What Is A Smile Makeover?

Don’t like your smile? Well, you have lots of ways to fix that!

For those looking for a more dramatic change in appearance, a smile makeover can be most beneficial.

Rather than having just one procedure, smile makeovers create a thorough treatment plan that could include several therapies to ensure patients get the picture-perfect smiles they truly deserve.

What Procedures Are Usually Done in Smile Makeovers?

Smile makeovers can use a combination of both restorative and cosmetic dental procedures. The exact treatment plan varies from patient to patient since it depends on their expectations and oral health state. 

Here are some common procedures used during a smile makeover:

1. Professional teeth whitening

Teeth whitening helps change your teeth’s color and is recommended if you have a badly stained and discolored smile.

2. Dental crowns and bridges

Dental crowns are caps that can both restore a damaged tooth and change its appearance. If you have a large cavity, an infection, or your tooth is badly cracked or worn down, crowns can be an effective way to restore it.

Bridges are similar to crowns, but they can also replace missing teeth. The bridge is made of 1-2 artificial teeth in the middle and two caps that anchor it to the arch.

3. Dental implants

Dental implants are a great tooth replacement option because they also help support your long-term oral health. An implant replaces both the crown and the root of the tooth and helps stimulate the jaw bone.

If you have severe tooth loss or dental damage, you should restore either the full or parietal arch with implant-supported dentures. They provide natural results and feel very comfortable.

4. Veneers 

Veneers are one of the most popular types of cosmetic dental procedures. They are thin layers of porcelain that get bonded to the front surface of the natural tooth.

Once a veneer is placed, it can cover most types of cosmetic imperfections, from discoloration to misshapen teeth, uneven teeth, and even gaps between teeth.

5. Clear aligners 

Clear aligners help fix tooth alignment, but unlike braces, they do it in a much more discreet and comfortable way.

They can be necessary to fix existing alignment issues or to prepare for other procedures, like straightening the teeth to make room for a dental implant.

6. Botox and fillers

Dentists are also experts in facial structures and tissues, so getting fillers and Botox at a dental practice is a very sound decision! 

These injections can complete a smile makeover and help improve some facial features, plump lips, remove fine lines, and more!
