Welcome To Our Practice

The Dentist Place has been located in Sears since 1982.  Our professional associates and employees take pride in giving our patients high quality care in a friendly atmosphere.  In recognition of your health and safety concerns, we are proud to assure you that our office meets and exceeds all OSHA regulations.  We are confident that you will feel comfortable with us and we will strive to meet your expectations in every way.  For your convenience, following is a summary of our services.

Emergencies

Multi Specialty Care


Our patients of record are usually offered a time to be seen the same day we receive your emergency call.  After hours, the answering service will contact one of our Dentists, should an emergency arise.


We provide gentle care using modern technology.  New patients are being accepted, both adult and children.  Our doctors provide all phases of general dentistry and oral surgery.

Please feel at ease about discussing your needs and desires.  Our Financial Counselor will work with you to define a plan that can make your dental needs become possible.



Hygiene

Recent research confirms the link between periodontal (gum) disease with heart disease and diabetes.  Your doctor and hygienist will carefully check you for any signs of gum disease, so that we can treat and improve your whole body health.  If you have not had a professional cleaning for many years, you may need additional hygiene services.  Fluoride treatment may be recommended for you.

Cleanings

We believe a good foundation is the key to optimal oral health, therefore, our periodontal care is of utmost priority. We customize cleanings to properly care for your specific periodontal (gums & bone) needs. Whether a six month checkup or full periodontal therapy, our hygienists will always strive to provide the very best treatment while maintaining your absolute comfort.

Bonding

Tooth Whitening

Composite resin bonding is used to repair fractures as well as to laminate (or cover) teeth to enhance appearance.  These procedures are usually accomplished in one appointment and with little or no discomfort!  We are proud to produce some of the most beautiful smiles in Florida.

Veneers

Direct Bonded Resin veneers or Porcelain Laminate veneers are literally a "shell covering" placed over the teeth to enhance or correct their appearance.  Whether to close spaces, increase size, change color or straighten the teeth, the application of veneers is one of the most exciting procedures for enhancing a smile. We not only change peoples' smiles, our patients repeatedly say we change lives.

Sealants

For the prevention of cavities, we may suggest sealants to protect your child's back teeth during their early years.

For a whiter brighter smile, ask about our whitening procedures.  Whitening teeth can be one of the easiest, yet, most gratifying procedures performed in our office.  We are pleased to provide our patients with choices of different bleaching procedures which are customized for each patient's needs.  Resulting from these procedures, our patients are enjoying whiter, brighter smiles achieved in just a few short, easy visits.

Fillings

White and silver fillings as well as tooth bonding are common procedures performed by our Doctors.  Modern dentistry has allowed us the pleasure of combining beauty as well as strength when filling teeth. We take pride in "restoring" teeth to as close to their original strength and appearance with composite resins and ceramics.  Since patient comfort is top priority, our clinical staff and doctors go the extra mile to make coming to the dentist a whole new positive experience.

Root Canal Therapy

Crowns & Fixed Bridges


When decay is so deep that the nerve becomes infected, your Doctor may recommend root canal treatment.  Normally two appointments are required.  Your tooth may require a post and crown as a final restoration, in addition to a root canal.  Root canals are highly successful and an alternative to loosing the tooth in many cases.

Extraction

Dr. C. J. Keathley, owner, is a Board Certified Oral Surgeon.  He may complete your initial exam and then assign you to your General Dentist, in addition to performing all your dental surgical needs.  Both nitrous oxide and I.V. sedation are available and will be offered to you.  Dr. Keathley also performs implants for our patients.

Please Note

The procedures listed are only the most common dental procedures performed in our office on a regular basis.  We also offer additional services and procedures as needed to maintain our patient's health.  We appreciate your questions and comments.  Our patient satisfaction is a shared goal among our employees.

We enjoy watching people smile after receiving their treatment and observing their exhibited confidence in the Doctors working with them.


Custom made Crowns and Fixed Bridges offer a solution to large fillings, protection after root canal therapy, and replacement of a missing tooth/teeth permanently cemented in your mouth.  Veneers are also performed in our office for cosmetic solutions to gaps between teeth and crooked teeth.  Ask your Doctor if you desire an improvement with your smile.

Dentures & Partial Dentures

Some patients may be able to save some of their teeth by replacing those missing with a removable partial denture.  For those patients who require replacement dentures or need full extractions and immediate temporary dentures placed, we can accommodate your needs.  We offer both a standard denture, very high quality and natural looking.  We also offer "Swissedent Technique" dentures, which are the most natural denture available.  We have samples of each so you can compare and decide for yourself which best meets your needs.  Since we make a lot of dentures, our success rate is very high.  In the event you need to have all your teeth removed, you will leave our office with a denture(s) in your mouth and return for follow up care the next day.

 

 



Our collective "GOAL" is to take the fearful patients and have them look forward to coming to THE DENTAL PLACE for treatment.
