Dr. Vivian Menendez
Founder of Art Dental Studio. ADA member, AACD member and Invisalign Preferred Provider. 23 years of cosmetic dentistry and over 3,000 smile transformations completed across our three South Florida locations.
Dentistry treated as art
Dr. Vivian Menendez founded Art Dental Studio in 2003 with a vision that has stayed consistent for over two decades: cosmetic dentistry treated as art, customized to each patient — not pulled from a catalog. The practice has grown from a single location to three South Florida offices, but the standard has remained: every smile designed individually, planned thoroughly, and executed with attention to detail.
What patients consistently remember about Dr. Vivian is the level of personal attention. She conducts her own consultations, reviews every smile design personally, and is present for the placement of every veneer. In an era of dental practices where you rarely see the doctor twice, Art Dental Studio operates differently — and Dr. Vivian is the reason.
Internationally trained, Dr. Vivian earned her Doctor in Dentistry in Havana, Cuba, completed a postgraduate program in prosthodontics, and earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) through the International Dental Graduate Program at Nova Southeastern University. Her professional credentials include membership in the American Dental Association (ADA), the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE) and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), plus Invisalign Preferred Provider status. She has performed over 3,000 smile transformations and treated more than 35,000 patients across her three locations.
Beyond clinical work, Dr. Vivian has built the multi-specialty team that makes Art Dental Studio different: in-house orthodontist Dr. Yilian, endodontist Dr. Ogando, periodontist Dr. Cohen, and master ceramist Enrique who hand-paints every porcelain veneer. Her commitment to keeping all specialties under one roof — never outsourcing — is what allows the practice to deliver consistently natural-looking results.
No two faces are the same. Neither are our smiles. Every patient deserves a design made for them, not a template applied to them.

What makes Dr. Vivian’s approach to smile design different?
She treats cosmetic dentistry as custom art rather than a catalog: every smile is designed individually for the patient’s face, not applied from a template.
