People usually call us with the same handful of questions: what we treat, which office to visit, how implants work, whether Snap-On Smile is like veneers, and what to do when a tooth breaks on a Saturday. This page answers those first.
Making Awesome Smiles has offices in Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, and Royal Palm Beach. New patients are welcome. If you already have records or a treatment plan from another office, bring what you have and we will start from there.
What does Making Awesome Smiles treat?
Preventive care, cleanings, gum treatment, fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, dentures, implants, full-arch implant teeth, veneers, bonding, whitening, smile design, clear aligners, Snap-On Smile, oral cancer screenings, and same-day emergency visits when we can get you in.
The point is to keep as much of your care in one place as we reasonably can, instead of sending you across town for every next step.

Family members can usually be seen in the same practice. Needs still vary person to person, so we plan each visit separately.
What happens at a first visit?
We want to know what is bothering you and what you want changed. Most first visits include an exam, images when they are needed, and a plan you can actually follow. If you are coming for a second opinion, say that when you book so we set the visit up that way.
How often you come back depends on your gums, your risk for decay, and what treatment you already have in place. Six months is common. Some people need closer follow-up.
Cleanings and gums
Regular cleanings take off tartar you cannot get at home and give us a chance to catch small problems early. Bleeding when you brush or floss is usually inflammation. It is not something to ignore if it keeps happening.
Gum disease is infection and inflammation around the teeth. Left alone, it can take down bone and loosen teeth. We evaluate and treat it based on what we find, not a one-size protocol.
Emergencies
Call the nearest office. We treat urgent pain, swelling, cracked or broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and trauma when a chair is open.
A toothache that comes and goes is still worth checking. Pain that eases for a day does not always mean the tooth healed.
A broken tooth is not always a crown. Sometimes bonding or a filling is enough. If the nerve is involved, that changes the plan.
Emergency care in Boca Raton
Snap-On Smile®
This is a custom, removable appliance that fits over your remaining teeth. No drilling. No shots. It can hide gaps, worn teeth, and stains, and some patients use it while they heal or while they decide on a longer-term plan. Making Awesome Smiles is an exclusive Snap-On Smile provider.

Crowns, bridges, and other restorative work
A bridge can fill a space by using the teeth on either side. Crowns can rebuild damaged teeth so they can support a plan. See Restorative Dentistry and Smile Design.
Cosmetic and smile planning
If the missing tooth is also changing how you feel in photos or at work, the plan can include shape, shade, and how the new tooth sits with the rest of the smile. Start here: Cosmetic Dentistry.
None of these is a menu you pick from a flyer. We look at the mouth, the bite, the bone, and what you actually need to eat and look like yourself again.
When one missing tooth becomes several
The first gap makes chewing uneven. The second and third make people avoid more foods. A whole section of missing back teeth can turn meals into soft food only. Full tooth loss makes traditional dentures a daily project for a lot of patients, and chewing force drops a lot compared with natural teeth or implant-supported teeth. That is why we talk about replacement early. Not to scare you. To keep the problem from stacking.
