Dr. Davila offers a personalized approach to dentistry, ensuring the patient’s overall health and needs are met.

My ideal patient is a collaborator in their dental care.”

Dr. Davila is thrilled to be back in her native habitat, Miami. In her free time, you’ll find her spending time on the water, running along the water line, traveling to ski around the world, experimenting in the kitchen, and enjoying her big family of 16 (and counting!). She also speaks three languages: English, Spanish, and French.
