Thank you for visiting the website of Aventura Dental Arts.
We want you to know that in our office you can expect to be treated with respect at all times. We strive to deliver the best diagnosis and treatment that dentistry has to offer. We believe that these goals can be met through a continuous and open dialogue between you and our entire team.
We encourage you to involve yourself in your own treatment and ask questions throughout our relationship. In our opinion, an informed and involved patient is most likely to achieve the highest level of healthcare, and we look forward to working with you to achieve this goal.

The security and privacy of your personal data is one of our primary concerns and we have taken every precaution to protect it.
Your First Visit
Your initial appointment will consist of a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, existing dental restorations and your bite. We will also examine and discuss any esthetic concerns you may have.
IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under the age of 18 at the initial visit.
X-rays
If you have recent x-rays from a previous dentist, you may request that they forward them to our office. If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them to our office. If additional films are necessary, they will be taken at our facility.
Please provide the following information at the time of your examination:
- X-rays (if applicable)
- A list of your current medications
- If you have medical or dental insurance, bring the necessary ID cards; this will save time and allow us to help
- Our Patient Registration Forms are available on this website if you would prefer to complete them prior to your arrival.
Please alert the office if you have any medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e., diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).

Insurance
We work with a variety of insurance carriers and want to help you receive the maximum reimbursement to which you are entitled. As a convenience to you, we will help you process your insurance claims in order for you to receive the maximum benefit. We will also gladly provide dental x-rays and a written diagnostic report should your insurance company have any questions about the services provided.
Infection Control
Infection controls and universal precautions protect clients and staff alike. Everyone benefits from rigorous infection control – you, your dentist, and your dental team. The cornerstone in a good and safe dental practice is the element of trust. You should feel free to discuss this topic with our team of dentists and receive a straightforward answer.
Our entire team follows procedures recommended by several federal agencies: The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). These measures include:
