Office Roles – Who Am I Talking ToMiami,FL

Most busy dental practices have lots of different staff members with unique roles. Patients may not know who all of the different people are in the office. Dental staff teams feature dental providers, dental laboratory workers, administrative workers, and billing personnel.
Our dental office provides a variety of services at Relax and Smile Dental Care in Miami and the surrounding area. The office workers and dental providers work together to deliver quality patient care. Our goal is for our patients to get a smooth and positive experience, from the first phone call contact when making an appointment to finishing up a dental treatment.

The team of dental staff at our office works to give you the most appropriate treatment for your oral health. Learn about each type of staff member in our office and what they do.

Laser-Precise. Medically Administered.

CO₂ laser technology is among the most powerful tools in modern aesthetics — and in untrained hands, among the most consequential. At Relax and Smile, every laser treatment is performed by Dr. Roman, a dental-medical professional with formal training in laser therapy.

From targeted under-eye tightening to full-face resurfacing, these treatments work by triggering your skin’s own regenerative response — stimulating collagen, tightening tissue, and restoring a smoother, more youthful surface.

Precision is everything. And here, it’s guaranteed.

Section Title

The most familiar people patients know and interact with at the dental office are the primary care staff members: dentists and dental hygienists. These dental professionals deliver care to patients by examining the patient, taking X-rays, cleaning teeth, filling cavities, and more.

Dentists have acquired years of training to be able to diagnose and treat oral conditions and issues. Dental hygienists have also undergone several years of preparation in the field to do their jobs. These professionals have additionally taken part in clinical training experiences in their preparation. Both dentists and dental hygienists also must meet strict licensing requirements in order to treat patients.

Other key employees in a dental office are those working in the back. The back-office staff team mainly consists of dental assistants and dental laboratory technicians. Dental assistants may work alongside primary care staff members delivering patient care. They also work with back-office staff doing a variety of tasks related to the dental lab.

Dental lab technicians usually do not work directly with patients. Instead, they typically work in the dental lab restoring dental appliances, constructing bridges and dentures, fabricating crowns, and assembling orthodontics. Some dental lab technicians earn certifications demonstrating a commitment to high-quality lab work.

Medical Oversight. Every Time.

Administrative Staff

Patients interact frequently with the dental staff members on the administrative team. The administrative staff for a large practice may feature a big team of office workers. Administrative staff members for a dental office do not participate in the treatment or care patients get. They are instead facilitators and coordinators for scheduling, communication, and insurance paperwork.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Dental receptionists are administrative workers who primarily focus on communication. They often answer phones and take messages for dental providers. In the office, they may also greet patients and direct them to fill out paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Quiet Nite a treatment for sleep apnea?

No. Quiet Nite is a non-invasive laser comfort treatment designed to help tone and tighten soft tissues that may contribute to snoring — it is not a treatment for sleep apnea or any diagnosed sleep disorder. Sleep apnea is a serious medical condition that requires diagnosis and treatment by a qualified sleep medicine physician. If you suspect you have sleep apnea, please consult a medical specialist. Quiet Nite is an aesthetic tissue-tightening procedure for comfort purposes only. Results may vary.

What is the difference between PRF Bio-Filler and traditional dermal fillers?

Traditional dermal fillers use synthetic hyaluronic acid or other materials to add volume beneath the skin. PRF Bio-Filler uses a concentrated preparation of Platelet-Rich Fibrin derived from your own blood — making it a biologically-derived approach to volume restoration. Because it uses your own growth factors, it may offer a more natural-looking result with a lower risk of adverse reactions. PRF Bio-Filler is designed for patients who prefer a natural approach using their own biology. Results may vary and individual outcomes differ.

What is SmoothLase® and why does it require a dental provider?

SmoothLase® is a non-surgical laser treatment performed inside the mouth that stimulates collagen production and tightens facial tissues from within — improving skin firmness and softening wrinkles without any external incisions or downtime. Because the treatment is administered intraorally (inside the mouth), it requires the expertise of a licensed dental-medical professional who has the training, equipment, and clinical access to perform it safely. This is a treatment that most aesthetic clinics simply cannot offer. Results may vary.

Can I combine multiple aesthetic treatments?

Yes — many of our treatments are designed to complement each other and can be strategically combined for enhanced results. For example, Targeted PRF Bio-Renewal is frequently added on to a PRF Microneedling Facial, and HairSOME™ is designed as an enhancement to PRF Hair Rejuvenation. Your provider will review your goals during the consultation and recommend a combination approach if it's appropriate for your skin type, health history, and desired outcomes. Results may vary.

How many sessions do I need to see results?

The number of sessions needed depends on the treatment and your individual goals. Some patients notice improvement after a single session, while others achieve optimal results through a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. For example, PRF microneedling is often recommended as a series of 3 sessions, while CO₂ resurfacing may deliver significant results in one session. PRF hair rejuvenation typically requires multiple sessions over several months. We'll build a personalized treatment plan during your consultation. Results may vary.

Are aesthetic treatments performed by a dentist safe?

Yes — in fact, having a medically trained dental provider perform aesthetic treatments offers significant safety advantages. Dentists have advanced clinical knowledge of facial anatomy, including the precise location of nerves, blood vessels, and tissue structures. This expertise directly translates to safer, more precise aesthetic treatment outcomes. At Relax & Smile Dental Care, all treatments are administered by a licensed medical professional using medical-grade equipment and sterile clinical protocols.

Is there any downtime after PRF or laser treatments?

Downtime varies by treatment. PRF microneedling typically involves mild redness and sensitivity for 24–72 hours, similar to a light sunburn. CO₂ laser resurfacing may require a longer recovery period depending on the depth of treatment. Non-ablative laser treatments like SmoothLase® and LipLase® generally involve little to no visible downtime. Your provider will walk you through exactly what to expect at your consultation based on your specific treatment plan. Results and recovery may vary by individual.

What is PRF and how does it work?

PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin — a concentration of growth factors and healing proteins derived from a small sample of your own blood. During treatment, blood is drawn in-office, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the growth factors, and then applied topically or injected into the treatment area. PRF works by stimulating your body's own regenerative processes — encouraging collagen production, cellular renewal, and tissue healing naturally. Because it uses your own biology, there are no synthetic additives or foreign substances involved. Results may vary by individual.
