General dentistry in Little Havana on NW 27th Ave Miami
Smyleee Rating
Very Good
Northwest 27th Avenue in Little Havana is a principal north-south artery in one of Miami's most culturally storied neighborhoods, the historic heart of the Cuban exile community since the early 1960s and still a center of Latin American cultural identity, music, food, and civic life. The 477 NW 27th Avenue address in ZIP 33125 places Dental Progress on the same corridor as Collazo Family Dental (285 NW 27th Avenue) a few blocks to the south — two neighborhood dental practices anchoring different points on this important Little Havana street.
Dental Progress provides general dentistry to patients in Little Havana and the surrounding western Miami neighborhoods. The practice name suggests an orientation toward improvement and forward momentum — a commitment to dental health progress over time, consistent with the continuity-based model that keeps patients on track rather than treating isolated problems in isolation from the larger health picture.
General dentistry covers the core of preventive and restorative care that every dental patient requires: professional cleanings that remove the calculus buildup that home brushing cannot address, diagnostic X-rays to catch problems before they are clinically visible, fillings for cavities at early stages, and crowns for teeth that have sustained more extensive structural damage. The ongoing examination relationship in general dentistry is the mechanism by which patients accumulate a dental health history that informs more accurate diagnosis and more targeted treatment planning over time.
In Little Havana, the practical realities of dental care for a working-class Latin American community mean that Spanish-language communication is frequently essential, pricing must be accessible to patients in service industries without employer dental benefits, and scheduling must accommodate the shift work and irregular hours that characterize much of the neighborhood's workforce.
The 477 NW 27th Avenue address is in a commercial zone along this major artery, with surface parking access and proximity to the transit routes that serve Little Havana's residents. For patients in the 33125 ZIP code and the surrounding neighborhoods of Little Havana, Overtown, and the SW 8th Street corridor, Dental Progress on NW 27th Avenue offers a locally rooted option for ongoing general dental care.
Dental Progress, 477 NW 27th Ave, Little Havana, Miami FL 33125 — general dentistry on NW 27th Ave; Collazo Family Dental is on the same corridor at 285 NW 27th Ave.

I had my extraction completed in December 2025. Dr. Garcia – 1 star If you are not originally assigned as her patient, she does less than the bare minimum. She was not accommodating, showed no sympathy, and was unwilling to review my chart or take the time to assist me simply because I was not her patient. Dr. Gonzalez – 3.5 stars Dr. Gonzalez completed my upper wisdom tooth extraction, including one decaying tooth. There were a few minor hiccups, but he was willing to address my concerns and offer solutions when possible. I did not feel pain… only pressure and some pinching from the tools against my lip. Ms. Lourdes – 5+ stars Ms. Lourdes is truly heaven-sent and deserves a raise. When I came in suffering, she was the only one willing to help me to the best of her ability. Everyone else present that day… including Dr. Garcia, simply stared at me as if I were crazy because Dr. Gonzalez was not there to assist. Ms. Lourdes showed genuine care and compassion when I needed it most. Giselle – 1 star Her customer service skills are extremely poor. She talks over patients, is aggressive, does not listen to concerns, raises her voice, and has a consistently bad attitude. Her behavior should be addressed rather than ignored or condoned. Another staff member – 1 star There is another staff member who often wears her hair up and clear glasses. She claims she only speaks Spanish, yet was able to relay my English concerns to another assistant in Spanish. She was rude during every visit and acted unprofessionally. When I was clearly in need of help, she chose to sit, stare, and call Giselle so my concerns could be discussed without addressing me directly. She also attempted to influence other coworkers to treat me poorly, despite me being in a vulnerable position. Overall, several staff members along with Dr. Garcia provided inaccurate information and were unwilling to do even the bare minimum to assist me. The lack of professionalism, empathy, and accountability made an already difficult experience far worse.
Beautiful and clean clinic. Dr. Garcia has amazing attention to detail. Her assistant as well. Was in and out. The wait was close to none. Will be going back.
I’m recommending dental progress the office is clean and The staffs are super friendly. I can express that I love the hygienist and she cleans my teeth so good and definitely painful less. Doctor García Explains very detail the treatment that is recommended & The Front desk were able to explain the insurance portion. Super recommended and Thank You Dental Progress
Today I had a really wonderful experience at Dental Progress. High recommended office. Thanks Angelo
Dental Progress made my braces journey smooth from start to finish. The team was professional, attentive, and always made sure I was comfortable at every visit. They explained each step clearly, and now with my retainers, I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend them for anyone considering orthodontic treatment!
