You are not alone. Most people want to have a nice smile since it is the first thing others notice about you. You may be interested in a few minor adjustments or may have concerns that need more attention. Some smiles can be enhanced with simple whitening or bonding treatments. Other smiles need porcelain veneers, crowns or bridges; gum contouring; periodontal therapy or a combination of all these techniques. Our dentists will suggest a treatment plan for you based on your goals, areas of concern and the overall condition of your oral health. Contact us for a complimentary smile evaluation to determine what course of action will produce the best solution for you.

We have a number of ways to improve the look of your front teeth without the use of unsightly braces. For slightly crooked or unevenly worn teeth, a bit of reshaping and the addition of crowns or porcelain veneers may be sufficient to give them a bright, uniform look. Our doctors also offer Clear Aligners as an orthodontic option for adults and teens alike. We would be happy to talk with you further about the option that best suits your individual situation.

During your first appointment, your overall dental and oral health will be assessed with a comprehensive oral evaluation. Upon completion of your medical / dental health form, we will ask you to tell us your goals regarding your smile, teeth, and gums. Digital photos and X-Rays will be taken of your teeth to identify areas of decay, cracked teeth and malfunctioning restorations. Our goal is to preserve as much of your teeth as possible by catching decay in its earliest stages. We’ll also assess your gums and recommend the appropriate hygiene treatment for you.

Dental insurance is designed to assist you in paying for your dentistry. Most procedures are not fully covered by your insurance. Cosmetic dentistry, in particular, is not covered by most dental insurance plans. To help you afford your smile, we do offer a variety of payment options in addition to a monthly payment plan provided by our financial partner, Care Credit™. We also pay special attention to maximizing the benefits that your insurance does provide. Ask our front office team how you can comfortably afford your dentistry and maximize your dental insurance benefits.

When you have an aligned, white, beautiful smile you feel and look more confident! On the contrary, when you are unhappy about your crooked or misaligned teeth, you may tend to cover your mouth when smiling or may hesitate to smile in public. A crooked or misaligned smile can restrict you from smiling openly and being yourself. Orthodontic treatment can correct such issues through planned teeth movement.

Among the treatment options in orthodontics, Simply Clear Aligners is a revolutionary solution since it helps you move teeth and is nearly invisible and minimally impacts your daily activities and enjoyment. This invisible way of teeth straightening has let us create beautiful smiles in St. Petersburg and surrounding communities.

If you think your teeth are misaligned or your bite is not right, call our office to make an appointment with our dentists. Our team can evaluate your smile and see if Simply Clear Aligners is a great orthodontic treatment option for you.

The position of our teeth and the way they are aligned plays a key role in the correctness of the bite. Ideally, for the bite to be proper, the teeth in the upper jaw should be slightly ahead of the teeth in the lower jaw. When there is variation in position of any tooth, there is deviation in the bite and the condition is termed as malocclusion.

There are many types of problems with the bite, cross bite, open bite, closed bite to name a few. These bite problems must be addressed in order to improve the efficiency of biting and chewing functions and to prevent dental health problems.

Problems caused by malocclusion and crooked teeth:

• When the teeth are not in right positions or are improperly aligned, the biting and chewing may not be efficient. This means that the patient may have to put more effort to chew same amount of food as compared to a person with a normal bite.
• There may be teeth wear because of improper positioning of teeth.
• Crooked teeth may affect speech.
• Crooked teeth may make the smile look less attractive and cause
• There may be higher risk of gum and tooth infection since it may be difficult to maintain oral hygiene when the teeth are improperly aligned.
