Boca Raton Cosmetic Dentistry Transformations
Porcelain Veneers
Patients who want to completely transform their smiles with just one, simple service may think this isn’t even an option. While it may sound too good to be true, it’s not. We use porcelain veneers to perfect smiles with little to no prep and extremely short treatment times. Because of the way they correct the spacing and positioning of teeth, porcelain veneers are often referred to as “instant orthodontics.” This innovative treatment solution is quick and comfortable. Veneers are thin sheaths of porcelain that affix to the front surfaces of teeth to create a flawless smile, and they take two short visits to create and place. We start by designing the smile you want to see in the mirror. Then, we remove a small amount surface enamel in most cases to allow the veneer to lay flat within the smile line. Finally, we place a temporary, which protects the teeth and allows patients to get used to the look and feel of their veneer. A trusted dental lab will craft the final restoration, and when you return to our office, we’ll exchange your temporary for the final product, leaving you with a gorgeous smile.

Direct Bonding
Direct bonding is another cosmetic treatment that closely mimics a restorative service. Bonding is a process that utilizes the tooth-colored, composite material we use for fillings to repair or conceal cosmetic flaws. The direct bonding process is completed in a single appointment. We simply place the putty-like resin directly onto the tooth to be treated. Then, the resin is shaped to fill in or cover the flawed portion of the tooth. A curing light is applied to the resin to harden the material, and we polish the treated tooth.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is popular cosmetic treatment, but for patients who have deep set staining and discoloration, at-home teeth whitening solutions may not be effective. Instead, our team offers two in-practice professional teeth whitening solutions. Zoom! is a more traditional, one-day whitening option. We apply a professional grade whitening gel to the front facing surfaces of teeth. Then, a light is used to accelerate the whitening process. Some patients see an improvement up to seven to ten shades within an hour. For those with more advanced whitening needs, we also use the KoR deep bleaching system. KoR combines an at-home preparatory whitening treatment with an advanced in-office deep bleaching. This combination allows us to improve the appearance of yellowed and discolored teeth, and in some cases, we can even improve teeth that have tetracycline staining or fluorosis, which isn’t possible with traditional teeth whitening options. Schedule a cosmetic consultation, and our team will help you determine which teeth whitening solution is best for you.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
For patients who prefer a milder form of teeth whitening due to dental sensitivity, those who want to brighten their smiles gradually, or those who want to touch up previous in-office treatments, we can create a customized take-home whitening kit. We use the Opalescence line of products. We’ll create custom crafted application trays, and create a plan that includes wear times and the number of necessary treatment days to help you achieve your desired results.
