A smile makeover is a comprehensive cosmetic dentistry approach that can significantly enhance the overall aesthetics of a patient’s smile. Upon completion of the procedure, patients can achieve a visually pleasing and rejuvenated smile.
A smile makeover refers to a comprehensive approach to enhancing the aesthetics of the smile through the use of one or more cosmetic dental procedures. These procedures may include bonding, teeth whitening, tooth-colored fillings, veneers, dental crowns, implants, or bridges, among others. The goal of a smile makeover is to improve the overall appearance of the smile, as well as to address any functional concerns, resulting in a more confident and radiant smile.
A smile makeover is a customized treatment plan tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs and goals. During your initial consultation, a thorough evaluation of your oral health and smile is conducted. This evaluation may involve taking photographs, X-rays, and dental impressions.
Based on the evaluation and what you want to achieve, we will recommend a combination of cosmetic dental treatments that may include bonding, teeth whitening, tooth-colored fillings, veneers, dental crowns, implants, or bridges.
The treatment plan will be fully discussed with you, including the cost, time frame, and expected results. The actual treatment process will involve a series of appointments where the chosen procedures are performed to achieve the desired outcome.
With the advancements in technology, you can now try your new smile in wax first, which allows you to make any last-minute changes before the prosthetic work is fitted permanently.
A smile makeover can transform your smile and provide you with a beautiful, youthful-looking smile that you can be proud to show off.
The following are common dental imperfections that can be corrected with a smile makeover giving a more aesthetically pleasing appearance:
⦾ Discoloration or staining
⦾ Dental alignment issues such as crooked or misaligned teeth
⦾ Irregular gaps or spacing between teeth
⦾ Dental gaps caused by missing teeth
⦾ Dental imperfections such as chipped or fractured teeth
⦾ A tooth that appears short
A successful smile makeover relies on collaboration between the dentist, the patient and our laboratory technician to develop a personalized treatment plan. Prior to beginning the transformation process, we will conduct a thorough oral health screening to assess the overall health of the mouth. Because each patient has unique needs and goals, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to smile makeovers. The procedure demands meticulous attention to detail and an artistic eye for aesthetics. We will evaluate the teeth, gums, supporting structures and bite to determine if the patient is a suitable candidate for a smile makeover. In the event of an existing oral health issue, such as gum disease, treatment must be administered before beginning the smile transformation process.
To provide our patients with an idea of what their new smile will look like, we will use software to create a digital mockup which can be trialled on your smile be any dental procedures begin. We can also provide before-and-after photographs of previously completed work so you can gain further insight into the quality of our finished work and the expertise involved.
