearance. Dr. Barsky understands that this requires individualized care and case-by-case assessment to determine the best use of available technologies and dental procedures. Every patient deserves not only the peace of mind that comes with maintaining good oral health, but also the confidence to smile.
Teeth that are stained, misaligned, missing, or otherwise compromised can stop patients from enjoying the endorphins that result every time a person smiles. Oral health issues and cosmetic concerns can hold patients back from one of the greatest joys in life: expressing pleasure through smiling. Dr. Barsky is committed to ensuring that every patient receives the restorative care needed to enjoy a functional and beautiful smile.
Dr. Barsky uses his training, knowledge, experience, and skill, paired with the latest technologies and advanced dental techniques, to provide specialized and individualized dental care to patients in need, especially those facing serious oral health and cosmetic dental concerns. This ensures positive patient outcomes and optimal oral health for every patient.

Dr. Abril believes in performing thorough dental, periodontal, radiographic, and oral cancer exams. After considering all information gathered, his goal is always to execute long-lasting and predictable courses of treatment. Customer service and bedside manner are just as important to Dr. Abril as the dentistry itself, and he believes in educating his patients while providing gentle dental care.
Dr. Abril is the second dentist in his family after his sister, who is also a graduate of the University of Maryland. He met his wife Ana Cristina in Miami after dental school, and they have a daughter named Carolina.

Extremely happy with the veneers Dr. Barsky did for me four years ago. Not only are they beautiful and very natural looking, they have held up without any issues. He is also very accommodating if there is an urgent need. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a professional for a new smile.

Dr. Todd Barsky is the very best. I am so pleased with the crown he did for me. First I had a temporary crown that felt like it was my own tooth, then my crown came from the lab and fit perfectly. Contact between teeth can not have been better. That means no food between the crown and my own molar. The staff was very very nice and professional. I highly recommend him.

Let's be honest, going to the dentist is not fun. However, Dr. Barsky's practice is officially my favorite new dental office! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with smiles from his assistants and front desk staff. Everyone is extremely professional and make me feel comfortable from start to finish. Dr. Barsky always comes out to greet me and walks me to the room. He is extremely thorough, confident and professional. We talk about my procedures in depth before anything begins, and he even insists I hold the mirror while I'm getting work done so he can explain what's going on. Once everything is over, we talk about next steps and home care. I always feel so happy when I leave his office and I would recommend him to anyone who is on the fence about choosing a new dentist. He's the best! So glad I found him!

The doctor and his staff are most courteous, accommodating, and professional. They go "above and beyond" to make the patient feel comfortable with the fees, treatment plan, and entire dental process. I truly recommend Dr. Todd Barsky to anyone in need of assessment of their dental needs and highly professional care.

If I had two mouths I would do it again! My case was very complicated and I couldn't be happier for having trusted Dr Barsky and his staff. After years of orthodontic treatment I was still very unhappy with the result of my smile. I met with several cosmetic dentists in Miami but was impressed with the level of attention to details and expertise that Dr. Barsky showed during my consultation. My treatment was challenging and invasive because it included a combination of six veneers, two crowns and two bridges, all to be done concealing subpar orthodontic results to help correct my bite, midline and aesthetics. It was a task I wasn't sure if it could be done and quite frankly I had set my expectations very low. Thanks to Dr Barsky's compulsive quest for perfection, he didn't settle for average and was able to reconstruct my bite and smile better than I never thought possible. Just one month after treatment I completed I have gotten more compliments from my smile than I ever thought would be possible. This guy is legit. Thank you Dr. Barksky and staff!
