Questions (FAQ)

• May I come in without Dental Insurance?

  At The Dental Health Centers, we can provide our own financing options, including treatments for emergencies. We have a variety of financial options that we can modify to better fit your needs. Keep in mind that in most cases we require minimum downpayment. We have the best and most comprehensive dental financial plans in Miami. Feel free to visit or call us for more information regarding our dental financing plans.

• What is the ideal reconstructive option for my smile?

  Dental implants are considered the ideal solution for tooth loss today because of their natural, comprehensive structure and revitalizing benefits that improve both a patient’s oral health and aesthetic quality. However, the time and cost involved can be significant. For this reason, some may prefer traditional dental bridges or dentures as a more economical solution that provides needed stability and structure.

• How do I know if I am suffering from disease?

  Your symptoms will depend on the severity of your current condition. Gingivitis (the initial stage of periodontal disease) is usually characterized by red and swollen gum tissue, as well as oral bleeding that is likely to occur when the patient is brushing and flossing. Alternatively, periodontitis could involve the presence of excessive bad breath, teeth that feel loose or appear longer over time, or even the formation of pockets of pus along the gum line. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact Dental Health Centers to schedule an appointment. Our doctors will also screen for the presence of periodontal disease during your routine evaluations every six months.

• Do you see dental emergencies?

  Yes. Our practice will accommodate emergency cases as soon as possible, and our doctors and team members can also provide valuable first aid assistance over the phone in the interim.

• Can I straighten my smile without traditional metal braces?

  Yes, you can. Customized, clear Invisalign aligners can gradually move teeth towards their ideal positioning without the noticeable use of orthodontic wires and brackets, allowing patients to maintain their self-confidence throughout treatment. Visit our Invisalign page to learn more.

• Where is your office located?

  Dental Health Centers offers two distinct office locations in Pembroke Pines, FL and Miami Lakes, FL, each with their own skilled teams and experienced doctors – Miami Lakes Dental Health Center and Pembroke Pines Dental Health Center.
