A smile makeover involves a combination of cosmetic procedures to enhance the appearance of your smile. A smile makeover can address aesthetic concerns, such as discoloration and misalignment, as well as functional concerns, such as bite problems and worn teeth.
At Hulen Smiles, Implant and Cosmetic dentist in Fort Worth TX, many of our patients choose to undergo smile makeovers to feel more confident in social situations and the workplace. Some patients undergo smile makeovers because they want to fix teeth that are crooked, discolored, or have gaps between them. Others simply want their teeth to be straighter, longer, or whiter to make them look more attractive.
What Happens During a Smile Makeover?
Your smile makeover will be tailored to your own unique needs and goals. During your smile makeover, our cosmetic dentist may recommend any of the following treatments:
Dental Veneers
These cosmetic shells are custom-made to cover the front of your teeth and correct the appearance of chips, gaps, stains, and more. Veneers can also restore teeth that have worn down due to grinding and clenching.
Teeth Whitening
Treatments with professional-strength bleaching gel can brighten your smile by several shades. At-home products are also available.
Invisalign
These clear plastic aligners straighten your teeth without wires or brackets. You can remove them for special events and to maintain your oral hygiene routine.
Fillings
White composite resin material can be tinted to match your natural tooth color, making it an excellent choice for filling cavities instead of silver amalgam.
Crowns and Bridges
A custom dental crown can replace a missing tooth or repair a tooth damaged due to decay, injury, or discoloration. Bridges are another option to replace several missing teeth at once.
Tooth Bonding
Tooth-colored composite resin can repair minor imperfections and even small chips and stains. It can also be used to fill small gaps between the teeth.
The Benefits of a Smile Makeover
Improved Confidence
When you love the way your smile looks, you tend to show it more often. Patients who get a smile makeover often feel more confident in their personal and professional lives.
Increased Aesthetic Appeal
A single procedure alone may not give you the beautiful results you desire. Combining a series of treatments makes it possible to correct several imperfections at once and achieve optimal aesthetics.
Fewer Dental Treatments in the Long Run
Certain cosmetic issues may require ongoing maintenance or treatment. By addressing these problems early on, you can prevent the need for more invasive procedures later.
