“Our primary goal is to save teeth and restore health,” says Dr. Frederic J. Norkin, one of the periodontists at The South Florida Center for Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, where all doctors are board certified in periodontology and dental implant surgery.
An estimated 50 percent of adults in the United States have some degree of periodontal disease, and many don’t even know they have it.
Periodontitis is linked to a number of conditions, including pancreatic cancer, pneumonia, erectile dysfunction, Alzheimer’s disease, pregnancy complications and atherosclerosis. Treatment can be surprisingly quick and painless.
“Our technology permits us to do minimally invasive procedures,” says Dr. Norkin. “We use lasers, dental endoscopes, advanced imaging, robotics, sedation and other methods to maximize comfort and minimize treatment time.”
Adds Dr. Liliana Aranguren: “Sometimes – if too much damage has occurred, teeth are already missing or conditions won’t permit us to keep them – we use dental implants for permanent tooth replacement. This allows patients to smile, kiss and laugh with confidence. They can bite nutritious foods like fresh fruits and crisp vegetables, which are essential for positive outlook, health and vitality.”
The office is known worldwide for reducing treatment time for implant dentistry, often allowing patients to leave with teeth the same day implants are placed.
“We have done this since the mid-1990s with excellent, long-lasting results. We created TeethToday in 2002, long before others discovered this procedure,” says Dr.Jeffrey Ganeles. “As a result, we have a wealth of knowledge and experience and are often called upon to manage complications from others.”
The practice also offers sedation and has a board certified anesthesiologist on staff, which allows them to safely and comfortably offer treatment without anxiety.
“We provide follow-up care and preventive treatment. Patients appreciate the continuity. When they come back, they see the same people.Integrity and experience matter to us and our patients,” says Dr. Samuel Zfaz. “You don’t need your dentist’s referral to see us. Just call for an appointment.”
