Dental Checkups & Cleanings
At Nikfar Family Dental, regular checkups and cleanings are key to a healthy smile. During your visit, we use advanced technology to detect issues early and provide professional cleanings to prevent cavities and gum disease. After your exam, Dr. Sara, Dr. Roxana, and our team will create a custom treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you receive the best care for your long-term oral health.
Gum Disease Treatment
If an infection causes pockets to form that pull your gums away from your teeth, you may have periodontitis and require gum disease treatment. Our in-house periodontist, Dr. Haider Alramli, can administer scaling and root planing to target plaque and tartar as well as harmful bacteria near the tooth roots. Dr. Alramli can also offer osseous surgery should he find it to be more effective.

Nightguards for Bruxism
If you grind or clench your teeth at night — a condition known as bruxism — you may be putting your smile at risk without even knowing it. At Nikfar Family Dental in Orlando, we offer custom-made night guards to help protect your teeth, jaw, and overall oral health while you sleep.
What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism is a common condition where patients unconsciously grind or clench their teeth, often during sleep. Over time, this can lead to worn-down teeth, chipped enamel, cracked teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and even issues with the TMJ (jaw joint).
How a Night Guard Helps
A custom night guard acts as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. Made from high-quality, durable materials and designed specifically for your bite, it cushions the effects of grinding and clenching, reducing strain on your teeth and jaw muscles.
Benefits of Wearing a Night Guard
- Prevents wear, chipping, and cracking of teeth
- Reduces jaw tension and discomfort
- Helps relieve morning headaches and facial soreness
- Protects dental restorations like crowns and veneers
- Promotes better sleep and long-term oral health
Comfortable, Custom Fit
Unlike store-bought guards, our professionally made night guards are custom-fit for your mouth using digital impressions, ensuring comfort, stability, and long-lasting protection.
Sleep Easier, Protect Your Smile
If you’re waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or notice wear on your teeth, a custom night guard may be the solution. Call Nikfar Family Dental in Orlando today to schedule an evaluation and get started on a healthier, more comfortable night’s sleep.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer is a serious disease that often goes undetected because many patients do not regularly see their dentist or symptoms are mistaken for other health conditions. By the time a diagnosis is provided, it can often be too late. However, with an oral cancer screening at our dental office, we can check for abnormalities and lesions during a quick and simple scan. We’ll check for anything that might raise concern, and if we find something that warrants further testing, we’ll make sure you see a local physician who can help.
Fluoride Treatment
Commonly found in toothpaste, fruits and vegetables, and tap water, fluoride is a natural mineral that is often deemed “nature’s cavity fighter.” Its ability to protect teeth against decay as well as strengthen existing enamel is why so many dental professionals continue to recommend these treatments to children, teenagers, and adults alike. With a fast and painless application during a regular dental exam, you can provide your smile with better protection between appointments.
Children’s Dentistry
As a family-focused dental practice, we don’t simply provide services geared toward adult patients. We also incorporate children’s dentistry to help little ones establish a positive mindset about dental care as well as establish good oral habits at an early age. Whether it’s a dental cleaning, fluoride treatment, dental sealants, or more advanced restorative treatment, we are happy to care for the youngest members of your family so that convenient dental care is possible.

Laser Frenectomies for Lip & Tongue Tie Treatment
At Nikfar Family Dental, we use state-of-the-art laser technology to perform gentle and effective frenectomies — a procedure that removes or releases a tight frenum (the connective tissue under the tongue or upper lip). This quick and minimally invasive treatment can significantly improve speech, feeding, breathing, and overall oral function for patients of all ages — especially infants and children.
What Is a Frenectomy?
A frenectomy is a simple procedure that corrects conditions commonly known as tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) or lip-tie, where the frenum is too short, thick, or tight. This can restrict natural movement of the tongue or lip and interfere with important functions like nursing, speaking, or even maintaining oral hygiene.
Laser vs. Traditional Frenectomy
At Nikfar Family Dental, we use a dental laser to perform frenectomies with greater precision, less discomfort, and faster healing compared to traditional surgical methods.
Benefits of Laser Frenectomy
- Minimally invasive – No scalpels or stitches required
- Faster healing – Reduced bleeding and swelling for a quicker recovery
- Gentle and quiet – Ideal for children and infants
- Improved function – Better tongue and lip movement for speech and feeding
- Performed in-office – Safe, efficient, and often completed in a single visit
Who Can Benefit from a Frenectomy?
- Infants struggling with breastfeeding or bottle-feeding
- Toddlers and children with speech difficulties or oral development concerns
- Adults experiencing gum recession, speech issues, or discomfort due to a restrictive frenum
