Reviewed by Dr. Nicole M. Berger, DDS — South Florida Smile Spa, Pompano Beach, FL
Dental services in Pompano Beach, organised the way treatment actually happens: health first, function second, appearance third. Most people arrive asking for the third and need to start with the first.
Quick answer
South Florida Smile Spa provides general, restorative and cosmetic dentistry at one location in Pompano Beach, FL. That covers routine examinations and cleanings, gum disease treatment, root canals, dental implants, crowns and bridges, porcelain veneers, professional whitening, Invisalign, oral surgery and sedation. Dr. Nicole M. Berger, DDS has practiced here for more than twenty years and treats every case personally rather than referring the work out. New patients start with an examination and a written plan, and treatment can be staged rather than done all at once.
Where to Start
How care here is organised
The list below is how the practice is organised, not a running order. Treatment is sequenced by what the mouth needs: active disease is treated before anything is rebuilt, and anything rebuilt is finished before appearance is refined.
That order is not a sales structure. It is the only sequence in which the work lasts, because a crown on an untreated tooth, or a veneer over inflamed gums, fails early and has to be redone at your expense.
If you do not know which category you belong in, that is the normal starting point. An examination sorts it out in one visit.
Every service, and what each one covers
| Area of care | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Routine dental care | Exams, cleanings, fillings, root canals |
| Periodontics (gum care) | Diagnosis, deep cleaning, laser treatment |
| Dental implants | Single tooth, All-on-4, bone grafting, restorations |
| Cosmetic dentistry | Veneers, bonding, crowns, bridges, smile makeovers |
| Teeth whitening | KöR, Zoom, Opalescence, take-home trays |
| Orthodontics | Invisalign clear aligners |
| Oral surgery | Extractions, bone grafting, surgical preparation |
| Sedation dentistry | IV and oral sedation for anxiety or long visits |
What a first visit involves
- History. What brings you in, what has been done before, and anything medical that changes how treatment is planned.
- Examination. Teeth, existing restorations, bite, and a soft tissue check.
- X-rays. Taken where they change the diagnosis, not as a default.
- Gum assessment. Pocket depths recorded around each tooth, because gum disease is usually painless until it is advanced.
- Findings and options. What we found, what it means, and the realistic routes with their trade-offs and figures in writing.
You are not asked to decide on the day. The written plan is yours to take away.
What we will tell you honestly
- When a cheaper or less invasive option would get you most of the way there.
- When a tooth cannot be saved, rather than staging expensive work that delays the same outcome.
- When nothing needs doing at all, which is a legitimate finding and a common one.
- When a problem is outside what this practice should handle, and who to see instead.

If it has been a while
That is more common than you think, and it is not something you will be lectured about. An examination tells you where you stand, and you decide what happens next.

Frequently Asked Questions
What dental services do you offer in Pompano Beach?
General and preventive care, gum treatment, dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening, Invisalign, oral surgery and sedation. It is a single practice rather than a group, so the same dentist plans and carries out the work across all of it.
Do you take new patients?
Yes. A first visit is an examination, any necessary X-rays, a gum assessment and a conversation about what you want from your teeth. You leave with findings and options in writing rather than a treatment plan you were talked into on the day.
Which service do I need?
Often not the one people arrive asking for. Pain and swelling point to routine or emergency care, bleeding gums to periodontics, a missing tooth to implants or a bridge, and appearance concerns to cosmetic dentistry. If you are unsure, book an examination and we will tell you which category you are actually in.
Do you treat emergencies?
Call the office as early in the day as possible and describe what is happening. Pain that keeps you awake, facial swelling, a knocked-out tooth or a broken tooth with a sharp edge are all reasons to be seen quickly rather than waiting for a routine slot.
Is treatment available for nervous patients?
Yes. IV and oral sedation are both available in house, and they are used routinely for anxious patients as well as for long appointments. Say so when you book so the visit is planned around it rather than adjusted on the day.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. The practice runs in English and Spanish, including the clinical conversation rather than just the front desk.
How much will treatment cost?
It depends entirely on what your mouth needs, which is why we do not publish prices. After the examination you get the figures in writing before anything is scheduled, with the insurance-covered portion separated from what you pay.
Do you take my insurance?
The front desk checks your benefits before treatment is scheduled and tells you what is covered and what is not. Financing options are available for work that insurance does not cover.
How often should I come in?
Every six months suits most people. Patients with a history of gum disease usually need three or four monthly maintenance visits, because the interval is set by how quickly bacteria rebuild below the gum line, not by habit.
Can I have several things done in one visit?
Often yes, and combining treatment reduces the number of injections and trips. What decides it is how long you can comfortably sit, and whether one procedure needs to heal before the next can be done properly.
Where are you located?
572 E McNab Rd, Suite 102, Pompano Beach, FL 33060, with parking on site. We see patients from Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Point, Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Coconut Creek.
