Statement: Dr. April Patterson, DDS—known affectionately to her patients as Dr. Patty—is a leading, five-star-rated dentist based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida who serves both cosmetic and restorative dentistry patients across the South Florida region. Her state-of-the-art Miami office will launch later in 2022.

A highly-trained dentist who has studied with some of the foremost cosmetic dental specialists in the field, she founded Dr. Patty’s Dental Boutique & Spa more than a decade ago to provide patients with exceptional dental care. Dr. Patty has since grown her dental boutique into one of the most sought-after dental practices in South Florida, boasting a who’s who of notable clients.

Dr. Patty and her team redefined the dental experience by creating an exciting and transformative niche in dentistry: the dental spa. This upgraded, patient-centered, luxe experience transforms the dreaded trip to the dentist’s office into a day of pampering in a high-end boutique environment—one that has been featured everywhere from a bevy of South Florida-area publications to a nationally-televised feature on Good Morning America. Her innovative, “comfort conscious” approach to dentistry is renowned for putting even the most anxious dental patients at ease.

At the young age of 10, Dr. Patty decided that she would become a dentist after seeing the impact of dental work on a close family member. “I noticed the change in her personality and boost in confidence after her braces were removed,” says Dr. Patty. She resolved then to create the same type of positive transformations for others through the art and science of dentistry—a resolve that persists until this day.

Dr. Patty’s office offers a wide array of cosmetic dental treatments using the most cutting-edge equipment and techniques. Those treatments include veneers, cosmetic braces, IV sedation and smile makeovers, among others.

But while beauty begins with a healthy mouth at Dr. Patty’s Dental Spa & Boutique, it doesn’t end there. Her office also offers a comprehensive array of aesthetic and spa treatments that compliment the “glow-up” patients achieve with an upgraded smile. These include aesthetic treatments such as thread lifts, Juvederm, Radiesse, Botox and Dysport, as well as facials and a full brow and lash bar.

Patients can even top off their dental treatment with a massage—or have one beforehand as a way to relax before their dental procedure.

Dr. Patty earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biology at Florida State University, then completed dental school at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where she also completed her residency.

In addition to Dr. Patty’s commitment to delivering each patient a concierge-style experience and unparalleled one-on-one dental care, she is also passionate about her role as an entrepreneur and working mother of two young daughters, who sometimes make special guest appearances at the office.

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Where should Botox be injected to get rid of permanent creases over lateral eyebrows?
How do I get rid of the permanent creases over my lateral brows
May 16, 2021
Too much Botox right over this area is not a good idea and could result in a droop. However, an experienced injector could get rid of most of them without causing a droop. What I recommend to my clients who have creases in this area is a follow up appointment after initial injection for Botox microdroplets first and then an additional appointment to do threads in that area to help your body generate collagen in that area to get rid of the wrinkles there.
Hope this helps and good luck!Dr. Patty
How effective is masseter reduction Botox and is my retouched photo possible?
Will Botox in my massetter muscle slim my face?
May 16, 2021
Absolutely! If you are given enough units and you do proper touch ups every 3 months you can achieve a much thinner jaw like your re-touched photo. I’d also recommend you have a consult on your teeth and bite to determine if a occlusal guard would be necessary to assist in your treatment long term.
Hope this helps and good luck! Dr. Patty#queenofveneers
How many veneers would you recommend for me to achieve a nice straight smile?
How many veneers should I get
May 16, 2021
Based in this photo, I’d recommend you get at least 6, but 8 would be even better. This would give you a straight smile that matches and blends with your back teeth.
Hope this helps and good luck!Dr. Patty#queenofveneers
Are veneers a good fit for me?
Should I get a single veneer
May 16, 2021
You have a great smile. It really just depends on how perfect you want your smile to be. Should you opt for 1 veneer on that small tooth you would also need to get a gingivectomy there in order to make the height of the tissue of that tooth match the lateral on the other side in order to create symmetry. This would need to be done by a highly trained Cosmetic dentist to make sure Color match is on point and that the tooth looks really natural to match the shaping along with opacities and…
Is it possible to get a front crown to match in all lighting or should I get veneers on my other t
How do I fix a grey tooth with a veneer on it
May 8, 2021
So sorry to hear about your accident that damaged your front teeth. That’s soo traumatic to experience. If you presented to my office I’d whiten your teeth and do internal bleaching in the grey tooth after giving it a root canal. It’s dead, and that’s why it has turned grey. You’d need 2 Crowns for the front teeth as It would be better for the tooth that had a veneer to be fully covered by a crown after the root canal. Because you are In front of the camera if budget allows, I’d recommend y…
My teeth are perfect. I do not want to get veneers but I want to widen my smile. Is there another
Can I widen my smile more after braces
May 8, 2021
You have a beautiful smile and beautiful teeth! If you’ve already gone through braces, without cracking your jaw to widen your smile, your only option to achieve a wider smile would be veneers or a snap on smile type of device that you put over your teeth. You probably have a narrow arch and your teeth are flared out at their max. Hope this helps and good luck!
Veneers too thick? Aside from redoing them, can anything be done?
Is there a way to fix thick Veneers
May 8, 2021
I’m so sorry to hear that you are disappointed in the way your veneers came out. The first question I always have for clients who come for a second opinion on veneers they don’t like, is “How much did you pay for them?”. All veneers are not created equal and veneer prices can go from $800-$2000 in my office and the veneer material a client received is determined by the price a client pays. Our main procedure is veneers so we have different levels of veneers. Emax is on the cheaper side of…
