Cosmetic Dentistry in Tampa

How Cosmetic Dentistry Can Help You

Cosmetic dentistry is designed to focus on the aesthetics of your smile. The treatments used can help conceal flaws, whiten teeth, and fully transform your appearance. However, that’s not all. What you will discover is that cosmetic dental treatments also improve other aspects of your overall health, including your mental and emotional well-being.

When hiding cracks, chips, stains, misshapen teeth, gaps, misalignment, and even fine lines and wrinkles, you’ll soon feel good about what you see in the mirror. As a result, you’ll become more confident, happy, and eager to pursue new opportunities that come your way professionally and personally.

Veneers

Concealing smile imperfections like stains, gaps, chips, and cracks can be accomplished with the help of customized veneers. These thin shells commonly crafted from porcelain fit onto the front surfaces of teeth to create a new appearance – one that can last up to 15 years with proper care. The process of receiving veneers requires at least two appointments and the removal of a small portion of enamel, making it a semi-permanent solution.

Metal-Free Restorations

Metal-free restorations can be used for restorative and cosmetic purposes. Whether it’s a decayed tooth that needs protection or one that needs to be covered up because of heavy stains and discoloration, our zirconia crowns can deliver natural-looking results. The best part is that they are highly durable, so they can withstand daily wear and tear just like those made of metal.

Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding is recommended when a minor imperfection needs to be concealed. A small chip, stain, or gap can be easily covered with composite resin – the same material that is used for tooth-colored fillings. When applied to the enamel, Dr. Patrino will shape it to hide the flaws and create a durable and visually pleasing smile. It requires only one visit to our office to complete, and the results can last up to a decade.

Teeth Whitening

Over-the-counter whitening products do not produce the kind of results most patients are looking to achieve. Their lackluster bleaching solution and one-size-fits-all strips and trays can cause uneven results. However, with professional Zoom! Whitening from our dental office, Dr. Patrino can remove intrinsic, extrinsic, and even age-related stains in a single hour. Not only will you experience a safer, more comfortable whitening treatment, but you’ll have a brighter smile you can enjoy once and for all.

Botox®

When visiting Advanced Dental Associates of South Tampa, you might not expect to discover that our dentist also offers Botox® to those who want to eliminate their fine lines and wrinkles. As a properly trained professional, Dr. Patrino can create a more youthful smile and facial appearance in just one visit. With carefully placed injections, he can temporarily relax facial muscles to prevent further contraction. In turn, this creates smoother facial skin that can last for months.

Smile Makeovers

Stained teeth can usually be treated with professional in-office whitening. A small chip can be addressed with cosmetic bonding. But what can be done to address an array of smile imperfections? If this is your situation, you might benefit from a customized smile makeover. Instead of treating each flawed area individually, we will bring together multiple cosmetic and restorative services into one comprehensive plan so that you can prepare to experience a more streamlined approach that leads to a beautiful, flawless smile.
