SMILE TRANSFORMATION
Create the
Smile You've
Always Wanted
Cosmetic dentistry has become one of the most requested areas of dental care — and in the Carrollwood and Northdale communities Dr. Boe serves, it’s easy to understand why. Patients here are motivated, appearance-conscious, and looking for a dentist who will take their smile goals seriously rather than offer a one-size-fits-all approach. At Boe Family Dental, Dr. Eric Boe, DMD, brings that kind of attentiveness to every cosmetic consultation. He listens first, asks about what you actually notice when you look in the mirror, and builds a treatment plan around your specific concerns rather than defaulting to the most expensive option.
Dr. Boe’s approach to cosmetic care is rooted in his restorative background. He thinks structurally — about how a tooth is built, what material will perform best in a given position, and how a single treatment interacts with the rest of the bite. That matters in cosmetic work because results that look beautiful today but fail mechanically in two years aren’t really good results. His goal is to deliver smile improvements that hold up, look natural, and require the minimum amount of tooth structure removal to achieve. Patients throughout Carrollwood, Westchase, and northwest Tampa trust that approach for results that last. As your Carrollwood restorative and cosmetic dentist, Dr. Boe designs treatment plans with both appearance and long-term oral health in mind.
Before any cosmetic treatment begins, Dr. Boe evaluates your overall oral health. Active decay or gum issues are addressed first — cosmetic work placed on a compromised foundation won’t last, and it isn’t in your interest to skip that step. Once your mouth is healthy, cosmetic treatment can proceed with confidence that your results will be both beautiful and durable.
COMPREHENSIVE COSMETIC SOLUTIONS
Tailored Treatment
Options
Take-home teeth whitening. Dr. Boe provides professional-grade take-home whitening systems — custom-fitted trays and prescription-strength gel that deliver noticeably brighter results than anything available over the counter. Take-home whitening lets you control the pace and intensity of treatment on your own schedule. The American Dental Association recommends consulting your dentist before whitening to ensure the method you use is appropriate for your specific type of discoloration — not all staining responds the same way, and some causes of discoloration require a different approach entirely.
Composite bonding. Bonding is one of the most versatile and underappreciated cosmetic treatments available. Using tooth-colored composite resin sculpted directly to the tooth surface, Dr. Boe can repair chips, close small gaps, reshape uneven teeth, or correct minor surface discoloration — often in a single appointment with no anesthesia required. The material is color-matched to blend with your natural enamel and polished smooth. For patients with one or two teeth that have always bothered them, bonding offers a conservative, same-day solution that can make a significant difference without any permanent alteration to the tooth.
Smile makeovers. When a single treatment isn’t enough to achieve the result a patient is looking for, Dr. Boe designs a coordinated smile makeover — a sequenced combination of procedures that work together toward a specific aesthetic goal. A smile makeover may combine whitening and bonding, or restorative work like dental crowns with cosmetic contouring. Every plan is built around what the patient actually wants to change, not a pre-packaged treatment bundle.
White spot removal and enamel recontouring. White spot lesions (demineralized patches on tooth enamel) and slightly uneven tooth edges are common concerns that can often be addressed minimally and quickly. Dr. Boe evaluates whether these are candidates for conservative cosmetic correction.

YOUR COSMETIC JOURNEY
Treatment Process
Consultation and Smile Design
Your cosmetic journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Boe listens to your concerns, goals, and expectations. He examines your teeth, gums, and bite to assess your oral health and determine which treatments will achieve your desired results. Using digital imaging and diagnostic tools, Dr. Boe can show you potential outcomes and help you visualize your new smile. Together, you’ll develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and fits your budget and timeline.
Treatment Implementation
Once you approve your treatment plan, Dr. Boe begins the transformation process. The number of appointments required depends on which procedures you’re receiving. Some treatments like bonding or professional whitening can be completed in a single visit, while others like veneers or dental crowns require multiple appointments for tooth preparation, impressions, and final placement. Throughout the process, Dr. Boe ensures your comfort and keeps you informed about what to expect at each stage of treatment.
Final Results and Maintenance
After completing your cosmetic treatments, Dr. Boe provides detailed instructions for maintaining your beautiful new smile. Proper oral hygiene, regular dental cleanings and exams, and certain lifestyle modifications help protect your investment and ensure long-lasting results. Dr. Boe remains available to address any questions or concerns you have as you adjust to your enhanced smile. Many patients report increased confidence and satisfaction with their appearance following cosmetic dental treatment, positively impacting both personal and professional aspects of their lives.
IDEAL CANDIDATES
Is Cosmetic Dentistry
Right for You?
Most adults with good oral health make excellent candidates for cosmetic dentistry. The ideal candidate has realistic expectations about treatment outcomes and is committed to maintaining results through good oral hygiene and regular dental care. If you’re bothered by the appearance of your smile and wish to make improvements, cosmetic dentistry likely offers solutions that can help you achieve your goals.
However, certain oral health issues must be addressed before pursuing cosmetic treatments. Active tooth decay, gum disease, or other dental problems should be treated first to ensure a healthy foundation for cosmetic work. Dr. Boe evaluates your complete oral health status during your consultation and recommends any necessary preliminary treatments. Once your oral health is optimized, you can proceed with confidence knowing your cosmetic results will be both beautiful and long-lasting.

NATURAL-LOOKING RESULTS
The Art of
Smile Design
What makes a cosmetic result look natural rather than overdone comes down to proportion, color calibration, and understanding how light interacts with tooth enamel. Dr. Boe considers your skin tone, the shape of your face, and how your teeth relate to your lips and gum line before recommending any aesthetic changes. The goal isn’t to give everyone the same Hollywood-white result — it’s to enhance what’s already there in a way that looks completely right for that person.
For bonding and restorative cosmetics, Dr. Boe works with a local dental lab to ensure shade-matched restorations that harmonize with your surrounding natural teeth. This local partnership allows for more precise communication about color and shape than working with a distant lab — and it means materials can be adjusted quickly if a result needs refinement. Modern composites and ceramic materials have translucent properties that mimic natural enamel, so the final result reads as a tooth, not a patch.
Results are only as good as the foundation they sit on. That’s why Dr. Boe’s cosmetic consultations always include a full oral health evaluation — and why patients who arrive with untreated decay or gum issues get a clear sequence: health first, then cosmetics. It may add a step before treatment begins, but it’s the difference between results that last years and results that fail months after placement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is teeth whitening covered by dental insurance?
The longevity of cosmetic dental treatments varies depending on the specific procedure and how well you maintain your results. Professional teeth whitening typically lasts one to three years before touch-ups are needed. Dental bonding may last three to seven years, while porcelain veneers and crowns can last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. Maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding habits that can damage teeth like chewing ice or biting fingernails, and attending regular dental checkups all contribute to extending the life of your cosmetic work.
Does cosmetic dentistry damage natural teeth?
Modern cosmetic dentistry techniques are designed to be as conservative as possible while achieving excellent aesthetic results. Treatments like professional whitening and bonding preserve natural tooth structure entirely. Even procedures that require some tooth preparation, such as veneers or crowns, involve minimal removal of tooth structure when performed by an experienced dentist like Dr. Boe. He prioritizes conservative approaches that maintain as much healthy tooth structure as possible while delivering the beautiful, lasting results you desire for your smile.
