Most of this practice shares a surname. Four of the five dentists here are one family, the office was laid out like a home rather than a clinic, and the person who treats you in ten years is very likely the one who treats you today.

The question is rarely whether a treatment can be done. It is whether you will still be glad about it in ten years.

From failing teeth to a fixed, fitted smile, for patients who qualify.

Express Signature Smile™

A full mouth of teeth,
in under 48 hours.

If you are living with loose dentures, failing dental work or teeth you have stopped showing people, the honest starting point is a scan and a conversation — not a quote over the phone. What follows is one surgery, one team and one address.

  • Extractions, implants and fixed teeth in one planQualified patients leave with a fixed temporary the same day. You never walk out of this office without teeth.
  • Planned digitally before anything is touchedThe surgery is designed against your own bite and facial proportions, so the result is decided in software rather than discovered in the chair.
  • A periodontist, an endodontist and a prosthodontic-trained dentistPlacement, gum and bone work, root canal treatment and the final teeth all happen here, by people who share the notes.
  • Fixed, not removableImplant-supported teeth stay put. They hold the jawbone, they return your bite force, and they are cleaned like teeth rather than soaked overnight.

How the work gets done

Three things that happen before the drill does.

None of this is equipment for its own sake. Each one exists because it removes a specific way that dentistry goes wrong.

A full-arch case being designed on screen at Signature Dental Group.
01

You see the result before we start

The problem: agreeing to a smile you have only had described to you.

Every reconstruction is planned in 3D against your own face and bite, and you look at it before anything is prepared. If the shape is wrong, it gets changed on the screen rather than in your mouth.

02

IV sedation, for the people who need it

The problem: patients who put off treatment for years because of how the last one felt.

Sedation here is monitored throughout, and it is offered for anxiety as readily as for long surgical appointments. Say so when you call and it is built into the plan rather than added as an afterthought.

03

The lab work happens here

The problem: three weeks and two more appointments, because the work went out to a lab.

Guides, temporaries and try-ins are produced in the building. That is most of why a full-arch case can be finished in days rather than months, and why a small adjustment does not cost you another visit.

Meet your dentist

Dr. Joel Baez, DMD, DICOI

He founded this practice on a straightforward idea: present the ideal plan, explain what it costs and what it does, then let the patient decide — the combination of cutting-edge science and genuine human connection. His wife, Dr. Valentina Baez, is the periodontist.

  • Third-generation dentistHe told people he would be one before he knew what the job was. His mother's side of the family has practised for three generations.
  • Over 1,000 hours of continuing educationTaken globally, and still being added to. Surgical and cosmetic training following an Advanced General Dentistry programme in San Antonio.
  • Key Opinion Leader, Straumann and OraPharmaHe teaches implant technique to other dentists for the largest implant company in the world, and for OraPharma.
  • Diplomate, ICOIThe International Congress of Oral Implantologists, the qualification behind the DICOI after his name.

Five dentists. One set of notes.

A periodontist, an endodontist, a prosthodontics-trained dentist and forty-one years of general practice, all in the same building. A question asked on Monday does not need asking again on Thursday, and nobody is referred across town for the next stage.

One address for all of it

Everything, without a referral across town.

Most practices send the implant, the gum surgery and the root canal somewhere else. Here they are three doors apart, which is the whole reason a complex case moves quickly.

Our “home-style” office layout represents our own patient-focused philosophy: open, honest and caring to all our patients. We want you to feel right at home. The practiceIn their own words

New patients

The first visit is an examination and a conversation.

If it has been years, say so when you call. It is one of the most common reasons people find this practice, and it changes how the first appointment is run — not what we think of you.

  1. A full examination, and only the X-rays that change the plan
  2. Gums, bite and a 3D scan, so there is something to compare against next year
  3. A written plan, with the cost of each part of it
  4. A plain answer on what is urgent, what can wait, and what can be left alone

Insurance and financing

We check the policy before you book.

We are in network with most major PPO plans and we file the claim for you. Because plans differ even within one carrier, the only honest answer needs your specific policy — so call with your card and we will verify it as a courtesy. New patients with PPO cover leave the first visit with a free Quip toothbrush.

  1. Courtesy insurance verification before the first appointment
  2. Flexible payment plans through Cherry, including for patients with no cover
  3. A written plan with the cost of each part of it, before anything begins
  4. Hablamos Español — the whole conversation, not just the greeting

PPO plans we see most

  • Aetna
  • Ameritas
  • BlueCross BlueShield
  • Cigna
  • Delta Dental
  • DenteMax

Dental emergency

If it hurts today, call today.

We keep time back each day for pain, a fracture or a crown that has come off, and we take walk-ins. Phone the practice rather than booking online — it is the fastest way into a chair, and it lets us tell you what to do in the meantime.

Common questions

What people ask before they book.

Do you take my insurance?

We are in network with most major PPO plans and we file the claim for you. Plans differ even within one carrier, so call the office with your card and we will verify it as a courtesy before you book. New patients with PPO cover also receive a free Quip toothbrush.

I need something today. Do you see emergencies?

Yes. We welcome walk-in emergency cases and keep same-day time back for toothache, broken teeth and lost crowns. Call the practice rather than booking online and we will find you a slot.

Can I really have a full set of teeth in 48 hours?

Many qualified patients can. The Express Signature Smile protocol combines extractions, implant placement and a fixed temporary in one treatment plan, so you do not leave without teeth. Whether you qualify depends on bone, gum health and general health, which a scan and an examination settle.

Is IV sedation safe?

Yes, and it is monitored throughout. We offer it for dental anxiety as readily as for long surgical appointments. Tell us when you call so it is planned in rather than added on.

What does a dental implant cost?

It depends on how many teeth, the state of the bone and whether grafting is needed, so a figure before an examination would be a guess. We quote in writing after the consultation, and payment can be spread through Cherry.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yes. Hablamos Español — the whole appointment, not just the greeting.

Who would I see for gum disease?

Dr. Valentina Baez, who is board certified in periodontics and implant dentistry. Treatment here includes laser therapy, grafting and regenerative work that rebuilds bone and soft tissue rather than simply removing what is diseased.

Where exactly are you, and is there parking?

160 SE 6th Ave, Ste B-1, Delray Beach, FL 33483, in downtown Delray Beach. Suite B-1 is on the ground floor.
