Your smile is one of your most powerful assets, as it is often the first thing people notice about you. A bright, confident smile instantly conveys approachability and warmth. On the other hand, feeling self-conscious about your teeth can negatively impact your quality of life and how you present yourself to the world.
A radiant smile is more than aesthetics; it is about helping you feel your best in every interaction. As your cosmetic dentist in Fort Lauderdale, our portfolio of services — from porcelain veneers and dental bonding to complete smile makeovers — is designed to address a broad range of imperfections while delivering natural-looking results that boost your overall appearance.
At DG Dental, our comprehensive dental services include a full suite of cosmetic treatments designed to enhance your smile while preserving your long-term oral health.
Transform Your Smile With Cosmetic Dental Treatments in Fort Lauderdale
Cosmetic dentistry combines art and science to improve the look of teeth, gums, and overall appearance. Our approach focuses on preserving natural tooth structure while enhancing facial features and personality. As your cosmetic dentist in Fort Lauderdale, we offer several treatment options to address every aesthetic concern.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic material custom-crafted to fit over the front surface of your teeth. These remarkably durable restorations can correct multiple issues at once, including:
Each veneer is designed to match your surrounding teeth in color, translucency, and shape, creating a natural-looking enhancement to your smile. The process typically involves 2 to 3 visits:
Because veneers are very thin and semi-translucent, severe staining can impact the final outcome. Our professional teeth whitening may be recommended before placement for the most pleasing result.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Our in-office whitening treatments can dramatically lighten your teeth by several shades in a single visit while maintaining the health of your dental enamel. The procedure takes about an hour and provides an immediate transformation, compared to over-the-counter whitening kits that require multiple applications with minimal results.
For those who prefer to whiten at their own pace, our take-home kits include custom-fitted trays and professional-strength whitening gel that delivers impressive results within 1 to 2 weeks of consistent use.
Gum Contouring
In some cases, it is not just your teeth that affect your smile’s appearance. An uneven gumline or “gummy smile” can impact the overall balance of your smile. We can gently reshape your gumline using advanced laser technology to create a more harmonious proportion between your teeth and gums, resulting in a more balanced smile.
The procedure is minimally invasive, with little to no discomfort, and the results are immediate. Many patients combine gum contouring with other cosmetic treatments for a complete smile makeover.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Clear aligner therapy offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces for adults and teens with misaligned teeth. These custom-designed, transparent aligners gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. The aligners are removable for eating and hygiene, making them convenient for busy professionals.
Millions of patients worldwide have chosen Invisalign clear aligners to straighten their teeth and enhance their smiles, making it a popular choice for adults and teens alike. Treatment generally takes between 6 and 18 months depending on your case complexity:
Our board-certified orthodontist is a Platinum Invisalign Provider and will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan for your smile.
Tooth-Colored Fillings and Restorations
If you have old silver amalgam fillings that show when you smile, we can replace them with tooth-colored composite restorations that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These modern materials not only look better but also bond directly to your tooth structure, providing strong support and protection.
Similarly, when you need a crown or bridge to repair a damaged tooth or replace a missing one, we use high-quality ceramic materials that mirror the translucency and color of natural teeth. Our attention to detail ensures your restored teeth look and function like the real thing. These restorations complement our broader restorative dentistry offerings for patients who need both functional and aesthetic improvements.
Comprehensive Smile Makeovers
Many patients benefit from combining several cosmetic procedures for a complete smile transformation. Our smile makeovers are customized treatment plans that address multiple concerns in a coordinated approach. Whether preparing for a special event or simply wanting to feel more confident in your everyday life, a smile makeover can be life-changing.
During your consultation, we will discuss how different treatments can work together to achieve your ideal smile. We consider elements such as your facial structure, skin tone, and personal preferences to create results that look naturally beautiful and uniquely you. For patients who also need to address missing teeth, dental implants can be incorporated into a coordinated smile makeover plan. For patients who experience dental anxiety, we offer sedation dentistry options to ensure a comfortable experience from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry in Fort Lauderdale
What is the difference between a cosmetic dentist and a general dentist?
A cosmetic dentist focuses on improving the appearance of your smile — including color, shape, symmetry, and alignment — while a general dentist primarily addresses oral health and function. Many general dentists offer cosmetic services, but a dentist with advanced training and credentials like the FAGD brings a higher level of precision to aesthetic outcomes. At DG Dental, Dr. Green combines clinical expertise with an artist’s attention to detail to deliver results that look natural and last.
Am I a good candidate for porcelain veneers?
Not everyone is a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Ideal candidates have healthy teeth and gums, adequate enamel, and realistic expectations. Patients with significant decay, gum disease, or teeth-grinding habits may need to address those concerns first. Because veneers require removing a small amount of enamel, the process is permanent — which is why Dr. Green completes a thorough evaluation before recommending them.
How long do cosmetic dental results last?
Longevity depends on the procedure. Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 20 years with proper care. Professional teeth whitening results last 6 to 18 months depending on diet and habits. Ceramic crowns and tooth-colored restorations can last 15 years or more. Dr. Green will walk you through realistic expectations for each treatment option at your consultation.
Does cosmetic dentistry hurt?
Most cosmetic procedures involve minimal discomfort. Teeth whitening may cause temporary sensitivity, and veneer preparation requires a small amount of enamel removal under local anesthetic. For patients who experience dental anxiety, DG Dental offers sedation dentistry options to ensure a comfortable experience from start to finish.
Does insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Most dental insurance plans do not cover purely cosmetic procedures like veneers or teeth whitening since they are considered elective. However, some treatments — such as ceramic crowns or tooth-colored fillings — may be partially covered when they serve a restorative function. DG Dental is in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare and accepts all out-of-network PPO plans. Visit our financing and insurance page to learn more.
How do I know which cosmetic treatment is right for me?
The best way to determine the right treatment is a one-on-one consultation. Dr. Green will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and use digital imaging to preview potential results. From there, she builds a treatment plan tailored to your facial structure, budget, and timeline — whether that means a single procedure or a coordinated smile makeover.
