Invisalign®
Straighten Teeth with Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Over a million patients worldwide have used Invisalign® to straighten their teeth without metal braces. Dr. DuPont, Dr. Wilkerson and Dr. Brandimore offer patients the option of easily and comfortably straightening their teeth with Invisalign®.
Invisible braces is perfect for patients who need mild to moderate orthodontic treatment. Invisalign® uses a series of virtually invisible custom-made aligner trays to gradually shift your teeth into place. And unlike metal braces, Invisalign® braces are removable!
- While wearing these aligners, you’ll enjoy the freedom of being able to eat and drink comfortably.
- Invisible aligners are so thin and clear, most people probably won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
- Because the aligners are removable, you’ll be able to floss and brush your teeth according to your normal routine to keep teeth and gums healthy.
Straight and properly aligned teeth are key components of a properly functioning and good-looking smile. Visit Esthetic & Integrative Dentistry to find out how you can start on the path to straighter teeth.
Porcelain Veneers
Brighten Your Smile with Porcelaine Veneers
Don’t like how your teeth look? If they’re misshapen, discolored, chipped or worn teeth, porcelain veneers may be the best way to improve their appearance. Unlike dental crowns which cover the entire tooth, dental veneers are a thin ceramic shell that is bonded to the front of the teeth.
Natural Tooth Preservation
To accommodate the dental veneer, a portion of the natural tooth structure must be removed. Dr. DuPont, Dr. Wilkerson and Dr. Brandimore use the latest porcelain materials and techniques to preserve a very high percentage of the natural tooth. The dental veneer typically does not require reducing all the way around the tooth, but just the front and top surfaces, leaving the inside half of the tooth untouched.
Beautiful, Natural Looking Results
Another advantage of porcelain veneers is the beautiful translucency they provide. Veneers for teeth created by layers of ultra thin porcelain material that interacts with the light just like natural enamel.
Long Term Solution
Porcelain veneers are a permanent restoration and designed to last for many years with proper care and maintenance. Unlike natural tooth enamel, porcelain material of dental veneers is highly stain resistant, so you can be sure your smile will remain bright and white.
Porcelain Veneers Procedure
The most important step for restoring your smile with porcelain veneers is the upfront consultation and treatment planning. The process for restoring your smile with porcelain veneers takes place over multiple visits. During these appointments, our doctors will design, create and place the dental veneers.
Our dentists will spend considerable time one-on-one with you to discuss your treatment goals. Using 2-D and 3-D imaging, we will be able to mock up your proposed results so you can see what your smile will look like with porcelain veneers.
Once the teeth have been prepared, an impression will be made and you will be fitted for temporary dental veneers to protect your teeth while the final restorations are being made. In a few weeks, you will come for your final visit where the permanent dental veneers will be bonded to your teeth.

Teeth Whitening
The First Step to Make Your Teeth White and Brighten Your Smile
At Esthetic & Integrative Dentistry, located in St. Petersburg, FL, teeth whitening is often the first step we recommend to remove teeth stains and discoloration. Teeth whitening, also known as teeth bleaching, has evolved to affordably produce noticeably whiter teeth in a very short amount of time.
The process of whitening your teeth is very easily done in the privacy of your own home. First, in our office we create bleaching trays that are custom-made to perfectly fit to your teeth, ensuring that you whiten all of your teeth with minimal discomfort. Once you have the trays, we provide you with professional quality bleaching gel, which you place inside the trays and wear for one hour or more each day. That's all there is to it!
This at-home teeth whitening method is the most popular among dental patients because of its affordability and convenience. Most patients see a notable whiter difference in the color of their teeth in less than 2 weeks.
You don't have to live with embarrassing stains and discolored teeth. Talk with doctors DuPont, Wilkerson and Brandimore to find out how teeth whitening can help you quickly and easily improve your smile.
