FAQs
What are your office hours?
The Fort Lauderdale office is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Wednesday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The office is closed Saturday and Sunday. The practice also states that it keeps a dedicated emergency phone line you can call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Do you handle dental emergencies?
Yes. The practice states that it has a dedicated emergency phone line available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and that same day appointments can be accommodated in many cases when the situation warrants. Reasons to call right away include a severe toothache, a chipped or broken tooth, a lost or loose tooth, bleeding in the mouth, damage to a restoration or appliance, or signs of infection.
What sedation options do you offer?
Three options are described on the site. Intravenous sedation is delivered through an IV drip and takes effect within minutes. Oral sedation uses anti anxiety medication taken before the appointment, which suits patients who dislike needles. Nitrous oxide is inhaled and wears off quickly after the visit. Sedation is provided by a board certified anesthesiologist, and the patient's vital signs are monitored throughout the procedure. Patients who choose IV or oral sedation need a responsible adult to drive them home.
Do you take insurance, and do you offer financing?
The site states that most insurance is accepted. Financing is also available for general, specialty, and cosmetic procedures such as implants, bridges, crowns, oral surgery, dentures, root canals, veneers, and whitening. The practice lists financing of up to $65,000 with affordable monthly payments, competitive interest rates, no prepayment penalty, multiple loan term options, and interest free options on approved credit and provider participation.
Who will be treating me?
The clinical team listed on the site includes Dr. Burak Taskonak, DDS, PhD, a prosthodontist who focuses on restorative, aesthetic, and implant dentistry, Dr. Cem Sayin, a board certified endodontist and Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics, and Dr. Lau Maroto-Esteve, whose clinical interests include cosmetic dentistry, porcelain veneers, smile makeovers, and comprehensive restorative treatment. The practice also highlights its dental hygiene department.
Do you place dental implants?
Yes. Implant dentistry is one of the practice's core services, covering single tooth replacement, multiple teeth replacement, All On 4 and All On 6 treatment, and failed implant restoration. Dr. Taskonak is described as one of the few clinicians who both places and restores dental implants, which means the surgical and restorative phases can be handled by the same practice.
What is involved in a porcelain veneer smile makeover?
The practice designs each smile makeover around the patient's facial features, preferences, and goals rather than applying one standard look. Porcelain veneers can address the shape, size, color, or alignment of teeth, from correcting minor imperfections to a full transformation. Treatment starts with a consultation where the dentist reviews your goals and lays out a personalized plan.
Do you offer clear aligners?
Yes. Invisalign clear aligners are offered as an orthodontic option that gradually moves teeth into position. The site describes the aligners as virtually invisible and notes that removable aligners make cleaning easier and support healthier gums compared with fixed appliances.
