Why People Love Pine Avenue Smiles

Adara G.

Great experience, which is not easy to come by for a Dental office. The staff were all so kind and friendly. The Dr. is amazing. He took his time to talk to me about any issues I may have. He never rushed throughout the appointment and gave me many options as to what I wanted or needed. You can tell they really care about their patients and aren't trying to just rush you out. My cleaning was great and the hygienist was very thorough with cleaning.

Tracy T.

Dr.Pan and his entire staff are truly an amazing group of individuals. Professional, compassionate and talented. My boys and I have had nothing but excellent and accommodating service around our crazy schedule!

Denisse W.

Dr Pan is an excellent dentist. Very professional but also very kind. I have a lot of dental problems and he is working very hard on the least invasive solutions to preserve my teeth, but at the same time fixing what's going on now. I can definitely recommend him and really appreciate him and his entire staff.

Paula B.

I just got finished getting 8 new crowns on my top front teeth at Pine Avenue Smiles. Dr. Pan took great care of me at all my appointments in this process and was ever so diligent in striding for perfection. I LOVE my new smile. what a great job. i really cannot express how happy i am with the results. Michelle, Melissa, Louisa and every other staff member are the best people ever! The people who work at this office are all like family to each other and they make the patients feel like family! I am a pine avenue smiles girl for life!

Jessica G.

Dr. Pan is the best! He was very thorough in explaining the options for my treatment and answered all my questions. His staff always greeted me and introduced themselves in our interactions, making sure that I was doing well throughout my visit. I’ve had pretty extensive dental work in the past and I must say, I didn’t feel any pain during my visit when Dr. Pan did my local anesthesia. I can’t recommend him enough!

JoAnne L.

I had 2 dental implants inserted in my jaw. It was very easy to my surprise. I did not feel any pain during the procedure and very little after. Dr. Pan is kind, warm, and explains the procedure very well. The team worked well together also. I fully recommend this dental practice to all.

Dessaline

Amazing experience overall. When I walked in Melissa greeted me with a smile and offered me everything but a steak from Burns. She was really sweet and welcoming. As I made my way back when called everyone greeted me with a smile. Linda took my xrays and reassured me that I was in good hands. The highlight of it all was Dr. Pan fixing my chipped tooth. He really took his time and it was a painless process. My tooth came out perfect with the exact shade of my other teeth. Can’t say enough about this place. If you’re in Oldsmar area this is definitely the place to visit. I traveled from Hernando county just for this experience. Thanks Pine Avenue Smiles!

Everyone at Pine Avenue from Melissa to Cathy to Dr. Pan are so personable and professional. They all do a wonderful job and I couldn’t be happier with this dentist! Highly recommend!

David E.

Dr. Pan and Fam have a clear and concise method to dental care. I’ve experienced a few services in their portfolio and have been happy with how they explained and carried out the procedures. The team even helped with a previous dentist’s work that improved my situation immensely!

Juan O.

This office is almost 45 minutes away from me but I happily make the drive because I can’t imagine going to any other dentist. Dr. Pan and his staff are incredible personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. After just one visit, I left with a personalized plan on how to take care of my teeth at home that has vastly improved my dental health (cool night routine that isn’t super extensive!). Great office and staff would highly recommend!

Libby B.

What a delightful experience! Office staff was very friendly and professional. My hygienist, Kathy, was very personable and thorough, providing details about the health of my teeth and gums along the way. Dr. Pan was very thorough, letting me know the status of my dental issues and providing a reasonable timeline for my needed procedures. Overall, a very good experience for my first appointment. I look forward to my next visit.

Antonia F.

I love the entire staff at Pine Ave Smiles! They are all very friendly and explain everything so there’s no surprises! Dr. Pan does a great job at making sure you know what’s going on and agree with the plan before he does anything. I’m very happy with my experiences there!

The Causes of Tooth Loss

Tooth loss can occur for various reasons, from the unavoidable march of age to accidents and dental diseases. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is the leading cause, while other factors include cavities, root canal failures, and trauma to the mouth. No matter the cause, the loss of teeth can have significant effects on your overall oral health and quality of life.

The Aftermath of Losing Teeth

After tooth loss, many changes can occur in your mouth. Remaining teeth may shift, affecting your bite and leading to additional stress on your jaw joints. Over time, bone loss can occur where the tooth once was, potentially altering your facial structure and leading to further dental complications.

The Importance of Replacing Missing Teeth

Replacing missing teeth is not only important for your appearance but also for your oral health and functionality. It prevents remaining teeth from shifting, preserves the jawbone, and restores your ability to chew and speak properly.

Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement. An implant is a small, sturdy titanium post that is inserted into the jawbone, serving as a substitute for the tooth root. This post provides a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

How They Work

Implants fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, providing stable support for artificial teeth. Crowns, bridges, or dentures mounted to implants won't slip or shift in your mouth—an especially important benefit during eating and speaking.

Their Benefits

Dental implants offer numerous benefits, including:

Improved Appearance: They look and feel like your own teeth.
Enhanced Comfort: As they become part of you, discomfort from removable dentures is eliminated.
Easier Eating: Slide-free dentures make it easier to eat your favorite foods.
Improved Oral Health: Implants don't require reducing other teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.

Is the dental implant procedure painful?

Most patients report that the discomfort is minimal, especially when compared to tooth extraction, and can be managed with standard pain relief medication.

Will my dental implants look and feel natural?

Yes, dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. They are custom-made to match the color and shape of your existing teeth, providing a seamless appearance.

What if I only need to replace a few teeth, not a full set?

Dental implants are versatile and can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full set. Your treatment will be tailored to meet your specific needs, whether that's a single implant or an implant-supported bridge.

How long does the entire dental implant process take?

The process can vary from a few months to over half a year, depending on the individual case, the number of implants, and the health of your jawbone. The process includes the initial consultation, the implantation procedure, and the healing period before the final crown can be placed.

Can I get dental implants if I have existing health conditions?

Most health conditions don't disqualify you from getting dental implants, but some, like uncontrolled diabetes or certain heart conditions, may require special consideration. It's essential to disclose your full medical history during the consultation.

What kind of maintenance do dental implants require?

Dental implants require the same maintenance as natural teeth, including brushing twice daily, flossing once a day, and regular dental check-ups and cleanings to ensure they remain in good condition and to monitor your overall oral health.

How successful are dental implants?

Dental implants have a success rate of up to 98%, depending on where in the jaw they are placed.

Does insurance cover dental implants?

Coverage varies by provider, but our staff at Pine Avenue Smile will help you understand your benefits and financing options.

What is the recovery time for dental implants?

Recovery times vary, but most patients can resume normal activities the following day, with dietary adjustments as the site heals.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Most people who are healthy enough to undergo a routine dental extraction or oral surgery can be considered for implants.

Can dental implants help preserve my jawbone?

Yes, they stimulate bone growth and prevent bone loss associated with missing teeth.
