Periodontics and Implant Dentistry
Implementing the most advanced, state-of-the-art technology to treat their patients has helped the team of board-certified professionals at the South Florida Center for Periodontics & Implant Dentistry predictably achieve the highest level of long-lasting positive outcomes and patient satisfaction. For example, the practice was the first in the world to offer YOMI® robotic-assisted surgery, the first and only FDA-approved robotic system designed for dental implant surgery.
More important than having this technology is knowing how to use it, explains Dr. Jeffrey Ganeles, an experienced periodontist and dental implant surgeon — and one of five dentists who comprise the Boca Raton practice. The others are Dr. Frederic Norkin, Dr. Liliana Aranguren, Dr. André DeSouza and Dr. Samuel Zfaz. Dr. Eitan Gross is the practice’s board-certified dental anesthesiologist.
“What goes into that [skilled technology usage] is experience, wisdom, education and a real focus on maintaining our integrity,” he says. “Our practice is different from others in that our focus is really on maintaining healthy teeth and smiles. If we can’t do that, we create new smiles with implant dentistry.”
In addition to YOMI® robotic-guided implant surgery, the dentists utilize minimally invasive gum and bone generation, Piezosurgery® bone surgery, LANAP® laser-assisted gum surgery, digital intraoral scanners, 3D printing, DentallmplanTM patient education software and T-scan® digital bite analysis. Cosmetic/esthetic procedures include crown lengthening and lip repositioning and gummy smile correction. “And let’s not forget that we created Teeth Today®, a method that has our patients leaving the office with new teeth on their implants, regardless of the condition they came in with,” says Dr. Norkin.
Patients are appreciative of all of the innovative, cutting-edge technology, as well as the expert care they receive at South Florida Center for Periodontics & Implant Dentistry. “We know how our patients feel about us because we have thousands of online reviews, with most being five stars,” Dr. Aranguren points out. “They say that they feel well-cared for, and that our team is very focused on positive experiences. Despite the fact that we’re a large practice, we work hard to provide individualized care.”
The doctors are also extremely aware of how oral health affects general health and are very tied into the medical community to make sure they optimize their patients’ overall health and well-being.
“And we’re accessible 24/7,” says Dr. DeSouza. “Specialty dental offices are disappearing around the country, but we’re thriving. I think it’s because of the attention to customer service and value we provide to our patients and other dentists with whom we collaborate.”
As a practice, the South Florida Center for Periodontics & Implant Dentistry has been a part of the community for 60 years, established in 1963. The center will be expanding in its current location this summer.
“We have a great specialized facility with every imaginable piece of equipment,” Dr. Ganeles adds. “We will continue to attract the very best of doctors and team members.”
