Two crossings
From Biscayne Boulevard by Aventura Mall, take the William Lehman Causeway to Collins Avenue, then head south on Collins to the office. From the south of Aventura, Sunny Isles Boulevard (NE 163rd Street) is the other crossing; turn north on Collins Avenue and the office is a few blocks up.
Tell the front desk where you are starting from and we will suggest a time that avoids the worst of the traffic. The building has parking for visitors.
Implants and full arches
Dr. Baruch Tetri, a periodontist, places implants and does any bone grafting himself, and the crown or bridge is designed in our laboratory down the hall. A three-dimensional scan shows the bone, the nerve and the sinus before surgery.
For a whole jaw, All-on-X carries a fixed arch on four to six implants, and for the right patient fixed temporary teeth are placed on the day of surgery. Whether that is possible is decided during surgery, not promised before it.
Veneers and smile design
A smile design starts with a diagnosis and ends with a trial mock-up on your own teeth, so you see the proposed shape in the mirror before any enamel is touched. Porcelain veneers are made by our own laboratory, and because Dr. Tetri is a periodontist, the gum line is planned with the teeth.
Sedation, for an implant or for a cleaning
Sedation is available for any adult treatment, even a cleaning, if you would feel more comfortable, after a medical review, where our permits and team allow. For a long implant or full-arch visit, ask about it at the consultation; Dr. Tetri recommends a level, or none. An adult escort drives you home across the causeway. How sedation works here.
Children, on the weekend
From November 25, Aventura families can bring their children on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, when our pediatric partner, Dr. Danielle A. Beaudoin, DDS, sees children in Suite 701. A parent stays in the room. See pediatric dentistry.
Questions patients ask
Is there a dentist closer to me in Aventura?
Probably, for a routine check-up. Patients cross to us for a periodontist’s care, for implant and cosmetic work planned and made in one place, and to be seen in English or Russian.
Which crossing should I take?
From Biscayne Boulevard by Aventura Mall, the William Lehman Causeway; from the south of Aventura, Sunny Isles Boulevard. The front desk can suggest the better one for your time of day.
Can implants be placed under sedation?
Yes, after a medical review, where our permits and team allow. The implant is placed under local anesthetic; sedation keeps you calm and drowsy, and you need an adult escort home.
Do I need to know whether I need implants or veneers?
No. Tell us the problem; the treatment name comes after the diagnosis.
