How can a smile makeover improve my smile?
Whatever the reasons for your dissatisfaction with your smile, there are many different ways in which you can improve your smile using modern cosmetic dentistry:
- Crooked teeth can be straightened with Lingual braces or conventional cosmetic orthodontics. They can also be covered with porcelain or composite veneers for a faster solution, often referred to as “instant orthodontics” In this situation, the main disadvantage is that your teeth need to be prepared for veneers.
- Chipped, broken teeth can be repaired - the treatment will depend on the extent of damage, but the options include cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns.
- Missing teeth can be replaced - gaps between your teeth can cause functional problems as well as being unsightly. Often, a smile makeover involves the replacement of existing restorations or gaps between teeth. Solutions include dental implants, a dental bridge or a denture.
- Gaps between your teeth can be closed to give your smile a more even look. This can be achieved instantly with porcelain or composite veneers . Orthodontics can also be used to move the teeth and close the gaps between them. Invisible braces, lingual braces and fixed orthodontics are just a few options for moving your teeth to close gaps.
- If you have a gummy smile, this can easily be remedied by surgical or laser gum contouring.
- If you are not satisfied with the colour of your teeth, or if you have badly stained teeth, they can be treated with prophylaxis/ cleaning or professional teeth whitening.
- If you have deep smile lines, frown lines or lips that have lost their fullness, these can all be improved using a combination of Botox and dermal filler treatments.
- Tooth Length: The effects of aging and every day wear and tear can detract from a youthful appearance. A smile makeover treatment for shorter teeth may include the reshaping and lengthening of the two front central teeth with composite bonding or porcelain veneers.
- Tooth Proportions: A balanced smile gives the appearance of proper proportion and good oral health. Your dentist will work with you to design a treatment plan that enhances your teeth's esthetics and gives you a beautifully.
The end result of a smile makeover for many people is a smile to be proud of, one that is straight, white and perfectly aligned.
