Dr. Amaya was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia. From a young age, he enjoyed expressing himself through art, and was intrigued by his brother’s ability to take an artistic approach to his own work as a dentist. He also appreciated the noble role of a dentist, and how he could have the ability to improve someone’s overall well-being and extend their lives all through the science of oral care.
Dr. Amaya went to dental school in Bogota and received his degree from Pontificial Javeriana University. From there he worked on various projects for the Colombian government, and eventually made his way to California for further education in the field. Dr. Amaya is a member of the Georgia Dental Association (GDA), the Florida Dental Association (FDA), a certified Invisalign provider, and has also completed the Nova University Implant AAID MaxiCourse®. He is also certified by the Advanced Dentistry Pankey Institute.
Dr. Amaya graduated from Loma Linda University in California in 2005. Following graduation he worked in Atlanta, GA for 5 years and then landed in Miami where he has been practicing on his own terms ever since. He enjoys the warmth and diversity of Miami and all of the growth and opportunities to meet and work with other dental professionals who share his values. Dr. Amaya is committed to the field of dentistry and continuing education, and stays up to date with technological advancements. By regularly attending courses, he passes his own learning onto his patients, and enjoys how taking the time to educate patients can preserve and improve their oral health.
When he’s not practicing, Dr. Amaya enjoys traveling, staying active, going on culinary adventures and exploring and engaging with different cultures.
