Enjoy a Smile That Makes You Feel Like Showing it Off!

The term “cosmetic dentistry” gets tossed around a lot these days, but what does it really mean for you? Some people think that cosmetic dentistry involves complex procedures that totally revamp a smile. It can involve that, but it also includes very conservative treatments that can be completed in a single visit. Cosmetic dentistry from our Orlando, FL dentist is any procedure, big or small, that improves the appearance of a smile.

The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

With cosmetic dentistry, we can:

  • Close gaps and correct misalignments
  • Cover, remove, or lighten stains
  • Alter tooth texture, shape, or size
  • Replace missing teeth
  • Reshape gum tissue
  • Completely redesign a smile

Dr. John Russo has over 25 years of experience as a cosmetic dentist. He offers the latest treatments, including porcelain veneers, bonding, esthetic reshaping, gingival recontouring (gum lift), and Zoom! Whitening, for high-quality results in a short time frame. When you visit our Orlando dental office for a consultation, he’ll discuss your goals and concerns, examine your oral health, and recommend treatments catered to your specific needs. He may show you before-and-after photos of cases similar to yours. Quicker, stronger, and more natural-looking than ever, modern cosmetic dental treatments give you a reason to smile!

Porcelain Veneers

What makes a smile attractive? Is it the shade of enamel? The right alignment? Or perhaps it’s the overall size, shape, and texture of teeth. What if you could create your vision of an ideal smile, and then make that vision a reality in as few as two appointments? That’s what Dr. Russo and Veneers can do for you.

Sometimes called “instant orthodontics,” veneers are thin shells of porcelain placed over existing, minimally prepared teeth. They allow Dr. Russo to improve the color, shape, size, alignment, and texture of teeth. Best of all, veneers usually require only two visits for placement. Improvements in the quality of porcelains and advancements in bonding agents and techniques have made achieving a flawless smile easier than ever.

Your veneer treatment may involve:

  • A cosmetic dentistry consultation with Dr. Russo
  • A smile analysis, including photos and wax simulation models
  • Pre-placement enhancements, such as whitening
  • Light tooth reduction to make room for the veneers
  • Temporary veneers to give you a preview of your new smile
  • Final adjustments and polishing to complete your new look

All-Ceramic Dental Restorations

Having our teeth treated shouldn’t be a battle between what your oral health needs and what your beautiful smile needs. Our patients in Orlando, FL deserve the best of both worlds, which is why Dr. Russo primarily offers all-ceramic restorations. These crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays are precisely crafted from quality dental porcelain, and the final results are so seamless that they even reflect light in the same way as your natural enamel. This option also offers lasting durability, more conservation of healthy tooth structure, and biocompatibility for a safe, comfortable fit.

Teeth Whitening

With the power of Zoom! Whitening, our team can help patients dramatically brighten their teeth in the comfort of their very own homes. Dr. Russo will provide you with high-grade bleaching gel and custom oral trays – you simply need to wear them together as instructed each day. Whether you’re hoping to achieve fast changes or need a more gradual shift because of sensitive teeth, we can personalize your treatment to fit your needs and create the ideal results you’ve been dreaming of.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

For patients in need of quick orthodontic treatment, Invisalign clear aligners can make a world of difference. This simple appliance is used to move your front teeth with the help of coil springs and aligner bows that “squeeze” together, creating changes in an impressive timeframe – just 6-18 weeks, in most cases! Patients using Invisalign clear aligners will need to wear it 16-20 hours a day, as well as attend brief check-ups with Dr. Russo every two to three weeks.

Getting a smile makeover can be life-changing and gives you a boost in self-confidence that you’ll enjoy for many years. Regardless of the type of imperfections you want to correct, Dr. Russo offers a wide variety of cosmetic procedures that can be customized to give you a gorgeous smile that you’ll love to show off, many of which can be done in just 1 to 2 visits!

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry

Without a consultation, pinpointing the cost of cosmetic dentistry in Orlando can be difficult. That’s because each treatment plan is 100% personalized, so the price varies. Don’t worry – we’ll do everything we can to make navigating the financial aspect of your care straightforward and easy. Right here, you can learn some all-encompassing factors that impact the cost!

01

Since each smile is unique, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. During your consultation with our Orlando cosmetic dentist, he’ll review your treatment options, including:

  • Veneers – There’s a reason veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments: they can fix almost any imperfection! From minor spacing issues to permanent discoloration, these thin shells of porcelain can be placed in as little as two visits and last for 15+ years with proper care.
  • Teeth Whitening – Effective at blasting away stubborn stains, professional teeth whitening is ideal for patients who are struggling with dental discoloration. With our take-home options, you can get the results of an in-office treatment from the comfort of your own home too! In just a few short weeks, you’ll see your smile transform before your eyes.
  • Braces – If misalignment is the source of your unhappiness, then Inman Aligners may be the solution you’ve been looking for. In addition to being safe and effective, they can deliver results in just 6-18 weeks! So, you won’t have to wait long to achieve the smile of your dreams.
  • Smile Makeover – A smile makeover is a customized blend of treatments designed to completely transform your grin. For some, that may include braces and teeth whitening. For others, it might include braces, teeth whitening, and veneers! Plus, we can incorporate restorative services as well, like metal-free dental crowns, to enhance the function of your smile simultaneously.
02

At first, it might seem like cosmetic dentistry just benefits the appearance of your smile. In reality, it does a lot more! To start, some treatments (like braces) have the ability to improve your oral health as well, decreasing your chances of developing gum disease and cavities. Secondly, study after study has shown that patients who invest in cosmetic dentistry make better first impressions and are more likely to receive a job offer, which means it can benefit your professional life greatly. Lastly, transforming your smile can transform your confidence. Instead of hiding from pictures or opting for closed-lip smiles, you can flash your pearly whites proudly in every situation!

03

If your dental insurance provider doesn’t cover the treatment you’re interested in, there’s another financial solution you can explore: flexible financing. Our team is happy to work with CareCredit and Proceed Finance. Both of these financial solutions allow you to space-out your payments into affordable monthly chunks. That way, you don’t have to pay for your treatment in one lump sum.

We’d be more than happy to answer any questions you have during your initial consultation so we can answer with your specific dental needs and smile goals in mind. If, on the other hand, you simply want to learn the answers to a few of the most frequently asked questions about cosmetic dentistry, then keep reading.

Worried that pursuing the smile of your dreams will be uncomfortable? There’s some good news: many cosmetic dental treatments, like teeth whitening, don’t even require a local anesthetic – they’re that pain-free! With more extensive options, like veneers, your mouth will be numbed thoroughly to ensure that you don’t feel any discomfort during your time in the treatment chair. Following your visit, you may experience some sensitivity. Luckily, this sensation is typically temporary and mild. If you’re feeling anxious, don’t hesitate to talk to our team about sedation dentistry!

02

You deserve a smile that you love. One that you’re proud to display when you’re taking a picture, heading into a job interview, or meeting an old friend. If you are hesitant to do so because of misaligned, stained, chipped, and otherwise imperfect teeth, then you’ll likely benefit from cosmetic dentistry! With smile-enhancing treatments like veneers, teeth whitening, and Inman Aligners, our Orlando cosmetic dentist, Dr. Russo, can bring your smile goals to life. If you’re still on the fence about whether or not cosmetic dentistry is right for you, then don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation!

03

The longevity of your results will depend largely on two factors: the cosmetic dental treatment you pick and how well you care for your new and improved smile.

Veneers and Inman Aligners are two smile-perfecting services that have the potential to last for 15+ years. In fact, the results of your orthodontic treatment can last for the rest of your life with the right best practices in place, like wearing your retainer consistently. Teeth whitening, on the other hand, usually lasts for six months or so.

Regardless of the cosmetic dental treatment you choose, you must implement a solid oral hygiene routine, refrain from unhealthy dental habits (like smoking), get a dental checkup and cleaning every six months, and limit your intake of teeth-staining foods and beverages.

04

According to the countless patients that have chosen to invest in their smile, the answer is “yes!” In fact, investing in cosmetic dentistry may have more of a positive impact on your life than you can imagine. Not only can it improve your self-esteem and confidence, but it can also help you make a better first impression and boost your professional success. So, yes, cosmetic dentistry is well worth it.
