Serving Margate
A cracked crown, a partial that no longer fits, or a tooth that aches when you bite down are problems we treat every week for adults and seniors in Margate. At Advanced Dentistry of Coral Springs, we provide comprehensive dentistry for teens, adults, and seniors, with a specialty focus on restoring and replacing teeth. Our office is at 2232 N University Drive, Suite B, in Coral Springs, and many of our patients make the trip from Margate for one simple reason: the same dentist plans and completes their care from start to finish.
Dr. Renan Buitrago, DDS, opened this practice in 2014, and he still sees every patient himself. He is a prosthodontist, a dentist with three additional years of specialty training in replacing and restoring teeth. For Margate patients, that means routine visits and more involved treatment happen in one place, with one doctor who knows your history.
His training includes dental degrees from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (2000) and New York University (2008), NYU's Advanced Study Program in Prosthodontics and Dental Implants, and a three-year prosthodontics residency at New York Hospital Queens, affiliated with Cornell University, completed in 2011. He is also a recipient of the Gersten Award. We share these facts so you can see the background behind your care before you choose us.
Most of what we do is everyday dentistry. Our hygienists provide dental cleanings, exams, and preventive care. When a tooth needs repair, we offer fillings, composite bonding, crowns, bridges, and root canal therapy on front teeth, premolars, and molars. We also treat gum disease with scaling and root planing and ongoing periodontal maintenance, and we perform simple and surgical extractions when a tooth cannot be saved.
Tooth replacement is where Dr. Buitrago's specialty training matters most. We make complete and partial dentures, repair or replace dentures you already have, and place dental implants, including implant-supported bridges and implant-supported dentures. When a case calls for bone grafting or full mouth rehabilitation, he plans and restores it in-house rather than sending you elsewhere. Our on-site dental lab also helps us adjust and fine-tune restorations closely. For patients who want to change the look of their smile, we offer porcelain veneers, in-office and take-home teeth whitening, Invisalign, and cosmetic smile-design consultations.
Why Margate Families Make the Drive
Families in Margate tell us they value continuity. Parents, grandparents, and teens can all be seen in our office, and each visit is with Dr. Buitrago. If a cleaning reveals a worn filling or a cracked tooth, the doctor who finds it is the same one who treats it. Here is what that looks like in practice:
- One dentist at every visit, so you never have to re-explain your history
- Specialist-level planning for crowns, dentures, partials, and implants under one roof
- An on-site dental lab that supports careful fitting and adjustments
- Emergency dental appointments when something breaks or hurts unexpectedly
- Oral sedation for patients who feel anxious about treatment
- Spanish-speaking care, since Dr. Buitrago and our team speak Spanish
Many of our Margate patients are seniors managing several needs at once, such as a crown on one side, a loose partial, and a missing tooth they have put off replacing. We take time to explain each option clearly and in plain terms, then help you decide what to do first. Nothing is rushed, and you will know what each step involves before it begins.
Insurance, Financing, and Getting Started
We accept all major PPO insurance plans, and we file claims on your behalf. Because Dr. Buitrago is a prosthodontist, some restorative and replacement treatment may be filed as specialist care, and our front office can walk you through how your plan handles it. We also welcome self-pay patients.
For treatment you would like to spread out over time, we offer CareCredit, 0% and low-interest financing options, and all major credit cards. Our team will review your estimate with you before treatment starts, so the cost and payment plan are clear from the beginning.
You do not need a referral to see us, even for specialty care. Your first visit usually begins with an exam and a conversation about what brought you in, whether that is a routine checkup, an urgent problem, or questions about dentures or implants. From there, Dr. Buitrago will explain what he sees and outline your options.
If you live in Margate and have been looking for a dentist who can handle both your regular care and more complex restorative work, call our office to schedule a visit. We look forward to meeting you and helping you keep your teeth healthy and comfortable.
