Cosmetic Dentist Lake Mary, FL
A better smile is usually a series of small, well-chosen decisions rather than one dramatic procedure. We start with what your teeth can support.
Cosmetic dentistry covers the treatments that change how teeth look: whitening, bonding, veneers and aligners. The order matters. Healthy gums and sound teeth come first, because cosmetic work placed on an unstable foundation does not last. At your consultation we look at both, then discuss what is realistic.
Who this is for
- Discoloured teeth that have not responded to whitening
- Chipped, worn or uneven front teeth
- Small gaps or crowding that you would like to close
- Old fillings or crowns that no longer match your other teeth
Cosmetic Dentist Lake Mary – What the Visit Involves
- An examination of teeth, gums and bite before any cosmetic plan
- Photographs and a conversation about what you want to change
- Options, including the choice to do nothing or to stage treatment
- A written estimate for each option, with realistic limitations
Options we may discuss
Whitening
The least invasive way to change tooth colour.
Composite bonding
Direct shaping of chipped or uneven edges, usually in one visit.
Veneers – Cosmetic Dentist Lake Mary
Thin restorations for shape and colour, with some enamel preparation.
Clear aligners
For crowding or spacing, before any cosmetic work.
What affects the cost
Cosmetic treatment is priced per tooth or per arch, so the total depends on how many teeth are involved and which option you choose. Nothing is started until you have the fee in writing. Cosmetic work is usually not covered by dental insurance, and we will tell you when a treatment is elective.
Aftercare and maintenance
Bonding and veneers need care around the edges, and whitening needs occasional maintenance. We explain the maintenance each option requires before you decide, because it affects how long the result lasts.
Cosmetic Dentistry: common questions
Will veneers look natural?
They can, if the shape, colour and thickness are planned around your face and the neighbouring teeth. We will show you what is realistic for your teeth rather than promise a perfect result.
Do I need whitening before veneers?
Sometimes. Whitening first can mean less enamel needs to be removed for the veneer to match. It depends on the current colour of your teeth.
Are there risks?
Yes. Enamel preparation is permanent, sensitivity is possible, and restorations can chip or need replacing. We discuss these before you decide, along with the do-nothing option.
Can cosmetic work fix crooked teeth?
Veneers can change the appearance of mild irregularity, but moving teeth with aligners is often the healthier route. We will tell you when alignment is the better first step.
