Extractions

There are times when it is necessary to remove a tooth. For example: orthodontic correction, infection or a tooth may have so much decay that it puts the surrounding teeth and jaw at risk of infection, so your doctor may recommend removal and replacement with a bridge or implant.

Fillings

Traditional dental restoratives, or fillings, may include amalgam and composite/resin/tooth-colored materials

Root Canals

With this procedure your tooth can be saved if there is extensive decay/infection in and around the tooth. Some root canals may need to be referred to a specialists if there are certain complications present.

Dentures

Dentures and partials can be natural-looking removable replacement for missing teeth in an arch. There are two types of dentures: full and partial.

Always a delightful experience with professional staff from the front desk to the hygienist to the dental assistant and the dentist.

My dental hygienist (Diana) is AWESOME! She has been caring for and advising me for nearly 10 years, and her professionalism is only surpassed by her personal charm and demeanor. My "new" dentist (Dr. Gatlin) is smooth and thorough. For my first encounter with him, he immediately proved to be attentive, caring, and informative. I have a standing practice of visiting the Carrollwood office every six months to ensure I'm on top of "any" dental issues, and I can say that for the past 10 years, they have prevented me from undergoing "any" major dental issues. From the front desk team to the dental technicians, you can count on the Friendly Smiles Dental Care - Carrollwood office to be welcoming, clean, organized, and caring. Five stars is not an adequate measurement of the quality this office provides. As such, I have referred my wife, daughter, and granddaughter to their care.
