Blanca Fernandez, DMD, is a highly skilled dentist trained in most of the important dental services people ask for. Of course she provides outstanding general and preventive care, using gentle techniques like intraoral cameras, no bigger than pens, to look at each and every tooth in detail. She uses metal-free dental restorations because of their strength, health benefits, and superior appearance. If it’s necessary to extract a tooth, she uses new techniques to preserve the bone in your jaw as much as possible. This is called atraumatic extraction, and can incorporate methods such as bone grafting to prevent deterioration in the strength of your jaw. If that happens, the skin and muscles of your face can begin to sag, so she plans your treatment to avoid muscle and bone weakening.
Education and Experience You Can Rely On
Dr. Fernandez studied general dentistry at the Colombian Dental College and prosthodontics (dentures, implants, crowns, and bridges) at the Dentistry Foundation of San Martin, in Bogota, Colombia, where she received a Master of Science degree. She then studied at Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where she earned her Doctorate in Dental Medicine (DMD).
Continuing education is a mandate for all healthcare professionals, but Dr. Fernandez goes above and beyond what is required and has extended her expertise with specialized training in dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, and oral surgery for procedures such as wisdom tooth extractions.
