A Cosmetic Dentist in Ft. Myers FL can not only restore and brighten a patient’s smile with a menu of several cosmetic services, but the dentist can also provide Botox and Juvederm, two options that were previously thought to only be available from cosmetic surgery offices. Doctors of dental medicine are a good source for providing these additional cosmetic services, since they’ve been fully trained in the anatomy of the mouth and the entire face, they’re fully licensed, and have undergone years of dental school training so that patients can be assured about proper sterilization and prevention of cross contamination.
Botox is a derivative of the botulism toxin, which in effect paralyzes muscles. Given in small, medically acceptable amounts, Botox prevents extra movement in certain facial muscles, which preserves the appearance of non wrinkling. Juvederm is a facial filler that can plump up certain areas of the face, giving a youthful appearance where the patient may be lacking in collagen production naturally. Juvederm is often used to fill in places where there are wrinkles, plumping up the area so that the wrinkle is no longer visible. Results can be seen that very same day. The dentist may use both of these products on a patient to create just the right look.
Another procedure that can be done in a single visit, that also yields dramatic results, is tooth whitening. Tooth whitening at the dentist office can lighten the teeth color much more than a home kit can, and in a much shorter period of time. Teeth can be lightened as much as 8 shades or more. In about an hour, the patient can leave the office looking more youthful and get on with the rest of their day.
Patients are now able to have their old silver colored mercury fillings removed, too. There is some debate over the safety of fillings that contain mercury, but they are certainly very visible. The dentist can remove a patient’s old fillings and replace them with tooth-colored fillings that are made of a ceramic material. The material can be lightened to match the shade of the patient’s existing teeth, making it look like there are no fillings at all. Visit the website.
