Medically reviewed by Dr. Craig Baker, DMD · General Dentist · AACD Member · Last reviewed Cosmetic dentistry at our Safety Harbor office is conservative-first: whitening before veneers, bonding before crowns, single-tooth contouring before full-mouth rebuilds. Dr. Baker is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry — the credential that signals continuing education in advanced aesthetic technique. For complex cases that combine cosmetic and periodontal work (gum lifts, crown lengthening, implant aesthetics), Dr. Perera plans the gum-tissue side in coordination.
Hand-shaded porcelain veneers for chipped, worn, discolored, or misshapen front teeth. Conservative preparation; we remove only what we must.
In-office whitening for fast results plus take-home trays for maintenance. Most patients lift 4–8 shades safely.
Composite bonding to close small gaps, repair small chips, or reshape uneven edges — usually a single visit, no anesthesia required.
All-porcelain crowns for teeth that need full-coverage restoration plus a cosmetic finish. Designed to blend with the rest of the smile.
Multi-tooth treatment plans combining whitening, bonding, veneers, and (when needed) gum-lift work by Dr. Perera. Sequenced over 2–4 visits.
Clear aligners for adults and teens — most full-treatment cases run 6–18 months. We start with a consultation and a treatment-plan preview.
Dr. Craig Baker leads cosmetic dentistry as an American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry member. Dr. Cecilia Perera plans any periodontal work (gum lifts, crown lengthening) that supports the cosmetic outcome.
Properly placed and maintained porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years. Habits that shorten lifespan: bruxism without a guard, biting hard objects, and untreated gum disease.
No — professional whitening using carbamide or hydrogen peroxide gels at clinical concentrations does not damage enamel. Sensitivity during treatment is common but transient.
Bonding cases yes; veneer cases no. Veneers require an impression visit, lab fabrication, and a placement visit — typically 2 visits over 2 weeks.
Pure cosmetic procedures are typically not covered. We will provide a treatment plan with the costs in writing before any work begins.
