Serving Pompano Beach
Advanced Dentistry of Coral Springs provides comprehensive dental care for adults and seniors in Pompano Beach, from cleanings and fillings to crowns, bridges, partials and dentures. Every visit is with Dr. Renan Buitrago, DDS, a prosthodontist who has owned and run our office at 2232 N University Drive, Suite B, in Coral Springs since 2014. A prosthodontist is a dentist with three additional years of specialty training in replacing and restoring teeth. For Pompano Beach patients, that means routine care and complex restorative work come from the same doctor, in the same office.
The most common question we hear from Pompano Beach patients is simple: why drive to Coral Springs when there are dental offices closer to home? The answer usually comes down to continuity. We are a solo practice. You see Dr. Buitrago at your exam, at your crown appointment, and at your follow-up. You will not be passed between providers or asked to repeat your history to someone new.
The second reason is what happens when a case gets complicated. In many offices, a cracked molar, a failing bridge or a loose partial leads to a referral elsewhere. Here, Dr. Buitrago plans and restores those cases in-house. His training includes DDS degrees from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (2000) and New York University (2008), NYU's advanced program in prosthodontics and dental implants, and a three-year prosthodontics residency at New York Hospital Queens, affiliated with Cornell, completed in 2011. He is also a recipient of the Gersten Award. When a case calls for another specialist, he coordinates the treatment plan directly.
Most Pompano Beach patients come to us for everyday care first. Our hygienists handle dental cleanings, exams and preventive visits. Dr. Buitrago treats cavities with fillings and composite bonding, restores damaged teeth with crowns, and replaces missing teeth with bridges. When a tooth is infected, we provide root canal therapy on front teeth, premolars and molars. Gum disease is treated with scaling and root planing, followed by periodontal maintenance visits to keep it under control.
We also see many seniors from Pompano Beach who need partials and dentures. We make new complete and partial dentures, and we repair or replace existing ones. Because we have an on-site dental lab, adjustments can often be handled without sending work out and waiting. For patients who want more stability, Dr. Buitrago offers implant-supported dentures, implant-supported bridges and single dental implants. That includes bone grafting when needed, and more extensive options such as full-arch implants and full mouth rehabilitation. Cosmetic care includes porcelain veneers, in-office and take-home whitening, smile makeovers and Invisalign.
What Pompano Beach Patients Can Expect
Many people put off dental care because of anxiety, past experiences or uncertainty about what treatment involves. We start with a thorough exam and a clear conversation about what we see and what your options are. Nothing moves forward until you understand the plan. For patients who feel nervous, we offer oral sedation dentistry.
If something goes wrong between visits, such as a broken tooth, a lost crown or sudden pain, call us. We offer emergency dental appointments and will work to see you promptly. Here is what a typical first visit looks like:
- A conversation about your dental history, concerns and goals
- A complete dental exam with Dr. Buitrago
- A review of any existing crowns, bridges, partials or dentures
- A written treatment plan with options explained in plain language
- A review of your insurance benefits and payment choices with our front office team
Dr. Buitrago and our team also speak Spanish, so Spanish-speaking households in Pompano Beach can discuss care comfortably in either language.
Insurance, Financing and Getting Started
We accept all major PPO insurance plans, and our team files claims on your behalf. Because Dr. Buitrago is a prosthodontist, we file insurance claims as a specialist where that applies. We also welcome self-pay patients. You do not need a referral to schedule with us, even for specialty restorative care.
For treatment that goes beyond what insurance covers, we offer several ways to spread out the cost. We accept CareCredit, offer 0% and low-interest financing options, and take all major credit cards. Our front office team will walk through your estimate before treatment begins so you know what to expect.
Getting started is simple. Call our office to schedule an exam, and let us know if you have a specific concern, a denture that no longer fits, or a tooth that is bothering you. Bring your insurance information and a list of any medications you take. Whether you need a routine cleaning or a plan to restore several teeth, Pompano Beach patients can count on seeing the same prosthodontist from the first appointment to the last.
