Cosmetic Dentistry in Plantation, FL

Your smile is one of the first things people notice. Cosmetic dentistry at Westside Dental Center in Plantation, FL is about changing what bothers you, whether that is the color, a chip, a gap or crooked teeth, while keeping the result natural for your face.

Most patients do not need every treatment. The right plan is often one or two of them, and Dr. Uttma Dham will tell you plainly which ones are worth it for your goals and budget.

Which cosmetic treatment fits your goal?

Here is how our cosmetic treatments compare. Times are typical; your consultation gives you the exact plan for your smile.

• Stained or yellow teeth: teeth whitening. One office visit, or custom take-home trays over about two weeks. Results usually last one to three years with touch-ups.
• A small chip, gap or uneven edge: dental bonding. Tooth-colored resin shaped in a single visit, with little or no drilling. Bonding typically lasts five to ten years.
• Several stained, chipped or uneven front teeth: porcelain veneers. Thin porcelain shells, usually over two or three visits. With good care, veneers often last 10 to 15 years or more.
• Crooked, crowded or gapped teeth: Invisalign. Clear aligners with a check-in every few weeks. Many cases finish in about 12 to 18 months, and a retainer keeps the result.
• A worn, cracked or heavily filled tooth: a same-day crown. Restores strength and appearance, often in one visit with our in-office milling.
• Fine lines around the mouth or jaw tension: Botox and facial aesthetics. A short appointment. Botox results typically last about three to four months.

Combining treatments: the order matters

When a smile makeover uses more than one treatment, the order changes the result. Straightening comes first, because veneers and bonding are shaped to where your teeth sit. Whitening comes next, because porcelain and bonding keep the shade they are made in, so we match them to your whitened teeth. Veneers, bonding or crowns come last.

How we plan your smile design

Every smile makeover starts with a consultation and a digital smile preview. We scan your teeth with the iTero scanner, look at your facial features, tooth proportions and bite, and show you a preview of the expected result before any treatment begins.

Dental bonding for small fixes

Dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin to repair small chips, close small gaps and reshape uneven edges - usually in a single visit and without removing much tooth structure. It's an affordable way to refresh your smile, and a great option when porcelain veneers aren't needed.
