Good information - not dental advice.

Last updated: October 15, 2026

This website is owned and operated by Westside Dental Center, the dental practice of Dr. Uttma Dham, DMD, at 51 NW 100 Ave, Plantation, FL 33324. Please read this disclaimer carefully before relying on anything you see on this site. It should be read together with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

1. General Information Only

Everything on this website - including descriptions of treatments, articles, frequently asked questions, videos and the answers given by our website assistant - is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not dental or medical advice, and it is not a substitute for an examination, diagnosis or treatment plan from a licensed dentist who has evaluated you in person. Dental conditions vary from person to person; what is right for one patient may not be right for you. Never disregard professional advice or delay seeking care because of something you read on this site.

2. No Doctor - Patient Relationship

Using this website, reading its content, submitting a contact or appointment request form, or exchanging messages with our website assistant does not create a doctor - patient relationship with Dr. Dham or Westside Dental Center. A doctor - patient relationship is established only after you have been seen and accepted as a patient at our office.

3. Dental Emergencies

This website is not monitored around the clock and must not be used for urgent or emergency communication. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that is spreading toward your eye or neck, bleeding that will not stop, a head or jaw injury, or any other medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately. For a dental emergency during office hours, please call us at (954) 476-4535 rather than sending a form or chat message.

4. Website Assistant (Chat)

The chat feature on this website is an automated assistant. It answers from the information published on this website and from our office details (such as hours, location and services). It cannot examine you, cannot diagnose or treat any condition, cannot see our appointment schedule, and may occasionally give an incomplete or outdated answer. Please do not share detailed health information through the chat. If you leave your contact details, a member of our team will contact you during office hours; an appointment is not confirmed until you hear from us.

5. Treatment Results, Photos and Testimonials

Before-and-after photographs on this website show actual patients of Westside Dental Center and are used with their permission. Patient stories, videos and reviews reflect those individuals' own experiences and opinions. Every patient is different: results depend on your oral health, anatomy, habits and how closely the treatment plan is followed. The results shown are not a promise or guarantee of the outcome you will achieve, and no treatment is guaranteed to be successful.

6. Special Offers and Pricing

Any promotional offers, discounts or prices shown on this website (including any new patient special or complimentary consultation) are subject to change or withdrawal without notice, apply only as described in the offer, cannot be combined with other offers or insurance benefits unless stated, and may be limited to new patients. Offers are not a substitute for a clinical exam; additional treatment, if recommended, will be quoted separately. A written estimate will always be provided before treatment begins.

Notice required by Florida law (Florida Statutes §456.062): THE PATIENT AND ANY OTHER PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT HAS A RIGHT TO REFUSE TO PAY, CANCEL PAYMENT, OR BE REIMBURSED FOR PAYMENT FOR ANY OTHER SERVICE, EXAMINATION, OR TREATMENT THAT IS PERFORMED AS A RESULT OF AND WITHIN 72 HOURS OF RESPONDING TO THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE FREE, DISCOUNTED FEE, OR REDUCED FEE SERVICE, EXAMINATION, OR TREATMENT.

7. Insurance and Financing

Information about dental insurance and payment options is provided as a courtesy. Whether a treatment is covered, and how much, is determined by your insurance carrier under the terms of your plan - not by this website or our office. Verifying your benefits before treatment is an estimate, not a guarantee of payment. Third-party financing is subject to the lender's own approval and terms. You are responsible for all fees for services you receive, regardless of insurance payment.

8. Appointment Requests

Appointment requests made through this website, our online booking service or the chat are requests only. They are not confirmed until our office contacts you to confirm a date and time.

9. Third-Party Websites and Services

This website links to services operated by other companies - for example our online booking platform, Google reviews and maps, YouTube, social media and financing providers. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices, and we are not responsible for their content, availability or how they handle your information.

10. Accuracy and Changes

We make reasonable efforts to keep this website current and accurate, but it may contain errors, omissions or information that is out of date, and it is provided "as is". Office hours, services, technology, team members, offers and policies may change at any time without notice. If anything on this website differs from what you are told by our team at the office, the information from our team applies.

11. Reviews and Ratings

Review counts and star ratings shown on this website are drawn from third-party platforms such as Google and change over time. They represent the opinions of the people who wrote them and are not an endorsement or guarantee by Westside Dental Center.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Westside Dental Center, Dr. Uttma Dham and our team are not liable for any loss, injury or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, this website or its content. Nothing in this disclaimer limits any rights you have under Florida law that cannot be excluded.

13. Questions

If you have any questions about this disclaimer or anything on our website, please call (954) 476-4535 or email Westsidedmd@gmail.com. We're always happy to talk things through in person.
