Use your benefits
Your insurance benefits don't carry over into next year
Most dental plans reset on January 1st. Whatever's left in your yearly maximum, used or not, simply disappears. If you have benefits sitting untouched, the months left in this year are the only time you have to put them to work.
Dr. McGuffie created Boca Dental Arts to deliver the one-on-one, dedicated, quality attention you deserve — in an office designed to look and feel different from any dental visit you've had before.
One patient at a time
Our dentists schedule a single patient at a time, so there is virtually no wait and you have their full attention.
Comfort, considered
Leather massage chairs, warm blankets and nitrous oxide on request. You are greeted by name, every visit.
Informing, not selling
Clear explanations and honest options so you can make confident decisions about your care, together.
A former U.S. Army Infantry Paratrooper and electrical engineer, Dr. McGuffie graduated from the University of Florida College of Dentistry with awards in operative dentistry and prosthodontics — and has focused his career on cosmetic and implant dentistry ever since.

Debbie is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and she treats you with genuine kindness that makes you feel truly cared for. The hygienist is also wonderful-pleasant, gentle, and patient.

Lena L.April 2026
“Dr McGuffie, Debbie and Cheyenne are all amazing! I moved from NYC six years ago and Dr. McGuffie was referred to me by my NYC dentist. Dr. McGuffie and his staff have exceeded my expectations. Dr. McGuffie is incredibly skilled and explains every procedure thoroughly. All my visits have been truly painless. I recently had my teeth whitened by Dr. McGuffie and Debbie and the results were truly spectacular. I had this procedure done in NY a couple of times. However, the process at Boca Dental Arts was shorter, more efficient and produced a superior result. I highly recommend this dental practice.”
Charles T.2025

Debbie explained the billing and insurance clearly, there was no ambiguity or feeling like I was being overcharged. The office is clean and modern. They care about their clients and it shows.”
