Midtown Dental Miami

LOVE this place. The doctor was very professional and did an amazing job on a root canal and cavity fill. Best part is they’re open on Saturdays! You get what you pay for and i can tell you it’s worth the service. And the office is really nice and very clean. Glad I went here.

It’s hard to rate a dentist since normally people aren’t too happy with anything that could happen at a dentist office. I have gone to a few different dentists in the last couple of years and I think I finally found a dentist I really like.
Dr Nelson is very friendly and attentive. He keeps you entertained and distracted even through my first tooth extraction. The hygienists are also good. I have had two cleanings this year and both times I walked out very happy. I can easy recommend this place for anyone on the hunt for a new dentist.

I have a real fear of dentists because of past painfully traumatic experiences. However, Dr. Nelson is a cut above the rest. I never felt the needle and needed fewer injections with him. He knows what he’s doing and has a nice professional manner. I can’t believe that I’m saying this but I actually don’t mind going to the dentist. Well, going to Dr. Nelson that is!

On my second visit to Midtown Dental yesterday, I had two teeth extracted. I’m a tremendous baby and have had some traumatizing dentist-​related experiences in the past, so I was terrified at the prospect, but Dr. Nelson and his assistant explained the process to me, answered all my questions, and made sure I was comfortable, even letting my boyfriend stay in the room while they worked so I wouldn’t have a complete breakdown.
The extraction itself lasted less than five minutes – I was astounded! I felt absolutely no pain or discomfort. Such a relief. I was sent home happy and with detailed post-​op instructions. Most incredibly, there’s been zero pain since (!!!), and no swelling. Getting dental work done is no picnic, but as far as that goes, it was a wonderful experience.
Bonus: spotless, modern facilities; kind, courteous, accommodating, professional doctor and staff.

I had to have some dental work last year and Dr. Nelson gave me an inlay and filled some cavities. Fast forward a year and the inlay ended up cracking and falling out. Went to another dentist to have it corrected and was told that they had never heard of that procedure being done outside of dental school (2 separate dentists said this) In addition, two fillings I had completed at Midtown Dental also had broke within a year. Dr. Nelson was very friendly and personable but I dont feel that the work was done well and the inlay has since had to be replaced with a crown.

I went to Midtown Dental after finding this office through my insurance. I had been seeing a dentist every six months, and was a dental assistant for 10 years, so I was shocked when Dr Nelson gave me a treatment plan totaling $ 9000. Although I have had a lot of restorative work done in the past and knew I needed an implant, it didn’t seem right to me that my other dentist missed all that other treatment that Dr Nelson recommended. So I didn’t just get a second opinion, I went to 3 other dentists. ALL of the other dentists disagreed with Dr Nelsons treatment plan. They all agreed that while they could go in and redo all of my previous work, it wasn’t necessary treatment, and I only had one small cavity.
I am not doubting whether or not Dr. Nelson knows how to do the treatment, he may be very skilled … However, do you really need all of the treatment? If you notice the other people who have left reviews on this site all had a significant amount of work done, I am curious how much of the work another dentist might have recommended. My advice is, get a second opinion! Even a third opinion, you will see what I mean… if you want to have a filling or crown on every tooth and spend thousands of dollars unnecessarily, then go to Dr Nelson.
ALSO, his hygienist is horrible. I seriously doubt she has a dental hygienist license. After being a dental assistant for 10 years I know what I am taking about. That woman does not know how to clean teeth, she may be nice, but unfortunately, it seems to me that she does not even know how to use the Cavitron, or the prophy cup, which are the basics of a dental hygiene cleaning. After I left, I paid $ 100 to get my teeth cleaned again, and there was calculus and build up on my teeth, as if they had never been cleaned.
I am not in the business of leaving reviews, much less bad reviews, but I felt obligated after my experience. Please, get a second opinion!

Great experience. staff is friendly and Dr. Nelson is awesome. I usually don’t write reviews but I had to share my experience. Clean office, no waiting, and very professional. Definitely check him out if you are looking for a dentist.

Wow. So great. Everyone was really friendly and Dr Nelson really took the time to explain everything. I have always thought dentists are a bunch of shysters who try to sell you on expensive things you don’t need. Not here. They let you know prices up front and they are honest and caring. I wish I had found him a year ago! You will not find a better dentist anywhere.

Dr. Nelson and his team are the BEST!
After ten years of not seeing a dentist, I finally (apprehensively) made my first appointment. Living in South Beach, I wanted to find the closest dentist possible– but I am extremely picky. I looked at EVERY review (from Unilocal and beyond) for EVERY dentist all over the beach and also up and down the Biscayne area, and was terrified of some of what I read– until I found Midtown Dental.
— OFFICE. Modern, clean, and well organized. I read that a lot of offices were lacking in equipment and looked grungy. Everything inside Midtown Dental is nice and looks new. And from the moment you walk in, you are taken care of, the girls up front are really quick (and kind). I have never waited to be seen for my appointment, and the team always makes sure I am on my way as quickly as possible.
— COST. After my first evaluation, Dr. Nelson came and showed me the problem areas on my x-​rays. He answered all of my questions, and came back with a detailed breakdown of my treatment plan. I know exactly what is happening on each visit, and exactly how much it will cost. Given that I needed a lot of work, the staff helped me with payment options right away.
— SERVICES. I went in thinking I had two cavities and needed my wisdom teeth pulled… but given how long it had been since I’d seen a dentist, I had many more cavities and needed to explore other options for the two cavities that had gotten out of control. Dr. Nelson has done a great job of walking me through the steps. He works quickly, but is very good, and makes sure that his patients are never in discomfort. Also, if I finished an appointment quickly and the office could fit me in to have more work done, they would! They are really flexible.
–GENERAL ATTITUDE. Midtown Dental has taken the «scary» out of dentist visits! Dr. Nelson has worked with me patiently, along with the girls who make his team so great. They really make you feel good, and always comfortable.
My teeth are the best they have been since I was a kid– maybe even better! I love my new smile. You’ll be in the best hands at this office, so look no more!

I had a great experience at Midtown Dental. Dr Nelson does a great job at explaining what dental work needs to be done and gives enough information for the patient to make an informed decision. His assessment was thorough and he explained everything well. The facility is beautiful and the technology used seems more sophisticated than other offices I’ve been to in the past. I’ve already recommended it to others and will continuing going myself.

Best dentist ever! I needed fillings and I got it all taken care of at my first visit. Extremely timely, professional, clean and state-​of-​the-​art service. I just found my new permanent dentist! Very impressed with the experience of my visit!

I really liked my dentist when I lived in Orlando, so I was really nervous when I moved to Miami that I wouldn’t find a good dentist. Today I visited Midtown Dentist and was very happy with the service I received. First of all, they open at 8am which is awesome if you want to go to work afterwards and not miss half a day. Next, the staff at Midtown Dental were all very friendly, professional, and down to earth. Everything was explained to me in simple terms and my X-​rays (2), cleaning, and even a filling were all done very efficiently. I was in and out in about an hour and a half, which is not long considering everything they did. Lastly, all of the equipment is new & state of the art — in fact they are going to text me or email me my next appointment vs giving me a little business card that I would’ve lost.
Dr Nelson was great… young, smart, and professional. I think I found my new dentist office and you should give them a chance too

Dr. Nelson and staff is very professional and friendly. The office is very beautiful and calm. Dr. Nelson is a great dentist he is a perfectionist so you know that you will have great work done. Aside from the professional setting Dr. Nelson is very personable, understanding and caring about his patients. He loves what he does and that reflects on his work!
