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.
Dr. Robert Kaufman
An experienced periodontist, Dr. Robert H. Kaufman grew up in South Florida yet left the Sunshine State to attend Emory University for his undergraduate studies where he received an academic scholarship and was invited to join the prestigious honor society, Phi Beta Kappa. Trading in the Eagles for the Gators, he graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science in microbiology, graduated Summa Cum Laude and was inducted in the University of Florida chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.
Dr. Kaufman then entered the University of Florida College of Dentistry where he graduated first in his class and was awarded entry into the national Dental Honor Society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon.
Following dental school, Dr. Kaufman relocated to Miami and completed a 2 year hospital-based General Practice Residency and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Internship at the prestigious Jackson Memorial Hospital. He then returned to the University of Florida College of Dentistry and Shands Teaching Hospital, where he completed his Periodontal Surgical Residency.

I've been coming here since they opened and it's always a great experience. The office is clean, equipment is modern, and the staff is excellent at scheduling, reminding you of your appointment, and seeing you promptly at your appointment time. The entire team is professional and caring. I highly recommend Deering Dental!

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!
Julissa W.
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.
Mesha B.
Aimee & Bree were wonderful & efficient with my dental check-up today. And it’s always nice catching up with Dr. Pinto. Always a great experience and great staff. Thank you Lance!😀

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 enjoy going to Deering Dental. They always make you feel like your their only priority. Love the amenities menu. Dr. Pino and Deering Dental are a class act.
Anthony S.
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.
Chrissy S.
The staff at Deering Dental is always friendly, helpful and professional. My appointment today was great, as usual. I also love that they don’t make patients wait.

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.
Tim H.
Friendly, very efficient and thorough. I highly recommend Deering Dental. State of the art equipment and a comprehensive exam. Quality care by Dr. Pinto and my hygienist Aimee.
Jeanne B.
Very amazing Dentist! Staff was super polite and friendly. I love how to they inform the patient about what they do and what is going on with their dental care.
Vlec B
Very friendly and unique place. They offer you refreshments and while you get your dental work done you can watch tv or listen to music. Would definitely recommend going to them. :)
Lia O.
Deering dental is a great place to go take care of your teeth. The office is clean, all staff members are courteous, professional & very welcoming. One of the best dental care I have ever experienced!
Melanie S.
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.
khammie B.
This is the MOST amazing dental staff I’ve ever met! Since you arrive they make you feel at home. They take the time to explain everything and put you at ease. It’s the only dentist office I actually look forward to my next appointment! Ele was wonderful and thorough with my cleaning.
Lucelena A.
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.
Laura E.
Deering Dental is an amazing dental office. The staff is so accommodating and friendly. They offer blankets, headphones to watch tv, and other things to make your visit more comfortable. I would highly recommend for anyone in the area to go here. 10/10 experience 😊
Sofia R.
This was my first time, it doesnt even feel like a dental office everything is so beautiful, clean and professional it takes the fear away of going to the dentist
maria R.
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!
Natalie P.
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!
Paul S.
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
Isla T.
Always a great experience. The staff is warm and friendly from the second you open the door. And Dr. Pinto is great. She takes her time talking to you and explaining everything.
Victor W.
I have been going to Deering Dental for almost 4 years now and absolutely love them. Everyone there is nice and professional and make every dental process painless. I wouldn’t even consider changing dentists! I highly recommend Dr. Pinto and her entire team!
Natalia V.
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!
Jo
Definitivamente es mi mejor experiencia en un consultorio odontologico, me trataron muy bien, me sentí muy cómoda, todos fueron muy amables y el servicio profesional muy recomendable, tienen equipos con mucha tecnología que aporta gran valor a la experiencia y te hace sentir aún más seguro de los tratamientos que recibes. 😃
Merly L.
Very welcoming and professional environment. Catering to the client is important to them and well appreciated. Thank you Aimee and all the staff. The dentist also was great.
Andy G.
I have been a patient at Deering Dental for several years now and the team there is always very courteous, professional and on time! Keep up the great work DD!
Manuel P.
I love how prompt they are. I literally had just sat down in the waiting room when they called my name. Great service by Ele today and real clear explanations given on your needed treatment. Dr. Pinto’s staff really shines. I wish all my medical visits were this pleasant.
Jose C.
Deering dental is the best!I'll admit I hate going to the dentist because of past experiences at other dentist but at deering dental they always make me feel comfortable and don't push unnecessary procedures. I had a cleaning today with Ele, she was awesome, very professional and gentle on my sensitive teeth.
Jackie G
The service and staff is incredible, they make you feel so comfortable! For me this isn’t just any dental experience , they really make me feel like I’m at a spa-like appointment because of the relaxing environment they provide. Deering Dental is unmatchable!
Melissa P.
I definitely recommend going to Deering dental, the service was excellent and everyone was welcoming, furthermore, to me ,the environment was very relaxing. If you’re focusing on your dental health and have concerns go to Deering dental, nice place nice people, you cannot go wrong. Aimee and Erys were very helpful and informative, my review won’t do justice. Check them out!!!
Manuel M.
Just left my first cleaning and consultation and wow! Had an amazing experience, great location, staff is super well trained and so sweet! I will be coming here for a long long time thanks for making my experience so pleasant deering Dental! ☺️
Lauren E.
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!
Marcos
Very professional environment. Top of the line technology and all the employees assisting patients are very knowledgeable in the field, especially Dr. Pinto. It was an extremely pleasant experience that I would recommend to anyone.
Matt F.
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.
Nan P.
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.
irina G.
I absolutely love it here. I came across this place in Yelp and am so glad I did. The office is clean and beautiful. The staff is amazing!! Everyone’s so nice and they actually explain what they are doing, what they are going to do and explain what do expect. Coming from someone who doesn’t typically care for dentist I actually enjoy coming here. My husband comes and so does my son. He loves the amenities, they hand you menu once your checks sin where you can get water, Nespresso and even eat plugs, blanket AND a neck pillow. Highly recommend this office.
Katryna Y.
The staff was very welcoming. Dr Fernandez was very professional, took the time to explain everything to me and answer all my questions. Will definitely go back. An overall wonderful experience.
Lourdes A.
10/10 the staff is unlike anywhere I’ve been so sweet and amazing. They are efficient & cater to all your needs. Love this place I’ll never go anywhere else!!! :)
shayna A.
I was recommended by a friend. I would highly recommend Deering dental. Very conscientious staff and always a smile on their face. State of the art equipment. I felt very confident with the level of care I was receiving from the technician , dental hygienist and the dentist. Great experience for being at the dentist.
Jay B
Today I was taking care by Dr. Hernandez. Excellent experience.I have a severe toothache.My tooth has already woken up from anesthesia and I haven't felt any pain. Dr. Hernandez did everything necessary to save my tooth and he did it.As usual my experience at Deering Dental has been outstanding. Highly recommended.
Maria Eugenia M.
Dr. Pinto is thorough, informative, and straight forward - I love this about her. In addition during the my most recent two visits, Aimee has performed the cleanings - she is nothing but amazing. I feel extremely comfortable and no longer fear going to the dentist. Thank you for always taking great care of me since December 2016.
Gladys R.
Location was exquisite. Staff greeted me so well. Professional atmosphere and excellent customer service. I look forward to keeping my relationship with Deering Dental. Treated my son amazingly for accompanying me. Trista is amazing as well as the rest of the staff. 100% satisfied
jennifer S.
Attention to detail is over the top. The staff is genuinely caring and made sure that I understood the process and my best options. 3 procedures in and no pain what so ever. After 20 years of dentist phobia, the professionals here all are heaven sent.
Noel S.
This was my first visit with the dental hygienist, Aimee. I was nervous and it was needless as she was very kind and gentle! Also the girls at the front desk are very friendly and helpful. This has been a great experience - so glad I gave Deering Dental a try!
Janet F.
Always such a great experience. Front staff is friendly , the hygienist is amazing and so are the doctors. Appointment is always on time. The whole office runs very smooth and very organized. Highly recommend. A+++++
Antoinette R.
I live a bit far from here and can easily stop at about a dozen places in between, but keep going back because they know you on a first name basis, the place is always spotless, they never make you wait past appointment time (3 pm to them means 3 pm), they have refunded money when insurance has overpaid (NO ONE) does that unless you spend hours of detective work and calls. Oh, and on top of all that they are actually good at dentistry.
Peter G.
As always great expierence Dr Pinto and all the staff were helpful and professional and Dr. Pinto delicate and gentle when preforming my cavity I felt no pain...office personnel was efficientt and very nice...love it there
Dolly M.
Deering Dental is the only place I can trust with all my dental needs. Doctors and staff are super patient, kind and knowledgeable. And the doctors give honest feedback on what I need to do and never overcharge. I can usually get a same-day check-up with an emergency request. Amiable and welcoming atmosphere. I feel very taken care of when doing dental work. I cannot ask for a better experience!!
Yaru J.
Great experience through and through. I came in as an emergency and was welcomed that same day! First class care and attention by everyone.I hadn’t been to the dentist in years after a bad experience and have found a terrific practice.They use state of the art equipment and have a cutting edge approach to dentistry that focuses on keeping as much of your original teeth as possible (should you be in such a predicament —the cleaning itself was through yet done with care—so yes even your routine dental cleanings will be pleasant!)You’ll be hard pressed to find more knowledgeable, attentive, and delicate staff and dentists. Highly recommended!!!
Alex G.
This place is amazing. So beautiful. Attention to detail! Can watch TV or listen to music while they work on you (personal TV with earbuds). State of the art dental equipment and Dr. Pinto is absolutely amazing! I can't imagine going anywhere else ever again! So many stars!I accidentally updated this review today (was trying to post a new review still with 5 stars)...a year ago I had posted what great COVID protocols they have and that I felt so safe in their care!
Theresa W.
My son Jason has been going to this dentist office since we move here in 2016. Since he and I visited it's been an remarkable experience all of the staff are friendly, and helpful, as well as the owners who from time to time would come out and spend time talking in the waiting area. Just a lovely beautiful and great place to visit all the time.ThanksPatrickJason
P. S.
Very clean practice, the staff is very nice and cooperative. The dentist and the assistance wear new gloves each time they come in to see you. The chair is very clean, the area where you rest your head is covered with new plastic and so is the light handle for each patient. In my case the the male assistant was a sweetheart. The only complaint I have is about the anesthesia injection, it hurt a little too much, but my tooth was in critical condition. I got a root canal and they saved my tooth. Otherwise everyone there was wonderful.
Berta P.
I had a great experience.Dr.Hernandes super Nice and very honest.His assistant was very nice to.I liked it this place.Thank you everyone.👍
Cristina F.
When talent, professionalism and courtesy come together the experience is delightful. Not surprised because I knew that this is the favorite dentist for many. Eddie’s way of communicating is effective. Needless to say that he is gentle and understanding through the whole procedure. Great experience 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
