About Relax and Smile Dental Care

Invisalign patients and anxious dental patients alike mention a modern downtown Miami office with Dr. Santos noted for gentle, thorough care.

Relax and Smile Dental Care is a general dental practice in downtown Miami that also offers Invisalign, traditional and clear braces, clear aligners, and retainers. Reviews highlight a clean, modern office with updated technology and comfortable amenities more than at typical practices, and Dr. Santos is repeatedly noted for calm, reassuring care with anxious patients. Pricing and financing come up often too, with many describing transparent costs and competitive Invisalign pricing, though a handful of reviews mention billing confusion or upselling. Staff are frequently described as walking patients through each step of treatment before starting.

Summary of 212 patient reviews, February 2024–September 2026, updated September 2026

Relax and Smile Dental Care in Miami, Florida provides orthodontic treatment for teens and adults seeking straighter smiles in South Florida.

Dr. Laura Cabrera, Dr. Santos, and Dr. Ricart offer Invisalign clear aligner therapy as an alternative to traditional braces. The practice uses digital impression technology to capture precise images of patients' teeth, eliminating the need for traditional molds during the treatment planning process. The practice operates with evening appointment hours and provides online booking for scheduling convenience. Spanish-speaking patients can receive care in their preferred language. All three doctors maintain a combined Google rating of 4.8 stars based on 872 patient reviews. Relax and Smile Dental Care accepts all PPO dental insurance plans and handles insurance verification and claims submission on behalf of patients. The practice verifies coverage before appointments begin. Payment plans are available for out-of-pocket treatment costs, and CareCredit financing is accepted. New patients can schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss treatment options and cost estimates. Residents throughout the Miami area can access orthodontic services at this practice, though treatment planning requires an individual evaluation to determine candidacy for Invisalign and establish a personalized care plan based on specific alignment needs.

Had a fantastic experience at Relax and Smile Dental Care! Scheduling was super easy, and they were able to get me in the very next day. The clinic is equipped with all the latest technology, and the hygienist was incredibly thorough. The dentist and the entire team were warm, personable, and took the time to answer all my questions. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience during my first visit, Kaylee and all the team took excellent care of me throughout the appointment. They took X-rays, and clearly explained each procedure along the way. The whole team is professional and attentive. I recommend for anyone looking for great dental care in Downtown Miami!

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Laura Cabrera and her incredible team at Relax and Smile Dental Care! I usually do not like writing reviews, but their outstanding care completely compelled me to share my experience. Dr. Cabrera is an excellent, highly skilled dentist, and her entire staff is exceptionally professional, warm, and welcoming. Located right in the heart of Downtown Miami, the office provides top-tier service from the moment you walk through the door. If you are looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dental team, look no further! My name is Luis Gonzalez and I’m a patient for life. Best regards, Luis

I’ve been going to their office for quite some time. It’s a very clean space. My appointments are always efficient and generally I feel like they do a very good job when it comes to your regular teeth cleaning. As someone that cares a lot about their dental hygiene, I make a good practice to take care of my teeth. Across the multiple dentists, I’ve seen over the last couple years between my moves, I have not had reported cavities. However, after coming to relax and smile, their first very adamant that I must get an x-ray every six months (literally no other office has ever requested this) And they gave me a very hard time when I refused this service. There were spots on my teeth were I had old fillings where they said that it could be a cavity. As they told me, my fillings needed to be redone So I agreed to that service. For the first time ever after getting my feelings done at relaxing and smile. I have had continuous sensitivity in my molars where they did the drillings.
