If you are looking for big money $100,000 to $150,000 full mouth Implants, Crowns or Veneers,…read moreDr.Yudah Ari Brenmergui is the dentist for you. He's a capable dentist with all the latest modern equipment to keep pain to a minimum. But if you require smaller, more modest dental services go elsewhere. From the 1950's to the 1990's, this office was occupied by 2 general dentists, but in their final years, their hands grew shaky, one of them passed away, and the one remaining dentist sold his practice to Dr.Benmergui, then passed away less than a year later. Those dentists were good men, but undoubtedy caused their patients some needless pain with their increasingly obsolete equipment.. I'm realistic: we all have to eat, we all like to make money and all doctors and dentists are in business, but Dr.Benmergiu is in BIG BUSINESS. This is one of several things that you may find off putting about Dr.Benmergui's office. They will tend to want to do a lot of additional uneccessary stuff, and some of their teeth cleaning ladies can be sadistic. Dr.Benmergui and the ladies who work for him are a combination of orthodox Jewbans and Cubans, and Anglo customers may find it rude that, even though they are all capable of speaking lightly accented English, that the doctor and his assistants will speak entirely in Spanish while working on you. It is, as if they are talking about you behind your back. I didn't take it personally, and at the end, I said "Even if you had spoken English, I still wouldn't understand what you are talking about"(it was all dentist jargon like A2 and B4) Note: I am not being anti-semetic. I am a secular 3rd generation American of 100% Jewish ethnicity, and I use the term "Jewban" genertically. The doctor is from Venezuela.) There is no doubt that his emphasis on mega buck dentistry was off-putting and cost the office many customers, and business dropped further during the first 2 years of the pandemic. Dr,Benmergui's office has become increasingly desperate. They've started sending junk e-mails to ex-customers. But now, they've crossed over the line to arrogance: they are scheduling appointments for ex-customers WITHOUT CUSTOMER PERMISSION. How dare they! I won't be there. As for Dr.Benmergui's emphasis on big money procedures, every customer can't be a lottery win. In the 1950's a famous bank robber was asked "Why do you rob banks?", and the robber said,"Because that's where the money is". Increasigly, for dentists, "Cosmetic Dentistry" is where the money is. There are no more general dentists; somebody that you could go to to repair one broken tooth. These cosmetic dentists will find the smallest excuse to do $30,000 to $40,000 of uneccessary additional stuff.

This place is terrible. I was quoted a price for a crown procedure by their manager and I agreed to…read moreit. They said that they spoke to my insurance and out of pocket would be a certain price. Claudia from the office told me that from the manager. It was started and they put in a temporary. But when the time came for a permanent crown procedure, actually the day before, they said that the insurance doesn't cover it and I need to pay the full amount. Either they are lying or incompetent. In either case now I'm in a bind. Beware of the place it's very unprofessional and don't honor their agreements. Because they already took the money it put me in a very bad spot and they said they accept an insurance company and when I switched they told me they don't Accept that insurance. They place is full of morons be careful!

Three years later, in June 2026, I decided to bring my whole family in for check-ups and cleanings. Just look at how the new doctor, someone I hadn't seen before, filled my 18-year-old daughter's teeth. My daughter received these X-rays at a different clinic after her treatment at Sedation Dentistry of Sunny Isles. We had to have all the work redone and pay for the treatment all over again. Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend the practice of Dr. Diane Alvarez-Rodriguez and Dr. Francisco Rodriguez. P.S. I haven't had my own new fillings checked yet. Sedation Dentistry of Sunny Isles didn't take new X-rays after the procedure.

I understand that Medicare has its set pricing and that is what they pay the dentists for service…read more I understand that dentists have to be creative in order to make more money that Medicare is not offering to pay. With that in mind, here is my story. I signed up to one Medicare insurance in order to take advantage of the money allowance they give on their benefit card. I lost my doctors and had to get new doctors, including dentist. But I got a good amount for food and things like utilities, uber, etc... This dentist was on the list. I called and made an appt for my 6 month teeth cleaning. Got there and first thing they did was take x-rays. Second thing they did was doctor came in and gave me an exam. Now normally, the dentist comes in AFTER the cleaning and does the exam. This dentist did the exam before the cleaning. After her exam, she told me that my mouth was unhealthy and my gums were inflamed and bleeding... SOMETHING THAT I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE! I was SHOCKED!!. How on earth did my mouth go from healthy to unhealthy in 6 months????? She refused to let the hygienist clean my teeth and told me i needed a complete mouth/gum scaling.. The insurance i had would not cover it and my out of pocket was ENORMOUS! I went home and thought about it. I get my teeth cleaned every 6 months. I have absolutely no gum problems or gum bleeding. I called around to other Medicare plans to see who had the best dental for me... I went back to my prior Medicare insurance, got my old dentist back and made an appt for a teeth cleaning and doctor consult. Today, I got my teeth cleaned, got x-rays and the dentist did an oral exam AFTER my teeth cleaning. I asked the dentist how my mouth was. How my gums were. Are my gums bleeding. She told me my mouth is healthy, my gums do not bleed and there is no inflammation. This was a bummer. This dentist chose the wrong person to try and take advantage of Medicare with. Don't lie to me. Don't tell me my mouth is unhealthy. It will come back and bite you in the derrière.

Very thorough. The hygienist was conscious of my tolerance for gagging and did an excellent job…read more Quick and efficient. No complaints.

I tried making an appointment with this Dentist Office as I saw the reviews were great, however I…read morethink these reviews or at least half are a sham. Prior to making the appointment, Jinelle - not sure if she's an assistant - advised me that I had to change my insurance primary doctor's name to this office so that I can have an appointment there. I followed her instructions, but it was going to take one month to apply (mind you, I needed this appointment sooner than later as I was paranoid about something with my teeth. Finally, one month later I asked Jinelle to help me schedule an appointment where she then told me that they do not take my insurance AT ALL. This came as a shock to me because I would think she would've done me the courtesy to let me know this ONE MONTH PRIOR, during our first initial contact. Supposedly it took affect this month, but I'm sure they knew beforehand this would be the case and were ever so CARELESS to say anything. Unfortunately, I've learned there's not a lot of courtesy or empathy with patients or potential ones from doctors or nurses these days. Which is unfortunate because it's the one main career path that should have it! But I guess all of you are the same, no matter how many good reviews you have. it's a true SHAME. Now, I have to wait another month to change my primary dentist to another dentist before I can finally check my teeth. Added two screenshots from my conversation with Jinelle to show you what lack of empathy is.... Also, let people make appointments via email... it's 2020 after all. (my insurance is METLIFE, in case you have it.. I'll spare you the time and inconsideracy) --- To the response below... it was only after I said I'd write a review on my experience with the office was when I finally got a considerate response to the initial cold/short responses I was getting seeing as they left me waiting an entire month to book an appointment only to let me know that all of a sudden they don't have my insurance and all the wait was for nothing. It was only after I said I was planning to write a review is when they seemed to care about the situation and offered to see me. I have really high values, I don't like giving bad reviews unless I honestly really think there's something wrong morally or there might be something a business can learn for future/potential clients. I did not have an in office visit, but I'm glad I didn't make this my dentist office seeing as how cold and unresponsive I was treated. My initial dentist that does not take my new insurance offered to see me either way without me even having to ask, seeing as how they knew I needed an appointment and they wanted to help as much as they can!! I didn't have to be assertive, I didn't have to ask, I didn't have to say anything about reviews.... they simply offered their services and tried to help me either way. I obviously wanted to find an alternative dentist that did take My insurance which is why I had to look elsewhere. But you should offer solutions to patients or be more caring when there is no solution - ESPECIALLY when they are following the instructions YOU initially gave them in the first place as per the writing above. Just a thought!
