Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is an area of dentistry that addresses the aesthetic qualities of your smile. Cosmetic dentists like Dr. Stanley, Swartz, Rife and Crane in Venice and Sarasota, Florida can correct almost any problem you have with your smile in an aesthetically pleasing way.  The Smile Centre uses new materials that are more natural looking and stronger than what was available even just few years ago.

No matter what dental problems you are suffering from, a cosmetic dentist will find a solution that will both restore the function of your teeth as well as the look. If you would like to improve your smile in anyway, a cosmetic dentist can help you.

Cosmetic dentists use a variety of different procedures to provide their patients with beautiful, straight, white smiles. The Smile Centre provides cosmetic dentistry patients with:

• Porcelain Veneers

  – strong, natural looking porcelain laminates that are bonded to the front of teeth to correct chipped teeth, discolored, worn teeth,  misshapen teeth, and crooked teeth

• Dental Implants

  – Small titanium rods that replace missing roots to restore one or more missing teeth, anchor dental bridges, or anchor dentures.

• Crowns and Bridges

  - porcelain restorations that are used to either correct decayed or damaged teeth where fillings won't work, or fill the gap created by a missing tooth.

• Tooth Colored Fillings

  - tooth colored fillings used to fill damage caused by cavities or small chips. Natural looking fillings can also be used to replace unsightly metal fillings, providing you with dental restorations that are strong and indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth.

• Tooth Whitening

  - one of the most common cosmetic dentistry procedures. Tooth whitening can be performed to lighten discoloration caused by age, dark foods, or even chemicals, like tetracycline.

• Dental Bonding

  - composite resin that can be adhered to your teeth to correct chips, cracks, and many other aesthetic problems.  While not as strong or long-lasting as all-porcelain restorations, bonding is a viable cosmetic treatment option for minor dental challenges.

• Botox Cosmetic®

   - a protein used to relax muscles of the lips, cheeks, and face for up to 3 or 4 months thereby reducing or eliminating wrinkles.  Botox® can also be used for medical challenges such as headaches related to TMJ and Craniofacial Pain (CFP).

• Juvederm®

  - a natural dermal filler used to plump lips and decrease wrinkles and hollowed areas of the skin around the mouth and cheeks non-surgically.  It is a naturally occurring gel-like substance in the human body (also known as hyaluronic acid) which provides a network of molecules that adhere to water molecules and plump tissues.  The benefits of Juvederm Ultra Plus® lasts approximately 9 months to a year.
