Gentle Breeze Dental
Gentle Breeze Dental is a family dental practice on SE Port St Lucie Blvd in Port St. Lucie, Florida, led by Dr. Kevin Diep. The office provides routine, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry for adults and children, including exams and cleanings, tooth colored fillings, crowns, inlays, onlays and bridges, root canal therapy, tooth extractions and wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, full and implant supported dentures, porcelain veneers, and professional teeth whitening. A pediatric dentist sees children from their first visit at two years old, and the practice also provides same day emergency dental care for knocked out teeth, toothaches, and broken teeth. Much of the work other offices refer out is handled in house here, from root canals and extractions to implant placement through crown fabrication. The office uses an iTero intra oral scanner for digital impressions, an intra oral camera, and digital and panoramic X-rays, and sterilizes instruments in an autoclave that is regularly monitored by an independent lab. New patients are welcome, and the practice lists a $99 package covering a teeth cleaning, dental exam and digital x-rays.

FAQs
Do you treat children as well as adults?
Yes. Gentle Breeze Dental provides routine, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry for both adults and children. A pediatric dentist works to make children of all ages feel at ease, and the office looks forward to a child's first visit at two years old and then seeing them year after year.
Do you handle dental emergencies?
Yes. The practice provides same day emergency dental care to individuals and families in Port St Lucie and the surrounding areas, covering knocked out teeth, toothaches, and broken teeth. Call the office as soon as the problem happens, because a tooth that is replaced and stabilized quickly has a better chance of healing.
Will I be referred elsewhere for a root canal, an extraction, or an implant?
In most cases no. The team performs advanced root canal therapy in the office, does most tooth extractions in house, and handles the entire implant process from placement through crown fabrication, so there is no need to be sent to another office.
What technology does the office use?
An iTero intra oral scanner takes digital impressions that usually eliminate the older tray and putty method, and it can be used for crowns, whitening trays and more. An intra oral camera shows you a closeup of the inside of your own mouth, and digital X-rays give clearer images than traditional film, including panoramic views of the upper and lower jaws in one shot.
What are my options for replacing missing teeth?
The practice offers dental implants, bridges, and dentures. An implant uses a titanium based root placed in the jaw and topped with a custom made replacement tooth, and can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or a full mouth. Dentures can be traditional and removable or supported by implants, which the office notes helps prevent bone loss and improves bite compared with a traditional denture. A consultation covers which option suits your situation.
What teeth whitening options do you offer?
Two professional options are available. Chairside power whitening is completed in the office in roughly 45 minutes and brightens teeth between 5 and 10 shades, and custom take home trays use stronger gel than a drugstore kit, with the instructions reviewed with you first. Whitening does not lighten existing fillings, crowns, or other restorations.
Are there any current specials?
The website lists two: a new patient package with a teeth cleaning, dental exam and digital x-rays for $99, and a BioHorizons dental implants special at $1300. Confirm current availability and what is included when you call to book.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes. The office states that new patients are always welcome. You can print and complete the new patient forms from the website at home before your first visit, which saves time at the appointment.
