Cost

How your cost is worked out

We don't publish prices because no two mouths need the same work. This is how you get to your number.

What changes the cost.
How many teeth are involved, what each one needs (for example, whether bone has to be rebuilt before an implant) and the material you choose. Your crowns, veneers and implant teeth are made in our own lab, so there's no outside-lab markup in your quote.
What you get in writing.
A plan with every step and its price, what your dental insurance should cover once we verify it, and the balance. What's written is what you pay for that treatment.
How you can pay.
With your dental insurance, and with financing through CareCredit, with 0% interest plans for qualified patients, subject to credit approval. We go over the monthly options with you before you sign anything.
What's free and what isn't.
The evaluation visit is free: your exam, x-rays and written plan, plus checking your dental insurance benefits. Treatment is paid. If your case needs anything with a cost before we start, we tell you first.

Patients

What Our Patients Say

Amazing care!!! I want to highlight the family-like treatment I received from Dr. Mario García, the manager Aurora, the front desk Karina and Yaneth!! And all the assistants too. I recommend them 100% if you want to feel like part of the family.
Lazara CarboGoogle review, translated from Spanish
This clinic offers flexible payment options that make treatment affordable for everyone. They were very transparent about costs from the beginning, which gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciate their honest and straightforward approach.
Santino Glez BalmoriGoogle review
One of the things I admire most about this clinic is their focus on patient education. They don't just treat you, they also teach you about the importance of dental care. That proactive approach has motivated me to take better care of my smile.
Rosaa OlivaaGoogle review, translated from Spanish
A very positive experience. I had an emergency and they fit me in quickly. The quality of the work is high and the prices seemed reasonable to me. I'll be back for my regular checkups.
Anay SanchezGoogle review, translated from Spanish
Simply a very special place. Exceptional customer service and high-quality work. I personally recommend this place 100%.

Step by step

How implant treatment goes

  1. The evaluation visit, which is free. An exam, x-rays and a conversation about what you need: one tooth, several, or a full set. You leave with the plan and its price in writing.
  2. Placement. The implant is placed with local anesthesia. Most patients describe mild soreness for a day or two afterward. If bone needs rebuilding first, we tell you at the first visit and it goes in your written plan.
  3. Healing. The implant needs time to bond with the bone. That usually takes a few months, and longer if bone was rebuilt.
  4. Your final teeth. The crown, bridge or full set of fixed teeth is made in our own lab, where we adjust the shade, shape and bite before it goes in.

Your timeline is set at your evaluation and written into your plan.

Implant, bridge or denture: an honest comparison

If you're missing one tooth and the teeth next to it are healthy, an implant usually protects them more than a bridge, because it doesn't touch them. If you're missing most of your teeth and budget comes first, a denture, or one that clips onto implants, is a reasonable place to start. The exam decides which fits your bone and your budget, and you get the price of each option in writing.

Middle ground: a denture that clips onto two to four implants. It's much steadier than a regular denture and costs less than fixed teeth, but it comes out for cleaning.

How smile design goes

  1. The evaluation visit, which is free. You tell us what you want to change and what you want to keep. We look at your smile together with your face, and check that your teeth and gums are healthy first.
  2. Design and preview. Dr. Garcia designs the new smile around your face and shows you a preview before any irreversible work begins.
  3. Preparation. For porcelain veneers, a thin layer of enamel is usually removed, which is why the change can't be undone. We take digital scans and our own lab makes your veneers, with the shade and shape decided here.
  4. Placement. At the next visit your veneers are bonded and your bite is checked. Porcelain usually takes two to three visits over a few weeks. Composite can often be done in a single visit.

Your timeline is set at your evaluation and written into your plan.

Whitening, bonding or veneers: which one do you need?

If only the color bothers you, start with whitening. For one chipped tooth or a small gap, bonding is often enough. Porcelain veneers make sense when you want to change the shape and color of several visible teeth and want it to last; if you go that way, whiten first, because veneers don't whiten afterward. If a tooth is broken or heavily filled, the usual answer is a crown, not a veneer.

Why us

Why Patients Choose Dental Fitness

What makes the difference

Your crowns, veneers and implant teeth are made here, not shipped in

Our ceramist works in our own lab, a few steps from the chair. That is how the shade, the shape and the translucency get matched to your face instead of guessed at from a photograph. No middlemen, no outside-lab markups, and a shorter wait: some cases are finished in as little as one week. Ask us whether yours qualifies.

Wear It Before You Decide

Before any permanent work begins, a smile try-on is possible: you wear it on your own face, you see it, and you either approve it or we adjust it. Nothing irreversible happens until you say yes.

You're Never a Number Here

As the clinic owner and your dentist, Dr. Garcia personally cares for you. From a cleaning to a full-arch implant case, the same team plans it and our own lab makes it.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the evaluation really free? Will I be charged anything that day?

We don't charge for the visit or for the quote. It includes your exam with the doctor, x-rays and a written treatment plan with your exact price, and we check your dental insurance benefits at no cost. Treatment is paid, and you only start it if you decide to, with the price already in hand. If you have dental insurance, bring your card.

How much will my treatment cost?

We can't give you a fair number before the doctor has seen your mouth, because it depends on how many teeth are involved, what each one needs and the material. What we can tell you now is how you'll get it: at your evaluation you receive a written plan with each step and its price, what your dental insurance should cover and what's left. If you'd rather not pay it all at once, you can spread it out with financing through CareCredit, with 0% interest plans for qualified patients, subject to credit approval.

I don't have dental insurance, or my credit isn't great. Can I still come in?

Yes, you can come in and see your options. Many of our patients pay without insurance. If you do have a dental plan, we accept most PPO plans, including Cigna, Aetna, Delta Dental, BCBS, United Healthcare, MetLife, DHA and Humana, and we verify your benefits for free. Cosmetic work is usually not covered, and we separate that out for you. For the rest there's financing through CareCredit, with 0% interest plans for qualified patients, subject to credit approval, and we explain each option before you sign anything.

Where are you, and when can I come in?

We have two offices. Miami: 8555 NE 2nd Ave, in El Portal next to Miami Shores, near I-95 and Biscayne. Fort Lauderdale: 1009 W State Rd 84, right where I-95 meets I-595. Same team and same lab for both, so pick the one closer to you. Miami is open Monday to Friday and Fort Lauderdale Tuesday to Thursday.

Does it hurt? I get nervous at the dentist.

A lot of people feel that way, and it helps to tell us. Treatment is done with local anesthesia, and we explain each step before we do it, at your pace. After an implant, most patients describe mild soreness for a day or two.

I need to think it over or talk to my family first.

That makes sense, especially for a bigger treatment. That's why the plan is in writing: you can take it home, show it to whoever helps you decide and look at it calmly. And if questions come up later, message us on WhatsApp and we'll answer them.

I have diabetes, or I was told I don't have enough bone. Can I still get implants?

Often, yes. Diabetes that's under control and bone loss don't rule you out on their own; they shape the plan. What decides it is the exam and the images of your bone. If bone has to be rebuilt first, we tell you at the evaluation and it goes in your written plan with its price. And if implants aren't the right fit for you, we'll tell you that too, along with the options that are.

I saw an ad that pays people to get implants. Is that you?

Good question to ask, because those ads are everywhere on social media. It isn't us. We're a private dental office, we're not part of any study or program, and nobody gets paid to come in. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, says it does not run clinical trials on dental implants and that ads claiming otherwise are likely fraudulent. Any real study is listed on ClinicalTrials.gov. What we do have is real: a free evaluation visit, your plan and price in writing, and financing for qualified patients so you don't have to pay everything at once.

It's cheaper in Mexico or back home. Why do it here?

Comparing is smart. Just compare the same thing: what each quote includes, how many trips you'll need, and who sees you if something needs adjusting once you're back home. Here, your crowns, veneers and implant teeth are made in our own lab, and adjustments and checkups happen close to home, in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Bring the other quote: at your evaluation you get yours in writing, so you can compare them item by item.

Can I see how it would look before we start?

Yes. In many cases a smile try-on is possible: you wear it on your own face, you see it, and you decide. Nothing irreversible happens until you say yes.
