What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

/

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of your smile. While a healthy mouth is very important, our team at our Merritt Island dental practice understands the importance of feeling confident with your smile. We are here to provide a variety of cosmetic dentistry options to treat a variety of imperfections to give you the dazzling smile you have always dreamed of.

Cosmetic Dentistry Candidates

Our Merritt Island dental practice loves helping patients achieve beautiful smiles. However, there are some requirements you must meet before we can provide cosmetic treatment. Patients must be:

In Good Oral Health

Patients must be in good oral health before they undergo any cosmetic dentistry procedures. Good oral health ensures a healthy foundation for your beautiful smile. If you suffer from issues such as tooth decay or gum disease, these problems must be addressed before cosmetic treatments can proceed.

Committed to Change

Patients undergoing cosmetic treatment should be committed to making changes to protect their new smile. This may include changes such as stopping using tobacco products. Cosmetic treatments are an investment, and protecting your smile can ensure maximum benefits for years to come.



For those with pre-existing oral health issues, we offer a range of treatments to help you reach optimal oral health and qualify for cosmetic treatments. Explore the other procedures we perform to help the patients of Merritt Island keep their smiles gorgeous and healthy. 

Dental Care Technology for Patient Comfort and Safety

Our practice offers cutting-edge dentistry, which sets us apart from many other Merritt Island, FL, dentist's offices. State-of-the-art dentistry improves patient comfort and well being.

Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures Treatments for Your Smile

During your visit to our Merritt Island, FL dental office, we'll perform a full exam and determine which cosmetic dentistry procedure or combination of procedures is right for you.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding involves a tooth-colored resin painted directly onto the surface of a tooth. This durable bonding material conceals minor chips, cracks, stains, and gaps that can ruin a smile's overall appearance. When polished and blended, dental bonding is difficult to notice.

Teeth Whitening

Professional in-office whitening is far more effective than the over-the-counter whitening kits available at the store. In just one dental bleaching session, your smile can be brightened by several entire shades. Teeth whitening is perfect for extrinsic dental stains.

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic treatments available, used to conceal chips, cracks, gaps, stains, and misalignment. These thin shells of dental porcelain are adhered to the fronts of flawed teeth. Veneers blend in seamlessly, making your smile appear absolutely flawless.

Gum Contouring

Your gumline has a major impact on your smile. Prominent gums and recession can both throw off the appearance of your teeth. Thanks to modern contouring techniques, our dentists can reshape and restore the gumline, enhancing periodontal health and appearance.

SureSmile

SureSmile is an advanced alternative to braces and traditional orthodontics. Rather than brackets and wires, SureSmile uses clear plastic aligner trays to shift your teeth into a healthier and more attractive position. The final results of SureSmile are stunning.

Dental Crowns

When fillings, inlays, and onlays cannot repair a damaged tooth, the ideal solution is to strengthen it with a crown. These restorations will cap a tooth, protecting it from further harm. Thanks to CEREC technology, a custom tooth-colored porcelain crown can be made in a single visit.

Learn More

Dental Implants

Dental implants are an excellent option for missing teeth. These artificial roots are surgically anchored into the jawbone, fusing with the living tissue. After healing, dental implants can stabilize a crown, bridge, or denture, restoring appearance and dental health.

Maintaining Your Beautiful Smile After Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment

Following cosmetic treatment, patients often ask what they can do to keep their smiles beautiful. Here are a few tips to keep your smile looking great for years to come:

Good Oral Hygiene

Maintaining your oral health is the first step to keeping your smile beautiful. Brush with a soft-bristle brush twice a day for two minutes to help prevent cavities and gum disease. Floss at least once a day.

Avoid Foods That Stain

To keep your smile brilliantly white, avoid or minimize foods and drinks that stain, such as coffee and red wine. When you do indulge, be sure to brush after to minimize staining.

Protect Your Teeth From Damage

Biting your nails, using your teeth to open packages, or chewing on ice can damage your teeth. Avoid these activities to prevent cracking, chipping, or breaking your teeth and restorations. If you play sports or grind your teeth, your dentist may suggest a mouth guard.

Attend Routine Dental Exams

It is important to protect your oral health by visiting a dentist regularly. A dentist can help catch issues before they become a problem. Routine cleanings and exams by our Merritt Island dental team can keep your teeth beautiful and healthy.

Dr. Wilkhu is the best dentist I have ever been to. From the office staff to the hygienists to the dentist and his assistants, they are all top notch. I went to Dr. Wilkhu after having a bad experience with another dentist. Dr. Wilkhu had done a great job for my mother and his reviews were great so I thought I would give him a try. I have been going to him for about three years now and even if I move out of state I will come back to see Dr. Wilkhu. Not only is he a great dentist, but he is as close to painless as you can get.
