Dr. Vigarny Arguello, Jr. DMD in Lauderdale by the Sea, FL

Dr. Hernandez, DMD in Margate, FL

Arguello Dentistry has been providing comprehensive family dental care since 2013. As a dental practice, we believe in candid honesty and compassionate care. This is integral to our office philosophy and the way we serve the patients in our community. Our dentists and team are thrilled to get to know you and your family and look forward to hearing from you!

Honest, Compassionate Dental Care for Every Stage of Your Smile

Arguello Dentistry is a family dental practice with offices in Margate and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida. Our dentists provide preventive, cosmetic, restorative, implant, and oral-surgery services for adults, children, and families throughout Broward County.

Your dental care should be clear, personal, and based on your real needs. Therefore, we take time to listen before treatment is recommended. Each option is explained in plain language.

At Arguello Dentistry , oral health is viewed as part of your overall well-being. We also understand that fear, stress, past experiences, and daily habits can affect dental care.

As a result, our team works to create a calm and respectful experience. You will be encouraged to ask questions. In addition, your concerns will be considered throughout each visit.

Welcome to Arguello Dentistry

Arguello Dentistry has served South Florida families since 2013. Today, care is provided at two Broward County dental offices.

Our Margate practice is convenient to Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, North Lauderdale, and Tamarac. Meanwhile, our Lauderdale-by-the-Sea location serves Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Sea Ranch Lakes, Oakland Park, and nearby coastal communities.

Patients visit us for routine checkups, dental cleanings, smile improvements, damaged teeth, missing teeth, and urgent concerns. However, every treatment begins with the same basic step: understanding the patient.

Your goals will be discussed first. Next, your teeth, gums, bite, and existing dental work will be evaluated. A treatment plan can then be created around your health, comfort, priorities, and budget.

Learn more about our dentists and team on the Arguello Dentistry team page .

How Can We Help Your Smile?

Some patients need preventive care. Others arrive with pain, broken teeth, missing teeth, or cosmetic concerns.

Because every mouth is different, the correct treatment cannot be chosen from a list alone. An examination is needed before a diagnosis is made.

Our dental services may help you:

  • Prevent cavities and gum disease
  • Relieve dental pain or sensitivity
  • Repair decayed, cracked, or broken teeth
  • Replace one or more missing teeth
  • Improve tooth color, shape, spacing, or alignment
  • Restore chewing comfort and bite function
  • Address infected or severely damaged teeth
  • Maintain the health of existing dental work
  • Feel more comfortable during dental visits

Comprehensive Dental Services in Broward County

Arguello Dentistry provides care for many common and complex dental needs. Whenever possible, treatment options are compared before a final decision is made.

Preventive and General Dentistry

Preventive dental care is used to find problems early and lower the risk of future disease. During a routine visit, your recent health history may be reviewed. Then, the teeth, gums, bite, and surrounding tissues can be examined.

Depending on your needs, care may include:

  • Comprehensive and periodic dental examinations
  • Professional dental cleanings
  • Periodontal measurements and gum evaluations
  • Dental X-rays when clinically needed
  • Oral cancer screening
  • Fluoride treatment when appropriate
  • Dental sealants for suitable teeth
  • Personal home-care guidance

Visit our services overview to explore the preventive and general care available at our offices.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry can improve the color, shape, spacing, alignment, and balance of a smile. Still, appearance should not be considered apart from oral health.

Before cosmetic treatment begins, the teeth, gums, bite, and existing restorations should be evaluated. This process helps identify the most conservative and useful option.

Cosmetic services may include:

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is used to repair teeth that have been damaged, decayed, infected, worn, or lost. The goal is to restore health and function while preserving natural tooth structure when possible.

Available restorative services may include:

  • Tooth-colored composite fillings
  • Dental crowns
  • Dental bridges
  • Root canal treatment
  • Full and partial dentures
  • Repair or replacement of old dental work
  • Full-mouth rehabilitation

Treatment needs can range from one filling to a more complex plan. Therefore, the condition of each tooth is reviewed before a restoration is selected.

Explore our restorative dentistry services .

Dental Implants

A dental implant can be used to support a replacement tooth or larger dental prosthesis. The implant is placed within the jawbone. Later, a crown, bridge, or denture may be attached.

Dental implants may be considered for:

  • One missing tooth
  • Several missing teeth
  • An implant-supported bridge
  • An implant-retained denture
  • Full-arch tooth replacement

Candidacy depends on several factors. These include oral health, bone volume, medical history, smoking, bite forces, and home care. Consequently, imaging and a full examination may be required.

Learn more about dental implants at Arguello Dentistry .

Oral Surgery and Tooth Extractions

Oral surgery may be recommended when a tooth cannot be repaired or when the supporting bone or gum tissue must be treated.

Services may include:

  • Tooth extractions
  • Dental implant placement
  • Bone grafting
  • Soft-tissue grafting
  • L-PRF procedures
  • Surgical planning for future tooth replacement

Before a tooth is removed, reasonable repair options should be reviewed. When removal is necessary, replacement choices may also be discussed.

Digital Dental Technology

Dental technology can help us collect clear records and plan treatment. However, technology does not replace professional judgment. Instead, it provides additional clinical information.

Technology available through our practices may include:

Dental Care Built Around the Patient

A dental diagnosis may be clinical, but the treatment experience is personal. Some patients feel relaxed in a dental office. Others arrive with fear, shame, past trauma, or years of delayed care.

Those concerns should not be dismissed. Instead, they should be discussed without judgment.

Our patient-centered approach includes:

  • Listening before making recommendations
  • Explaining findings in clear language
  • Discussing reasonable treatment alternatives
  • Reviewing the risks of delaying needed care
  • Allowing patients to ask questions
  • Respecting comfort, time, and financial concerns
  • Creating plans in manageable stages when appropriate
  • Helping nervous patients understand each next step

No responsible dentist can promise that treatment will be completely painless or last forever. However, clear planning can reduce surprises. Good communication can also make dental care feel more manageable.

Why Choose Arguello Dentistry?

Choosing a dentist involves more than finding the closest office. Patients also need clear communication, useful treatment options, and a team they can trust.

Arguello Dentistry offers:

  • Two convenient Broward County locations
  • Comprehensive family dental care
  • Preventive, cosmetic, restorative, and implant services
  • Modern imaging and digital dental technology
  • English- and Spanish-speaking care
  • Clear explanations of benefits and limitations
  • Personalized treatment instead of standard packages
  • Options for patients with dental fear or anxiety
  • Insurance, financing, and in-house savings options

Most importantly, treatment is not recommended only because it is available. Your oral health, goals, and long-term needs are considered first.

What to Expect at Your First Dental Visit

Your first appointment gives us a chance to learn about your health, concerns, and goals. It also gives you time to decide whether the practice feels right for you.

1. Review of Your Health History

Your medical conditions, medications, allergies, and past dental experiences may be reviewed. This information can affect diagnosis, treatment, and medication choices.

2. Conversation About Your Concerns

Next, tell us what brought you to the office. Pain, sensitivity, fear, appearance, cost, and time concerns can all be discussed.

3. Dental Examination

Your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues may be examined. Existing fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, or implants can also be evaluated.

4. Dental Imaging When Needed

X-rays or other images may be recommended based on your age, history, symptoms, and current oral condition. They are not required at every visit for every patient.

5. Review of Findings

Findings will be explained after the examination. In addition, you can ask questions about the diagnosis and available options.

6. Personalized Next Steps

A treatment plan may be created when care is needed. Some plans can be completed quickly. Others may be divided into stages.

New patients can review our patient information and resources before their appointment.

Protecting Your Teeth Between Dental Visits

Dental treatment is only one part of oral care. Daily habits also affect the health of the teeth and gums.

The American Dental Association recommends brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste. Teeth should also be cleaned between each day.

Helpful habits include:

  • Brush for two minutes, twice a day
  • Use fluoride toothpaste
  • Clean between the teeth every day
  • Limit frequent sugar exposure
  • Drink water throughout the day
  • Avoid tobacco products
  • Wear a sports mouthguard when appropriate
  • Use a night guard when it has been prescribed
  • Attend dental visits based on your individual risk

Dental visit frequency is not the same for every person. Some patients may need one or two visits per year. In contrast, people with gum disease, frequent decay, dry mouth, or complex dental work may need more frequent care.

Read the American Dental Association’s oral-health recommendations for additional home-care guidance.

Dental Insurance, Financing, and Payment Options

Cost can affect when patients seek care. Therefore, treatment fees and expected insurance benefits should be discussed before planned services begin.

Arguello Dentistry accepts several payment methods and works with a range of dental benefit plans. Financing options may also be available for qualified patients.

In addition, an in-house dental savings plan is offered. This option may help patients who do not have traditional dental insurance.

Insurance participation and benefits can change. Moreover, coverage is controlled by each individual plan. It cannot be guaranteed by the dental office.
