Why Plantation Patients Come to Us
Plantation has plenty of dental offices, and some of them are closer to you than we are. We will not pretend otherwise. What brings Plantation patients up University Drive is usually a specific reason, not the address.
If you are weighing a bigger plan such as implants, veneers or Invisalign, or you want a second opinion with the numbers in writing, an hour of driving for a full exam and a clear plan is a reasonable trade.
- The cost in writing before treatment, so you can compare it with any other quote you have
- Free implant and Smile Design consultations, with a digital preview for cosmetic cases
- A $65 first visit for new patients with healthy gums: exam, digital X-rays and a basic cleaning
- One office for everything, from cleanings through implants, so you are not sent across town
- English and Spanish spoken at the front desk and in the chair
Getting Here From Plantation
Plantation sits well to the south of us, and University Drive (State Road 817) is the road that connects the two. You do not need a highway or a toll road: it is one long drive north, with traffic lights along the way.
- Get on University Drive. From central Plantation, that is at Broward Boulevard, where Westfield Broward Mall sits. From west Plantation, such as Jacaranda or Plantation Acres, take Broward Boulevard or Sunrise Boulevard east to University Drive first.
- Head north. You will cross Sunrise Boulevard, then Oakland Park Boulevard, then Commercial Boulevard. Stay on University Drive the whole way.
- Look for 6510 N University Dr about 1.4 miles past Commercial Boulevard, just south of the McNab Road intersection. There is parking at the door.
From Broward Boulevard it is about 6 to 7 miles, or about 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic. University Drive has a lot of signals, so the same distance takes longer than it would on a highway, and the morning and late-afternoon rush are the slow times. Landmarks you will recognize on the way include Broward Mall at the start and the Commercial Boulevard crossing near the end.
We serve patients across the 33313, 33317, 33322, 33324 and 33325 ZIP codes, along with the rest of Broward County. The office is at 6510 N University Dr, Tamarac, FL 33321, with parking at the door.
Costs and Insurance
We work with most major PPO plans and check your benefits before treatment, so you know what to expect before you decide. Where we are out of network we can usually still file the claim so you receive your benefit.
If you are paying yourself, monthly financing through CareCredit, Sunbit, Cherry or Alphaeon can spread the cost of treatment, subject to approval. Because we give you the cost of each step in writing after your exam, you can compare it with any other plan you are considering before you agree to anything.
More on how it works is on our financing and insurance page.
Your First Visit for $65
If you are driving up from Plantation, make the first trip count. The $65 new patient visit is built to answer the question you came with.
It covers a full check-up of your teeth and gums, digital X-rays and a basic cleaning, plus a free Smile Design consultation. You leave knowing what is urgent, what can wait, and what each step will cost in writing. Plan on about an hour, and if you are considering implants, ask about the free implant consultation at the same time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is University Drive the right road to take from Plantation?
For most Plantation addresses, yes. University Drive (State Road 817) runs north from Broward Boulevard through Sunrise and Lauderhill into Tamarac, and our office at 6510 N University Dr is on it, about 1.4 miles north of Commercial Boulevard. There are no tolls and nothing to transfer to. Expect about 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic.
Plantation has plenty of dentists. Why drive to Tamarac?
You may not need to. If a dentist near you has the care you need at a price you can live with, that is a good answer. People come to us for specific things: the cost in writing before treatment, free implant and Smile Design consultations, a $65 first visit for new patients with healthy gums, and English and Spanish under one roof. The $65 visit is a low-commitment way to find out whether the drive is worth it.
When should I book to avoid the worst traffic?
We are open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and we cannot promise light traffic on University Drive. As a general rule, a first-of-the-day appointment or a midday slot avoids most of the morning and late-afternoon rush. Call (954) 322-3865 and tell us which times work for you.
I am thinking about implants. What does the free consultation cover?
It is a chance to find out whether implants suit your case, what the treatment involves and what it costs, before you commit to anything. It is a consultation only: treatment is quoted after your exam. You can read more about dental implants and All-on-4 first, and our implant cost guide explains what drives the price.
Do you offer Invisalign for adults?
Yes. We offer Invisalign and braces for adults and teens. The free Smile Design consultation includes a digital preview and a plan for alignment, veneers, whitening or reshaping, built around your face, so you can see the direction before you decide.
Will you check my PPO benefits before I start?
Yes. We accept most major PPO plans and check your benefits before treatment, so you know what your plan covers and what you would pay. Where we are out of network we can usually still file the claim so you receive your benefit. Plans differ, so it helps to call (954) 322-3865 with your plan name before your visit.
