COSMETIC DENTIST IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FL
SMILE AGAIN
It’s a fact: you feel better about yourself when you have a bright, healthy smile.
Dr. Giraldo’s practice is focused on ensuring that all of her patients feel confident about smiling, no matter what the situation.
To help her patients smile again, Dr. Giraldo offers a variety of dental services in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, focused on improving the outward appearance of teeth, including:
FULL PORCELAIN CROWNS
Are you suffering from a damaged tooth? Dental crowns may be the solution.
After years of use, your teeth may begin to weaken. This leaves them susceptible to oral health problems including decay, cracks, or discoloration.
Porcelain crowns offer the ideal combination of aesthetic appeal and durability. If you have a visible tooth that’s cracked, discolored, or otherwise damaged, a porcelain crown will restore its natural appearance and withstand wear and tear from chewing and biting.
Dental crowns give you back healthy-looking teeth that work the way they’re supposed to.
What are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a cover or cap that is placed over your tooth by your dentist in order to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Once the crown is cemented into place, it fully encases the entire visible portion of your tooth.
Dental crowns are the perfect solution for a wide range of situations.
- Prevent a weak tooth from breaking, promoting optimal dental health
- Hold a cracked tooth together
- Cover and support a damaged or decayed tooth
- Cover a severely discolored tooth
- Restore a broken or severely worn tooth
When you meet with Dr. Giraldo, she’ll examine your teeth and let you know if dental crowns are a good solution for you.
TOOTH WHITENING
Surveys have found that when people are asked what they’d like to improve about their smile, the most common answer is that they want whiter and brighter teeth.
When the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry asked people what they’d most like to improve about their smile, the most common response was whiter teeth. As a result, it’s no surprise that around 90% of cosmetic dentistry patients request professional teeth whitening—more than any other procedure.
Dr. Giraldo and our cosmetic dentists offer both in-office and take-home whitening kits using medical-grade products, so that you can whiten your teeth at your convenience.
Why Did My Teeth Change Color?
There are a number of different reasons teeth become stained or yellow.
Age: The enamel in our teeth becomes less porous as we become older, which can lead to tooth darkening.
Food and drink: If you regularly drink coffee, tea, cola, or red wine, your teeth may become stained. Some pigmented foods such as beets, tomato sauces, or berries can also discolor teeth.
Tobacco use: Particle buildup from nicotine and tobacco can cause yellowed or even brown teeth. This applies whether you smoke or use chewing tobacco.
Medications: Some antihistamines, antipsychotics, and blood pressure medications can cause tooth darkening, as can chemotherapy and exposure to certain antibiotics before birth.
Trauma: Any accident that impacts your tooth can cause it to darken because of decreased blood flow.
Why Should I Get Professional Teeth Whitening?
You may be familiar with over-the-counter teeth whitening products that don’t require you to see a dentist, such as whitening toothpastes, strips, or trays.
However, professional whitening methods offer the fastest results while protecting your gums and teeth better than other whitening products. In fact, with professional in-office teeth whitening, you can lighten your teeth three to eight shades in just a single appointment.

PORCELAIN VENEERS
Porcelain veneers can help you achieve a flawless, Hollywood-like smile that’s truly picture-perfect. These thin, custom-made shells are designed to cover imperfections like chips, stains, or gaps, instantly enhancing the appearance of your teeth. With porcelain veneers, you’ll enjoy a dazzling, natural-looking smile that boosts your confidence in every photo and social situation.
COMPOSITE FILLINGS
Composite fillings are designed to restore teeth after a cavity without calling attention to themselves. By Using a mixture of glass or quartz filler in resin, Dr. Giraldo is able to produce a tooth-colored filling (instead of the old-fashioned silver fillings you may be used to seeing).
Routine dental care is a key component of good health.
To take control of your health, schedule an appointment with our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Andrea Giraldo, and our dental professionals.
