Clear Aligners

Whether you’re a teenager whose teeth aren’t as straight as they should be or an adult who has been living with misaligned teeth for a long time, you may be a candidate for Invisalign clear aligners from Smiles by Dr. Josh. Many people don’t want to wear traditional metal braces because of how they look, and no one wants to deal with cuts inside their mouths from the brackets and wires associated with braces. So, keep reading to learn more about Invisalign clear aligners in Fort Lauderdale.

Invisalign Clear Aligners Can Comfortably Straighten Your Teeth

If you suffer from minor to moderate orthodontic issues such as an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite, or if your teeth are gapped, crowded, overlapped, or crooked, Invisalign clear aligners may work to correct your dental concerns.

Once Dr. Josh determines you are a candidate, he can take digital impressions and send them to the expert laboratory to create your custom clear aligners. They will fit snugly over your teeth and work to gently shift your teeth into the desired position.

You will wear your clear aligners for 22 hours each day, but because they are made from clear plastic, they will be comfortable and nearly invisible. You can remove your aligners to eat, brush, and floss, enabling you to maintain your oral hygiene during treatment.

Cosmetic Dentistry

As you age, it’s perfectly normal for fine lines and wrinkles to begin to appear on your face and neck. However, if you don’t like the appearance of those fine lines and wrinkles, you’ll be happy to know there is a cosmetic solution that can help. At Smiles by Dr. Josh, we offer BOTOX® injections to our patients as a cosmetic option. Keep reading to learn more about how BOTOX can make you look more youthful.

What Is BOTOX®?

BOTOX is a widely-known brand of botulinum toxin injection used to cosmetically decrease the signs of aging. It works by blocking the nerve signals to your muscles so they can’t tense up or contract. Because of this, when you receive a BOTOX injection, you can expect your facial fine lines and wrinkles to appear smoother. Dr. Josh can inject BOTOX into several areas of your face, including the following:

  • Around the eyes
  • Forehead
  • Eyebrows
  • Nose
  • Lips
  • Chin
  • Jawline
  • Neck

You can expect your BOTOX results to last for several months before you will need a separate injection.

Are You Considering BOTOX from Smiles by Dr. Josh in Fort Lauderdale?

If so, you can schedule a cosmetic consultation with our dental office to discuss whether BOTOX will work for you. At Smiles by Dr. Josh, we want you to love the way you look and enjoy improved self-confidence, as well as the best oral health possible.

Dental Implants

Millions of people have missing teeth, and if you’re one of them, you understand how difficult it can be to eat your favorite foods. You may even have difficulty speaking, and it’s likely your self-esteem is suffering. Fortunately, Smiles by Dr. Josh offers multiple tooth replacement options, including dental implants. Keep reading to learn more about the gold standard in tooth replacement.

Dental Implants to Improve Your Smile

Dental implants are considered by many to be the best tooth replacement option because they’re beautiful and offer the same strength and stability as your natural tooth, allowing you to eat and speak properly.

We will surgically place a titanium post into your jaw that will act as your tooth’s root. To help you heal faster, we use the Endoret® platelet-rich plasma technique. Once your implant has healed, we can add any of the following, depending on your dental needs:

Single Implant

We can add one implant to replace a single missing tooth.

Implant-Supported Bridge or Denture

If you are missing several teeth, we can place two or more implants and attach a bridge or denture to them.

All-on-4® Implants

We can replace an entire arch of teeth by placing four implants.

If you are ready to replace your missing teeth, the dental team at Smiles by Dr. Josh is ready to help! With dental implants, you can regain your smile and your self-confidence.

Veneers

When you look in the mirror and smile, do you like what you see? Do you wish your teeth were whiter or straighter? Do you have gaps or cracks in your teeth that detract from the aesthetics of your smile? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may want to consider porcelain veneers from Smiles by Dr. Josh.

What Are Veneers?

We can bond custom-made porcelain shells to the front sides of your teeth to help you reach your smile goals. Veneers are created to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, so you’ll still have your smile, only better.

Are You a Candidate for Veneers?

During your cosmetic consultation, we will determine whether your teeth and gums are healthy enough for dental veneers. In addition, we can talk to you about whether you bite your nails or grind your teeth because these habits can damage your veneers once they’re on your teeth.

If your oral health is good, and you have any of the following dental concerns, you may be a candidate for dental veneers from Smiles by Dr. Josh:

  • Tooth discoloration
  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Misaligned teeth
