The Highest Credential in Cosmetic Dentistry
Accredited Fellowship in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry is the highest peer-reviewed credential in cosmetic dentistry. Fewer than 100 dentists in the world hold it. Strupp & Brumm is one of only two practices anywhere — and the only practice in Florida — with two Accredited Fellows working together under one roof.
When you are searching for the best cosmetic dentist in Florida or Tampa Bay, this is the credential that separates marketing from substance. Any dentist can call themselves a "cosmetic dentist." Only an Accredited Fellow has been judged by the harshest critics in the profession — and found to meet the standard.
This is the work other dentists send their own families for. It is the standard against which every other cosmetic quote should be compared.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-crafted ceramic shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They are the workhorse of modern cosmetic dentistry — ideal for correcting discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignment with a conservative, lifelike result.
Because we have an in-house laboratory, our veneers are designed, layered, and fit in collaboration with the doctor throughout your treatment. That kind of iterative craftsmanship is impossible when a case has to be shipped out and back to an external lab.
Smile Design & Full Cosmetic Reconstructions
A complete smile design considers tooth shape, shade, proportion, and the way your lips and face move when you speak and smile. We begin with a detailed consultation, preview the result with provisional restorations you can live with, and refine the design before committing to the final work.
For patients with extensive wear, previous dental work, or bite issues, we combine cosmetic and restorative techniques into a unified treatment plan — executed as one case, by one team, in one office.
Teeth Whitening
The simplest way to brighten your smile is often the right one. We offer professional in-office whitening and custom take-home systems. For patients considering veneers, we typically recommend whitening first — allowing us to match your restorations to a lighter baseline shade.
Dental Bonding
For chips, small gaps, and minor reshaping, dental bonding offers a conservative alternative to veneers. It can often be completed in a single visit. Bonding is an art form in skilled hands — which is exactly what you'll find here.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How long do porcelain veneers last?
- With proper care and regular hygiene visits, modern porcelain veneers routinely last 15–20+ years. Our in-house lab allows us to use the highest-quality materials and verify fit at a level of precision most offices cannot match.
- Will my smile look natural?
- Yes. Natural-looking results are the whole point — and the reason AACD Accredited Fellowship exists as a credential. Our ceramists layer porcelain to mimic the optical properties of natural enamel, including translucency and subtle color variation. Patients routinely tell us no one can tell their teeth have been restored.
- How long does a smile makeover take?
- Most full cosmetic cases span 2–4 visits over 4–8 weeks, depending on complexity. We plan the timing around your schedule — including for out-of-town patients who combine visits.
