Pines Dental Associates

With missing teeth, oral function – enjoyment in eating, clear speaking, and even respiration – can suffer. Gaps in your smile also affect what others think about you and how you see yourself. Dental implants become part of your body, for tooth replacement that can last a lifetime. The entire procedure can be completed on site, at Pines Dental Associates in Pembroke Pines, FL.

A beautiful smile starts with good oral health. Sometimes, though, a little extra enhancement can raise visual appeal to the next level. At Pines Dental Associates in Pembroke Pines, FL, Dr. Milton Ruiz creates personalized cosmetic dentistry strategies to fit any smile improvement need.

“Endodontics” is a medical term that refers to treating the inside of the tooth (“endo” and “odont” are Greek for “inside” and “tooth”). Endodontic treatment, however, is better known as root canal therapy. Modern root canal treatment is nothing to fear. In fact, it may be the only way to preserve a tooth that is damaged by tooth decay or trauma.

Some people have 32 naturally beautiful, straight, white teeth. Most of us are not so fortunate. Over time we develop cavities, chips, fractures, discoloration, and gaps. With a full range of restorative dentistry techniques at Pines Dental Associates in Pembroke Pines, FL, Dr. Milton Ruiz can correct most dental problems. In his experienced hands, restorative dental care is not just about fixing teeth – it’s about restoring confident smiles.

Pines Dental Associates has cultivated relationships with generations of families from Pembroke Pines, FL and the surrounding area for more than a quarter of a century. Led by Dr. Milton Ruiz, our team is privileged to play an important role in each family member’s health and well-being. Ideally, that “journey” starts at a young age, as soon as the first tooth erupts or by no later than a baby’s first birthday. However, if it has been a while since your child has seen a dentist, there is no time like the present to get on the right track. Pediatric dentistry at our office is non-judgmental, gentle, friendly, and of the highest quality. We suggest the most conservative methods to resolve problems or maintain a child’s oral health. The less invasive the techniques or treatments, the better off your child will be. These approaches are generally better tolerated by (and less traumatic to) the patient. They also preserve natural tissues, which further supports lasting health, and the most lifelike appearance and function for restorations.

Who knows your teeth better than the dental practice who sees them twice a year for exams and whenever you experience an oral problem? That makes Pines Dental Associates a great choice for orthodontic treatment, too. For more than 25 years, Dr. Milton Ruiz and his team have been helping patients of all ages from Hollywood to Cooper City, Miramar, and Pembroke Pines, FL smile with comfort and confidence.
