Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics is the place to go for complete and comprehensive dental care for your children (6 months - 15 years).
Patients living in Pensacola, Crestview, Mary Esther, and Santa Rosa Beach, FL can experience the most advanced technology in implant dentistry with Same-Day Implants. Dr. Farrugia has developed a surgical protocol called “The Comfort Way” for painless tooth extraction and implant placement. This method also has a short recovery period during which 98% of patients surveyed experienced little to no pain. At Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics, dentists replace missing teeth the same day so you can have a beautiful and bright smile when you go home.
The dentists at Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics use the All-on-4® procedure to fit patients with a fixed prosthesis that is supported by four implants. The implants are placed with two axially oriented implants in the anterior region and two tilted posterior implants. Placing the implants in this way avoids the maxillary sinuses or the mandibular nerve. All-on-4® implants are used in place of wearing dentures when replacing an entire arch of failing teeth.
With the All-on-4® implants, you can expect to regain full function of your mouth and teeth just as if you had your normal teeth. Because of the way the implants are placed into the bone of the upper jaw, you walk away with temporary teeth affixed to the implants on the day of the procedure. Once the healing has been completed, the permanent teeth are placed, and full function is restored, including a beautiful and confident smile.
There are definitely advantages to using the All-on-4® method for same-day implants. They include:
If you currently wear dentures or are about to lose an arch of teeth, the All-on-4® dental implants may be right for you. The only way to know for sure is to have a consultation with one of our specialists who will evaluate your mouth and teeth. They will then discuss with you their recommendation as to the best option to achieve your goals.
The cost of the All-on-4® implants is different for every patient because the cost depends on several factors including the quality and density of the bone. We can discuss the costs during your consultation as well as go over our payment options, or financing through CareCredit® and OrthoBanc®.
Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics takes a patient-centered approach to caring for their patients. We work hard to provide superior services in many areas of dental care and want each patient to have the best teeth possible so they can smile and feel good about themselves. Additionally, our team members understand the value of your time and strive to provide all treatments in an effective and time-efficient manner. The goal is to have patients leave the office with the smile they want and a positive self-image.
If you have dentures or are losing an arch of your teeth and want to have a bright smile, the All-on-4® procedure is a modern method to restore full and permanent function to your mouth and replacement teeth. Residents living in Crestview, Pensacola, Santa Rosa Beach, Mary Esther, FL, or the surrounding areas, are urged to contact us to schedule an appointment at Comfort Care Dental and Orthodontics.

A root canal procedure with an expert endodontist is needed to save a tooth damaged by severe decay or trauma.
Dental hygiene involves the proper methods and procedures for taking care of your mouth – including your teeth and gums and typically involves establishing a routine for brushing, flossing, and any other oral care procedures that protect and treat your teeth.
Do you need a caring and honest dentist you can trust to serve your entire family?

When your teeth are crooked or misaligned, or you need to correct your bite, your dentist will direct you towards a special division of dentistry called “orthodontics.” Orthodontists work with you to keep your teeth and mouth in good physical shape and alignment.
Instead of metal braces, many patients prefer Invisalign® – a cosmetic dental procedure that straightens and aligns your teeth using clear and removable trays. These trays are comfortable and changed approximately every other week to gradually shift the position of your teeth over time.
When your teeth are crooked, crowded, irregularly spaced, out of alignment, or protruding, braces are typically the go-to treatment method to correct them. Available for use on patients of all ages, braces use metal brackets to gradually reposition teeth and ultimately provide a healthier, more attractive smile.
A retainer is custom-made, composed of plastic and metal, and fits inside your teeth to help maintain the correct positioning of your teeth.
Zygomatic implants are a more advanced form of dental implants specifically used with the upper jaw when the jaw is resorbed or eroded following tooth removal. These implants provide the support for upper implant bridgework where other implants do not work.
One of the things that distinguishes and differentiates Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics from other dental care providers is that we have all the experts you need for perfect oral health under one roof, including periodontics.
Crown lengthening helps to expose more of your natural tooth so your mouth can be better prepared for a necessary cosmetic or restorative procedure or to address and improve the health of your natural gum line.
Our gums are a key to our wellbeing because they keep our teeth strongly rooted and empower our ability to function and preserve our facial structure for optimal personal appearance.

Cosmetic dentistry combines the art of aesthetics, the knowledge of dental structures, and the science behind technological innovations in order to make your teeth look and feel their best.
A bridge is placed to correct teeth that sit on either side of a gap. A dental bridge can restore your smile, while also maintaining your face shape. Perhaps most importantly, a well-placed bridge will prevent your other teeth from falling out of alignment.
Decay or trauma can cause loss of tooth structure and can compromise function as well as esthetics. Extensive loss of tooth structure can best be replaced with a restoration that covers your entire tooth as in a crown. This “full coverage” restoration can strengthen your tooth and in the hands of an expert can provide a long-lasting esthetic and functional result.
Tooth loss is challenging on many levels. Not only can it affect what you eat and how you chew leading to more serious health concerns, but it can also make you feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. We want you to be your best self. Dentures may help you get there.
Sealants are a thin, protective coating that bonds to the surface of your teeth. When properly applied, sealants can help prevent cavities. Best of all, sealants do not require numbing or drilling and are generally painless. Developed to ward off decay before it affects a tooth, they are most commonly used on those teeth most prone to cavities.
Porcelain inlays are hard; custom manufactured inserts that are usually placed in larger cavities and areas where there is less tooth structure.
Porcelain onlays are often referred to as partial crowns, and they are generally placed on your existing tooth as a base and fitted onto the tooth.
At Comfort Dental, we believe that getting your teeth cleaned every 6 months keep your teeth and gums as healthy as possible.
When decay occurs in a tooth, it’s important to take steps right away to address the issue. A filling is used to treat a decaying tooth and halt the spread of further tooth decay. Composite fillings are made of a natural resin composite material, as opposed to metal fillings.
While many of us do our best to keep our teeth healthy, sometimes a tooth needs to be taken out to keep you healthy. In these cases, an extraction is necessary.

Mini dental implants are smaller dental implants that work in the same manner as traditional dental implants. Because they are smaller in diameter, it is necessary to have a very precise replacement so that they function correctly.
