Our Story

Welcome to our dental family! At our practice, we're not just about creating beautiful smiles - we're about building lasting relationships and treating every patient like they're part of our own family.  Our story started decades ago, in Miami, where two siblings, Dr. Luis Gomara and Dr. Damaris-Gomara-Salcines, took the first steps in what would grow into a close-knit community of passionate dental professionals. 

Dr. AJ and Dr. Claudia graduating Dental and Medical School at Columbia.

From a young age, Damaris Gomara Salcines and Luis Gomara were inspired by their father, an Obstetrician/Gynecologist in Cuba who taught them the importance of caring for others. Following in his footsteps, both siblings became doctors themselves, graduating together from Boston University Dental School in the early ’90s. With a shared vision, they opened their first small dental practice in South Florida, working out of a single chair provided by a generous local doctor. That humble beginning set the stage for what would become a family-driven practice built on trust, compassion, and exceptional care over the next 30 years. Today, Damaris’ eldest son, Dr. AJ Salcines who followed in his mother’s footsteps in going to dental school and becoming an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, and his wife, Dr. Claudia Salcines, a Pediatric Dentist, are a part of the family practice.

And the ties don’t stop there—Drs. Luis & Damaris hygienist from their original practice son, Dr. Javier Salinas, who grew up watching the practice, is now one of our dentists, working alongside his wife, Dr. Amber Salinas, also a dentist, to continue the family tradition.
