Big Smile Dentistry

What Big Smile Dentistry does

Big Smile Dentistry is a privately-held, dual-location dental practice founded in 2013 and operating offices in Lake Worth and Greenacres, Florida (Palm Beach County). The practice delivers a full suite of general and cosmetic dental services, including routine preventive care, fillings, crowns and bridges, dentures, root canals, dental implants, extractions, veneers, bonding, teeth whitening, and emergency dental care, along with Invisalign clear-aligner therapy delivered as a Certified Premier Provider.

The practice is built around an in-house dental lab and a modern diagnostic technology stack comprising iTero optical impression (CAD/CAM) scanners, digital X-rays, and intraoral cameras, which support precise treatment planning and a more comfortable patient experience. The clinical team is led by owner Dr. Rasmi Akel, DDS, whose advanced training spans cosmetic dentistry, prosthodontics, endodontics, and periodontics; it includes additional dentists and hygienists with bilingual (Spanish) capability and international dental training. Operations are supported by an extensive content footprint (a 269-post blog, patient education library, and Spanish-language site section) and a Care to Share referral program.

The business model is a fee-for-service consumer dental practice: revenue is generated from individual dental procedures paid by patients or reimbursed through PPO/HMO insurance, supplemented by a self-pay discount plan for uninsured patients and CareCredit-financed patient obligations. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, relying on the practice website, online appointment scheduling, organic search and reviews, walk-in emergency services, and word-of-mouth; no institutional or third-party payer concentration is present.
