Family Dentistry in Miami, FL | Miami Modern Dental

As a full-service modern dental office is dedicated to the health and longevity of your gums and teeth, and with two skillful and experienced dentists, we are able to provide a full array of general dentistry procedures for the entire family! At Miami Modern Dental we take pride in surpassing your expectations by taking into account your concerns and solving your dental problems. Most of the common dental problems and emergencies can be taken care of in-house and on the same day. For example:

Gum Disease – The main cause of tooth loss in the country. The symptoms include irritated, swollen, and bleeding gums, and mobile and sensitive teeth. This condition can be treated successfully with our periodontal deep cleaning and maintenance program. The deep cleaning will allow us to remove all the plaque (bacteria) and tartar from underneath the gums and on the root surface. Consequently, the gums will heal, the bleeding will stop, and sensitivity will be alleviated. The periodontal maintenance procedure will allow us to maintain healthy gums and teeth for a lifetime with regular hygiene appointments at 3-month or 6-month intervals.

Broken, Fractured, Or Large Defective Fillings can cause sensitivity and pain, as well as weaken the tooth structurally. Modern dental crowns restore structurally compromised teeth to full function, durability, and beauty. A custom-made crown covers the tooth, protecting and reinforcing it. At Miami Modern Dental we place aesthetic crowns, which are made from fine ceramic or porcelain fused to metal.

Tooth Decay And Old Metal Fillings can cause pain and sensitivity. Keep your teeth caries (bacteria) free and without mercury and metal with white resin fillings. At Miami Modern Dental, Drs. Pasquier, Sr and Pasquier, Jr gently place aesthetic, tooth-colored fillings instead of dark amalgams. If you have faulty amalgams in your mouth or noticeable cavities, we urge you to call us immediately. We can replace your old metal fillings and/or restore your decayed teeth, helping you conserve a white, metal-free healthy smile.

Wisdom Teeth can cause a lot of problems and discomfort. If the wisdom tooth is only partially out, then food particles can potentially get trapped in between the wisdom tooth and the gum, causing inflammation and swelling – a condition known as Pericoronitis. If the wisdom teeth never came out but you feel pain and pressure, then you are experiencing a condition known as tooth impaction. These symptoms are due to the wisdom tooth pushing against the teeth in front of it. Dr. Pasquier can perform wisdom teeth extractions and other oral surgeries in-office, for your convenience. His experience in oral surgery and minimally invasive surgeries offer the best oral surgery results and recovery.

Snoring might not be something we are too concerned about, but it can cause a multitude of issues such as hypertension, reduced daytime alertness, memory loss, obesity, increased risk of diabetes, heart attack, and stroke. Due to the recent advances in sleep dentistry, we can effectively treat patients who suffer from snoring with a variety of anti-snoring appliances. At Miami Modern Dental we can help you choose an appliance that is more effective in eliminating your snoring. You will be able to sleep better and live better.

What Is Periodontal Disease?

While many patients have heard of periodontal disease, they may not truly understand the importance of avoiding its development. Periodontal disease, also referred to as gum disease, is a serious condition that can affect all aspects of the smile including the jaw bone, gum tissue, and natural teeth.

Periodontal disease starts off as gingivitis, the initial stage of gum disease which is characterized by issues such as persistent bad breath, inflammation of the gum tissue, and bleeding of the gums while brushing or flossing. At this point, the condition is completely reversible with immediate dental care. Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. can provide a thorough cleaning of the teeth and gum tissue to remove the bacteria causing the condition.

Without treatment, patients may experience further problems and the progression of the disease into periodontitis. At this point, patients may notice the shrinking of gum tissue as it pulls away from the natural teeth. The bone underneath disintegrates and results in the loosening of teeth, eventually causing them to fall out due to poor support. Patients may experience other problems such as tooth decay and pain at this point. Instead of reversing the condition, patients can only control it when it reaches this stage with the assistance of a quality dental team. Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. of Miami Modern Dental can help patients understand the stage of which their disease is at and how to address it.

Benefits Of Oral Care

Good oral health is an important aspect of dentistry that should not be overlooked. Patients in the Miami area who are interested in achieving a healthy, beautiful smile should take great care in protecting their natural teeth. Without teeth, patients cannot properly chew, digest their food, or speak, making it more difficult to interact with others. Additionally, teeth have an aesthetic appeal and without them, smiles may be imperfect and patients may experience lowered self-esteem.

The primary benefit of good oral health care is a beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime. When patients neglect their teeth, they are at risk for developing a myriad of problems such as tooth decay, infection, and gum disease. These can be time-consuming and expensive to repair and restore the health of the smile, so proactive dental care is preferred. Patients can maintain their oral health with regular professional cleanings and examinations with Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. of Miami Modern Dental, as well as brushing and flossing the teeth after each and every meal.

Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. are a father/son team of Miami Modern Dental who are committed to helping families achieve great dental health and enjoy a lifetime of beautiful smiles!

General Dentistry Procedures

Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. are a father/son team committed to the beauty and health of patient smiles. Using state-of-the-art technology and some of the newest techniques and materials, they are able to provide all patients who visit Miami Modern Dental with the best cosmetic and general dentistry has to offer. Many patients visit their practice to learn about the general dentistry procedures they provide which include:

Examinations

Patients should visit a dentist at least twice a year to maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. X-rays may be taken at this time and a physical examination may also occur.

Professional Cleanings

Plaque, tartar, and bacteria can form on the surfaces of the teeth and gums, so it is important for patients to have regular professional cleanings with Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. to maintain their dental health.

Fillings

Cavities may occur and require immediate assistance. Dental fillings are provided at Miami Modern Dental, specifically composite resin fillings which are tooth-colored and much more aesthetic than conventional silver amalgam fillings.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Removing the third molars is often done to maintain dental health and keep patients from experiencing the pain and discomfort of impacted teeth.

Root Canal Therapy

Treating teeth that are infected can be done with a procedure called root canal therapy in which the dental pulp from within the tooth is removed and sealed off to keep bacteria from entering the canals.

Dental Hygiene For Children

Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. of Miami Modern Dental work closely with patients of all ages in their practice including children. Children of all ages are welcome at our dental facility and can enjoy a positive experience with our caring dental team.

Dental hygiene for children is incredibly important in setting the foundation for better care of the teeth and gums. Children who visit the practice are educated on the reasons why they should brush and floss after every meal, as well as the benefits of visiting Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. at least twice a year for cleanings and examinations.

Dental hygiene is the best way to get children started on the right foot when it comes to their smiles. The earlier children are introduced to good dental habits, the more likely they are to maintain their dental health over the course of time. Lifelong, beautiful smiles can be achieved with the help of Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. of Miami Modern Dental.
