Services
As a small business leader, you value maintaining a quality and happy team. Providing benefits to current and potential team members allows you more leverage in recruiting and securing excellent team members. Dental benefits are one of the most important benefits you can offer. The advantage membership premium can be covered in part or in full by you, as the employer, or simply be offered as a benefit to which team members can subscribe.
Carlos Piedra and his sisters grew up in a home full of laughter. He realized at a young age the value of a smile. While attending the University of Florida dental school, his passion and purpose collided. Since then, he has worked with wee ones to wise ones to repair and renew smiles. He believes life is too short not to love your smile.
From the moment you walk through our door, you will experience exceptional hospitality in a comfortable environment. As part of your comprehensive New Patient Exam, we will listen carefully as you share any special treatment preferences or smile goals you may have. Dental insurance is expensive, dictates care and is not available to everyone.
Unfortunately, death, taxes and teeth issues are some of life's certainties. Teeth break, pain comes out of seemingly nowhere and the Tooth Fairy doesn't leave a replacement tooth under our pillows. By giving you individual attention and listening to your needs and dental history, we'll put together a plan to help restore your smile to a healthy, happy state.
Dental implants offer a more permanent solution and superior functionality for missing teeth than bridges and dentures. Dental implants have a titanium base "root" and a porcelain crown matching the rest of your teeth. The root actually bonds with the natural bone, creating a secure connection that serves as the base for the crown.

Dr Piedra and his staff are incredible. My daughter is a client, and she recommended that I visit them for a second opinion for a dental procedure I needed. They were so quick to set me up with an appointment within 2 days, and they were nice enough to fit in my procedure just a week later. Dr Peidra and his staff are incredibly professional, helpful, and friendly. Everything was thoroughly explained to me, and the procedure could not have gone any smoother. Thank you all so much!

If you are searching for a new dentist, have fears/dental anxiety, or just want someone who actually cares- look no further! I cannot say enough how superb and amazing this office and staff have been to me. What started out as a dental emergency, has now transpired into what will be a forever dentist for me! For years I looked for a dentist that I trusted, had amazing bedside manner, and hygienists who just “get it”- I have now found that and am so thankful!

Besides the friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere, I appreciate the knowledge of Dr. Piedra and the dental hygienist Kristie. All questions are encouraged with the answers thoroughly explained and never rushed. I appreciate that they all make me feel valued as a patient. With any procedure, all details are given, and all questions are answered and as the procedure progresses, I am given an update periodically of what I can expect next, making me feel calm during the procedure. I have always had a good and pain free experience and I have been a patient of Dr. Piedra's for five years.

I highly recommend Piedra Dentistry. I’ve been a patient there for about 4 years or more and it’s always an enjoyable process. Professional services in a beautiful new office and TVs on the ceiling while you get your teeth cleaned or during procedures. I never feel like I’m getting unnecessary work either.

I always feel nervous when I go to the dentist office, but at Piedra my anxiety quickly dissipated. The dentist (whose name I cannot recall as a first time customer) was very patient and attentive, always providing me with what procedures were being performed and what to expect. It not only showed their professionalism but also showed that they really want people to be as comfortable and relaxed as possible. They have also been very transparent when it comes to the services that they were going to provide and the costs from the beginning. Overall very nice people and experience.

I can't speak highly enough of the people who work here. They are so good at what they do and make you wish you could stay to chat for longer. Everything is so clean and nice. It makes the dentist someone you look forward to seeing and I typically don't like dentists. I had a filling today and Dr. Piedra made me feel like I didn't have to worry a bit. I didn't and he was right. Excellent work.

It is always as pleasant an experience as possible to go to the dentist here. They never keep me waiting and take me at or before my appointment time. The treatment plan and cost is always presented in advance so there are no surprises at checkout. I love the staff and always feel well taken care of. Dr. Piedra takes great care of all my family. Update 4/12/19: Everything is still just as great.
