A Modern Approach to Periodontal Disease With Dr. Z Smiles of Pembroke Pines
Understanding the condition and the new, better way to treat it.
What is Gum Disease?
Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place, starting with plaque buildup. In its early stage, gingivitis is reversible. If left untreated, it progresses to periodontitis, which can lead to pocket formation, bone destruction, and tooth loss.

Lakshmi P.
I have been visiting Dr.Z smiles in pembroke pines for about 2 years now. I recently had my cavities filled with Solea Laser technology with no additional cost. The team did a wonderful job and it didn't involve any injections for pain. I was so relaxed and painfree that I fell asleep while the dentists were working on my teeth. This will be great for kids. It is normal to feel a little pressure while chewing food after the treatment that will last for a week. I would recommend Solea Laser for cavities filling, especiallyfor kids.

I am very satisfied that I chose this clinic to have my two wisdom teeth extractions done. It was difficult, but Dr. Zusel and the assistant Yaima did a good job, as well as the front desk and the dentist who did my cleaning, well everyone! It hasn't even been 24 hours and I no longer have any bleeding, almost no inflammation, despite all the manipulation. There is still a long way to go but I feel comfortable having found a suitable and professional place. Thank you 🙏

My experience yesterday was extremely satisfying. The ladies at the front desk greeted me immediately and my appointment was "ONTIME", something that is a rarity in todays Doctor offices. My cleaning and x-rays went well, and the hygienist was immensely considerate throughout the process. It became apparent that I needed 2 fillings due to receding gum lines and my dentist fit me in and corrected the issue immediately. Just a great overall experience, due in large part to an incredible staff.
