More Than Just Dentistry: The Village Dental

The Village Dental may not sound familiar, but the trusted professionals running the show have been serving the community for years. Plus, they offer more services than ever before.

When choosing a dentist, selecting a trusted professional with experience is high on the list for most patients. At The Village Dental: Aesthetics and Wellness, patients will find just what they’re looking for in the dentists and other dental health care specialists they’ll meet there. That’s because they bring decades of experience along with them.

Alexandra Castillo, D.M.D., has proudly called Miami home since 1995; and she has worked as a dentist at Greenstein Dental since 2012. Early that same year, she married her high school sweetheart, Erik. In 2015, they welcomed twins and began raising them within the same vibrant community. When the chance to take over the business from Dr. Greenstein arose, Dr. Castillo embraced the opportunity.

“Dr. Greenstein extended the offer for me to purchase the practice after my decade-long tenure as an associate, and I couldn’t say no to ownership, particularly because the practice’s mission and objectives align seamlessly with my own — to be a partner in our patients’ dental health in efforts of striving for overall wellness,” she says. “We have also built a team loved by all. I can’t say enough great things about the team that surrounds me and elevates our practice to the next level. Without them, there is no Village.”

A Unique Dental Experience

As the name The Village Dental: Aesthetics and Wellness suggests, Dr. Castillo’s office can take care of your dental health and a lot more as well. She is particularly interested in how your dental health can impact your overall systemic well-being. For example, keeping your mouth, gums and teeth healthy and clean can provide benefits for other parts of the body, such as improving mental health or preventing chronic disease over time.

“I’m enamored with the idea of health and wellness and being proactive about maintaining an active lifestyle,” says Dr. Castillo. “I’m passionate about educating patients that teeth are not only part of having an aesthetically pleasing smile (which, by the way, instigates joy and thus contributes to mental health), but they’re also at the gateway of the foods we process and take in. Dental wellness really ties into the rest of our bodies in a way many patients don’t acknowledge or realize, and we’re here to make that connection and be proactive about health.”

The practice also pays special attention to airway and sleep, recognizing patterns of airway obstruction and sleep apnea to make the appropriate referrals for its patients’ well-being. This is yet another way they care about their patients’ overall health and wellness.

Your Trusted Dental Professionals

Of course, to help you maintain that health and well-being, The Village Dental covers all your dental needs with a trusted team that is focused on quality. “We provide a wide range of dental services to maintain the integrity of your dentition, from specialty services like orthodontics to straighten misaligned teeth and bites (even as adults) to implant dentistry to replace missing teeth,” says Dr. Castillo.

They also have the latest tools and equipment on hand to provide you with the highest-quality dental care available. “Our practice is equipped with state-of-the-art digital technology that aids us in diagnosis, such as a 3D X-ray unit,” says Dr. Castillo. “We also have digital scanners that allow us to bypass the use of ‘goopy’ impressions and an in-house milling unit that makes crowns on the same day to avoid follow-up appointments and inefficiencies for our busy patients.”

It Takes a Village

All the while, you can expect cutting-edge care from a team of skilled and sympathetic dental professionals who have worked together and with their patients for a long time. “If you’ve ever been to our office, you can attest that our treatment is top quality,” she says. “We treat our patients like we do our own family, and we never stop short.”

Dr. Castillo adds that wait times are always short or nonexistent at The Village Dental. They never overbook, and they provide text alerts if they’re running early or late with prior patients.

Meanwhile, Dr. Greenstein, a recognized leader in dentistry, continues to be an integral part of the team. He has now transitioned to a part-time role, but he’s still fully committed to patient care.

Whether you’re an existing customer of Greenstein Dental or looking for a new dentist for yourself or your family, give The Village Dental: Aesthetics and Wellness a closer look. You’ll be hard-pressed to find more comprehensive care from a better team of trusted dental professionals.

The Village Dental: Aesthetics and Wellness is located at 11921 South Dixie Highway, Suite 206, in Pinecrest. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 305.251.5558, email them at info@thevillagedentalmiami.com or visit their website at thevillagedentalmiami.com.
