This is by far the best dentist in Kendall. I've been living here for more than 20 years, and I have had many prior experiences with other dentists, and never have I had such a good experience. I had a dental implant done here about 2 years ago, and I have no complaints.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I have my teeth cleaned every six months?
Regular professional cleanings every six months play a crucial role in maintaining optimal dental health, regardless of meticulous brushing and flossing habits. Even individuals with excellent oral hygiene can benefit from these cleanings as they target plaque and tartar buildup in hard-to-reach areas that may be missed during daily oral care routines. By effectively removing plaque and tartar, these cleanings help prevent cavities and the development of gum disease. This is particularly important for individuals with less-than-ideal oral hygiene practices, as regular cleanings provide an additional layer of protection for their dental health.
For those prone to faster tartar buildup than average, it may be necessary to increase the frequency of professional cleanings to effectively manage oral health and prevent potential issues.
What are some common preventative dentistry practices?
Common preventative dentistry practices include regular dental check-ups and cleanings, practicing good oral hygiene habits like brushing and flossing daily, and receiving preventative treatments such as fluoride applications and dental sealants. These practices help remove plaque and tartar buildup, strengthen teeth, and protect against tooth decay and gum disease. Education on proper oral hygiene techniques and lifestyle choices also plays a crucial role in preventative dentistry.
How often should I visit the dentist for preventative care?
The frequency of dental visits for preventative care may vary depending on individual oral health needs. However, as a general guideline, it's recommended to visit the dentist for a check-up and cleaning at least every six months. During these visits, your dentist can assess your oral health, detect any potential issues early on, and provide personalized recommendations for maintaining a healthy smile. If you have specific concerns or conditions that require more frequent monitoring, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of fillings are available?
There are two main types of dental filling materials. While they both serve the same purpose of filling in the cavity space they have several differences.
- Amalgam - Amalgam filling (Also known as silver filling) - less expensive than composite, however it is known to last longer than the composite material. Amalgam filling is made from a combination of metals such as silver, tin, copper, and mercury. The main reason patients reject this type of filling is the aesthetics of the dark silver appearance.
- Composite - This is the most common type of filling material. It is made of a combination of resins that can match your tooth color, which makes it a better option for most patients.
Does it hurt to get a filling?
Fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. To prolong the life span of a filling it is paramount to have proper dental hygiene at home. It is important to maintain a regular check-up schedule of two visits per year, this allows us to keep an eye on the condition of your filling(s) and perform proactive repair or replacement if needed.
