Lighthouse Point is a small, affluent coastal community north of Fort Lauderdale with high expectations for the professionals it trusts. DG Dental is a boutique practice with advanced technology. DG Dental is about 8 miles south on Federal Highway, and Lighthouse Point patients who come to us typically do so for one of 2 reasons: they have found us through something specific we offer that no Lighthouse Point practice has, or they want a fundamentally different kind of experience than a corporate multi-provider office delivers.
Dr. Dory Green is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry who operates a private, single-doctor adult practice. She completed advanced training in craniofacial sleep medicine, has been placing and restoring implants from her residency at Virtua Health onward, and brings over a decade of cosmetic and restorative experience to every case. For Lighthouse Point patients who are accustomed to a certain standard and are tired of being seen by whoever is available that day, the consistency here is notable.
The CEREC same-day crown technology that our blog content covers has been generating search interest from Lighthouse Point residents. That is not a coincidence. Lighthouse Point patients who need crowns and do not want to take 2 days off work, wear a temporary for 2 weeks, and return for a second appointment are finding us because of that capability. Same-day dental crowns are available at DG Dental.
Beyond crowns, the technology gap between DG Dental and what is available in Lighthouse Point is real. Our pharyngometer/rhinometer combination device allows Dr. Green to objectively measure airway dimensions and produce precisely fitted sleep appliances rather than approximate ones. She is credentialed with most major medical insurance companies for sleep-related dental treatment, which means Lighthouse Point patients who have been managing sleep apnea with a CPAP may be able to access sleep apnea care here under medical benefits rather than out of pocket.
Material biocompatibility testing is available for Lighthouse Point patients who want clinical rigor around what goes into their mouth. Laser dentistry handles gum contouring, soft tissue procedures, and cavity treatment with less discomfort and faster healing than traditional methods. Our Platinum Invisalign provider handles all orthodontic consultations. Botox and fillers are available in-office.
Lighthouse Point patients expect consistency and quality at every appointment, and DG Dental’s service menu reflects both. General and preventive care includes comprehensive exams, dental cleanings, x-rays, and tooth-colored fillings. For patients interested in cosmetic work, services include porcelain veneers, Lumineers, professional teeth whitening, gum contouring, and complete smile makeovers. Restorative services include dental implants, All-on-4 implants, same-day crowns, endodontics, and oral surgery. Sedation dentistry is available for patients with dental anxiety.
Lighthouse Point patients who need same-day emergency dental care can call 954-524-2300. We accommodate urgent cases whenever possible, and same-day crowns mean fewer patients sitting in a temporary waiting for a second appointment.
We are in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare and accept all out-of-network PPO plans, filing claims on your behalf. Our Mint In-House Membership is available for patients without insurance. Flexible financing is available. To schedule from Lighthouse Point, contact us through our web portal or call 954-524-2300.
