IV Sedation

Unlike deep sedation or general anesthesia, with IV Sedation, you'll remain conscious during your procedure and still be able to cooperate with instructions. Prior to your treatment, you'll receive medication through an intravenous line. This will place you in a calm, relaxed state while you retain all verbal and physical response capabilities throughout your treatment.

Implants

Dental implants provide a comfortable, permanent solution to lost teeth. The dental replacements are attached to titanium posts that actually fuse to your jawbone and become natural anchors, so your new teeth will remain securely in place without the need for messy adhesives. A fully restored smile is as healthy as it is beautiful by promoting bone growth and reducing the risk of receding gums.

Smile Makeovers

A smile makeover is a process of improving the appearance of your smile through one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures such as dental veneers, composite bonding, implants, and teeth whitening. Your dentist will work with you to review and restore the overall harmony of your smile's alignment and spacing as well as the color and surface condition of your teeth.

Dental Services at Lake Nona Family Dentistry

Corrective Dentistry

Are you unhappy about the spacing or misalignment of your teeth, but you would like to know more about the options available? We encourage you to call us at 407-203-4100 and talk to our friendly, highly trained staff about our corrective dental procedures and the latest innovative orthodontic methods such as Invisalign® clear aligners. Our team will work with you to determine what method works best for your lifestyle and dental needs. Invisalign treatment is a wonderful option for working adults because it produces similar results to traditional metal braces, but utilizes a series of custom-made, clear aligners that are virtually invisible. You are able to maintain your professional appearance and enjoy the dramatic improvement of properly aligned teeth without feeling self-conscious. Make Lake Nona Family Dentistry your home for Invisalign aligners in Orlando!

Regular Check-Ups and Professional Cleaning

At Lake Nona Family Dentistry, we firmly believe that the best dental care is preventative dental care. Our goal is to help you maintain an effective routine for oral hygiene so that you are able to prevent tooth decay and avoid the cost and effort of dealing with cavities and gum disease. You can safeguard your smile with a visit every six months for a professional cleaning and dental exam. The dental team here at Lake Nona Family Dentistry can remove stubborn plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing simply can't handle as well as identify the warning signs of decay and damage that would normally go unnoticed.

Professional Teeth Whitening with GLO and Opalescence

Even the most carefully treated white teeth can fade over time or become discolored as the result of diet, personal habits, or aging. We will work with you to determine the best teeth whitening treatment for your personal needs and lifestyle.

We are proud to be a certified GLO® Science dental practice, offering our patients an exceptional teeth-whitening experience. We offer a variety of GLO teeth whitening options that fit your lifestyle and whitening needs, available exclusively through certified GLO dental practices like ours. We look forward to working with you to determine the best teeth whitening treatment for your specific needs.

The Opalescence Boost system utilizes a powerful teeth-whitening gel to brighten your smile by several shades in a short amount of time. We also offer the option of using custom Take Home Trays for your whitening treatments. Depending on your needs and preferences, our dental team will help you choose whether to receive this treatment in our office or apply it yourself in the comfort and convenience of your own home with a teeth-whitening kit.

Invisalign and Invisalign Teen 

Lake Nona Family Dentistry is proud to be your Invisalign provider in Orlando, Florida. Invisalign is an innovative alternative to traditional metal braces for correcting dental misalignment or spacing problems. Your teeth are gradually shifted into their optimal position by a series of custom-made clear aligners that are virtually invisible, comfortable to wear, and easily removed to accommodate activities such as eating or sports. Working adults are able to maintain a professional appearance and enjoy the dramatic improvement of properly aligned teeth without feeling self-conscious. Invisalign Teen is specially designed to complement your adolescent patient's lifestyle, which also encourages their enthusiastic participation in a way that traditional metal braces simply can't match.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front of the teeth in order to change their color, shape, size or length. Porcelain veneers are stronger, more durable, and resist stains better than resin veneers. These veneers are a popular option because they mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth.  Dental veneers can also provide relief from the tooth pain associated with worn enamel.

Crowns

At Lake Nona Family Dentistry, we apply a custom, natural-looking crown (or "cap") in cases where decay or trauma has done too much damage to completely restore the original tooth. Crowns are an excellent alternative to extraction that offer long-term durability, protection from decay or cracking, and an improved, natural appearance.

A crown may be right for you if...

  • you have chipped or broken teeth that are immediately visible as soon as the dental array is revealed. This situation could require tooth removal and cause a gap in your teeth that requires a surface replacement.
  • you have undergone a root canal that requires a significant portion of the tooth to be removed to make way for the support structure and the cleaning process.
  • you have weak and damage-prone teeth.
  • you have a tooth that is severely discolored.

State-of-the-Art Technology

Here at Lake Nona Family Dentistry, we utilize the most advanced, up-to-date technology in order to diagnose and treat dental problems with the highest level of accuracy and effectiveness. You no longer have to deal with time-consuming, uncomfortable traditional dental x-rays. Instead, at Lake Nona Family Dentistry we use non-invasive, painless equipment to instantly produce high-resolution digital images and x-rays that allow our dentist to identify problems such as tooth decay, worn enamel, periodontal disease, or micro-fractures that would normally remain undetectable and untreated.

Emergency Dental Care in Orlando, Florida

A severe tooth cavity, physical trauma, and other oral health problems can be incredibly uncomfortable, and we are here to treat dental issues that just can't wait for your regular check-up. Whether you're suffering from a painful cavity, cracked tooth, or a loose filling, please don't hesitate to give Lake Nona Family Dentistry a call! Research shows periodontal problems can potentially elevate the risk for other health issues, including diabetes, stroke and cardiovascular disease. Your health and comfort are our first priority.
