Restorative and Implant Dentistry
Joel Baez, DMD:
Practice Profile Page

I have used Dr Salantino for a few years and couldn’t be happier. I recently had a dental Emergency and he was away. This was a big problem for me being a phobic patient! I had to see Dr Baez as I couldn’t wait. My experience was so positive! From the minute I walked in the door Nicole put my mind at ease. There was no wait time so no time for my nervousness to make me too uptight. Dr Baez was professional and kind. He spent so Much time with me, I never felt rushed. He was professional and honest . The assistant, Jennifer was so sweet and also explained things to me. She had a great personality- which is a big plus. I immediately felt relaxed, comfortable and confident! I HIGHLY recommend Signature Dental Group for all dental needs!

I had my initial meeting with Dr. Baez today and I finally feel as if I’m being heard in terms of my dental needs. This is not a huge corporate dental practice, but rather a personalized approach to dentistry, which is what dentistry should be about. He told me that he is experienced in dealing with the VA, who is paying for what is being requested. I am confident that I am at the right place now to get the implants and the cosmetic work done that I require.

As a person who doesn’t like going to the dentist I HIGHLY recommend Dr Baez and Dr Slootsky. I drive 45 min just to go to them because they are super efficient and make the experience very comfortable for me. On top of that the office staff Amy and Eteri always make sure to answer all my questions and concerns. Dr Baez is doing Invisalign on me and explained in extreme detail the entire process which makes me feel great about choosing this team for my dental work! Thanks Dr Slootsky and Dr Baez! Oh on top of that they have the best technology I’ve seen In a dental office. Incredible!

I’m very thrilled to be one of Dr.Slootski’s Student at NSU college of Dental Medicine. Coming from a family with many dentists and being in this field, I can truly appreciate Dr.Slootski’s work. His office is supplied with the highest technology such as CBCT, TSCAN, Laser and etc… Dr.Slootski and Dr.Baez are both very knowledgeable. I have been watching many of Dr.Slootski’s dental procedures and surgeries, and I can assure you the quality of treatments that you’ll recieve Dr.Slootski’s staffs are very charming and friendly. Dr.Baez is one of the best when it comes to Implant Surgeries, Restorative sand Cosmetic dentistry. Dr.baez applies his knowledge in technology with his skills in dentistry to provide the best outcome for his patients. Dentistry is a mixture of Art and Science, and Dr.slootski and Dr.Baez are masters in this field.

Dr. Baez did a great job on my implant and crown, entire staff is very professional and courteous. I was expecting a rough experience but the entire process was very smooth and didn’t even need so much as an aspirin post procedure. Dr. Baez did a free consultation and answered all my questions, then placed the implant a week later. It was a pretty simple procedure, it took about 1 hour from start to finish, no pain. I came back later for my crown and it looks perfect. Dr. Baez really care for his patients, he has such a gentle touch. I am referring all my friends and family to Dr. Baez!!!!

A long time ago, I got a bum root canal. The dentist didn’t do a good job. As a result, an infection occasionally began building up in my gums. It became more frequent. And I was told by numerous doctors, if I did nothing, I was risking big damage to my mouth. So, for the past few years I’ve been wandering into various Fort Lauderdale dentists, and just seeing what they said about my problem. What restorative ideas could they implement? Dr. Baez though seemed the most sincere. Money was a big concern of mine but it wasn’t the most important. It shouldn’t be when dealing with something as important as my molars. Sure, the guy in the parking lot might do it out of his 84 Ford Transit for cheap, but is that what you want? Other dentists offered ideas more expensive than Baez and others were cheaper. Baez though, laid out a plan that would only be done once my mouth was fixed, at least a year. I decided to get it done at Restorative. Baez pulled my teeth, and put in my temporary bridge and I feel great! The anticipation of having my teeth yanked out turned out to be much worse than the actual operation! Oh yeah, did I mention the nurses there? They are all very pretty and very sweet. Talk to them for a few minutes, and you don’t even need a drop of novacaine! The procedure is far from over, I’ll keep you posted.

I have to say I hate hate the dentist. It took me like 15 years to go back to the dentist. Even when I did I wasn’t jumping for joy. But from the moment I walk into Dr. Baez office I knew that this place was different. Everyone is so warm and welcoming. I had my wisdom teeth removed and a root canal. It was the most painless experience I could have ever image. The next day I felt like nothing had happened. Wether you like the dentist or not don’t look anywhere else but this places!! You will never find better doctors or a better staff!!! A+++++++

I just moved to this area a few weeks ago and I called the emergency line at 7am due to intense pain from a tooth. It was an emergency because i’m leaving for a vacation tomorrow. They got me in that morning and controlled the pain. I was in and out of the office in an hour. The front desk staff was really helpful and understanding. Doctor knew exactly what to do and seemed very experienced and kind. SO thankful I can enjoy my vacation! Will be back for a root canal and crown in a few weeks and will update then.

I went here because I needed a quote for an implant. Whenever I’m about to get any sort of expensive work done I like to learn about it as much as I can. Therefore, I practically knew exactly what I was looking for when it comes to an implant; right down to the techniques/materials that I preferred a dentist to use. I initially thought it was a simple procedure. However, there are so many factors related to it that picking the right dentist who really knows what they are doing is probably the most crucial part about having an implant put it. I went to 9 dentists and Dr. Biez was so impressive that he became the most obvious choice to have the procedure done. First thing I noticed was how much effort he put in at the free consultation. The way he did the examination would have made it seem like I was an established (paying) patient that has been coming there for years. With all the other Dentists, only one doctor did the examination. At this office Dr. Biez and his partner Dr. Slootsky were both present and extremely involved in the examination. That’s probably the reason why they detected a problem that was completely unrelated to the implant itself. Furthermore, when I asked them very technical questions related to the surgery; they answered them with great detail and were very patient throughout the process. They also used all the preferred methods and material’s that I learned from my studies as being the best ones. When it came to cost, Dr. Biez was extremely competitive for all the work he was doing. He also offered to fix the problem they detected (unrelated to the implant) completely free of cost! So needless to say I decided to use them for the procedure. I’m already halfway done (implant put in, waiting for healing so I can put in the crown) and I’m extremely satisfied. The procedure went seamlessly and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking for a top of the line dentist I would recommend you go here.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at this dental office today. Everyone was very gracious to my mother, myself and my younger brother. We all got x-rays and got our teeth cleaned. However, all of our favorite part of this visit was Lisa Marie! She made all of us feel very comfortable and we were very pleased to make her acquaintance. She was very kind and personable and made us feel apart of the Slootsky family. We will definitely be back for another visit! P.S. The magazines were amazing during the wait! 🙂

I went to the office for the first time because I needed some dental implants. From the moment i walked in the atmosphere was very welcoming and I felt very comfortable. Dr Baez was very good at explaining in detail what the surgery would consist of and what I would expect afterward. Overall it went very well, the whole procedure took much less time than I expected and I felt no discomfort during the surgery; I will definitely go back for the rest of my dental implants.
