Specialty Dental Medicine - A New Standard of Care in the Florida Keys

Most people think of a dental office as a place you go for routine cleanings, fillings, and the occasional crown. While those services are important, some dental situations require much more than a standard check-up. At Keys Dental Specialists of Marathon, we’ve created something different, a patient-centered approach we call Specialty Dental Medicine.

What Makes Us Different

Our new Marathon location isn’t just a general dental office, it’s a true team of specialists under one roof. While we do have experienced general dentists for preventive and basic restorative care, we also have:

• Dual-degree MD Oral Surgeons – specialists trained in both medicine and dentistry for advanced surgical procedures.
• Endodontic Specialists – an expert in saving natural teeth through root canal therapy and other precision treatments.
• Dental implant experts – including advanced solutions for patients with severe bone loss, such as zygomatic implants.
• Prosthodontic and restorative expertise – for complex reconstructions and aesthetic smile design.
• Cosmetic Specialists – providing advanced aesthetic dentistry, including veneers, bonding, whitening, and smile makeovers to enhance both appearance and confidence.
• Hygiene -comprehensive preventive care through professional cleanings, periodontal therapy, and patient education to maintain optimal oral health and prevent future dental issues.

This means whether you need a simple filling or a full mouth reconstruction, you’re receiving care from the right specialist for your situation, without having to drive hours or be referred elsewhere.

Your Initial Visit: The Foundation for Bespoke Care

Your first appointment at Keys Dental Specialists of Marathon is an evaluation and record-gathering visit.

Here’s why:

1. Comprehensive Evaluation – We review your medical and dental history, take diagnostic images, and thoroughly examine your oral health.
2. Specialist Matching – Based on your needs, we determine which specialist (or combination of specialists) will provide the best outcome.
3. Personalized Treatment Plan – You leave knowing exactly what your next step will be, whether that’s meeting with an oral surgeon, an endodontist, or starting with general dental care.

This approach avoids wasted time, reduces unnecessary visits, and ensures you’re always working with the right expert.

Why Specialty Dental Medicine Benefits Patients

• Convenience – Multiple specialists in one location mean fewer referrals and less travel.
• Accuracy – Having the correct diagnosis and plan from day one prevents delays and missteps.
• Collaboration – Our specialists work together, sharing records and insights to achieve the best results.
• Advanced Solutions – From complex implant cases to facial trauma, we can address needs that most general practices simply can’t.
• Long-Term Oral Health – By pairing the right provider with the right treatment from the start, we improve outcomes and protect your investment in your smile.

Setting a New Standard in Dentistry

Specialty Dental Medicine represents the future of patient care. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, it’s a precision-based, specialist-driven approach that treats every patient as unique. It’s how we ensure the people of Marathon and the entire Florida Keys receive the same caliber of dental care found in the nation’s top metropolitan centers, without leaving the island.

If you’re ready for a new kind of dental experience, one where your needs determine your provider and not the other way around, we invite you to schedule your first visit with us.
