Smile Makeover



If you have always been unhappy with and wanted to change certain aspects of your smile, a smile makeover can help you. Changes can be made to improve and repair any of the following problems:

- Discolored teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Chipped, cracked and broken teeth
- Worn teeth
- Replace metal fillings
- Replace old crowns and bonding

A smile makeover focuses on one or more areas that with some changes, will drastically improve the overall appearance of your smile, and create a uniform smile design that is suited to your personality and lifestyle. Talented cosmetic dentists use their skill and artistic ability, combined with the individual characteristics of their patient, to determine which procedures will be the most helpful and beneficial to them. Decisions will be based on your gender, age, facial features and facial characteristics.

Smile Makeover Procedures

Tooth Whitening - Your cosmetic dentist will take impressions of your teeth and use them to create bleaching trays that will be a custom fit to your mouth. The precise fit will avoid damage to your gums as a result of the bleaching solution. Each day you will add the bleaching solution to the trays and wear them for a few hours. Within one week to ten days you will notice drastic improvements in the brightness of your smile.

Porcelain Veneers - These are thin shells of porcelain that are shaped to fit over your natural teeth, then adhered to them with a bonding material. They offer a fast and easy way to hide cosmetic flaws in your natural teeth.

Bonding and Filling - These procedures are used when cavities, misalignments, gaps, chips and discoloration are the cosmetic issue. Bonding is performed by sculpting a composite resin onto the natural tooth to restore its appearance. Fillings created with the same composite resin as used in bonding offer a way to repair cavities while leaving a natural look to the affected tooth. Procelain inlays and onlays can also be used to make your smile look its absolute best.

Dental Implants - These are artificial teeth that replace missing or removed teeth. Dental implants are durable, permanent solutions to tooth loss that offer a natural appearance and complete functionality. The missing tooth is replaced with a post that is implanted into the jawbone.

This implant fuses to the jawbone over time and an artificial crown is placed on top of the implant that is shaped like the final, permanent tooth. Once the implant post is completely fused with your jawbone, the artificial tooth is permanently attached. Dental implants may also be placed as a starting point before other procedures can be performed.

A complete smile makeover will likely involve a combination of procedures that is designed to meet your unique needs. At last you have options available to you that can truly transform your smile into one you will be proud to look at in the mirror each day and show off confidently to the world around you. You and your cosmetic dentist will determine the specifics of your treatments during your intial consultation.
