Gallardo & Lamas Periodontics and Implant Dentistry

Without a doubt this practice is the best in Miami. I visited their location to have a consultation and was blown away by the level of professionalism and expertise provided by the doctors and staff. Their equipment is state-​of-​the-​art and they are very innovative. Something as simple as a cleaning is just a different experience when done at this practice. Love love love them!!!

This could be the best service in Miami or at least a head above everyone else. The staff is very professional, courteous, responsive, AND speak English. If you are a non-​Latin American transplant like me, you will know what I mean. Decent service is hard to find in Miami, and if you do, you pinch yourself and write Unilocal reviews.

Dr. Gallardo and staff are amazing. The level of professionalism and customer service are five stars anyway you look at it.
You are greeted by their friendly staff. They take the time to show you their facility and explain their state of the art equipment. Dr. Gallardo is very thorough and professional. Congratulations!

I went to Dr. Gallardo & Lamas a few years ago for a dental implant. I extensively researched several offices and this was by far the obvious choice. There is no question that they are the best at what they do in Miami. The investment I made regarding my implant with Dr. Gallardo & Lamas was worth every penny. The implant placement procedure was painless and my tooth looks amazing. I am currently in need of another implant and would not consider going to any other office except Dr. Gallardo & Lamas.

While I have had a good relationship with Dr. Lamas over the past decade or so, I have decided to move on. A recent office visit triggered a slight panic on my part, and while I subjected myself to the judgement of the technician; I should have known better. I went in for my scheduled cleaning and things became quite exciting. Long story short, a sample taken from my mouth showed a flurry of bacteria. It was displayed upon a flat screen TV via a 10,000 magnified microscope, and it was a hot mess! Bacteria afoot, and pervasive panic filled the room. I was told I had a «strong positive,» (whatever that means) for gingivitis. What was needed was a DNA test that identified a potential type of antibiotics as prescribed by Dr. Lamas, who coincidentally want not there to see for himself. Apparently, this DNA test was the fist part of the proposed course of action that entailed deep cleaning, rinses, multiple visits, anesthesia, X-​rays etc etc. Sadly, I was told this DNA test was not covered by my dental insurance, which resulted in $ 200.00 paid out of pocket. However, aside from my out of pocket DNA test cost, the remaining course of action/​treatment was about 1000.00 total, and I was told that my insurance would cover about 90 percent of it. Wrong! Silly me, I paid the 200.00 for the DNA result, and was morosely told a few days later, that my insurance wasn’t going to cover it, and I would have to pay an additional 650 – 700 dollars. …So, I go to get my teeth cleaned, get a microscopic assessment of the «hot mess» inside my mouth, pay 200.00 for a DNA test, and leave without my teeth cleaned, and without a soda they offered me. (free soda at a dental office that specializes in preventive oral/​health care… seems like an oxymoron) I decided to seek a second opinion at a different dentist/​hygienist. Fitting as it would be, the dentist check up went well, no problems, very healthy gums, teeth, no signs gingivitis or peritonitis. I showed the dentist the my DNA spread sheet results from the Lama office, complete with bacterial levels, of which were normal with the exception of one. (Not really a hot mess after all.) He smiled, and with mirror in my hand, examined my teeth and gums. He pointed to the healthy condition of my mouth, and told me, «My equipment is paid for, long ago…» … The Hygienist says use ACT fluoride rinse at night, and I happily left with my teeth cleaned. No DNA test required. Dr. Lamas is an accomplished medical professional, and it should be noted his office specializes in peridontics and implant dentistry, not general density. He did an implant on me, and all is very well and I am very happy. Before you go there for your routine cleaning etc, I would suggest, brushing your teeth, rinse with Listerine, and brace yourself when they show you the bacteria show. Surely, it will be a hot mess.

I am not one to leave remarks or reviews. However. I cannot express enough the GREAT overall experience I had with Dr. Lamas’ office. From my initial telephone contact, first consultation, actual procedure, and follow-​up appointment, it’s been nothing but a smooth process where they truly have gone way and beyond their call of duty to ensure patient satisfaction. I highly recommend this office due to their state of the art facility, kind staff and great practice!
