When your smile has chipped or broken teeth, discoloration, or just wear and tear, a smile makeover with cosmetic dental services can completely transform your smile. Cosmetic dentistry is the art and skill of transforming a patient’s smile into one they’re confident with.
Our Fort Lauderdale cosmetic dentist, Dr. Ty Eriks, DMD, uses cosmetic dentistry services to help his patients create their dream smiles. He utilizes the latest technology and high-quality materials to get you the results you’re looking for at Eriks Dental Group. A free cosmetic dentistry consultation allows you to ask any questions you may have about the treatment process ahead.
A smile makeover includes the cosmetic dental services you choose to repair and restore your teeth. This smile rejuvenation includes different dentistry procedures that help improve how your smile looks and functions. Many cosmetic dentistry procedures can bring dramatic changes to your smile in Fort Lauderdale. Every patient’s needs will be different, meaning each smile makeover is different too.
During a Smile Makeover evaluation, you should share your goals for your transformation with Dr. Eriks. Next, he will perform a dental exam and make professional recommendations for which cosmetic dentistry services will work best for you. From there, you will choose the ones you think will work best. Finally, a custom treatment plan will be made for your smile makeover.
Many cosmetic dentistry services can help improve your smile, including:
Over time, certain foods and beverages, like coffee or wine, and smoking can all affect the color of your teeth. When your teeth have stains or discoloration, teeth whitening can help lighten and brighten your teeth. Teeth whitening is a dental service you have to perform periodically to maintain your results.
These thin porcelain pieces are bonded to the front of your existing teeth. They are created to give you your desired shape, color, contour, or dimensions. Dental veneers can help treat gaps, chipped, broken, or cracked teeth, rotated teeth, crowded teeth, discoloration, or gummy smiles. At Eriks Dental, we frequently use lumineers, which are a special veneer that’s made thin, so very little or no existing tooth enamel is removed before applying them.
Tooth-colored fillings are shaped perfectly and polished to blend with your natural teeth. They can be used on the front teeth to create a better-looking smile. They can also be used on teeth with cavities, old silver fillings, short, small, or chipped teeth or to disguise gaps between teeth.
Implants use a screw that is installed into the jawbone to create a permanent restoration. A crown is placed atop this screw to replace a missing or damaged tooth. They can be used to replace one or many missing teeth.
A misaligned smile can lead to uneven wear, jaw or tooth pain, and even trouble talking or chewing. Your Invisalign aligners will slowly move your teeth to their desired positions. Your treatment time will depend on your existing smile and your smile goals.
When you’re designing your smile, there are many things to consider:
Dr. Eriks will create a custom picture that will show your ideal result, this is called your Smile Design and will allow you to see your finished smile step by step before cosmetic dentistry services begin.
There are many benefits to beginning the journey of a new and improved smile.
Cosmetic dentistry includes any procedure done for aesthetic purposes. However, if you need these services because of an injury or illness, they may be deemed medically necessary. Damage to the mouth increases the risk of infection. Some cosmetic dental services that may be medically necessary include crowns, bonding, bridges, braces, or veneers.
Our experienced dental team can work with your dental insurance to determine what services they will cover. We are in-network for selecting preferred PPO plans and are happy to submit insurance forms for you to help you recover the most from your benefits.
Every patient has different oral health needs. This is why having a smile makeover consultation with Dr. Eriks at our Fort Lauderdale office is so important. He can learn about your smile goals and determine which cosmetic dental services you’ll benefit from most. Best of all, he can create a simulated image to show you what your teeth will look like after the treatment plan is complete. This allows you to envision the steps ahead to determine if you’re ready to get started.
To schedule this important visit and start your journey to a brighter smile in 2025, call our office today at 954-463-5051. We have a welcoming and comfortable environment where you can begin taking steps toward having your dream smile.
