SOMI Dental Group, Inc

As a patient I am concerned about my health. When a doctor tells me I need to do something; I do it and find a way to pay for it. This was the case with my dental experience of Safe Dental of South Miami. As I look back on being a patient there, I am now able to see a pattern of my dental health continuous getting since I joined this practice. The practice subtly and continuously “upsell” unnecessary dental services, taking advantage of trusting patients. Everything from “deep cleanings” to a tooth extraction (due to the fault of their dentist- SEE PHOTO) the dental charges kept mounting into the thousands of dollars. Regarding care, my dental health got worse with more visits. In my last experience at SDSM, the dentist placed a crown on a fractured tooth which they advised me that it would not make a difference. Two weeks later I returned to the practice with an infection which had caused my face to swell up. I needed to have the tooth pulled and have a root canal. The charges were in the thousands of dollars. I feel I need to speak out against this practice. Yes. I was totally informed of the charges. However, it never occurred to me to “shop” dentist. Now I know better.

Very bad experience I booked an appointment for me and my brother and it was confirmed by the clinic. They even called me two days before to confirm it. I drove a long distance to get there, only to find out that the clinic was closed. When I called them, they told me that my appointment was for tomorrow, not today, even though I have a confirmation email and it was also confirmed by phone. On top of that, they put me on hold instead of solving the issue. This is a complete waste of time and very unprofessional. If you don’t value your time, go to a place that is poorly managed. ❌ I will not be returning and do not recommend this place.

I've been coming here for a few years after a terrible experience at a dentist who was super shady. This office was the exact opposite. The most current denist is very personable, knowledge, and makes you feel safe and comfortable. The staff always goes above and beyond. Deidra is our hygienist and always does an amazing job. When I was pregnant, another hygienist did her best to not touch my tongue to make sure I didn't gag/throw up. The current dentist was filling my cavities and saw the chip in my front tooth and fixed it for free. I also love that they present your payment plan BEFORE service so you know exactly what you're expecting financially and can question or refuse any service. I highly recommend this dentist office.

I went to SOMI Dental today having just moved from NYC this week and I had a cleaning only months ago. It turns out my previous dentist really did me wrong. I was totally impressed by SOMI Dental. Their technology and care found issues that my old dentist missed. Dr Lopez took his time- compared to NYC a lifetime looking at the xrays and explaining why he suggested each course of treatment was necessary. They then fit me in this very days schedule for each treatment and did each procedure again with complete care and with the best newest tech. I am completely satisfied as they even have a dedicated staff member who works to max out your insurance. They are bilingual and are native in each language cracking jokes in both English and Spanish. A fun time at the dentist was not what I expected. They gave me the cleanest mouth I have ever had and I never was in pain as they consistently checked in with me throughout my appointment. 10/10

Upon walking in to the office they are very welcoming and my first impression is the office is very clean and beautifully decorated. My husband is the one being serviced and they have treated him very kindly upon his first visit. Will return!
