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!

Preventive Dentistry Fort Lauderdale, FL

Every effort you make to take good care of your teeth and gums is considered preventive dentistry. Some of these tasks you carry out on your own, like daily brushing and flossing, but most preventive dentistry measures require the support and expertise of a professional dental office. Rely on Dr. Charmaine Johnson and her dental team at Premier Smile Center in Fort Lauderdale to help you keep your teeth healthy and beautiful.

Professional Teeth Cleanings

It is recommended that everyone have a professional teeth-cleaning every six months to maintain good oral health and keep teeth free from decay, infection, and other problems. Your dental hygienist can see and reach areas of your mouth that you cannot and has the tools to meticulously care for your teeth in carrying out the following tasks:

Remove plaque and tartar
Polish
Floss
Take digital x-rays (as needed)

These visits are also an opportunity to discuss the best oral health products and techniques you can use at home to properly maintain your teeth in between dental cleanings, from toothbrushes to toothpaste, floss to mouthwash. For children, fluoride treatments and sealants are applied during these appointments.

Dental Exams

Every teeth cleaning is accompanied by a thorough dental exam performed by your Fort Lauderdale dentist. During this exam, your mouth will be checked for:

Tooth decay
Gum disease
Damaged dental work
Deteriorating teeth
Gum recession

Your dentist will also review any x-rays that may have been taken and go over any changes to your oral health or medical history since your last visit. This is the time to discuss any questions or concerns you have about everything from tooth pain to grinding your teeth, or talk about whether you’re a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, or other treatments.

Oral Cancer Screenings

During your dental exam, you will receive an oral cancer screening. This examination is brief, but it is incredibly important. Early signs of oral cancer are hard to spot to the untrained eye. Without your dentist’s observations, this problem can go undiagnosed for far too long and threaten your well-being. Your oral cancer screening includes an examination of your entire mouth, including:

Tongue
Cheeks
Palate
Lips
Floor of the mouth
Neck
Tonsils

When problems are recognized early, treatment can begin early, preventing oral cancer from becoming a serious and potentially fatal condition.

Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease is a slow-growing oral health problem. Though the untrained eye can have a hard time spotting this infection in its early stages, your dentist will see the signs. If you see your dentist regularly, you should never suffer from a severe case of gum disease because the problem will be noticed and addressed right away.

Whatever stage of gum disease you might be in, periodontal therapy is necessary to stop the progression of this chronic disease and get your oral health back to working order. Periodontal disease is the top cause of tooth loss in adults, but it doesn’t have to be. Deep cleaning under the gum line, antibiotics, and laser treatments can reset the foundation of your oral health and give you a strong smile once again.

Preventive Dentistry Measures in Fort Lauderdale

It is your job to take care of your teeth and gums at home, and by seeing your dentist twice a year. Take an active role in your oral health and you’ll never have to worry about major dental problems interfering with your life or budget.

Brush at least twice a day
Floss daily
Get a customized nightguard if you grind your teeth
Use a fitted mouthguard if you play contact sports
Be careful when eating foods that could harm teeth and enamel, like acids and hard foods
Do not smoke or use tobacco products
See your dentist immediately when you have tooth pain
