Led by Dr. Anatoly Ripa and Oksana Ripa, this fast-growing clinic is setting new standards for aesthetic dentistry in South Florida.
South Florida has no shortage of luxury dental clinics, but few stand out as boldly or deliver as consistently as Smile Creators, the Bay Harbor Islands-based dental practice founded by Dr. Anatoly Ripa and his wife and business partner Oksana Ripa. With two locations now open — and a third opening soon in Aventura — Smile Creators is becoming a leading name in advanced cosmetic dentistry and full-mouth reconstruction, trusted by patients across Miami for their expertise, efficiency, and style.
Smile Creators has built its reputation on high-quality, personalized dental care with a strong focus on innovation and aesthetics. Their mission is clear: to merge clinical precision with artistry in order to design smiles that not only look beautiful but enhance a patient’s entire facial appearance and confidence.
At the center of Smile Creators’ success is Dr. Anatoly Ripa, who has practiced dentistry for over 27 years and is a graduate of Stony Brook University. Fluent in English, Russian, and Ukrainian, Dr. Ripa serves a wide demographic across North Miami-Dade. He has spent decades developing his own treatment protocols and continually investing in the latest technology — from digital imaging to CAD/CAM crown design — to deliver optimal results with minimal downtime.
Veneers: The Signature Smile Creators Service
Among Smile Creators’ wide array of services, porcelain veneers are undoubtedly the clinic’s most requested and celebrated procedure. Known throughout Miami for their signature “Smile Creator Hollywood Smile,” the team has performed thousands of veneer transformations on models, professionals, and celebrities alike.
Unlike many clinics that offer a standard approach to veneers, Smile Creators begins every case with an in-depth aesthetic evaluation. Dr. Ripa designs each smile as an artist would compose a portrait — with attention to facial proportions, lip line, gum symmetry, personality, and even lifestyle. This holistic approach ensures that every veneer case is not only technically perfect but also harmoniously tailored to the patient’s natural look.
Smile Creators offers ultra-thin porcelain veneers, which require minimal to no enamel removal and preserve more of the natural tooth structure. This modern method eliminates the bulky, artificial look often associated with older veneer techniques. These custom-made shells are fabricated using advanced materials that are stain-resistant, light-reflective, and incredibly durable — with results that often last a decade or longer with proper care.
Using digital smile design technology, patients can preview their future smile before any prep work begins. In many cases, full smile makeovers can be completed in just 24 to 48 hours — thanks to in-house design systems and high-speed production workflows. This kind of turnaround, without sacrificing quality, has made Smile Creators a go-to destination for professionals with limited time and high expectations.
Full-Service Cosmetic and General Dentistry
While veneers are the clinic’s hallmark service, Smile Creators also offers a comprehensive range of dental care solutions for patients of all ages. These include:
- Invisalign and orthodontic treatments for discreet teeth alignment
- All-on-Four dental implants, a fast and effective solution for patients with significant tooth loss
- Professional teeth whitening using advanced light-activated systems
- Emergency dental services, available for urgent pain, fractures, or lost restorations
- Routine cleanings and exams, including X-rays and deep gum cleanings
- Pediatric and family dentistry, designed to keep smiles healthy at every stage of life
- Halitosis treatment, addressing the underlying causes of persistent bad breath
Each treatment plan is customized and designed with long-term outcomes in mind. Dr. Ripa and his team emphasize comfort, clarity, and education, ensuring that patients understand their options and receive transparent guidance throughout their journey.
A Clinic Built on Innovation and Comfort
Smile Creators @smilecreators_miami isn’t just known for its results — the clinic’s investment in technology and ambiance sets it apart in a crowded market. Every six months, the team upgrades diagnostic and imaging tools to stay ahead of industry standards. Their facilities include 3D cone-beam CT scanners, intraoral cameras, and digital impression systems — all designed to reduce discomfort and improve accuracy.
Equally important is the environment: both locations offer spa-inspired treatment rooms, custom scents, and calming color palettes that reduce patient anxiety. Every space is created to feel modern, clean, and welcoming — without the harsh lights or sterile atmosphere of a traditional office.
Patients are also supported with multilingual staff (English, Russian and Spanish), flexible scheduling, and financing options that make luxury dental care more accessible.
Expansion Into Sunny Isles Beach and Aventura
In 2025, Smile Creators announced the launch of two new offices to serve the greater North Miami-Dade region. The new locations — in Sunny Isles Beach and Aventura — aim to meet growing demand while preserving the boutique feel and quality of care the brand is known for.
These state-of-the-art facilities will mirror the original Bay Harbor Islands clinic, offering the same signature services in environments optimized for comfort and speed. Grand opening dates are expected later this year, and both offices are already generating interest among local residents and returning patients.
