Dr. Natalia Bartkova, DDS

How Dr. Bartkova practices

For Dr. Bartkova, an appointment is not finished until the patient understands it. She trained at New York University College of Dentistry and spent two decades practicing in New York City before joining A+ Smile in Fort Lauderdale, and she carries the same habit into every chair: explain the finding, show it on the screen, lay out the options, and let the patient choose without pressure.

Her clinical philosophy is straightforward. A healthy smile starts with strong teeth and healthy gums — not just white ones. She would rather catch a hairline crack or early gum inflammation at a routine visit than rebuild a tooth a year later, which is why her exams tend to run long and her treatment plans tend to start small.

What she treats

Dr. Bartkova handles the everyday backbone of the practice — comprehensive exams, cleanings and periodontal maintenance, fillings, crowns, and the cosmetic work that follows once the foundation is sound. Patients who describe themselves as anxious about dentistry are often referred to her chair on purpose.
