I could not be happier with the quality of care and service my kids received from the staff and doctor at Petite Smile in Coral Gables. The place is petite but the service is outstanding. The place is clean, organized, the staff is very professional and friendly but most of all they are very patient, caring, and pedagogic with their approach to teeth care when kids are anxious or afraid of the procedures. My 9 year old has been in two previous dentist who unsuccessfully tried to work on her cavities. At petite smile they took us as an urgent service to address how advanced my daughter’s cavity has become. They successfully extract two teeth that became compromised and took x rays.

Most importantly they completely erased the bad memories from previous experiences. Now she says she wants to become a dentist when she grows up. Totally recommend this service for kids. Limited in street pay by phone parking. Two blocks away from Sunset mall.

Service was amazing! This was the first time my daughter went to a dentist visit, we were worried about how she was going to react, but everything was great! The doctor and the assistants are great and made her feel very comfortable. The office is also great and perfect for kids.

Dr. Vanessa is hands down the best Pediatric dentist ever! From the moment you step into her office, the experience is nothing short of amazing. She provides exceptional care and service, ensuring both children and parents feel comfortable and well-informed. Her gentle approach and ability to connect with kids make every visit stress-free and even enjoyable.

The staff is friendly and professional, and the overall environment is warm and welcoming. If you’re looking for top-notch dental care for your child, Dr. Vanessa is the one to trust!

We had a very disappointing experience with Petit Smiles. They recommended drilling four of our son’s teeth when he was just 14 months old. Thankfully, we got a second opinion before proceeding. The new dentist didn’t drill at all — instead, they guided us through a proper dental hygiene routine, and in just a few months, our son’s teeth are perfectly healthy.

We strongly recommend getting a second opinion if this office suggests drilling your baby’s teeth. It felt rushed, extreme, and unnecessary.
