Since opening Deering Dental in 2015 with the help of her husband Peter, Dr. Pinto has been on a mission to change the way her patients think and feel about dentistry. “My goal has always been to create a practice where my guests receive the kind of service and level of care that I would want for my own family.”
Prior to accomplishing her dream of having her own practice, Dr. Pinto attended the University of Miami on a full academic scholarship where she graduated Cum Laude in just three years with a bachelor’s degree in biology and a minor in chemistry. Afterwards she went on to study dentistry at NYU Dental school also on academic scholarship. Being a Miami native and coming from a tight knit Cuban-American family, Dr. Pinto returned to her native city to begin practicing. Not satisfied with the standard of care she saw while working at several practices throughout Miami, Dr. Pinto set out to do something about it and opened Deering Dental to fulfill her vision of what dentistry should be.
Believing that, “if you’re not learning, you’re dying”, Dr. Pinto continues to hone her craft and strives to be at the forefront of dental medicine. This never ending search has led her to become one of the only Biomimetic dentists in Miami which she says is, “the future of dentistry and the only ethical option once you understand how much better it is for your patients.”
When she’s not transforming smiles or researching new dental techniques, Dr. Pinto enjoys spending most of her time with her husband Peter and four daughters Francesca, Giovanna, Valentina and Caterina She also loves trying out new restaurants, riding motorcycles with her husband, finding new adventures and Cuban Bread with cream cheese and coffee.
