Everything I have had done at Premier Smile Center has been top-notch. The treatment I received was thorough, precise and extremely professional. I never felt like just another patient because they took the time to listen to my concerns. They addressed my issues and we agreed on the treatment plan together.

The staff is very friendly, warm and extremely knowledgeable. I felt relaxed and comfortable knowing I chose the right place to get the dental work I needed. Dr. Johnson is very humane and very knowledgeable, and she does amazing work. I like the friendliness and honesty of the whole practice. I was not confident with my smile, in fact I was very self conscious and rarely smiled. Premier Smile Center has changed all that. My smile is one of the things I like the most.

I was terrified to receive a root canal, but I knew it had to be done. After meeting with Dr. Johnson and Dr. Bui, I felt better about the procedure. They educated me on the process. I was comfortable and had no pain—which was my biggest worry. I love coming to the office. Everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable. The doctors and staff educate you on what they are doing and why it is needed.

The dentist was a place I visited only when I desperately needed to, and now I’m in the office every few months. I don’t live near the office anymore, but as long as they’re there, I will be driving over to Fort Lauderdale. Thanks to Premier Smile Center, I now have healthy, pearly white and almost perfectly straight teeth.

When I first came to the practice, my teeth were in terrible condition. From the beginning to the end of my treatment, Dr. Johnson and her entire practice were outstanding, professional and extremely understanding of my needs. Dr. Johnson is honest and very hands-on, and the practice feels like a family and not a factory. Thanks to Dr. Johnson, I now have a great smile.

Coming to Premier Smile Center was a life-changing experience for me. Although I was a registered nurse, I had the worst teeth ever—a missing tooth, discolored teeth and a crooked smile. Dr. Johnson explained to me in detail how she could give me a beautiful smile. She and her staff have been truly supportive and non-judgmental about my teeth. Dr. Johnson is compassionate, understanding and a joy to talk to, and the staff are friendly, efficient and caring. They encouraged me to go on when I was feeling down, and now I can smile confidently.

The treatment I received has greatly increased my self-esteem. I can smile and laugh unashamedly and join into a group conversation, and not just be a passive listener. I also have better health and nutrition. It is the best investment I have ever made for myself.

Premier Smile Center has always treated me like family, and my experience as a patient of Dr. Johnson’s has been nothing but satisfactory. Dr. Johnson is brilliant, and the practice is clean, friendly and professional. Before I came to the office, the condition of my teeth was depressing. As a result of my treatment, I have more confidence and less anxiety associated with a messed-up mouth.

Clayton
Before coming to Premier Smile Center, I had not been to a dentist in some time. I needed some periodontal work done, fillings and wisdom tooth extractions. What initially struck me was the warm welcome I received from the front office staff, and I had virtually no wait time before I was greeted by Dr. Johnson. She was incredibly professional and explained everything she was doing as she conducted the initial exam. She made her recommendations and scheduled a return visit to repair some fillings and pull two wisdom teeth.

What was truly amazing was that within 24 hours Dr. Johnson herself called to check on me and asked how my experience was. My wisdom tooth extractions went flawlessly, and I experienced very little bleeding and no pain during or after the procedure. Again, Dr. Johnson called me afterward to check how I was doing. I like Dr. Johnson’s warm and sincere concern for her patients, and I also like her professional staff. I am always impressed by the warm, professional nature of everyone in the office.

Daniel
From the moment I arrived at Premier Smile Center over a year ago, Dr. Johnson and her entire staff have been amazing. Needless to say, anytime you have a cosmetic procedure done there will be nerves and lots of questions. Within minutes into my initial consultation, these concerns subsided. Unlike other dental practices I have been to, Dr. Johnson took her time and explained what I should expect from beginning to end with Invisalign. I continue to receive compliments on my smile every day. I love it! I have already and would recommend her again to anyone I know. A huge thank you to Dr. Johnson and the Premier Smile Center staff for making my experience fabulous!

When you are living with missing or broken-down teeth, these problems are not only cosmetic they’re functional. If you want to feel confident when you bite, chew better, and have a nicer smile, it’s time to talk to Dr. Charmaine Johnson at Premier Smile Center in Fort Lauderdale about whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.

Facts About Dental Implants

There are many possible reasons for missing or deteriorating teeth – poor oral health, gum disease, aging, an accident, a sports injury, a fall, and more. No matter what causes the hole in a smile, there have always been reliable solutions to replace missing teeth, like dental bridges and dentures.

Dental implants are the modern repair that looks, feels, and works just like natural teeth, and it is has become the restoration of choice for many patients. Thanks to dental implants, so many people have improved their confidence and quality of life.

Here are some important facts to know about implants:

Super-strong: Implants are artificial tooth roots made with quality construction. A titanium post is surgically implanted in the jawbone and a crown is attached to the post.
Permanent: Once in place, dental implants are there for good. They do not require adhesives and live in your jaw permanently.
Versatile: A dental implant can work alone as a one-tooth replacement, or it can be used with a dental bridge or serve as the anchor for dentures to replace multiple missing teeth at one time. Not every missing tooth needs an implant – as few dental implants as possible are used to support a restoration through the All-On-4 procedure or Teeth in a Day.
Helpful: When one tooth is missing and doesn’t get replace, neighboring teeth are in danger of shifting out of place in the mouth, damaging tissue, threatening alignment, and affecting your smile. The presence of implants solidifies nearby teeth and makes them stronger.
Transformative: Dental implants allow you to chew properly and once again enjoy the foods you love. They also impact your appearance, eliminating any sagging or hollow areas where the missing tooth was and instead leaving behind a stimulated jawbone that helps maintain your face shape and keep you looking younger.

The Dental Implant Procedure

Once your dentist has evaluated bone and gum tissue and confirmed whether a bone graft is necessary, the dental implant procedure takes place over several visits to your Fort Lauderdale dentist over several months. Here is what to expect:

Surgery: The implants is placed in the jawbone under sedation and numbing agents. The post and a temporary tooth are also fixed temporarily.
Healing:It can take several months for the surgical area to heal and the implant to integrate fully in the jawbone.
Fitting:The temporary crown is removed and a permanent artificial tooth is fitted for a permanent, natural-looking dental restoration.
