Patient Testimonials - Alafaya Center for Cosmetic & Family Dentistry

Here, Dr. Michaelson used veneers to correct discoloring in the teeth and to improve spacing and tooth shape.

Breanna had researched procedures for some time on cosmetic dentistry.  She was always self-conscious about her teeth and smile.  After reading reviews and scanning our smile gallery on our website, Breanna called our office for an exam with Dr. Michaelson.   Breanna felt her teeth were small and there were gaps in between.  Dr. Michaelson recommended recontouring her gums with a laser creating space to lengthen her teeth and make them more symmetrical.   Breanna started treatment with Zoom in-office whitening, so we could pick a natural white shade for her veneers.  After she healed from the gum lift, Dr. Michaelson Placed 8 porcelain esthetic veneers.   Breanna loves that her smile looks so natural and feels beautiful when smiling.

Lanny had worn down his teeth due to years of grinding and clenching. Dr Michaelson recommended restoring his teeth with Porcelain crowns to the original length, and it would have start with opening his bite. Lanny's treatment was done over the course of several months with wearing a orthotic bite plate. We incrementally opened his bite to make room for the final restoration. Once enough room had been created Dr Michaelson fully reconstructed Lanny's mouth using a combination of crowns and veneers on all his teeth to match and retain the new bite. Lanny's teeth were restored repairing his bite, teeth , and overall giving him a handsome smile at the same time.

Nicole spent just a couple hours with us for her new bright smile. Zoom whitening is a fast and safe in-office whitening procedure. It can transform your smile from yellow stained teeth, to a gorgeous bright new smile!

David was unhappy with his smile for years and never wanted to show teeth. He had crowding and crooked upper front teeth and worn down edges. He also was unhappy with the shade of his teeth. We did zoom whitening and a combination of porcelain crowns and veneers on his 6 front teeth. The treatment was complete in 2 visits.

Dental patient review on cosmetic porcelain veneers. Dental laminates are often used to enhance smiles. Veneers can close spaces, lengthen teeth, and make teeth brighter. This patient had her teeth whitened prior to her dental veneers. Orlando Florida

Anthony had six month smiles orthodontics done to close spaces and straighten his teeth. After his braces came off he had his teeth whitened and then cosmetic bonding done. He is now able to smile confidently and laugh without hesitation!

Debbie is a long time customer who recommends our dental practice to family and friends. She has always left happy, at ease, and of course smiling.

When I was younger I was in an accident that broke my 2 front teeth. I suffered through my teen years and early adult life with discolored unnatural looking bondings. I am so glad I decided to fix my smile. The procedure was easy and painless and the end result is amazing. I love my new smile! I am so much more confident and get endless compliments on my smile. Thanks!
-Michelle

The work that was done on my teeth was one of the best decisions I have made. The added confidence I got makes me feel like I got a fresh start. The staff could not have been more welcoming and it was a family atmosphere and I enjoyed my visits every time.
-Mike

Since I was a teenager (many years ago), I wouldn't show my teeth when I smiled. My teeth were crooked and yellow. I envied other people who had nice, straight, white teeth. Now I love to show my teeth when I smile. Just last week my hairdresser commented how nice my teeth were looking. I can't thank my daughter and Dr. Michaelson enough. They've changed my life.
-Marlene

Thanks, to Dr. Michaelson and his wonderful staff for giving me the confidence to smile brightly in any situation. Regards,

-Marcia

Thank you for an award winning smile. People actually tell me I have perfect teeth, it feels great. Thanks for the great work.
-Kris

I am very happy with my new smile. It is difficult to remember what my old smile ever looked like. However, I remember always being self conscious of smiling and never liking the way my teeth looked. I am no longer uncomfortable smiling which is a huge change on a daily basis! Those that know I had dental work done are very impressed with the outcome, those who don't know me can't easily figure out what is different. My teeth and smile look like the one I should have been born with. I am happy with the smile lift. Dr. Perelmuter did a great job. Dr. Michaelson and Christina were genuine and kind during the entire process. I knew what to expect and when, which is comforting with such a big change. The entire staff was wonderful, caring and always energetic and upbeat. I have and will continue to positively recommend Dr. Michaelson and his team. Best wishes to you all!
-Kathryn

I have worked with Dr. Michaelson for over 15 years and see the result of his work daily. I never liked the uneven edges of my teeth and decided to do cosmetic treatment myself. The procedure was easy and painless and I love the results. I get to enjoy my new smile everyday!
-Ivette

I want to thank you so much for my beautiful smile. You have no idea how long I have waited for this day. All my life I hated my front teeth and you made them beautiful. Not only was your job perfect, but also the way your office staff and you treated me was beyond any other experience I have had in a long time. You made me feel welcome and special and not very many dentists know how to do that. From the moment I walked into your practice I felt great, the ambiance and the treatment is top-of-the-line. Your staff is pleasant and very professional, always willing to please, I loved that. Please don't ever change, what you are doing is great!
-Grisel

As Dr. Michaelson’s former dental assistant, I have seen him give patients amazing smile makeovers that completely change a person’s confidence level. This is why I decided it was my turn for Dr. Michaelson to enhance my smile. As a former team member and now as a patient, I can truly say I love my smile!
-Emma

My new smile is great! I feel very confident about me new smile and the confidence goes even deeper. I feel beautiful inside and out! Every time I walk past a mirror I smile ear to ear! The complements I receive are too many too count. It makes you feel very good inside when an outsider recognized your teeth! The staffs at Dr. Michaelson’s office are fantastic! Dr. Michaelson is a perfectionist and that is what makes him so talented! He loves what he does and truly cares about his clients. I would highly recommend him and his staff to anyone.
-Cortney

I was always self conscious of a space between my front teeth. Dr. Michaelson’s expertise helped me fix a problem I had all my life. I have no feeling of embarrassment when I speak to others and no longer worry about the space between my teeth.

Who wouldn't like to hear "you look so much younger!" I've heard those words many times since my restoration. Not only do I have a new confidence when smiling, but my family says I'm a happier person. Thank you Dr. Michaelson for your expertise and your truly caring staff - who always greeted me with smiles and a warm welcome. They always did everything to assure my comfort during each visit.
Also, thank you for the Target and Allure (a very nice surprise) gift certificates. You are first class in every way!
-Andrea

I am very pleased with my new appearance and I seem to be smiling a lot more. The whole experience from start to finish was such a positive endeavor; may I say I have never in my life enjoyed going to the dentist so much. You and your staff went out of your way to be gentle kind and positive; I miss not visiting you anymore. I have had many comments from friends, family and total strangers and all have been positive and complementary. I would recommend your services without hesitation.
Best Regards,
-Kay

Dr. Gary Michaelson came very highly recommended to me as both a qualified general and cosmetic dentist. He put me at ease on my first visit, and his office staff was so professional, patient, friendly and always available to make sure I was comfortable.
This is truly a “first class” environment.
My dental situation presented some special challenges, but Dr. Michaelson carefully discussed all options and the steps required to reach the best outcome possible. My treatment plan required veneers, crowns, and implants in order to reach my goal. I stopped being concerned when I realized he was a perfectionist, an “artist”, who cared about the end result as much as I did.
And the change was phenomenal! It’s unbelievable when I see how much better and yet - how natural my teeth look. Now I am so pleased with my smile, my more youthful appearance, and my improved dental health.. I can honestly say that the results exceeded my expectations.
-Susan

I really appreciate the quality of work you do. My new bridge looks so much more natural than the old one. you and your staff are so warm and welcoming which makes relaxing in the dentist's office much easier.
