See the process →Meet Dr. Jenifer Back
Artist, surgeon, and lifelong athlete.
A University of Kentucky DMD (1995), Dr. Back has practiced exclusively in Sarasota for three decades. A published author in national journals, she plans each case around face shape, age and how the teeth are used.
Beyond the operatory she's a globe-traveling fitness expert — the same discipline that fuels her insistence on perfection carries into every case she takes on. It's the rare blend of athlete's rigor and artist's eye that makes her work unmistakable.

Our work 
A smile makeover A smile makeover
Strong, durable, beautiful teeth
Teeth that look better, bite better and hold up. A smile makeover is a combination of treatments rather than a single procedure: Dr. Back takes facial shape, skin tone and facial structure into account, then plans around the teeth that need work.
In her own words
A patient on her cosmetic dentistry
A patient of this practice talks about her own cosmetic dentistry with Dr. Jenifer Back: what brought her in, what the appointments were actually like, and what she thinks of the result.
She also talks about the people. Working with the team at Sarasota Smile Design was, in her words, a pleasure, and she says so at length.
- Why she decided to have the work done
- What the procedure itself was like, chair time included
- How the practice handled her, appointment by appointment
- What changed for her afterwards
Filmed at the practice. Three minutes and fifty-two seconds, start to finish, with nothing cut. A patient of this practice, not an actor.

How veneers work and what they fix

Veneers
How long veneers last
Porcelain runs 10 to 15 years, composite 2 to 5. The gap is the material and how it is made, and most of what shortens either one is habit.
