Changing Your Smile Aesthetics with a Smile Makeover

If you’re unhappy with your smile and want to change multiple aspects of it, a makeover from your dentist can help. While general dentistry is an excellent choice for keeping your teeth and gums healthy and strong, here’s how cosmetic dentistry can make aesthetic changes to give you the gorgeous, glowing grin you’ve been dreaming of!

Color and Shade

Even if you have a perfectly aligned smile, the color and shade of your teeth is likely one of the first things people notice about you. It’s also one of the most common things patients want to change. The good news is that your dentist has a solution. Professional whitening treatments can be done at home or in-office, depending on your needs, and can remove up to eight shades of discoloration in about two weeks!

Dark Restorations

Do you have old amalgam metal fillings or crowns that are visible when you open your mouth to eat or speak? Are you tired of covering your mouth to hide them? Upgrading to durable, lifelike metal-free restorations can solve this problem and still restore and protect the underlying tooth from damage for up to 15 years.

Shape, Size, and Spacing

Whether you feel like they’re too small, unevenly spaced, or simply not attractively shaped, veneers are thin porcelain shells that fit over your existing teeth and can instantly change the shape, size, and even their spacing in about two appointments. Plus, they’re long-lasting, and with proper care and use can last up to 20 years.

Chips or Uneven Wear

Chips and uneven wear can occur due to accidental injury or over time. Cosmetic bonding uses the same durable, natural-looking composite resin your dentist uses to create tooth-colored fillings to repair or rebuild damaged teeth. It can also quickly and painlessly cover deep stains or discoloration, and with proper care and use can last up to five years.

Remember, while it’s common to have aesthetic elements of your smile you don’t like, the good news is that a smile makeover can correct them, and give you the gorgeous, glowing grin you’ve always wanted.
