Smile Makeovers and Cosmetic Dentistry

What Are My Options?

A smile make over is an individualized plan to transform a patient’s smile for optimum aesthetics and function. There are many paths to choose from to get a great end result. Whitening procedures, bonding resins, orthodontics, veneers and implants are all used in transforming smiles. Many times it takes a combination of these tools to achieve the perfect smile. In some cases, a patient may come in unhappy with their smile and all it takes is Zoom Whitening treatment, done in our office, and they walk out feeling great about their smile. In other cases, transforming a patient’s smile may be more complex. We may need to change the shape, contour and/or position of the teeth. Changing the position of teeth can be achieved with orthodontics, using braces or Invisalign. Changing the shape of teeth usually involves using bonding techniques, veneers or crowns. If there are missing teeth, implants, bridges, or implant supported dentures are all options.Since there are so many different paths to achieve the ideal smile, good communication with your dentist is very important. Smile makeover patients are scheduled for an in-depth consultation to discuss and outline the desired results, and a custom treatment plan is developed.The benefits of an improved smile often go beyond aesthetic appeal. Having healthy, attractive teeth can increase motivation for overall personal wellness. Weight loss, increased self-confidence, and social well-being can also result by just taking that first step to improve your smile.
