Cosmetic Dental Treatment Options in Coconut Creek

Dental Bonding
Dental bonding involves the application and sculpting of a specialized composite dental resin directly onto your teeth by Dr. Emmy This procedure efficiently covers cosmetic imperfections such as chips, stains, and uneven teeth without the need for numbing shots or tooth drilling. It is a quick, cost-effective, and non-invasive solution.
Shaping & Contouring (Enameloplasty)
This process is usually done alongside dental bonding. Using a special buffing tool, Dr. Emmy will smooth out small imperfections in your teeth like chips and uneven teeth, providing you with a more appealing and attractive smile.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are made of durable ceramic materials. They are shaped to cover up and replace the surfaces of your front teeth. Veneers can cover up a wide variety of cosmetic flaws, ranging from chipped teeth to severely stained teeth, gaps between the teeth, and more.
White Spot Treatment (Icon Resinfiltration)
“White spots” are common after orthodontic treatment, and can negatively affect your smile. Icon Resin Infiltration uses a special type of dental resin that helps strengthen and restore the surface of the tooth. It provides fast results, is minimally-invasive, and is a cost-effective alternative to other treatments such as veneers or dental bonding.

Am I A Good Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
An ideal candidate for cosmetic dentistry is someone dissatisfied with their smile due to teeth imperfections, provided they are in good oral health without tooth decay or gum disease. For patients with severely damaged teeth, restorative dentistry may be more suitable, addressing issues beyond cosmetic concerns. While cosmetic dentistry can enhance the aesthetics of minor damage, severe cases may require dental crowns or root canal treatment. It's crucial to have realistic expectations, as cosmetic procedures may not be covered by dental insurance, and a total transformation can be a significant investment. To determine candidacy, a consultation is recommended.

Can I Receive More Than One Cosmetic Treatment?
There's no limit to the number of cosmetic dental treatments you can receive. For those with multiple smile concerns, we recommend a cosmetic makeover consultation, where we create a personalized plan addressing issues like discoloration, chips, and misalignment with the most effective and minimally invasive treatments. Cosmetic makeovers can vary in terms of procedures needed, treatment duration, and cost, as many treatments offer multiple benefits.

What to Expect

Immediately after crown placement, you may experience some minor tooth sensitivity and inflammation that can last for a few days. This can be alleviated with anti-inflammatory pain medication and should subside within a couple of days. We recommend rinsing your mouth with a saltwater solution.

In the long term, brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss once a day. You should attend dental cleanings every 6 months and limit your exposure to staining foods and drinks. If you grind your teeth, wear a mouthguard at night and don’t use your teeth as tools.

You may also want to avoid hard, sticky, and crunchy foods which can break or dislodge your crown. Don’t chew on ice, your fingernails, or on foods like popcorn, nuts, and hard candy.  

Does It Hurt to Get a Dental Crown?

No, a dental crown procedure should not cause any pain. We will administer a topical numbing gel to your mouth before injecting you with a local anesthetic that will numb your entire mouth before filing down your tooth in preparation for the dental crown.
Porcelain crowns are great options for the front teeth but will not last very long and are even at the risk of damage or breakage when placed toward the back of the mouth. While crowns will protect a tooth from damage, they won’t protect you from tooth decay and gum disease if you don’t practice good oral hygiene.

This will be completely painless and although you may feel some pressure or movement, it will not cause any discomfort. Additional sedation is also available upon request if you experience dental anxiety. A dental crown will protect your tooth from painful conditions like infections or broken teeth.

While the procedure will not be painful, once the anesthetic wears off, it’s normal to experience minor tenderness around the area of a tooth as a result of the drilling. This should not be severe and should go away within just a few days.

You can take anti-inflammatory pain medication to get relief in the meantime but if pain persists or becomes intense, you should contact us right away because this is abnormal and could be a sign of an infection.
