Dr. Augusto Neto, DDS
Hi there
Welcome! I’m Dr. Augusto Neto, a prosthodontist with more than 30 years of practice. I graduated from Universidade de Uberaba, Brazil, in 1994 and practiced for nearly two decades in Brazil before moving to the United States in 2013.
In the US I taught at two dental schools, completed post-graduate training and became licensed in Florida and Illinois. Today I divide my time between teaching dentists and treating patients at Precision Dental Studio, in Coral Gables.
In my courses and in the chair I follow the same principle: complex dentistry cannot be rushed. Small groups, time to practice and real feedback on every preparation.

Training and continuing education
Dr. Neto is a pioneer of hands-on bench test training in the USA, and many instructors teaching bench test courses today were once his students. Small groups, three intensive days, in Miami’s Health District.
Hands-on courses for dentists
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Neto is passionate about teaching. In small-group, hands-on classes he trains dental students, foreign-trained dentists and experienced practitioners with a practical, real-world focus.
Each course is tailored to the needs of the group, so every student leaves with technique they can use on the bench test and in daily practice.
✦A pioneer in bench test hands-on training in the USA.
✦Teacher of teachers: some bench test courses today are taught by his former students.
✦Don’t settle for secondhand learning. Learn directly from the source.
The Bench Test course now has two programs
Bench tests are not all the same: different schools may require different procedures and techniques. Program 1 and Program 2 are both intensive, 3-day, in-person, hands-on courses. Take one based on the procedures you need, or both for broader preparation.
