New patients coming to Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics often arrive with real questions and not much clarity about what a first visit to a prosthodontic practice actually involves. Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics offers something different from a routine dental checkup — a comprehensive evaluation led by Dr. Nicholas Goetz, a fellowship-trained maxillofacial prosthodontist and one of approximately 150 of his specialty in the United States. Every new patient appointment at our Boynton Beach office is designed to give you a complete picture of your oral health and a clear path forward.
Every cosmetic dentist in Boynton Beach can whiten teeth and place composite bonding. What they can’t offer is the training of a board-certified maxillofacial prosthodontist. Dr. Goetz’s specialty — one of dentistry’s most advanced — focuses entirely on restoring teeth, bite function, and facial esthetics. That means when he designs your veneers, plans your smile makeover, or recommends a treatment, he’s evaluating how it will function under your bite for the next decade, not just how it looks at the appointment.
Every cosmetic case at Ocean Breeze begins with a full digital evaluation — intraoral scanning, bite analysis, and a digital smile design preview — so you see your projected result before any treatment begins. Explore all of our dental services available in Boynton Beach.
Your first appointment at Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics is unhurried and thorough. Dr. Goetz and his team take time to understand your concerns, review your history, and conduct a complete evaluation before making any recommendations. Patients considering dental implants, full mouth reconstructions, or All-on-X full arch restoration often arrive unsure of where to begin — and the first appointment is exactly the right place to start that conversation.
Every new patient at Ocean Breeze receives a comprehensive evaluation that goes well beyond a standard checkup. Dr. Goetz’s prosthodontic background means he evaluates your teeth, bite alignment, existing restorations, gum health, and jaw function together — not as isolated concerns. According to the American Dental Association’s MouthHealthy guide on dental visits, a thorough first visit should always include a medical history review alongside a complete oral examination — and that is exactly how we begin.
Your appointment opens with a thorough health history conversation. Dr. Goetz or a team member will ask about existing medical conditions, current medications, prior dental work, and any concerns or goals you have. This matters because your overall health directly affects your dental care plan, and nothing is reviewed in isolation.
Dr. Goetz conducts a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, bite, jaw function, and surrounding tissue. For patients arriving with existing restorations, implants, dentures, or prior prosthodontic work, he evaluates the condition and longevity of that existing work as part of your baseline. An oral cancer screening is also included as part of every new patient exam.
Depending on your needs, Dr. Goetz may take digital X-rays or use CBCT scanning technology to produce a three-dimensional image of your teeth, bone structure, and surrounding anatomy. Our dental CT scan technology gives him the precise diagnostic data needed to make confident, accurate recommendations. Intraoral scanning captures a precise digital model of your teeth without the discomfort of traditional impressions.
Dr. Goetz walks you through exactly what he found, what it means for your oral health, and what your options are going forward. There is no pressure to commit to a treatment plan at the first visit. You leave with a clear understanding of your oral health and a realistic picture of what care, if any, makes sense for you.
Most dentists offering new patient exams in Boynton Beach are general practitioners. Dr. Nicholas Goetz is a fellowship-trained maxillofacial prosthodontist — his entire specialty is built around restoring teeth, bite function, and oral health at the highest clinical level.
Because he evaluates how teeth function together — not just how they look — his new patient exams uncover concerns that standard checkups often miss. Every appointment begins with a full digital evaluation so you see the complete picture of your oral health before any recommendations are made. For patients with complex needs, care at Ocean Breeze spans prosthodontic treatments, cosmetic dentistry, and general dentistry — all coordinated under one roof.
Dr. Goetz serves patients throughout Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, and Palm Beach County, with a background built for cases that other providers find complex.
Whether you are coming in with a specific concern, exploring treatment options for the first time, or simply looking for a dental home you can trust in Boynton Beach, Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics offers the specialist-level evaluation that general dental offices cannot match.
