What Issues Can Be Corrected with a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover is a cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of the smile. It may involve one or more cosmetic procedures, such as dental veneers, teeth whitening, dental bonding, or dental implant-supported restorations.

Stained or Discolored Teeth

Over time, your smile can begin to look dull or stained. Coffee, wine, and smoking can all leave your teeth looking yellow. A cosmetic dentist can use professional teeth whitening treatments to reach deeper stains that you can't remove on your own. Additionally, tooth-colored fillings can be shaded to match the color of your teeth to make them blend in more seamlessly with the rest of your smile.

Crooked, Gapped, or Misaligned Teeth

A smile makeover can address many aesthetic issues you may have with your teeth and bite. It's often recommended if you have multiple problems with your appearance and want a comprehensive solution rather than individual procedures to address each problem separately.

Some of the most common problems that can be addressed with a cosmetic procedure are crooked, gapped, or misaligned teeth. These problems can make you feel self-conscious about sharing your smile with others. You may have difficulty chewing, which may cause problems with your diet and nutrition. You may also experience headaches due to jaw pain caused by the misalignment of your teeth and jaw. A smile makeover can help address these concerns by improving the appearance of your teeth and correcting the problems associated with them.

Missing Teeth

If you have several missing teeth, it's important to replace them as soon as possible. Without replacement teeth, your other teeth will shift out of place, and your jawbone will lose density. This can lead to further tooth loss and a sunken facial appearance. Fortunately, your dentist can correct these issues with a complete smile makeover. Your dentist can provide you with dental implants or implant-supported dentures to restore your smile. Implants are surgically implanted directly into the jaw to provide a stable foundation for the restoration above. These artificial roots will eventually fuse to the bone in the jaw to create a strong and sturdy base for your restorations. Then, an abutment is placed on the implants, which will hold the restorations in place. An implant-supported denture simply replaces an entire arch of teeth to give you a natural-looking aesthetic. This procedure requires a number of visits to complete; however, you'll be able to leave our office with a beautiful new smile and healthy oral function.
