Have you been searching for the right dentist to fix your crooked, stained, or chipped teeth? Five Star Dental Care – Jeff Bynum DDS in Valrico wants to end your search. We specialize in cosmetic dentistry, including porcelain veneers, which are an extraordinary, minimally-invasive solution for cracked, stained, or chipped teeth.

Porcelain veneers are custom-fitted glass-like porcelain shells that are permanently attached to the surface of the teeth that need correcting.

A veneer can transform a tooth’s color, shape, size, or length. You can fix chips and cracks without compromising the healthy tooth structure.The porcelain closely resembles actual tooth enamel so you will look like you were born with a perfect smile. Our veneers are essentially indistinguishable from natural teeth – naturally perfect teeth, that is.

Because we offer porcelain veneers that are customized and fitted perfectly to your teeth, you can fix several issues at once with just one process.

OTHER BENEFITS OF DENTAL VENEERS INCLUDE:

• Improvement in the shape of your teeth.
• A brighter and whiter smile.
• Stronger teeth.
• A natural look that will blend with your natural enamel.
• Stain resistance.
• Better functionality for eating and speaking.
• Biocompatible material that won’t irritate gum tissue.
• Long-lasting durability.

When considering porcelain veneers, it’s important that you have them done the right way by a reputable cosmetic dentist. When done the right way, porcelain veneers can stay strong and beautiful for many years.

Here at Five Star Dental Care – Jeff Bynum, DDS, our cosmetic dental team will ensure that your porcelain veneers are done right. Then we will provide you with the information you need so you can keep your sensational new smile!

Who would say no to a more attractive smile? Our guess is no one (or practically no one).

The good news is that now with all of the amazing cosmetic dentistry procedures available in the Tampa, Florida area, the smile that you once believed was unattainable is within reach. Our team at Five Star Dental Care in the Valrico, Fla. area would be honored to provide you with the smile makeover of your dreams!

Here is a quick look at some of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments that you should consider~

1. Teeth whitening is a very common procedure used to lighten stained teeth. This quick and easy process is usually done in the dentist office, and the results can be exceptionally dramatic.

2. Bonding is a popular treatment that uses a dental composite that resembles enamel. This material is applied to the surface of the teeth, sculpted into the desired shape, and then hardened and polished.

3. Tooth reshaping is a simple way to improve the appearance of your smile. It involves removing part of the enamel and can be used to fix small chips or to change the length or position of teeth.

4. Veneers are custom-made porcelain coverings that are very thin. They are bonded to the teeth and can be used to close gaps or cover discolored teeth.

5. For most patients, dental implants are the best way to replace a missing tooth.

6. And finally, there is the smile redesign. A smile makeover uses a combination of treatments to get dental patients the smiles they want.

Smiles are often the first thing people notice about you when you first meet. That’s why it’s important to turn to a cosmetic dentist, when you have common dental problems such as:

• Broken or chipped teeth
• Crooked and uneven teeth
• Missing teeth
• Discoloration
• Severe bite problems

A cosmetic surgeon has specialized schooling in addition to the training a general surgeon completes. Likewise, a cosmetic dentist has completed rigorous courses in addition to dental school. Of course, many general dentists offer cosmetic dentistry treatments too.

At Five Star Dental Care in the Valrico, FL area, we offer teeth whitening, crowns, porcelain veneers and dental bonding among many other common cosmetic dentistry procedures.

In many cases, general dentists achieve satisfactory results. However, there is a difference between adequate results and amazing results. Cosmetic dentists have the skills and experience to create absolutely smiles.

You have probably seen pleasing front teeth crowns performed by a general dentist. They are often perfectly shaped, correctly aligned and pleasingly white. But have you ever seen front teeth crowns done by a true artist? The color, translucency, and texture take the crowns to the ultimate level of breathtaking beauty.

Our cosmetic dentistry services allow patients to improve each first impression with a smile they’ll love to share. Our wide range of cosmetic dentistry treatments can brighten, straighten, and generally enhance your entire aesthetic.

You deserve to love your smile. At our practice, our goal is to provide all of our patients—including you—with a look that makes you feel happier and more confident. If you are looking for high-quality cosmetic dentistry in the Valrico, FL area, come put our specialized training at Five Star Dental Care to the test! A smile makeover can completely change your life and self-image. Call our office today, to set you and your family on a path to a brighter, more dazzling smile.

How are Americans doing when it comes to the dental health of the 65+ population? Sad to say, it isn’t all good news. Twenty-five percent of those over the age of sixty-five have lost all of their teeth, and are candidates for dentures. Five Star Dental Care in Valrico can help.

What essential factors will improve the oral health of age 65+ Americans? The National Institutes of Health cite three needed components:

• Improved oral health education for the elderly
• Seniors practicing effective daily oral hygiene
• Increased access to dental care¹

At Five Star Dental Care – Jeff Bynum, DDS in Valrico, we are dedicated to providing our elderly patients with comprehensive oral health education and attentive care that addresses the special challenges that impact seniors. These challenges include difficulty brushing and flossing due to arthritis, dry mouth caused by prescription medications, tooth sensitivity, bone recession, and complications due to diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

We want our elderly patients to not only have a healthy smile, but a beautiful one as well. Many of our senior patients have elected to improve their smiles with procedures such as crowns, inlays/onlays, dental bonding, porcelain veneers, dental implants, and tooth whitening.

Maybe you’ve always wanted a dazzling, movie star smile. Or maybe your teeth have just grown dull with the passage of time. Whatever the reason might be, you’re one of millions of Americans who want to brighten their smiles with teeth whitening.

You’ve got plenty of options. Take a simple stroll down the dental care aisle in the grocery store and you’ll see an almost bewildering selection of teeth whitening products: everything from toothpaste to strips to bleaching trays.

Most of these products can be effective. Toothpastes generally take only the surface stains off of your teeth, and you may be disappointed with the end result. Whitening strips are better; they rely on hydrogen peroxide to remove stains. Bleaching trays are also good. But none of them are as strong as professional teeth whitening.

Five Star Dental Care offers highly effective in-office teeth whitening that can transform your smile in a single visit. We also have take-home kits for those who prefer to whiten their teeth at their convenience.

Five Star Dental Care in Valrico also provides such cosmetic dentistry as porcelain and prepless veneers. Visit our smile gallery to see what we can do. Schedule an appointment today.

Invisalign clear braces produce excellent results in many patients. Unlike traditional braces, there are no wires or brackets or rubber bands. Even better, they are almost undetectable to people who are standing just a few feet away from you. You can get Invisalign clear braces from Five Star Dental Care in Valrico.

Invisalign clear braces are so undetectable that some people call them invisible. Of course, they are not invisible, like the guy in the “invisible man” movies is.

They look a lot like an athlete’s mouth guard. The proper term for such braces is “aligner.” They are made of clear plastic and are worn over your teeth to gradually bring them into alignment.

One of the things that people like best about Invisalign clear braces is that they are removable. You can take them out at mealtime, and when you brush your teeth at night. You should wear them while you sleep, however. For the best results it’s recommended they be worn for at least twenty-two hours each day.

Invisalign clear braces are a great choice for adults who didn’t have braces when they were younger, but don’t want to wear traditional braces at work. They are not, however, for everyone. They are not good for patients who, for example, have severely rotated teeth.

To find out if Invisalign clear braces are right for you, schedule a consultation with Five Star Dental Care in Valrico. We also provide a full range of cosmetic dentistry services, including porcelain and prepless veneers, and teeth whitening. Make an appointment with us today.

Millions of Americans are missing one or more of their teeth. That’s something that would make anyone self-conscious. If you have lost a tooth because of an injury or disease, a dental implant from Five Star Dental Care in Valrico can restore your smile.

Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically implanted into your jaw. An artificial tooth goes on top of the post. Once they are in place, they look and function like natural teeth.

Modern implants have been around for about fifty years. They used to be uncommon, but today they are considered part of mainstream dentistry. With today’s digital technology, dental implants can be placed in the patient’s jaw with nearly one hundred percent accuracy.

Not everyone is a viable candidate for a dental implant, because you need to have enough bone mass to support one. Even if you don’t, there is a solution: bone grafting can give you enough.

Most patients who receive a dental implant find that they are stable, and an excellent replacement for their natural tooth. Implants can also be used to anchor dentures.

Replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant can transform your life. To find out more, call Five Star Dental Care in Valrico. We also provide cosmetic dentistry, including porcelain veneers, and clear braces from Invisalign. Schedule a consultation with us today.
