Cosmetic dentistry in St. Petersburg
Tell us what you would like to improve. A team member will call within two business days to discuss the appropriate next step. A request is not an appointment confirmation.
You do not have to know which treatment to ask for. The best place to start depends on what you would like to change, from color or a small chip to tooth shape, alignment, or a more complete restoration.
01
Professional whitening, including GLO Whitening, can help when the main concern is tooth color.
02
Cosmetic bonding and gum contouring can address details such as minor chips, uneven edges, or the way the gumline frames your smile.
03
Porcelain veneers, crowns, bridges, and clear aligners can be part of a broader plan when your goals involve shape, spacing, alignment, or visible teeth that also need restoration.
01
Dr. Matos listens closely to what you would like to change and explains treatment clearly, so you can understand your options and build a plan around your goals. He earned his dental degree at VCU/MCV in Richmond, Virginia, and speaks English and Spanish.
02
Dr. Rushmore brings a gentle approach and a focus on patient comfort and confidence. She grew up in St. Pete and earned her DDS from the University of Detroit Mercy.
A cosmetic decision should account for more than appearance alone. At St. Pete, the team can consider the health and condition of the visible teeth, explain the practical differences between your options, and help you choose a plan that fits the change you have in mind.
Digital scanning supports more accurate planning and a more comfortable digital workflow. The same practice also provides preventive and restorative care, so you can discuss the appearance of your smile and any dental care it needs in one conversation.
“I found this office through word of mouth, and I'm so grateful I did. I wanted a complete restoration after decades of teeth clenching, and Dr. Matos performed an incredible transformation using zirconia crowns and an implant.”
“My visit was fantastic. Staff was great to deal with from check-in, to X-rays, Exam, cleaning, and checkout. X-rays were quick and efficient. Cleaning was great. Dr. Rushmore was excellent, explaining my X-rays to me and proving a unique insight.”
“I found my new dentist since moving to FL❣️ Private dentist not a "drive thru"! Great experience for a cracked tooth. Dr. Matos was gentle & sweet! Kim was awesome explaining every step of the way (because I asked).”
“I had a great experience for the first time. Haven’t been to the dentist in about 10 years. Loved Dr. Matos and his assistant was lovely.”
“I have been a patient of Dr Powless for many years. I have referred many of my family and friends. Recently I found I needed a little more than just my normal teeth cleaning. Which by the way Whitney is gentle and will go the extra mile...”
