Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers have been a mainstay in Hollywood for decades because they are able to completely transform the smile with just one procedure. By placing thin ceramic shells over the front of the teeth, they can instantly eliminate noticeable stains, chips, cracks, and gaps all at the same time. Now, you can get the exact same treatment as the stars right here in Ft. Lauderdale, but you can trust that you won’t pay anything close to Hollywood prices while still getting the same gorgeous results.
Metal-Free Restorations
Metal-free restorations are made of 100% dental porcelain that is designed to resemble real enamel in every way you can imagine, and they enable us to repair damaged teeth that show within the smile in such a way that it looks like no dental work was done at all. This material is not only natural-looking, but extremely strong as well, meaning you’ll be able to trust your restoration whether you’re smiling or taking a bite of your favorite food.
Cosmetic Bonding
Ready to get rid of that one tiny blemish in your smile that has bothered you for years? With cosmetic bonding, our team can make it a thing of the past in just one easy appointment. A color-matched composite resin will be applied to your tooth, and then your dentist will sculpt it to cover any stain, gap, or chip that shouldn’t be there. Altogether, the treatment only takes about an hour to complete, but the results can easily last for a decade or more.
Teeth Whitening
Whitening your teeth is one of the quickest, easiest, and most effective ways to improve your entire appearance, but most of the treatments you’ll find at the store aren’t able to deliver the dramatic results they promise. If you want your smile to really shine and get rid of those pesky coffee, wine, or tobacco stains, our Opalescence treatment can practically turn back the clock for your teeth. With a take-home kit designed just for you, you can easily make your smile 6-8 shades brighter for several months to come.
Invisalign
Tired of feeling self-conscious about your misaligned teeth? Invisalign is a sleek, discreet, and effective orthodontic treatment that can help you get the straight smile you’ve always wanted without having to deal with metal brackets and wires. You’ll simply wear a series of clear plastic aligner trays that friends and coworkers will never notice, and you can even take them off whenever you want to eat or brush your teeth. It’s the perfect treatment for adults who want to maintain their daily appearance while getting the care they need.
Gum Recontouring
Would you say that you have a “gummy” smile where your gum line actually overshadows your teeth? Does this make your teeth look too short for your face? If so, a quick and easy treatment with a soft tissue laser may be all you need. With it, your dentist can remove any extra gum tissue to instantly reveal more of your teeth and make them appear longer. From there, they can reshape the gum line and even apply restorations to your teeth to give you that perfectly proportioned look you desire.
Smile Makeovers
Are there multiple things about your teeth that you would like to change? Wish you could just hit the “reset button” for your smile? If so, our team can help you put together a makeover plan that will turn your dream look into a reality. Using a unique combination of multiple procedures all working together, we can improve the shape, size, color, and spacing of your teeth all at once to create the big, bright, and beautiful grin you’ve always wanted.
BOTOX / Juvederm
Why go to one place to enhance your smile and another to take care of your skin when you can just visit Island City Dental instead? Thanks to our team’s advanced training, we’re now able to do both right in our office. After we’ve given you a beautiful smile, we can use Botox or Juvederm to practically eliminate fine lines and wrinkles on your face and neck. In just one appointment, we can take years off of your appearance and save you from running around town at the same time.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Plenty of our patients are interested in cosmetic dentistry but become worried about how they’re going to pay for it when they find out that most dental insurance plans do not cover cosmetic treatments (since they’re elective procedures that don’t directly benefit your oral health). When we’re helping you put together a plan to transform your smile, we’ll take your financial situation into account and help you find the services that fit your needs as well as your budget.
Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right for Me?
Naturally, everyone’s smile is different, so there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. That said, the improvements that people try to make to their smiles usually fall under one of three categories: making their teeth look whiter, straightening their smile, or correcting improperly shaped/sized teeth. The treatments we suggest depend on what kind of changes you’d like to make. Here are commonly suggested options and the costs involved:
- Cosmetic Bonding: For patients who just need small changes, cosmetic bonding is effective and affordable. It’s one of the cheapest cosmetic procedures affordable, although it should be noted that other treatments may have longer lasting results.
- Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening is a procedure that is mid-range in-terms of cost. It’s definitely a great option for anyone looking to remove tooth stains or brighten a discolored smile, but it’s not very helpful for those who are trying to correct tooth shape or position.
- Veneers: Veneers are typically more costly than cosmetic bonding than teeth whitening, but they’re also highly versatile and can be used to make more extensive corrections. They can also last for over a decade when cared for properly, so they have good long-term value.
- Invisalign: For those with crooked teeth or gaps in their grin, Invisalign can make a big difference for your appearance as well as your overall oral health. The tradeoff is that it also takes longer than other cosmetic treatments and tends to have a higher cost.
- Smile Makeover: A smile makeover is a combination of multiple services, so naturally it tends to be the most costly option. At the same time, it can be a worthwhile investment since it lets you make comprehensive corrections to your smile in the best possible timeframe.
Why Invest in Cosmetic Dentistry?
When you pay for cosmetic services to improve your smile, it’s important to remember that there are long term benefits to improving your smile. It can help you feel more confident about your grin, which in turn can improve your self-esteem and make it easier for you to make a powerful first impression. People who have cosmetic dentistry done often find that it can ultimately their relationships, social lives, and professional lives.
How to Make Cosmetic Dentistry Affordable
Even though most dental insurance plans don’t have coverage for cosmetic care, there are still ways for you to save money on your smile transformation. In particular, you can sign up for a CareCredit financing plan. With CareCredit, you can break up the cost of any treatment, including cosmetic care and other services that might not have been covered under a dental insurance plan, into smaller monthly installments. The payment schedule can range from 6 to 36 months depending on your situation. Let us know if you’re interested in a CareCredit financing plan to make the cost of your new smile easier to manage.
