Smile Makeovers A smile makeover, also sometimes called a smile design, is one of the best ways to address any concerns you may have about the appearance of your smile. Instead of scheduling an appointment for veneers or a dental crown or teeth whitening, you can work with us at Hidden Springs Family Dentistry to determine which combination of those treatments or other cosmetic dentistry treatments will help you achieve the smile of your dreams.What is a Smile Makeover?A smile makeover is a comprehensive dental treatment plan that resolves any problem you have with your smile, whether functional, cosmetic, or both. A smile makeover usually involves more than one dental treatment and can include treatments like veneers, bonding, teeth whitening, gum contouring, dental crowns, and dental implants. The goal of a smile makeover is to give you the smile you have always wanted. How Does a Smile Makeover Work?The first step in your smile makeover is calling our office and booking an appointment so we can perform a full assessment of your needs and what you want to achieve. During your appointment, we will determine the best treatment(s) to restore your smile and discover if there is anything else you want to change about your smile. Some issues we might address during your appointment are tooth color, tooth spacing, teeth that are chipped or cracked, and teeth that are missing or uneven. We then put together a treatment plan that addresses all your needs. Depending on the issues you would like resolved, your smile makeover may involve a series of dental appointments. Once we determine your treatment plan, we can give you an idea of what your smile will look like after your treatment is completed. We do this by using dental imaging software, dental models, and before and after pictures of patients with similar conditions. We can also give you an idea of what it will involve to maintain your smile makeover based on the procedures that will be done. Aesthetic Dentistry Options for Your Smile TransformationA smile makeover can consist of various cosmetic dentistry procedures that aim to enhance the appearance of your teeth and smile. These are procedures like dental veneers, teeth whitening, dental implants, dental bonding, and orthodontic treatment. Each procedure serves a unique purpose and can be customized to fit your specific needs and goals for your smile. Dental ImplantsOne of the most common smile makeover procedures is dental implants. It involves the placement of artificial tooth roots made of titanium into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants will work great for you if you are missing one or more teeth. We will have to evaluate you first before determining if they are the best course of action. Teeth WhiteningIt's inevitable that as we age, our teeth may become discolored due to various factors such as the foods we consume or the beverages we drink. This discoloration can hinder the beauty of our smiles and affect our self-confidence. However, the transformative power of teeth whitening treatments can't be understated when it comes to enhancing our smiles and restoring their radiance. There are many teeth whitening solutions, but in this case, you will need to go by our professionals' suggestions. Dental CrownsAnother common smile makeover procedure is dental crown placement. This is often done to replace damaged teeth or restore their shape, size, and strength. Crowns can be made of porcelain or metal, and the one you choose will depend on your preference and condition. Dental VeneersVeneers play a significant role in smile makeover procedures, offering a transformative solution to enhance the appearance of your teeth. These thin shells, typically made of porcelain, are carefully crafted to fit over the front surface of your teeth. Whether you wish to address discoloration, chips, or misalignment, veneers provide a long-lasting and natural-looking solution, ensuring your smile radiates with confidence. Dental BondingDental bonding is a versatile technique that allows for precise corrections of dental imperfections. If you have chipped or cracked teeth, dental bonding can seamlessly restore their shape and integrity, creating a smooth and natural-looking surface. Discolored teeth can also be improved through bonding, as the tooth-colored resin material matches the shade of your existing teeth, resulting in a harmonious and uniform smile. Additionally, dental bonding can address unevenly spaced teeth, closing gaps and achieving a more balanced appearance. Dental BridgesAs part of a comprehensive smile makeover, dental bridges offer an excellent solution for individuals with one or more missing teeth. These restorative appliances serve to fill the gaps in your smile, providing a seamless and natural-looking appearance. There are a variety of materials that can be used to make dental bridges. This includes porcelain, gold, and composite resin. All are customizable to match the color and shape of your surrounding teeth, creating an aesthetically pleasing result. Benefits of a Smile MakeoverA smile makeover can do more than restore your natural smile. Your smile makeover can address issues like tooth length and proportion, tooth texture, gum contouring, and your smile line. It can also address any cosmetic imperfections in your teeth. It can even include dental surgery to help restore the look of any areas of your face that have changed shape due to dental conditions. Who is a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover?You may be a good candidate for a smile makeover if you are unhappy with your smile for any reason. You may want a smile makeover to address missing or unevenly spaced teeth or teeth that are damaged in some way. Due to a smile makeover involving multiple cosmetic dentistry procedures, you should be committed to maintaining the results of those procedures with good oral hygiene and regular dental appointments. You should also understand that some of the procedures, such as veneers and crowns, will need to be redone after several years, as they only last a certain amount of time. If you are considering a smile makeover, you can call us at (971) 414-3994 and book a consultation. Our team at Hidden Springs Family Dentistry stands ready to help you reach your smile makeover goals. |
