Meet Dr. Mars and Dr. Glicksman

Dr. Rick Mars has practiced patient-centered dentistry in the Miami area for over 25 years. Dr. Joel Glicksman takes great pride in providing honest, professional health care to the community. Together they lead the dentists and specialists of The Dental Care Group.

Why Dental Care Group

A practice built around people

One roof, many specialties

General dentists work alongside a periodontist, orthodontist, endodontist, oral surgeon, prosthodontist and pediatric dentist, so most care happens in one place.

Your language, your comfort

English and Spanish at all three offices, and team members who also speak Hebrew, Portuguese, Creole/Haitian and Russian.

Modern tools, gentle approach

Digital scanning instead of messy impressions, same-day CEREC® crowns and comfort-focused anesthesia delivery.

Close to home, open Saturdays

Aventura, Pembroke Pines and Fort Lauderdale, each with Saturday hours so care fits your week.

Giving back, every year

Each year our team and volunteers open the doors for Dentistry From Our Hearts, a free day of dentistry for people who need it. It is one of the things we are proudest of.

Lily provided exceptional care and detailed information regarding the condition of my teeth. Her dental cleaning technique was superlative. She is a gem and I can highly recommend her to anyone who desires a competent, personable, kind and talented hygenist. Thank you Lily!!

Ikey O.

Had an amazing experience with both Dr. Joel Glicksman and Dr. Mathew Fien. They explained every detail of the process to include my husband. They also followed up post care including giving me their mobile numbers and calling me! Best dentist I have ever had !!!

Xiomara O.

Absolutely amazing! The staff are always friendly, professional and caring. After years of bad experiences with other dentists it was a blessing to find this office. Dr. Perez and Claudie eased all of my fears, make every visit a pleasure and I couldn’t imagine ever going anywhere else. Thank you so much ❤️

Jessica P.

I would give this office 10 stars if it was possible. They are so welcoming and friendly. Going to the dentist is hard enough, but they make it easy. Marlene, Claudia, Greter, Amanda and Dr. Perez are the best. I will recommend the office to my friends and coworkers for sure

Daniel R.

I love this office they are very sweet and professional. The staff, especially Dr. Perez, Claudia, and Amanda, are amazing. Dr. Perez is very patient, truly listens to your needs, and is a perfectionist.

Debbie G.

I had such a great experience at this dentist office—everything was clean, organized, and welcoming. The staff made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. Amanda was especially amazing, super kind, patient, and made sure to answer all of my questions! You can tell she genuinely cares about patients, and that really made a difference.

Daisy B.

When I tell you I have extreme dental anxiety… That is putting it lightly. Today I had an extraction done by Dr Miller with Jeanette assisting and I was so thankful for them. Dr Miller’s beside manner is amazing. Calm, explains things. Jeanette even held my hand and talked to me to help calm me. Amazing team and my procedure went well. I’m so happy to have had them. They really went above and beyond. Thank you so much!
