01 Our story

A practice built on a personal reason

Dr. Etemad’s interest in dentistry began with a dental problem of his own — one he couldn’t afford to fix. That experience still shapes how the practice runs: high-quality care, explained clearly and priced fairly.

He built Palm Beach Institute of Dentistry as an all-in-one office. Implants, cosmetic dentistry, sedation and full-mouth reconstruction all happen here, so patients don’t have to travel between offices or pay more than they should.

Today, a team of dentists, hygienists, assistants and coordinators cares for patients of every age, from a child’s first checkup to a complete new smile.

Every patient has their own goals, needs, and budget. My job is to take the time to understand all three — and then deliver care that actually fits their life.Dr. Babak Robert Etemad, DMD
02 What we believe

How we care for you

Four promises that guide every visit, whether you’re here for a cleaning or a full set of new teeth.

i.

Everything under one roof

Cleanings, fillings, crowns, implants and full-arch reconstruction — one team, one place, one plan.

ii.

Clear prices, no pressure

You’ll know the cost before treatment begins. We accept all dental insurance except Medicaid and file your claims, and our membership plan helps if you’re uninsured.

iii.

Comfort comes first

Gentle numbing with the STA Wand, oral sedation for anxious patients and a calm, judgment-free chair. Patient comfort

iv.

Care in your language

Our team speaks English and Spanish, and Dr. Etemad also speaks Persian — so nothing gets lost in translation.

03 Our doctors
