Choosing a dentist involves more than selecting the closest office. Patients may also consider the dentist’s training, the range of care available, how treatment options are explained, and whether the practice can coordinate several dental needs in one location.
South Florida Dental Care offers preventive, restorative, cosmetic, implant, and prosthodontic care from its established Hollywood office. This allows patients to receive routine care while also having access to treatment for more complicated restorative concerns when necessary.
Not every dental problem requires extensive treatment. Our dentists evaluate the teeth, gums, supporting structures, existing restorations, and bite before recommending care. When a conservative option is appropriate, the objective is to address the condition while preserving healthy tooth structure. When several reasonable options are available, we explain what each treatment involves and the practical differences patients should consider.
Dr. Leonardo Frydman is a prosthodontist with advanced education in restoring and replacing teeth. His background is particularly relevant when treatment involves dental implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, extensive tooth wear, bite concerns, or a more comprehensive reconstruction.
A prosthodontic perspective can also be valuable when planning a single restoration. A repaired or replaced tooth must function alongside the patient’s remaining teeth and within the existing bite.
Dr. Gabriela Cohen provides general, restorative, and cosmetic dental care. Her background includes advanced education in general dentistry and additional training in operative and cosmetic dentistry.
Dr. Cohen uses an individualized and conservative approach when addressing oral health, function, and cosmetic concerns. Treatment recommendations are based on the condition of the tooth and what the patient would like to accomplish rather than applying the same solution to everyone.

Preventive care helps patients maintain healthy teeth and gums and allows the dental team to monitor changes over time. Regular examinations and professional dental hygiene visits can identify concerns before they become more difficult to manage.
The appropriate examination, cleaning, or maintenance schedule depends on the individual patient. Someone with a history of periodontal disease may require a different schedule from a patient with healthy gums and no significant dental concerns.
Preventive care may include:
Patients with gum inflammation, bone loss, or a history of periodontal disease can learn more about our approach to periodontal health.
Teeth can be weakened by decay, fractures, extensive wear, large fillings, or previous dental treatment. The appropriate restoration depends on how much healthy tooth structure remains, the location of the damage, and the forces placed on the tooth during biting and chewing.
A relatively limited area may be repaired with a tooth-colored restoration. A tooth requiring additional coverage may benefit from a porcelain onlay or overlay. When more comprehensive protection is needed, a custom dental crown may be considered.
The smallest restoration is not automatically the most conservative choice if it leaves the tooth vulnerable to another fracture. Likewise, a crown is not automatically necessary when enough healthy structure remains to support a more limited restoration. An examination is required to determine the appropriate level of coverage.
Missing teeth may affect appearance, chewing, speech, neighboring teeth, and the distribution of biting forces. The available replacement options depend on the number and location of missing teeth, the condition of the remaining teeth, gum and bone health, medical considerations, and patient priorities.
Possible treatments may include a fixed dental bridge, a removable dental prosthesis, or a dental implant restoration. Each approach has different requirements, advantages, limitations, and maintenance needs.
When several teeth are damaged, worn, or missing, treatment may need to be coordinated as part of a full mouth rehabilitation. This does not refer to one standard procedure. It is a treatment-planning process that may combine several appropriate procedures to improve oral health, comfort, and function.
Cosmetic dentistry can address concerns involving tooth color, shape, proportion, spacing, visible wear, and older restorations that no longer blend naturally. Treatment begins with an evaluation of the teeth and gums and a discussion of what the patient would like to improve.
Depending on the concern, options may include:
Not every cosmetic concern requires veneers or extensive dental work. Whitening or conservative bonding may be sufficient for some patients. Other patients may benefit from porcelain restorations or a coordinated combination of cosmetic and restorative treatment.
Our goal is to explain what each procedure can realistically accomplish, what it requires, and how it may affect the natural tooth. Cosmetic treatment should complement the patient’s features and oral health rather than make every smile look the same.
Healthy teeth and gums are important to the appearance, comfort, and longevity of dental treatment. Active decay, gum inflammation, infection, uncontrolled grinding, or an unstable bite may need to be addressed before elective cosmetic treatment begins.
This is particularly important when several procedures are being considered. For example, whitening may need to occur before a new crown or veneer is shade-matched. Periodontal treatment may need to precede a restoration if gum inflammation affects the treatment area.
Planning the sequence of care helps reduce avoidable compromises and creates a more stable foundation for the final result.
Some patients postpone dental care because of anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, difficulty becoming numb, embarrassment about the condition of their teeth, or an unpleasant previous experience. Tell our team about these concerns when scheduling and again during your visit.
We can discuss ways to make your care more manageable. Depending on the patient’s health and the planned procedure, sedation dentistry may be considered. Sedation is not automatically appropriate for every patient, and an evaluation is required.
Aventura patients can visit our Hollywood office for care that may include:

Your visit begins with a conversation about your concerns, dental history, previous experiences, and treatment priorities. Your dentist will examine the relevant teeth, gums, existing dental work, and bite before recommending treatment.
Depending on the reason for your visit, the evaluation may include dental images, photographs, impressions, or digital records. These records help the dentist diagnose the condition, explain the available options, and plan treatment more accurately.
