Dental Exams and Preventive Care in Coral Gables, FL

A healthy smile starts with prevention. At Elite Smile Dental Center in Coral Gables, FL, we believe that dentistry should never feel rushed or impersonal—it should feel like care designed just for you. Regular dental exams and preventive care are the cornerstone of lasting oral health, helping detect problems early, maintain gum health, and protect the natural beauty of your smile for years to come.

For Dr. Yelisbet Fernandez, or Dr. Yeli, as her patients warmly call her, prevention goes far beyond checkups and cleanings. Each visit is a genuine conversation about your lifestyle, nutrition, habits, and even stress levels—all of which can influence your oral health. Her approach combines education, compassion, and advanced diagnostics to ensure your smile receives the thoughtful care it deserves.

Your visit begins in a relaxed, family-friendly setting where you’ll feel comfortable and cared for. Dr. Fernandez or one of our hygienists will:

• Review your medical history and any changes in your overall health.
• Take digital X-rays if needed for a detailed look at your teeth and bone.
• Examine your gums for early signs of inflammation or disease.
• Check each tooth for decay, wear, or fractures.
• Assess your bite alignment and jaw movement.
• Perform an oral cancer screening.

If you need a cleaning during your visit, we’ll remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish your teeth, and discuss personalized recommendations for home care. Each appointment ends with time for questions—because understanding your oral health is as important as maintaining it.

At Elite Smile Dental Center, prevention is never one-size-fits-all. Dr. Yeli creates a customized plan for each patient based on their oral condition, health goals, and risk factors. Your plan may include:
Routine cleanings every six months.

• Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and prevent decay.
• Sealants to protect hard-to-clean grooves in molars.
• Nightguards to prevent teeth grinding (bruxism).
• Nutritional and home-care guidance tailored to your habits.

Every detail is designed to help you maintain a radiant, healthy smile with the least amount of intervention possible.

Patients throughout Coral Gables visit Elite Smile Dental Center not only for exceptional dentistry, but for the way it feels. Dr. Fernandez treats every patient as part of her extended family—listening without judgment, explaining with clarity, and celebrating every small victory along the way.

Preventive visits here don’t feel rushed or routine—they feel like a relationship built on trust and shared responsibility for your health.

Whether it’s a young professional visiting for their first exam in years or a family maintaining their regular care, every patient receives the same thoughtful attention.
