"Dentistry is the horizon where beauty and health converge!"
Over time, adults may notice their smiles have lost their natural brightness. This can result for a variety of reasons, such as smoking, drinking tea and coffee, eating acidic foods, taking certain medications, and even the aging process itself. Regardless of the cause, Dr. Hector Cabrera and his experienced dental team offer professional teeth whitening solutions to remove years of stains and reveal the dazzling smile underneath. You can enjoy a brighter, whiter smile for years to come in just 1-3 visits to your trusted Clermont dentist!
For patients looking for more dramatic results, your dentist may recommend porcelain dental veneers. Veneers are made from ultra-thin, lightweight pieces of porcelain that are hand-sculpted to comfortably fit over your existing teeth. They are bonded into place to cover up dental flaws and create a bright, straight, and beautiful new smile. You can receive a single veneer to improve the appearance of one tooth or a full set to achieve the smile of your dreams. Veneers can be placed over two visits to provide you with years of beautiful smiles.
If you want a straighter, healthier smile without the need for metal braces, Invisalign is the solution for you. Invisalign is the world’s leading clear aligner treatment system and the most popular alternative to braces. Using the latest digital smile design technology and patented thermoplastic materials, you can enjoy a straight, confident smile and healthy bite in 6-18 months. Dr. Cabrera is an experienced Invisalign provider and can give you the selfie-ready smile you’ve always wanted.
A checkup and cleaning every six months can help you achieve and maintain a beautiful smile.

Using the iTero Element® scanner, your dentist will take a fast and precise 3D digital scan of your teeth. This information will be used to create a personalized treatment plan just for your smile. Each step of your treatment plan will correspond with a clear aligner designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired alignment. Your dentist will also provide you with a preview of your completed treatment so you’ll know what your smile will look like!
Once your clear aligners return from the Invisalign lab, you’ll return for your fitting. Your dentist will check your first aligner to make sure it fits comfortably over your teeth. As soon as you leave the office with your new aligner, your treatment will begin!
Wear each set of aligners for 1-2 weeks or as recommended by your dentist. Be sure to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours each day for the most effective results. Schedule a checkup every 6-8 weeks to check your progress and pick up the next batch of aligners.
Invisalign never interferes with your daily life! Your clear aligners are removable for your comfort and convenience. Sitting down for a meal with friends? About to hit the field for a game? Just take out your aligners to enjoy your favorite foods and physical activities without worrying about damaging your Invisalign appliances.
Because Invisalign clear aligners don’t involve the brackets and wires of metal braces, you never have to worry about food getting stuck in your teeth! Better yet, your aligners are removable, which means you can take them out to brush and floss your teeth. This will help you keep your teeth healthy, bright, and strong!
In many cases, Invisalign treatment is faster and more effective than traditional braces. Many patients may see results in as little as six months. Typically, you can expect to complete your treatment and reveal a beautiful smile in 12-18 months!
Before your procedure begins, you will receive a local anesthetic from your dentist. This will numb the area around your tooth and minimize any discomfort you may feel. Your dentist then uses an elevator instrument to loosen your tooth and forceps to remove it from the socket. Finally, your dentist will give you a piece of gauze to bite down on the help stop the bleeding and promote the formation of a blood clot in the socket, which is necessary for a proper recovery.
It takes several days to recover following an extraction, although it may take up to a week for your mouth to fully heal. Be sure to rest and relax for the first 24 hours after your procedure. Take any medications as prescribed, which may include antibiotics and pain relievers. Be sure to follow all postoperative care instructions provided to you by your dentist, as they will help you mitigate discomfort and enjoy a smooth recovery.
This type of veneer requires your tooth to be trimmed and reshaped by removing a tiny amount of enamel. Your dentist will remove the enamel to ensure a comfortable and natural fit for your veneer. It takes two appointments for porcelain veneers to be applied: the first to shape your teeth and take impressions that the lab will use to create your veneers, and the second to apply your finished veneers once they arrive from the lab.
Thinner than regular porcelain veneers, this type of veneer requires little to no tooth preparation prior to application. Ceramic veneers can be placed in 1-2 appointments, depending on the condition of your teeth and overall aesthetic goals.
