Getting started

Call us to schedule your free consultation. You will receive a professional evaluation of your smile, including tooth color, size, shape and proportion.

The consultation includes a “smile preview” that allows you to see in advance — before any work is done — how much your smile will improve. Sometimes, even a small correction can make a big difference.

There is no obligation. Call 954-781-6170

How much does it cost?

The costs of cosmetic procedures vary, but you can be sure you will be getting considerable value. As part of your free consultation, the costs will be spelled out and financial arrangements discussed.

In many cases, the procedures can be done in stages so that you can see an immediate benefit — and schedule future work so it has minimal financial impact.

The important thing to remember is that we work with you — on scheduling and the financial aspects of your treatment.

Proper brushing takes at least two minutes — that’s right, 120 seconds! Most adults do not come close to brushing that long. To get a feel for the time involved, try using a stopwatch. To properly brush your teeth, use short, gentle strokes, paying extra attention to the gumline, hard-to-reach back teeth and areas around fillings, crowns or other restoration. Concentrate on thoroughly cleaning each section as follows:

• Clean the outer surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
• Clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
• Clean the chewing surfaces
• For fresher breath, be sure to brush your tongue, too

What Type of Toothbrush Should I Use?
Most dental professionals agree that a soft-bristled brush is best for removing plaque and debris from your teeth. Small-headed brushes are also preferable, since they can better reach all areas of the mouth, including hard-to-reach back teeth. For many, a powered toothbrush is a good alternative. It can do a better job of cleaning teeth, particularly for those who have difficulty brushing or who have limited manual dexterity.

How Important is the Toothpaste I Use?
It is important that you use a toothpaste that’s right for you. Today there is a wide variety of toothpaste designed for many conditions, including cavities, gingivitis, tartar, stained teeth and sensitivity.

How Often Should I Replace My Toothbrush?
You should replace your toothbrush when it begins to show wear, or every three months, whichever comes first. It is also very important to change toothbrushes after you’ve had a cold, since the bristles can collect germs that can lead to reinfection.
