Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Frequent dental examinations keep your child’s smile sparkling and healthy, and are the best preventative measure against tooth and gum disease. It is important to choose a dentist who regularly treats children of many ages, whose dental needs change as they grow older. Dr. Moncada at Windermere Dental Group knows the essential role that fluoride has in early tooth development, for instance, and can recommend orthodontic treatment later in adolescence when tooth alignment is typically corrected. When you bring your child in for their dental examination, you can expect the right care for their specific stage of development...
• X-rays
  We offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments to help you achieve a bright, beautiful smile. During in-office whitening, we will use a peroxide-based whitening gel to break up stains and brighten your smile by several shades. If you are seeking a more convenient option, our cosmetic dentist can provide custom trays and a professional-strength gel so that you can achieve a whiter smile at home. In many cases, patients will undergo in-office whitening and then use a take-home kit to perform touch-ups and extend the results of their treatment. If you are a first-time patient in good oral health, we will even provide a free take-home teeth whitening kit after your examination, dental X-rays, and cleaning.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Dental Cleaning: Regular dental cleanings to fight plaque and clean near tooth roots are essential to a healthy smile.
• Fluoride Treatment
  Fluoride treatment helps protect teeth from decay by strengthening the enamel through remineralization. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in various foods and water. At Windermere Dental Group in Orlando, FL, Dr. Susana Moncada treats patients of all ages and can begin protecting young patients' smiles with fluoride treatments. Professional fluoride treatments can help reverse the early stages of decay by fighting plaque bacteria.
• Dental Sealants
  The team at Windermere Dental Group is focused on using preventative care to help patients maintain healthy smiles and avoid future oral health concerns. By scheduling routine examinations and cleanings at our practice every six months, we can address issues at their earliest stages using minimally invasive treatments. If Dr. Susana Moncada finds that you are at high-risk for decay, we can provide sealants and fluoride treatments to give your teeth an added layer of protection, which is especially beneficial for young patients. We can also demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques to help you take better care of your smile at home.

Restorative

• Fillings
  If the chewing surface of a molar is damaged, it can compromise your dental function and oral health. To repair the tooth, we may recommend an onlay. This restoration is designed to address cracks, chips, or decay that affects one or more cusps, or edges of the tooth surface. An onlay is also beneficial for cavities that extend beyond the cusps, down the side of tooth. Depending upon your needs, we can also replace an old silver amalgam filling with an onlay for a more pleasing appearance.
• Resin Composite
  If Dr. Moncada discovers dental decay during your examination, she may recommend a filling. During treatment, our dentist removes the compromised dental tissue and fills the tooth with a composite resin filling to restore the structure of the tooth and protect against further decay.
• Veneers
  Do chips, cracks, or other cosmetic flaws in your teeth make you feel self-conscious about your appearance? Windermere Dental Group in Orlando, FL, offers porcelain veneers to conceal imperfections and help you achieve the radiant smile you desire.
• Crowns
  Luckily, Dr. Susana Moncada and the team at Windermere Dental Group in Orlando, FL, can treat your tooth and protect it with a custom crown.
• Bridges
  Even a single missing tooth can dramatically age your appearance. Widespread tooth loss can also cause the skin around the mouth to sag and pucker. We offer porcelain bridges to closely mimic natural teeth.
• Dental Bonding
  Dental bonding also allows Dr. Moncada to address both restorative and cosmetic concerns. While this process can transform your chipped or cracked teeth into a radiant smile, from a restorative standpoint, having these gaps could also help patients improve clarity when speaking, as well as their ability to chew.
• Restorative Dentistry
  At Windermere Dental Group, our goal is to provide patients with effective, convenient general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry in a relaxing atmosphere. Our team believes in taking a personal approach, and we have been developing relationships with our patients and their families for more than a decade. In order to determine the most appropriate treatments for you, we will take the time to understand your unique goals and concerns, evaluate your oral health, and also take your financial and lifestyle needs into consideration. Rest assured, Dr. Moncada will only recommend a procedure if she truly believes that it is in your best interests, never pushing an unnecessary or unwanted option.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Root canal therapy is an important dental procedure that can put your oral health back on track, with a healing period that is just as important. The dental professionals at Windermere Dental Group in Orlando, FL, pride themselves on skilled, compassionate care and use advanced CEREC® technology to restore the treated tooth on the same day as the procedure, greatly reducing the time needed for root canal therapy recovery.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  Even if you have straight teeth that are free of decay, neglecting your periodontal (gum) care can compromise the beauty and health of your smile. Gum disease, which develops when bacteria accumulates along oral tissues, can eventually lead to widespread tooth loss and a range of oral health concerns when it is left untreated. Fortunately, Dr. Moncada can address periodontal disease by performing a scaling and root planing procedure. During scaling and root planing, which is also known as a deep cleaning, we will carefully remove plaque from both above and below the gum line. Next, we will smooth rough spots on your dental roots before treating any pockets of bacteria with an antibiotic. In more advanced cases of gum disease, Dr. Moncada can use minimally invasive laser therapy to restore your periodontal health.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Traditional dentures are removable appliances that fit over your gums to restore the function of your smile after tooth loss. Depending on how many teeth you are missing, you may be a candidate for full or partial dentures.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Unlike traditional bridges which are supported by surrounding teeth, implant-supported bridges attach to dental implants for a more natural-looking and stable result. An implant-supported bridge is often recommended when you are missing two or more teeth in a row. At Windermere Dental Group in Orlando, FL, Dr. Susana Moncada can perform implant placement and restore your implants with a custom-made bridge.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  At Windermere Dental Group, your health and safety are our top priorities. We maintain meticulous hygiene protocol to prevent infection. If you suffer from dental anxiety, you may feel apprehensive about full mouth reconstruction. If so, sedation dentistry can help set your mind at ease. Along with local anesthesia, we offer safe, effective nitrous oxide, which is inhaled through the nose. This odorless gas can help you feel deeply relaxed, and wears off very quickly after your appointment. Lastly, Dr. Moncada maintains many years of experience performing oral surgery, and will take into account your unique dental needs, facial dimensions, and goals when designing your treatment plan.
• Tooth Extractions
  Many individuals between the ages of 17 to 25 will need their wisdom teeth removed. Dr. Susana Moncada at our Orlando, FL, office can help you explore wisdom tooth extraction options and decide if this procedure meets your dental needs. In addition to local anesthetic, Windermere Dental Group offers nitrous oxide sedation to manage patients’ anxiety during the procedure. Our skilled and compassionate dental team strives to ensure a smooth, successful, and stress-free wisdom tooth extraction experience.
• Bone Grafting
  Patients must have a sufficient amount of jawbone density to support the embedded posts. If you have experienced extensive bone atrophy, Dr. Moncada may recommend a bone grafting procedure to restore your candidacy.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Both traditional orthodontics and more discreet methods offer many functional and cosmetic benefits for patients who choose to undergo treatment. Correcting misaligned teeth can improve your oral health and prevent the development of more severe problems. Straight teeth are easier to properly clean when brushing and flossing, ensuring that your smile will look its best.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Invisalign Misaligned teeth can block your smile from being as beautiful as possible. They can also lead to health issues. Invisalign is an immensely popular orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth in a discreet manner.
• Braces
  With traditional metal braces, Dr. Moncada can correct a range of alignment issues, including overbite, underbite, cross bite, crowded teeth, and teeth that are spaced too far apart. Braces work by applying consistent pressure to teeth in order to gradually move them into proper alignment over time. Straight teeth can not only dramatically improve the appearance of your smile, they can also provide several benefits to your oral health. Bringing teeth into proper alignment will allow you to care for them more effectively with brushing and flossing. In addition, helping you achieve a proper bite can reduce your risk of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  If your teeth are stained, yellowed, or darker than you would prefer, a teeth whitening treatment can lighten your smile by several shades. Dr. Susana Moncada at Windermere Dental Group offers in-office and at-home teeth whitening options for patients living in the Orlando, FL, area. After evaluating your smile, she can recommend the best solution for your lifestyle, preferences, and level of dental discoloration. A beautifully bright smile can improve not only your confidence but your overall quality of life.
• Cosmetic Dentistry
  When a dentist repairs your damaged and decayed teeth, your smile will be healthier and can become more attractive. In these instances, restorative treatment has some of the benefits of cosmetic dentistry, giving patients a boost in self-confidence.
• General Dentistry
  Poorly spaced teeth can have an effect on the aesthetics of your smile, but they can also lead to more serious issues such as tooth decay and periodontal disease. To help prevent serious complications, and to give you a straighter and more beautiful smile, Dr. Susana Moncada of Windermere Dental Group provides Invisalign® and ClearCorrect™, as well as traditional orthodontics. Located in Orlando, FL, Dr. Moncada uses the latest dental technologies to provide patients with orthodontics and other cosmetic, restorative, and general dentistry treatments.
