Smile Design Dentistry In Coral Springs & Hollywood, FL

A smile design can be defined as the procedure that helps the patient achieve a beautifully symmetrical and whiter smile. A smile design can do miracles, from fully restoring your dental health and appearance despite your existing teeth’ original state to giving you an extreme boost in confidence when smiling. At Delight Dental Smiles Design Dentistry in Coral Springs, Florida, Dr. Rodriguez focuses on cosmetic dentistry. She is passionate about art and how the face should have harmony and symmetry with your smile.

Although most people think a smile design is only about veneers, different techniques, and procedures can create a beautiful smile. Here are some of them:

• Porcelain Veneers: This technique is the most popular one. Dr. Rodriguez will work closely with an aesthetic dental laboratory to customize and fabricate the smile you’ve always wanted. During the consultation, you will choose from color to style of shape, while Dr. Rodriguez will recommend what goes best with your facial structure, creating harmony in the face.
• Dental Bonding or Composite Veneers: In dental bonds, a small white resin is placed onto the tooth’s surface that has aberrations to get the targeted look. Not all patients qualify for this procedure due to the increased risk of breakage. Remember that composite is weaker than porcelain material, hence more repairs might be needed. Also, for this procedure, more tooth reduction might be needed.
• Crown and Bridgework: Also known as fixed prosthetic devices that are placed onto existing teeth or implants. However, bridgework can be used when you are missing a tooth in between. Talk to Dr. Rodriguez if this is your case.
• Gum Contouring: It is a minor surgical procedure that changes the position of the gum tissue and sometimes the underlying bone through the use of a laser to give you an even gum, or increase the size of your visible tooth structure.
• Enamel Shaping: From the irregularities to the teeth’ shape, shaping helps achieve the destined look. In most cases, braces or Invisalign are worn which decreases the need for tooth shaping. However, if no braces/Invisalign is given, the teeth will need more shaping to obtain the desired alignment.
