What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic Dentistry goes beyond general dentistry in many ways. Close attention to the appearance of the dental work is critical in achieving the right results for the patient. Sadly, cosmetic dentistry is not commonly taught in dental schools as part of the normal curriculum.
To become qualified in those areas, a dentist needs to pursue additional training after graduation. Expert cosmetic dentists like Dr. Saylor understand that your satisfaction with your dental appearance is of the utmost importance. Dr. Saylor and his team attend over 200 hours of continuing dental education each year in order to deliver excellence in cosmetic, restorative, and preventive dentistry- enabling us to provide you with the beautiful and long lasting smile you've always wanted.

Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is an excellent, cost-effective method of correcting small chips, cracks or gaps in your smile, but is not the best choice in all cases. While it can be quite effective for receeding gums, tooth decay and tooth discoloration, the material used in the bonding process is porous - so over time some staining may occur, just as in a natural tooth. For this reason, it is typically recommended as a temporary solution for younger patients or those patients that have minor imperfections. View our brief presentation on dental bonding

Dental Implants
Dental implants are a valuable and exciting treatment option for today’s dental patients - creating opportunities that were unavailable in the past. They are used to replace lost teeth or to help keep dentures tightly in place. If you cannot tolerate or are averse to wearing removable dentures, implants may be right for you. If you have not been to the dentist in many years you will be amazed at what can be done to improve your dental health and their smile. More info on dental implants.

Cosmetic Restoration
We can replace your old silver fillings with a more natural, tooth-colored cosmetic filling. Previous amalgam (silver fillings) are often considered unaesthetic because they blacken over time and can give teeth a gray appearance. Some people worry about the potential for mercury in dental amalgam to leak out and cause a wide variety of ailments.
Composite (tooth-colored) fillings virtually blend in with the tooth, typically require less drilling and can strengthen the tooth. Call us today at 813-689-4226 for more information or schedule an appointment online.

Bite Correction
Dental Occlusion, or the way your teeth meet together, is critical to your overall dental health. A misaligned bite can cause tooth pain or sensitivity, tooth loss, cracked teeth, broken crowns, problems with your jaw (TMJ), and much more. Dr. Saylor's expertise in this area is what sets him apart from the "fix it and forget it" dentists. More info about bite correction
