COSMETIC DENTIST - ORMOND BEACH, FL

How Do I Fix Chips and Cracks in My Teeth?

Damaged teeth are likely to require restorative care to fully treat, but that doesn’t mean cosmetics have to fall by the wayside. Our metal-free dental crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and other restorations are crafted from high-quality ceramic materials, and they blend flawlessly with the surrounding teeth. Metal-free restorations even have the same translucent qualities as tooth enamel, in addition to being surprisingly durable and biocompatible.

If you’re experiencing a minor chip or crack that’s noticeable but otherwise relatively harmless to your oral health, direct bonding is another potential treatment solution. The treatment can be completed in a single appointment, during which one of our doctor will apply tooth-colored composite resin (the same material we use for fillings) to the tooth and sculpt it into a pleasing addition that effectively covers the imperfection. Direct bonding can also correct severe dental staining, small gaps, and misshapen teeth.

How Can I Lighten Dark and Stained Teeth?

Teeth whitening gives smiles a much-needed boost of brightness, and both in-office and take-home options are available depending on your personal preferences and timeline.

Are you interested in achieving results as soon as possible? Do you have a big event coming up (a wedding, a graduation ceremony, etc) where you would love to look your very best? In-office teeth whitening is fast and highly effective. The procedure only takes a single appointment, and patients can expect to see a smile that’s several shades brighter afterwards. Do you prefer more gradual and natural results for your teeth whitening? Is your busy schedule in need of some flexibility? Take-home whitening kits provide the same great improvements, just revealed more gradually. All you need to do is wear your high-grade whitening gel and personalized oral trays together for a prescribed amount of time each day, whenever you have the time to do so. Many patients see a change after the very first application, with the most beautiful improvements showing up after a few weeks of use.

Direct Bonding

Do you have minor flaws that are taking away from the overall appearance of your smile? Direct bonding is an affordable, non-invasive way to correct small chips, gaps, cracks, stains, and misshapen or undersized teeth. Your dentist will sculpt tooth-colored composite resin to the tooth for a flawless, natural-looking finish. The best part is that you don’t need to undergo multiple appointments or a time-consuming procedure. This can be completed in a single appointment, usually in less than an hour!

How Do I Fix Gaps Between My Teeth?

You may expect to find that the answer is “traditional braces,” but we understand that this option isn’t right for every patient. Wearing noticeable wires and brackets for months or even years on end may not be feasible for teenagers and adults who value their appearance. That’s why our practice offers Invisalign as an alternative. This treatment plan uses clear aligners customized for your unique smile. They’re also conveniently removable and typically faster than traditional orthodontic treatment. If the gap is very small, our doctor may also recommend direct bonding as a quick and cost-effective solution.

What Will My New Smile Look Like?

The prospect of committing to a cosmetic transformation is exciting for many patients and daunting for others. After all, it’s possible that your new look won’t be what you were hoping for. Thankfully, our Ormond Beach cosmetic dentists can alleviate these worries with our virtual smile design technology. All we need is a current picture of you, which can be manipulated to show the results of certain cosmetic treatments that you may be interested in.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry

You don’t have to be rich or famous to benefit from cosmetic dentistry. Although many people believe it’s too expensive, there are solutions to fit all budgets. Various factors affect the cost of cosmetic dentistry in Ormond Beach, but we strive to keep our services affordable for everyone. We’ll create the personalized plan you need for a picture-perfect smile that won’t drain your bank account.

Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?

Every mouth is unique, just like your fingerprints. Not to mention, everyone has different concerns, which is why there’s no cookie-cutter strategy to create beautiful smiles. Instead, your cosmetic dentist in Ormond Beach will examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to determine which procedures are right for you, like:

• Porcelain Veneers: Fix several aesthetic flaws at once using a minimally invasive procedure.
• Teeth Whitening: Get your teeth up to 8 shades whiter using an in-office or at-home solution.
• Invisalign: Correct bite and alignment issues using clear plastic aligners.
• Direct Bonding: A composite resin can treat minor imperfections in one appointment.

Every procedure has a different cost, which your dentist will consider when creating your treatment plan. You’ll know exactly what you’ll have to pay before committing to anything.

Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making

You can’t put a price on the benefits you’ll enjoy by improving your smile. Not only will you boost your self-esteem, but you’ll turn back the clock to look younger. You’ll have a successful appearance that can lead to new job opportunities; however, a better outlook on life isn’t the only advantage. Certain cosmetic procedures can improve your oral health to reduce your future dental expenses. You can feel confident in the decision you’re making with our Virtual Smile Design technology. You can see the exact changes that will be made and your results before getting started. You’ll see what your new smile will look like to ensure the money you’re spending will be worth it.

How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable

Cosmetic dentistry isn’t as expensive as some rumors you might have heard. Not to mention, we offer many financial solutions to keep your new smile affordable. After reviewing your estimate, a member of our team will explain your payment options, including:

• Traditional Payments: We accept all forms of traditional payment methods, including cash, checks, and credit cards.
• Dental Insurance: It’s uncommon for dental insurance to pay for elective services, but there are exceptions. Some cosmetic procedures can be used for restorative purposes, like dental bonding. If your cosmetic dentist determines a procedure is medically necessary, you can use your coverage to offset the cost. We will help you maximize any appropriate benefits to lower the amount you’ll pay.
• Monthly Payments: Pay for your treatment using monthly installments with little or no interest financing.
• Patient Specials: Ask us about any ongoing patient promotions.
