Cosmetic Dentist — Fort Lauderdale, FL
Creating Flawless Smiles
Crooked, cracked, and discolored teeth can affect the way you interact with the world. If you have a smile you always hide, you might find yourself avoiding or missing out on life’s biggest events, such as going on that first date or auditioning for the lead role in a play that you just know is meant for you. At Seaside Family Dentistry, our cosmetic dentist in Fort Lauderdale, FL, Dr. Kellner, believes that providing ongoing, extraordinary dental care means offering a wide variety of cosmetic dentistry services, so our dental patients can feel proud of their smile during life’s most important moments.
What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry consists of a suite of services designed to improve the appearance of your teeth. These services allow our Fort Lauderdale cosmetic dentist to brighten, straighten, or reshape your smile so it reaches its full potential just in time for your next big opportunity.
At Seaside Family Dentistry, we specialize in crowns, gum lifts, and tooth-colored fillings, as well as many other services that can change your smile in a time frame that suits your needs.
Our cosmetic dentistry services include the following:
- Crowns: Dental crowns offer a permanent and protective solution for a damaged or broken tooth or teeth. They can be made out of a variety of materials, such as gold or acrylic resin; however, the natural look of porcelain is the preferred material for most crowns.
- Dental Implants: To replace a missing tooth, our Fort Lauderdale cosmetic dentist uses a dental implant made of titanium, mimicking a natural tooth root, and a porcelain crown that looks like a natural tooth. Along with completing your smile and returning it to its natural state, dental implants maintain your facial esthetic by preserving the jawbone and surrounding tissues.
- Orthodontics: Orthodontics is no longer limited to the traditional metal braces so many are familiar with. A straighter smile can sometimes be achieved in less time with clear orthodontic aligners and “invisible” braces.
- Smile Design: Smile design improves both the appearance of your smile and your overall health.
- Teeth Whitening: Dr. Kellner can brighten your smile several shades with either an in-office or at-home bleaching system.
- Porcealin Veneers: Veneers are customized, thin shells made of porcelain or plastic that bond to the front of your teeth. They can give perfect shape and shade to existing teeth, hide stains and chips, and resist discoloration. They also strengthen teeth and provide resilience similar to tooth enamel.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
A stunning smile is possible without breaking the bank. Many factors affect the cost of cosmetic dentistry, but Seaside Family Dentistry has the solutions you need to keep a picture-perfect smile within your budget. Your cosmetic dentist will cater your treatment plan to your preferences, and we offer many financial options to keep cosmetic dentistry affordable for everyone.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
No two situations are identical, so there’s no way to know which procedures are right for you without first examining your mouth. You have several options to address common issues, including:
- Metal-Free Crowns: All-ceramic materials are used to create restorations that look like real teeth to blend in. They are biocompatible and durable to last for years.
- Dental Implants: A dental implant can replace both the root and the crown of a lost tooth. With over a 95% success rate, a dental implant can last for 30 years or more.
- Orthodontics: Braces or clear aligners can fix bite and alignment problems to improve your oral health and functions.
- Teeth Whitening: A highly concentrated whitening agent can get teeth up to 8 shades whiter when used on surface and age-related discoloration.
- Porcelain Veneers: Bonding thin porcelain restorations on the front surfaces of teeth covers several imperfections using one minimally invasive treatment. Your new smile can last for a decade or more.
Cosmetic Dentistry Can Be an Investment Worth Making
You can’t put a price on the benefits of an attractive smile. If you’re embarrassed by your teeth, it’s normal to have insecurities about your appearance. Improving your smile will boost your self-esteem. You’ll benefit from a better quality of life with your newfound confidence. Others will view you differently, too. A pleasing smile is attributed to youth, intelligence, and success. You’ll look more approachable, which can help improve career opportunities.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
Seaside Family Dentistry believes everyone deserves to have a dazzling smile. We offer several options to keep cosmetic dentistry within everyone’s financial means, including:
- Traditional Payments: Our office accepts cash, credit cards, and personal checks for your convenience.
- Dental Insurance: It’s rare for dental insurance to cover elective treatments unless they are medically necessary. However, your dental benefits may cover some of the costs for your consultation, diagnostic services, and preparatory treatments. We will work on your behalf with your dental insurance to utilize any applicable coverage.
- Monthly Payments: You can pay any out-of-pocket expenses using monthly installments through a third-party financing company, like CareCredit. Based on your credit approval, you can enjoy little or no interest in financing.
Our Commitment
A vital part of our standard of care at Seaside Family Dentistry is taking time to get to know your oral health history, your lifestyle, and your smile concerns so our cosmetic dentist can, in partnership with you, design the smile of your dreams.
