Prosthodontist Palm Beach County

If you have been searching for a maxillofacial prosthodontist in Palm Beach County, you already know that not every dental office offers the same level of training or experience. Missing teeth, worn-down bites, and complex restorations require more than a routine cleaning and filling practice can provide. At Ocean Breeze Implant & Esthetic Dentistry, we built our practice around advanced restorative and reconstructive care so patients throughout the county have a trusted place to turn.

Our team is led by Dr. Nicholas Goetz, a maxillofacial prosthodontist who brings advanced training and hands-on clinical experience to every patient we treat. We know choosing the right dental provider can feel overwhelming, especially when your case involves more than a simple procedure. This page walks you through what a maxillofacial prosthodontist does, why that distinction matters, and how our team approaches care for patients across Palm Beach County.

What Is a Maxillofacial Prosthodontist?

A maxillofacial prosthodontist is a dental provider who completes additional training beyond dental school to focus on the restoration and replacement of teeth, oral structures, and facial tissues. According to the American College of Prosthodontists, maxillofacial prosthodontists are specialists in the restoration and replacement of missing teeth and oral or facial structures with natural, esthetic, and functional replacements. This training covers a wide range of care, from single tooth replacement to full mouth reconstruction.

Dr. Goetz is one of approximately 150 maxillofacial prosthodontists in the United States. His path to this distinction began with a dental degree, a master’s degree, and a prosthodontic residency at the University of Florida. He then completed a maxillofacial prosthodontics fellowship at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he built additional skills in complex oral rehabilitation. Before opening our practice, he served as a civilian maxillofacial prosthodontist with the U.S. Army and the VA Medical Hospital, gaining experience with a wide variety of patients and case types.

Why This Training Matters for Complex Cases

Not every dental concern calls for a maxillofacial prosthodontist, but when a case involves multiple missing teeth, jaw structure changes, or the need for a full mouth rebuild, this training becomes essential. General dentists are highly capable providers, yet advanced restorative and reconstructive cases often benefit from the deeper training a maxillofacial prosthodontist completes.

We see patients who have been told their case is too complicated, or who have tried treatments elsewhere that did not hold up over time. Our approach starts with a full evaluation of your bite, jaw structure, and remaining healthy teeth so we can build a plan around your specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Comprehensive Prosthodontic Care Across Palm Beach County

We proudly serve patients from Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Highland Beach, Ocean Ridge, and surrounding Palm Beach County communities. Wherever you are coming from, our goal is the same: to give you a comfortable, thorough experience and a smile that functions the way it should. Our services include the following.

  • Dental implants: We provide implant-supported solutions for patients missing one tooth or many, restoring both function and appearance.
  • Full mouth reconstruction: For patients with widespread damage or missing teeth, we rebuild the entire bite using a combination of restorative techniques.
  • Fixed and removable prosthodontics: We offer both permanent and removable options so you can choose the solution that best fits your lifestyle and goals.
  • TMJ treatment: Jaw joint pain and dysfunction can affect your bite and comfort, and we work to identify the root cause before recommending treatment.

Technology That Supports Careful Planning

Every case we take on benefits from CBCT scanning technology, which gives us a detailed three-dimensional view of your jaw, teeth, and surrounding structures before we begin treatment. This technology helps us plan with precision, but it does not replace the clinical judgment and hands-on skill that come from years of training and experience. We use CBCT imaging as one part of a much larger process built on careful evaluation and individualized planning.

This kind of planning matters most in complex cases, where small details can affect the long-term success of a restoration. We take the time to review your imaging, discuss your goals, and build a treatment plan that reflects your specific anatomy and needs. You should never feel like you are just another case on a schedule.

What Sets Our Approach Apart

Choosing a provider for prosthodontic care is a significant decision, and we want you to feel informed every step of the way. Here is what you can expect when you choose our team.

  • A thorough initial evaluation: We start with a comprehensive exam and imaging review, so we fully understand your case before recommending treatment.
  • A treatment plan built around your goals: Whether you want a single implant or a full mouth rebuild, we design a plan that reflects your priorities and timeline.
  • Ongoing communication throughout treatment: We explain each step along the way so you always know what to expect next.
  • A comfortable, welcoming environment: From your first visit through your final follow-up, our team is here to answer questions and ease any concerns.

We also understand that dental insurance can be confusing, particularly for advanced restorative work. While we are not in-network with insurance companies, we will still help you get the most out of your plan. We file claims on your behalf and assist you in securing any reimbursement your PPO plan allows, so cost does not have to stand between you and the care you need.

Meet Dr. Nicholas Goetz

Periodontal maintenance at a prosthodontic practice means your gum health is monitored by a clinician who also understands how bone and tissue changes affect the longevity of implants, crowns, bridges, and dentures — not just the teeth themselves. Dr. Nicholas Goetz completed a Prosthodontic Residency at the University of Florida and a Maxillofacial Prosthodontics Fellowship at UCLA, where the relationship between periodontal health and restorative outcomes is a central focus of the curriculum. Dr. Goetz is one of approximately 150 board-certified maxillofacial prosthodontists in the United States. For patients in Boynton Beach and throughout Palm Beach County who are managing periodontal disease alongside complex dental work — implants, full-mouth reconstructions, or prosthetics — having maintenance conducted by a specialist who understands both dimensions of care is a meaningful advantage. Learn more about Dr. Goetz and his clinical background. — it requires a clinician who understands how teeth function under load and how restorations integrate with the full bite. Dr. Nicholas Goetz brings that depth of training to every case he plans in Boynton Beach.

Dr. Goetz holds a DMD and MS from the University of Florida, where he completed his Prosthodontic Residency, and followed that with a Maxillofacial Prosthodontics Fellowship at UCLA. He is among approximately 150 board-certified maxillofacial prosthodontists in the United States — a distinction that reflects training well beyond the scope of general cosmetic dentistry. His background includes clinical work with the U.S. Army and VA Medical Center.

For patients considering veneers, that background means the planning process accounts for bite mechanics, gum tissue health, and long-term durability alongside the cosmetic design — so the final result looks as good at year 15 as it does at placement.

Veneers vs. Bonding: Which Conservative Treatment Is Right for Your Goals?

The desire for a beautiful, confident smile drives many patients to seek cosmetic dental solutions.

Are Teeth Veneers Right For Me? All You Need to Know

What Are Porcelain Veneers? Dental veneers are porcelain or composite restorations that are attached to the outside part of the teeth and with which both the color and shape of the teeth are modified. Treatment with dental veneers allows you to change the structure of the front teeth, and achieve a whiter, more harmonious and beautiful smile. One of the characteristics of dental veneers is that you can get spectacular results without hardly intervening on the natural tooth. It is therefore a treatment that is modern, aesthetic and micro invasive. What Do We Achieve with
