Starting Your Dental Journey with Us

Choosing a new dentist is a big decision, and we want to make it an easy one for you and your family. At Goodshine Dental in Tamarac, FL, we welcome new patients of all ages, from children just starting their first cleanings to adults looking for a long term dental home they can trust.

We know that many people put off dental visits because of past experiences, busy schedules, or simply not knowing what to expect. Our goal is to remove that hesitation. From your very first phone call to your first appointment, our team focuses on clear communication, a relaxed environment, and care that is tailored to you rather than a one size fits all checklist.

Whether you are new to Tamarac, switching dentists, or returning to care after a long break, you will find a team here that listens first and treats you like a person, not just the next patient on the schedule.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

A Warm Welcome

When you arrive, our front desk team will greet you and help you complete any remaining paperwork. We recommend arriving a few minutes early for your first visit.

Comprehensive Exam

Dr. Menekse will review your dental and health history, discuss any concerns, and perform a thorough exam using digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to get a full picture of your oral health.

Clear, Honest Recommendations

We will walk you through any findings in plain language and explain your treatment options, along with the cost, so you can make an informed decision with no pressure.

Building Your Plan

If treatment is needed, we will work with you to build a plan and schedule that fits your goals, timeline, and budget.
