Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain laminates that are bonded directly to the teeth. They are an option for closing gaps or disguising discolored teeth that do not respond well to whitening procedures. Depending on the procedure, tooth reduction may be necessary.
• Crowns
  Our dental office uses minimally invasive dental therapy. This is the ability to preserve tooth structure with the use of high powered magnification that allows a more conservative therapy. There’s less chance that a crown would be necessary, better chance of avoiding root canal therapy… in short...
• Bridges
  When a missing tooth needs to be replaced, the patient generally has a choice of a fixed bridge, a removable partial denture, possibly an implant-supported tooth, or a bonded-type of bridge (the Maryland Bridge). The obvious advantage of a fixed bridge over a removable denture is that it is both non-removable and more stable. In its simplest form, with one tooth missing and a natural tooth on either side, a bridge is cemented over prepared abutments(abutments: the natural teeth on either side of the empty space, which have been reduced in size to accommodate the bridge). Assuming all procedures are properly performed and the bridge is correctly designed, this prosthesis can and should function for many years.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  In my practice, I perform most endodontic (root canal) procedures — but after years of experience and a policy of accompanying my patients to specialists and observing procedures first hand — my background is solid. When I occasionally run into a problem, I again accompany the patient to a specialist.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  My father’s HMO dentist in Miami had been busy pulling tooth after tooth (I was alarmed in 2014 to learn just how many had been pulled over several years). He’d also made a denture that was still painful after many adjustments over two years.
• Overdentures
  Overdenture implants can come as a fixed denture or as a removable denture. Both types of implant dentures are better than regular dentures for comfort, convenience, and overall health.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  If there is bone loss to the extent that grafts are needed to create a solid foundation for dental implants and tooth replacement, the full-mouth restoration process can stretch out to a year or more. Complete full-mouth restoration usually includes both full arches (top and bottom) and replacement of all teeth with porcelain.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
• Braces
  Tooth reshaping removes parts of the enamel to improve the appearance of the tooth. It may be used to correct a small chip, or to alter the length, shape or position of teeth; it can be used to correct crooked or excessively long teeth. The removed enamel is irreplaceable, and may sometimes expose dentin. It is also known as enameloplasty, odontoplasty, contouring, recontouring, slenderizing, stripping or sculpting. This procedure offers fast results and can even be a substitute for braces under certain circumstances.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Dr. David Vine uses a highly effective method of teeth whitening. It not only guarantees the best results but also takes into account each patient’s individual circumstance.
• Cosmetic Dentistry
  Cosmetic dentistry is generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance (though not necessarily the function) of a person’s teeth, gums and/or bite.
