"I have not seen such a wonderful & amazing staff. Excellent care each time & very accommodating with scheduling appointment. Thank you all.”
“Great folks to deal with when you dislike going to the dentist as much as I do. They really know how to make the experience as good as it can be. Tracy is the best RDH that I have ever had!”
“What an awesome office! My family highly recommended it to me, and they weren't wrong. The whole staff was so kind, friendly, and professional, and the office environment was so welcoming.”
Rather than just telling you what is going on in your mouth, Dr. Makwana will give you a “backstage tour” of your smile using an iTero scanner, enabling you to see exactly what he is talking about.

You want the best care possible for you and your family, so it’s only natural that you might have plenty of questions! While we can’t account for every single query that could be on your mind, we can start by answering some frequently asked questions below. If you don’t quite get all the information you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to give us a call.
If you’re experiencing a severe toothache, chronic jaw pain, dental damage, or other such urgent matter, contact us right away! Our compassionate team will help you arrange an emergency appointment, which could be scheduled as soon as the same day of your call.
While it’s often quicker and more convenient to see a dentist for dental emergencies, you should always dial 911 for life-threatening problems. We can schedule you for a prompt appointment in our office, but unlike 911, we don’t have access to an ambulance or life-saving care!
The exact out-of-pocket cost of a dental check-up and cleaning could depend on the state of your oral health, but on average, these appointments cost between $200 and $350 in the US.
Fortunately, if you have dental insurance, it’s possible that your benefits will cover 100% of expenses for two check-ups and cleanings each year. And if you don’t have dental insurance, we might still be able to help you save money. Don’t be afraid to ask us for more details about your financial options or for assistance with deciphering your dental insurance!
The average treatment time for Invisalign clear aligners is 12 – 18 months. Compared to braces, which have an average of 2 – 3 years, that’s pretty fast! Still, this estimation assumes that you wear your aligners as instructed by Dr. Makwana. Patients who don’t properly care for their Invisalign or who don’t wear them for 22 hours per day could very well experience prolonged treatment timelines.
Another factor to consider, though, is the severity of your dental misalignment. Teeth that are significantly crooked might take longer to straighten out. Sometimes, pearly whites are also just stubborn. If they don’t respond to the Invisalign aligners as predicted, Dr. Makwana may need to adjust your treatment plan.
Yes; in fact, Dr. Makwana will screen your mouth for oral cancer at every checkup and cleaning visit. It might also reassure you to know that while receiving advanced dental training at the University of Florida, Dr. Makwana focused on treating cancer patients. His unique experience definitely gives him an advantage when it comes to spotting and diagnosing this scary illness.
Not many realize this, but you can be at risk of oral cancer even if you don’t smoke. That’s part of why we emphasize regular check-ups and cleaning visits. With diligent monitoring and Dr. Makwana’s expert examinations, you stand a much better chance of catching oral cancer early, when it’s still easily treatable.
