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.

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!

Tooth-Colored Fillings Fort Lauderdale, FL

Teeth are meant to be white. When you have decay or damage that needs to be addressed, one of the best solutions is a tooth-colored filling. At Premier Smile Center, we use metal-free fillings, which means your smile looks good and it’s healthy too.

Advantages of Composite Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings are also known as composite fillings. Some of the advantages of this dental restoration include:

Long-lasting
High-quality
Natural-looking
Affordable

Besides checking all the important obvious boxes, white fillings also deliver these major perks:

Protects the tooth from cracking
Bonds directly to the tooth for maximum support
Seals securely to prevent bacterial invasion and decay

You want the dental restoration that will fix your oral health problem, prevent others from developing, and stop any related issues from occurring in the future.

Avoid Silver Fillings

For a long time, silver fillings were the norm. If someone had a cavity, everyone knew about it because that amalgam filling stood out so much. White fillings have saved smiles everywhere.

While composite fillings are not only a more aesthetically appealing dental restoration, they’re safer too, and here’s why:

Biocompatible
Mercury free
Strong
Durable

Over time, silver fillings can threaten the integrity of a tooth since the material used to make the repair expands, not to mention leaches out toxic mercury. White fillings do not stain the gums or threaten the teeth or your oral health in any way.

Many patients are even requesting that their old silver fillings be removed and replaced with healthier, more attractive, long-lasting white fillings.

Other Types of Tooth-Colored Fillings

Dental fillings come in a handful of different forms, but they all do the same thing – preserve a white, natural smile. Here are the options your Fort Lauderdale may recommend:

Composite filling: Usually used for small- or medium-sized cavities, the strong and durable composite fillings preserve as much of the natural tooth as possible and are shaded to look just like natural teeth.
Porcelain filling: A super-large cavity or a cavity that’s on the chewing surface of the tooth may warrant a porcelain filling, which is very strong and stain resistant. If necessary, a porcelain crown may be recommended.
Inlay or onlay: Sometimes referred to as a partial crown, an onlay covers the top of a damaged tooth and extends over one or more cusps of the tooth. An inlay covers just the top of the tooth. Both solutions restore a tooth back to working order and make it look great too.

Problems Fixed by White Fillings

Fillings are not only for cavities. In fact, composite material is used to correct a whole lot more than tooth decay. Fillings are a versatile cosmetic and restorative dentistry solution that can often eliminate the need for more-invasive dental repairs.

White fillings can:

Fix a decayed tooth
Restore cracked or chipped teeth
Prevent decay and deterioration
Fill gapped teeth
Whiten teeth
Replace old fillings

Besides being used to address one problem tooth, white fillings can also stabilize surrounding tooth structure. So that means your entire smile is healthier because of one dental restoration.
