The Best Pediatric Dentists in Aventura, FL (2026 Guide)

Aventura reads as a condo-and-retiree city, but Aventura Lakes, Founders Park, and the school-run traffic on NE 207th St tell a different story. Families live here, and three practices in the city focus on their kids.

Three is a manageable number, so this guide covers all of them, plus one family practice for households who want parents and teens seen in the same office. The picks and their order are editorial selections based on verifiable signals: years in operation, the ages and needs each office treats, hours that work for school schedules, languages, and hospital affiliations. We describe what each office offers rather than judging clinical quality, which we cannot verify.

Dental Care Group Kids

Our lead pick combines 25+ years in operation with the most schedule-friendly hours in the category and a rare two-for-one: pediatric dentistry and orthodontics in the same office.

Dr. Rosenfeld and Dr. Ciceron treat infants, children, adolescents, and patients with special needs. The practice holds Invisalign Top 1% Provider status, picked up a Best of Miami 2025 recognition, and hosts an annual free community dentistry day. Parents juggling work schedules get Saturday hours plus Wednesday evenings to 7pm.

Language coverage stands out even by Aventura standards: English, Spanish, Hebrew, Portuguese, Creole, and Russian. The office sits at 2797 NE 207th St, Suite 201, upstairs from The Dental Care Group in the hospital district , phone (305) 935-1613. Adults in the family can book downstairs, a pairing we cover in our overall best dentists in Aventura guide. Full details on the Dental Care Group Kids profile .

Best family option: Haratz Dental

Not a pediatric office, and we will not pretend otherwise. Haratz Dental earns this spot as the family-dentistry play, one office where parents, teens, and grandparents all hold appointments, backed by three doctors covering general, cosmetic, and periodontal care.

The household math is the draw. A $99 new-patient exam package covers the first visit, membership plans start at $699 per year with 20 percent off procedures, and patients are seen in English, Spanish, and Hebrew. Hours are weekdays only, Monday to Thursday 9:30am to 5pm and Friday to 4pm. The office is at 2775 NE 187th St, PH4, in the Town Center area , phone (786) 433-5232.

Be clear about the limits. For toddlers, first dental visits, and any child with special needs, the pediatric-only offices below are the better fit; this pick is for families who want everyone past the booster-seat years under one roof.

Brody Pediatric Dentistry

A pediatric-only office with the kind of tenure you can measure in childhoods. Testimonials cite families attending for 16+ years, meaning kids who started in the toddler chair left for college with the same practice.

Dr. Michael Brody and Dr. Dana Storch keep the focus on prevention: sealants, silver diamine fluoride, exams, and fillings for children and teens. That preventive emphasis carries extra weight now that Miami-Dade stopped fluoridating tap water in May 2025, a change we break down in our fluoride explainer for parents . In-office fluoride varnish and SDF are among the tools that fill the gap.

The office is at 20762 W Dixie Hwy in the Ojus and West Dixie area of west Aventura, near NE 207th St, phone (305) 682-0045, with a second location in Miami Beach. See the Brody Pediatric Dentistry profile .

Main Street Children's Dentistry and Orthodontics

The strongest pick for very young children, special-needs patients, and any case that might require anesthesia. No other pediatric office in the city lists hospital affiliations.

Care starts at age one, and the practice treats children with autism, ADHD, and developmental disabilities, a capability many offices claim loosely but this one states specifically. For anesthesia cases, it is affiliated with Nicklaus Children's Hospital and Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, which means a child who cannot be treated safely in an office chair has a defined pathway to hospital-based care.

Staffing runs four deep: pediatric dentists Dr. Carolina Akerman and Dr. Aurelio Bula, plus orthodontists Dr. Estela Truzman and Dr. Kathleen Valencia. Saturday hours run 8am to 2pm, and virtual ortho consultations are offered. Find the office in the Aventura Town Center plaza at 19084 NE 29th Ave, in the Town Center area , phone (786) 623-5898. The Main Street profile has the full picture.

How to choose between them

With only three options, the decision usually turns on one distinguishing need rather than a long comparison.

• If your child has special needs or may need sedation or general anesthesia, start with Main Street. The hospital affiliations are the deciding factor, and nothing else in the city matches them.
• If you want braces and pediatric care coordinated in one office, Dental Care Group Kids and Main Street both staff for it. Compare them against the dedicated practices in our best orthodontists in Aventura list before committing, since a practice limited to orthodontics may suit a complex case better.
• If prevention-first care close to Ojus, Highland Lakes, or west Aventura is the priority, Brody's location on W Dixie Hwy saves you the Biscayne Blvd traffic entirely.
• Weekend logistics matter more than most parents expect. Two of the three offices open Saturdays, so a school-year schedule does not have to mean missed class time.
• Language fit counts for grandparents doing pickup duty too. Dental Care Group Kids covers six languages, the broadest in the category.

Whichever office you pick, book the first visit earlier than feels necessary. With fluoride gone from the tap water, an Aventura kid's first dental habits now do more work than they used to, and a dentist who knows your child by age two catches problems that a first visit at age five inherits.
