A successful smile makeover can transform how you look and address lingering issues that you may be self-conscious about. Whether you do not like the shade of your teeth or think that the gaps between your teeth are too large, cosmetic dentistry can offer smile makeover services tailored to your goals.
Since smile makeovers are unique to the individual, your treatments will differ from those of someone else. That said, if you need inspiration, certain procedures are frequently part of a standard smile makeover.
A smile makeover is a cosmetic process that alters the aesthetic of the smile without harming its functionality. The procedures that a person might experience as part of their makeover will depend on the areas that they would like to address. In general, smile makeovers frequently include the following as needed.
Most people who undergo a makeover will start with tooth whitening. In-office whitening can lighten teeth by multiple shades, typically in about an hour or less. To prepare for the process, patients should make sure their teeth are healthy and clean. Those who need additional restorations may be encouraged to wait until these have been completed before undergoing whitening.
For patients who want to completely revitalize how their teeth look on an individual level, veneers can be an option to consider. A veneer is essentially a shell that forms the new outward face of a tooth. Choosing what a veneer looks like means choosing what that tooth looks like.
However, patients should keep in mind that if they commit to veneers, they will need to wear them for the rest of their lives. Veneers are attached by removing a small amount of enamel, so any affected tooth will need a veneer as a "shield" going forward.
Some patients are self-conscious about the way that their gums make their teeth look. If the gums have receded, the teeth may appear long, whereas excessive gum tissue can make the teeth seem short. Gum contouring and grafting can address these issues by either removing excess tissue or transplanting it into place.
For teeth that are shaped in a way that makes a patient feel self-conscious, bonding or crowns may suffice. These options can repair cracks or chips and even close gaps between teeth. The step in the process that bonding may be introduced will depend on whether the patient also wants teeth whitening, as the dentist will need to ensure that the bonding material matches the desired shade.
A smile makeover can aesthetically breathe new life into your smile and help you feel confident showing off those pearly whites. However, the steps to prepare for and complete your makeover will depend entirely on what you want fixed.
