Dr. Yenile Pinto

Dr. Yenile Pinto

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.

I live about an hour away and my mom made me an appointment here so I had to come; you know how moms are. Truthfully I was going to change to a closer one after today. But WOW, I am impressed at the level of attention, technology, comfort from the whole staff. From the front desk ladies, to Angie who took wonderful care of me, to Dr. Pinto. A solid 5 stars was earned.

I highly recommend Deering Dental not only for dental services, but, for the outstanding customer service. I have been a patient at Deering Dental for a few months and I have no intention of seeking any other dental practice for services. Dr. Pinto and the staff are extremely friendly, attentive, professional and knowledgeable. This can only be described as specialisation at its’ best. If you are an individual that experience anxiety when thinking about the dentist, I encourage you to visit Deering Dental; you are in good hands. Especially with professionals, such as, Angie.

The service here is exceptional. Everyone that you speak to is kind and professional. Everyone here goes the extra step to making you feel comfortable and easy at the dentist. I had the pleasure of getting my teeth cleaned by Angie. Angie loves what she does. You know this by how good she is at what she does. You know this by how she explains things to you. Usually, you feel like a number in these places. Not here. I am happy to have found a great dental office with top of the line equipment but most importantly, the staff.

PAINLESS !!! Dr. Pinto has an amazing set of hands !!! The office technology is the latest & greatest . After having Bree the tooth scanning and x-ray tech perform her work , followed by Aimee the hygienist who did and excellent job with my 1st cleaning , Oh another set of great soft hand both techs (painless) . We were then able to review with the Dr. Pinto , so clearly exactly any current and or on the rise issues .So at this point , I know this sounds crazy but I'm having all of my fillings replaced with her new technology called Biomimetic (CLEARLY NOTHING TO BE SCARED OF ) , The process is guaranteed for 10 years . Also very important she is an owner / operator and with the scanning technology that they provide it makes your decisions to correct any issues very easy. HIGH RECOMMENDED !!! Oh and the headsets with Music or Movies is a Bonus , And I must say there dental tools are the quietest I've ever heard .

Outstanding service! Ms Angie, the hygienist, is very professional and made me feel very comfortable during the cleaning procedure. She went above and beyond to explain to me everything that was happening in my mouth, using the latest technology. Doctor Pinto came to the room and made a care plan with me , responding all my questions!! I HIGHLY recommend this place !!

Very friendly staff, and Dr. Pinto is an amazing Dentist. I did not feel a thing, great service all around.07/11/23. UpdateI like to update establishments I’ve tried and give updates. Deering Dental has still got a friendly and very polite staff. Dr. Pinto is an amazing Dentist who is the best at what she does. I’ve had a tooth extraction done, fillings, and this office could have told me I needed a root canal, but felt they could save my tooth with there honest and amazing skills in bringing my teeth back to good health. Best choice I have made yet while living here in Miami. I tip my hat to Deering Dental.

Highly recommend Deering Dental! The staff is so kind and helpful. The cleaning itself is so gentle compared to other places. Most of all, I enjoyed the details that make this practice stand out: neck pillow, blanket, steamed towel, choice of coffee, sparkling or bottled water, plus a gift card for new patients! Aimee, my dental hygienist was wonderful!

I’ve been coming to Deering Dental for a couple years, was recommended by a co-worker. I absolutely love them. They are always friendly, on time, provide great service. They’re never trying to upsell anything unnecessary. I had Aimee as my hygienist for the first time. She was so sweet and gentle. She gave me good tips for my future care. Looking forward to going back in 6 mths.

New patient experience was exceptional! State-of-the art equipment and technology. Professional and friendly staff. I was surprisingly handed a personalized dental hygiene “goodie bag” and a handwritten Thank You card on the way out. I felt comfortable and even pampered! Thank you, Breanna, Angie, and Dr. Pinto for your excellent care and attention to detail!

One of the best dental office in South Florida. The staff is very professional. I came in on 4/13/23 to have my permanent retainers removed. I was serviced by Briana, as well as, Dr.Pinto. I refuse to go anywhere else. 5 stars across the boards.

My visit to Deering Dental this week came around so quickly as my first visit 6 months ago seemed like it was only yesterday! This visit, instead of getting X-rayed, numbed and drilled on, I had the pleasure of watching T.V. and having my teeth cleaned by the friendliest hygienist that I have met in many years. Angie, formerly practiced.dentistry in Venezuela before taking on her role at Deering Dental as a hygienist. She is articulate, smart and engaging. I had a very good experience and I believe you would also! Saludos, Steve

I have been coming to this dental office for over 2 years and I cannot recommend them enough. Before coming to this dental office, I had several bad experiences which kept me away from ever stepping into another dental office. Everyone at this office is super sweet, accommodating, and very professional. My appointments are usually on time and I never have to wait for long periods of time to be seen. Dr. Pinto is very trustworthy and she has always made me feel comfortable when voicing any concerns.

I have found my forever dentist office! This place is amazing from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. My first thought when I walked into the office was- is this a dentist office or a spa?! Wow! Everyone is so welcoming and attentive from the front desk to the hygienist to the dentist. I can’t wait to go back! Thank you Deering Dental for making me excited to go to the Dentist.

I'm newer to Deering Dental but have been extremely impressed with the practice so far. All personnel are very friendly & knowledgeable and go out of their way to make sure you have a comfortable experience. The technology they use is much more advanced than any other practice I've been to. While that's clearly nice on the surface, the real benefit, in my view, is that it allows me to be far more involved as a patient. 3D images of my own teeth were shown to me and problem areas clearly identified. Seeing the issues first-hand allowed me to ask better questions and understand the treatment plan being laid out for me. Dr. Pinto is excellent at communicating before, during and after procedures so you know exactly what to expect. Patient comfort is clearly a top priority at every step. Overall, this has been the easiest and best dental office I've dealt with, and the results are excellent too. I'm happy to be a new client, and I highly recommend others check them out.

As someone who usually fears the dentist, I can genuinely say the team at Deering Dental is one of the kindest and most compassionate groups of people I have ever come across. They take the time to walk you through everything that goes on, before and as it is happening. They take into consideration your anxieties and worries, and work with you so you constantly feel understood and validated. Most of your dental needs can be handled right there in their office, and each procedure is explained thoroughly and you are shown prices up front instead of being told one thing and charged another. And the entire staff from reception, the assistants, hygienists, all the way up to Dr. Pinto is absolutely wonderful.

I am very picky with my dental providers and I LOVED this office. I was seen by Dr. Pinto and her staff in Dec 2022. They very generously worked with my busy schedule to get me in the office before year end. I loved the whole experience, especially that I felt that all my questions and concerns were addressed. Dr. Pinto and her staff were all very knowledgeable, professional and caring. I referred my mom and sister to her and would recommend the office to everyone.

Dr. Pinto and her staff offer the highest quality care and have taken every safety measure possible to ensure a healthy, comfortable experience. They took the time to explain all the added precautions at the office to address any safety concerns and to establish an environment of care and concern for their patients. My appointment went by very quickly as I sat back and relaxed while watching Netflix on their top notch (and sterile) entertainment equipment. You’ll leave Deering Dental wondering why you procrastinated that dentist appointment for so long!

I have been coming to this dental clinic for multiple years after having negative experiences with many other dentists. I can personally say with confidence that Deering Dental is the overall best dental clinic that I have ever visited. The front desk is always attentive, accommodating, and organized. The professionals that do the cleanings and polishing are excellent. I usually can’t lay there calmly while getting a cleaning but here they are so gentle and careful that you are able to trust in them and fully relax. It also helps that they have a tv & headphones for you to enjoy entertainment during the process.Lastly, Dr. Pinto and the other doctors at this clinic are EXCEPTIONAL. They always take the time to speak with you and answer any questions about treatments, results, etc. and I have NEVER once been upsold at this office or had any procedures pushed on me. All the doctors have always expressed their recommendations and analysis and will have an open conversation with you on any medical or financial concerns.The office is always clean and welcoming. The staff is always nice and friendly. The medical professionals provide excellent care. They also have their own in-office insurance that offers free cleanings & discounts on other procedures.All of the reasons above are why I continue to make the lengthy drive to Deering Dental for my dental work year after year. Thank you all!

The people here are seriously so incredible. I’m someone who has major anxiety when it comes to the dentist, and they really take that into account and do all they can to try to make it a better experience, I’ve never not left the dentist not on the verge of a panic attack before coming here. They offer different things to help distract you during your time like headphones, tv, etc. The best part for me was when they were giving me a shot to numb my mouth, and used something to distract me so I didn’t even feel it. Everyone here is seriously so kind and I really recommend coming here, especially if the dentist freaks you out

Today was my first visit. To be clear and honest, I hate the dentist. I’ve never had a great experience at any dentist except Deering Dental; from the front desk to my hygienist to Dr. Pinto herself, were beyond amazing. I have a lot of work that needs to be done and we came up with a plan that best fits me! I chose Deering Dental because of the reviews, once you actually make an appointment and visit the office, then you will see what we all are saying! Literally the BEST!

The best dentist office I’ve ever visited and I’ve been to many good ones. I came here due to relocation and it’s honestly the best decision I ever made. I would travel far and wide to come back. The customer service is stupendous and the actual cleaning was the best one I have had. You even have entertainment provided like music or Netflix during your stay. Also they really value your time. They are strict with appointments which helps in not wasting time waiting around. I used to loath dentists, now I absolutely love them. I can’t wait to come back to my next visit!

Thank you dr. Hernandez and his team, before schedule the wisdom teeth removal appointment, I was just very nervous about it, I asked for many people’s opinion about it, I couldn’t make up my mind to do it. But thanks to the Deering dental team, the dentist was so careful and I didn’t feel any pain when he did the surgery. The harder part is the lower wisdom teeth, I’m glad he removed them successfully. Today is the 2nd day, I’m in recovery.

Deering Dental could be one of the best dentist that I have ever gone to in my life. All the others would make you wait for hours just to clean my teeth. They would also offer some coffee or water to make you comfortable, no other dentist would do that. There are super nice people there as well. I highly recommend this Deering Dental for those who have had bad experiences with other dentists. Deering Dental is the way to go.
