Anthony DeLucia D.D.S., P.A. is a Stuart based family dentist practice that treats patients of all ages. We are committed to delivering the highest quality dental care and do so using state-of-the-art dental equipment. We are a cosmetic dentist that offers services like checkups, teeth cleaning, crowns, veneers and more.
Anthony DeLucia, D.D.S. is a 1983 graduate of Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biology and Chemistry. He received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery Degree from Georgetown University Dental School in Washington D.C. in 1987.
At Anthony DeLucia D.D.S., P.A., we provide clear braces throughout the Stuart area. Straight teeth are important for your overall oral health. When teeth are crooked, they can become stained and infected more easily. By straightening teeth, we can improve your appearance and decrease the risk of getting cavities at the same time. We can also address issues that you may have with your jaw by aligning your bite. Clear braces are truly a comprehensive way and discreet way to address oral health concerns.
We understand that while many people want to have straighter teeth, many teens and adults are uncomfortable with the traditional metal braces on their teeth for more than one year. While they are not as discreet as people wish, metal braces are an effective tool for straightening teeth. The procedure works by placing a metal bracket onto the surface of each tooth and running a wire through those brackets. It is impossible not to notice when someone is wearing traditional metal braces. While the treatment works, it can also negatively impact a persons' appearance while doing so. This has led many people to seek out a better option, one that we provide.
At Anthony DeLucia D.D.S., P.A., we offer clear alternatives for adults and teens the greater Stuart area. We can straighten teeth and move them into the perfect position so the patient has a beautiful and radiant straight smile. If you have crooked teeth, unsightly gaps between your teeth or a misaligned bite, then we can help to correct these issues and more. Clear braces work just as effectively as metal braces but with some major improvements. Clear braces are much more difficult to notice, making them ideal for busy professionals, teens and those that do not want to negatively impact their current appearance during the process.
There are several types of clear and barely visible options to choose. One operates similarly to traditional metal braces where we place a bracket onto each tooth and thread a wire between the brackets. The difference is that instead of being made out of metal, the brackets for clear braces consists of a tooth-colored resin that blends in with the natural tooth. The wire is also tooth-colored so that the braces themselves are almost invisible and difficult to see. We find that this solution works well for teens and adults that are able to practice proper dental hygiene with the clear braces. Otherwise, food can stain the brackets. This solution is an excellent alternative to traditional braces and is just as effective at addressing all oral health concerns.
Clear braces also come in the form of aligners. Clear aligners look like a full retainer that surrounds the teeth and are worn on the upper and lower teeth. Aligners are more convenient to wear than metal braces since patients can remove them when necessary. One of the major concerns that people have with wearing braces is that they do not come off until the treatment is complete. If, for example, you get braces then decide to get married, you will either have braces in your wedding pictures or need to pay to remove them and reinstall them after. Simultaneously, if you have a big presentation at work and want to impress a client, your braces cannot come off for the meeting. This leaves many adults apprehensive about committing to a two-year treatment plan. We understand that appearance is important for more than vanity. It impacts your ability to create a professional image and retain your own self-image. As a Stuart provider of clear braces and aligners, we make it so that you do not have to compromise your appearance or lifestyle while straightening teeth; aligners are a key component of that.
We treat both teens and adults and understand that both can benefit from similar treatment options. While children may not be able to wear clear braces, teens can wear clear braces if they take proper care of them. The main difference between clear braces for teens and adult braces, is that teens may need to use their aligners for a longer period of time. With such a busy schedule, we expect teens to remove their aligners more frequently to do things like play sports.
We can straighten your teeth using clear aligners and use them to dramatically improve your smile. Instead of using traditional metal braces where we bond brackets to the teeth and thread wires between them, we use clear aligners to straighten teeth.This process is just as effective but you will not have the inconveniences associated with
We get a lot of questions about clear aligners from patients who want to straighten their teeth but are not sure about the best option. With clear aligners, a lot of people are still adjusting to the idea of straightening teeth without the need for metal brackets. We have the ability to offer patients a
Invisalign provides a discreet way to straighten teeth that allows you to show off your teeth as they move towards better alignment. These aligner trays are a sharp contrast to traditional metal braces which are highly conspicuous devices.Thinking about giving Invisalign a shot? Here are some questions you should have answered before starting your treatment
Going to see an Invisalign dentist is very common these days because a lot of people with crooked teeth, crowded teeth and bite problems are looking for discreet ways to fix their teeth. However, there are still some people who do not know much about Invisalign aligners and what to expect during treatment.Before a patient
The team at Anthony DeLucia D.D.S., P.A. believe in the importance of preventative care. We focus on keeping patients in good oral health so that they can live a full, healthy, and enjoyable life that is free from oral pain. This starts by educating our patients on what they can do to stay healthy at home. In our family dentist office we recommend that patients eat a healthy diet that consists of green leafy vegetables, lean protein, nuts, dairy products, and crunchy fruits and veggies. Eating these foods along with drinking water can help to keep teeth healthy and make them stronger. By simultaneously reducing sugar intake, patients can also reduce their risk of cavities.
It is also important to brush and floss throughout the day. Instead of waiting for bedtime to brush teeth, carry a small toothbrush and use it after meals and snacks. This makes it possible to remove sugar and bacteria from the teeth and gums before it has the opportunity to turn into acid that can attack the teeth. This preventative step can greatly reduce a persons' risk of getting a cavity or gum disease. We understand the importance of taking these steps at home and will spend the time necessary to educate and inform patients so that they can stay healthy overall. Education, after all, is essential for living a long and healthy life.
Understanding the importance of these regular dental exams, the staff at Anthony DeLucia D.D.S., P.A. work to make each patient extremely comfortable. This includes being welcoming and kind while performing dental treatments in a way that is painless and relaxing. Patients visit our dentist office because they trust us to do just that take care of their teeth and gums, gently. The majority of our patients are local and come from the greater Stuart area, we also see patients that are looking for gentle dental care.
Seniors, on the other hand, often struggle with gum disease and oral infections. As people age, their teeth can become weaker and infected more easily. Bone loss is incredibly common with seniors and by conducting regular dental exams, the team at Anthony DeLucia D.D.S., P.A. can help seniors to have strong teeth and reduce the risk of them falling out. Since over seventy percent of U.S. adults suffer from tooth loss, preventative care is important.
A. Primary, or 'baby,' teeth are important for many reasons. Not only do they help children speak clearly and chew naturally, they also aid in forming a path that permanent teeth can follow when they are ready to come in.
A. First, rinse the irritated area with warm salt water and place a cold compress on the face if it is swollen. Give the child acetaminophen for any pain, rather than placing aspirin on the teeth or gums. Finally, see a dentist as soon as possible.
A. Sealants work by filling in the crevasses on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. This shuts out food particles that could get caught in the teeth, causing cavities. The application is fast and comfortable and can effectively protect teeth for many years.
A. Have your family dentist evaluate the fluoride level of your child's primary source of drinking water. If your child is not getting enough fluoride internally through water (especially if the fluoride level is deficient or if your child drinks bottled water without fluoride), then we may prescribe fluoride supplements.
A. Soft plastic mouthguards can be used to protect teeth, lips, cheeks and gums from sport related injuries. A custom-fitted mouthguard will protect your teeth from injuries and even provide protection from severe injuries to the head.
A. There is very little risk in dental X-rays. Family dentists are especially careful to limit the amount of radiation to which you and your family are exposed. Lead aprons and high-speed film are used to ensure safety and minimize the amount of radiation. Digital x-rays provide an even greater level of protection by using up to 90 percent less radiation.
While many parents remind their children and ensure that they brush their teeth on a regular basis, children need professional dental care at a dentist. Along with specialized care toward children, there are also other steps parents can take to ensure their children have healthy teeth. As a family dentist, we suggest taking the following

Dr. DeLucia is a master! One of the best dentists me and my husband I have been in our intire lifes. I was extremely afraid of the anesthesia but Dr DeLucia and his dental assistant Alketa made me feel so safe. Alketa couldn't be nicer, delicate, and professional. Both work together (Dr.De Lucia and Alketa) in perfect harmony and with a precision that you only see in very experienced and excellent professionals. You feel confident to trust your dental health to Dr.De Lucia practice. And to complete all that, Mirna and Reesa at the front desk are so kind, and professional.

Dr. DeLucia and his team deserve more than 5 stars. Their warmth, kindness, patience and expertise goes far beyond anything I've ever encountered. Over the past few months I've had a lot of work done & their care has been consistent; its not a one time thing. Dr. DeLucia worked with me until he was completely satisfied with the results and now I have the best smile I've ever had in my life!! I've been to many dentists in 3 different states and can tell you he's in a class by himself, no other even comes close. Thank you again, Dr. DeLucia

Back in January I came in for an emergency appointment, they were able to fit me right in and all staff was nice and friendly. I happened to sign up for the in-house insurance plan being young and not having any insurance to help out with my procedures. Even with insurance I was still going to have to pay an Absurd amount of money, I was also told by doc that I was going to have to have a tooth extracted when my other dentist I went to (because it was more affordable) was able to save my tooth and has no idea why anyone would tell me it needed to be extracted. ANYWAY, got the in house insurance, never able to use it, but you pay 3 months in advance when you buy it. I knew I was already out of my money, so when the recharge date came around, I called to cancel, was told I'll get a call back, no call back and was charged. Call again next month, is told my insurance would be canceled. Yet, here we are again, this morning, and I'm still getting charged for this insurance that I've tried cancelling multiple times.

Certainly not a low cost dentist, but worth the extra money for sure. I have TERRIBLE dental anxiety and the standard amount of novacaine doesn't work for me-terrible mix if you can imagine. The entire staff here are so understanding and comforting. They go above and beyond to make every experience as painless as possible in every way. I recommend Dr delucia to everyone, especially if you have high anxiety.

While visiting from out of state I had a dental emergency & contacted Dr DeLucia's office. From the first moment I talked with Risa in his office, they helped me beyond expectations. Dr. DeLucia is fabulous and his whole staff is kind, talented & wonderful to deal with. I feel very fortunate that I found them. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Dentist visits are typically nerve wracking but Dr. DeLucia and staff go above and beyond, they go the extra mile to make their patients feel welcome, important and safe in the hands of experienced and knowledgeable professionals. I have already posted my first experience with Dr. DeLucia, now several years later I am posting my husband's first experience. My husband who rarely went to the dentist had reached the point where he had no choice; his teeth were "falling apart"; he was in desperate need of dentures. Once again, the front desk people were kind, thoughtful and helpful and very attentive to COVID sanitation requirements as are all the staff members. Dr. DeLucia is EXTREMELY meticulous, detailed and thorough. He wasn't satisfied with the impression plate for my husband's dentures and had one custom made so that the dentures would be a great fit (not just adequate). Oh, and by the way my husband is completely blind; so Dr. DeLucia brought out sample dentures and jawbones and explained the necessary details to him letting him "feel" what he was telling him. The day of the tooth extractions (22 teeth) went extremely well, took less time than estimated and my husband went home with his new teeth and beautiful smile. The next day Dr. DeLucia made a follow-up call to check on my husband's recovery which was also beyond our expectations. One of the qualities you will quickly discover about Dr. DeLucia is that it's not "just business" with him, it's personal. He cares about you, your comfort and your teeth. And although we are completely confident in Dr. DeLucia's technical skills, it is his compassion and kindness that transform a dental appointment from what can be a anxiety-filled and sometimes nightmare visit into a calm experience where your confidence in the staff creates an atmosphere where you can relax and focus on the "finished product" of a pain free mouth and a beautiful, natural looking smile. We are thankful to have found an outstanding dentist in Dr. Anthony DeLucia.

I just recently moved to the area and was looking for a dentist. I came across Dr. Anthony Delucia and made my first appointment. I was nervous at first seeing the dentist for the first time. But as soon as I walked in they made me feel like family. The whole staff is very friendly and polite. I just had a appointment and was in the chair for three hours and actually fell asleep. The doctor was totally awesome. If your the type that gets nervous when seeing a dentist I guarantee you will be very satisfied. So go ahead and make your first appointment.
