A smile makeover is a process that entails using one or more dental procedures to help improve the appearance of your teeth while ensuring you enjoy optimal dental health. An effective smile redesign requires a good understanding of cosmetic dental techniques combined with aesthetics. Your cosmetic dentist understands the need for facial symmetry and the relationship between your facial muscles, bones, and your teeth.
Dental veneers are made from porcelain and are frequently used during smile makeovers. They cover teeth that may be stained or not quite the right shape. Porcelain veneers can ensure teeth look beautifully even and white.
Dental bonding creates a more subtle effect, using tooth-colored composite resin to address small imperfections in teeth such as cracks or chips, and is ideal for anyone looking for a quick, cost-effective smile makeover.
Teeth whitening is a very quick, affordable way to rejuvenate the appearance of your teeth. Treatment can take as little as an hour, lifting the color of your teeth by several shades and providing visible results.
Porcelain crowns are perfect for covering teeth that are substantially decayed or misshapen. They protect the entire tooth, and all-ceramic crowns provide excellent aesthetics. Porcelain bridges are perfect for bridging the gap left by a missing tooth and are custom-designed to look and feel natural and attractive.
Truly magnificent work. 10/10 would recommend it. I will definitely be coming back for more tooth art.
When you visit South Nassau Dental Arts, dentistry center for a smile makeover, our main concern is to ensure you enjoy teeth that are healthy and strong. When you have good dental health, the results of your smile makeover will last longer. Therefore, we may suggest other treatments to help improve your current dental health, such as gum disease or tooth decay treatment, before proceeding with your smile restoration.
Other treatments can significantly benefit oral health while improving your smile but take a little longer to complete. These include:
Invisalign is an adult-oriented orthodontics system designed to straighten your teeth nearly invisibly using clear plastic aligners. This advanced treatment can correct many common orthodontic problems, including overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Invisalign can create a straighter smile and provide benefits that can last for life.
When you have straighter teeth, they are potentially healthier as they will be easier to keep clean, reducing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Typically, Invisalign treatment takes six months to a year or longer, depending on the issues requiring correction. While Invisalign may take a little longer to complete, it can be a worthwhile investment in your dental health and smile.
Dental implants are an advanced method of replacing missing teeth, using a small titanium post that artificially replicates a real tooth root, supporting a replacement crown. Unlike a dental bridge, there is no need to modify the adjacent teeth for support as a dental implant is self-supporting. Also, a dental implant can significantly benefit oral health by protecting and preserving your jawbone, adjacent teeth, and your bite.
Usually, dental implant treatment takes several months to complete as it is a skilled procedure, but dental implants are long-lasting with the proper care. They can be a perfect choice, especially if you only need a single tooth implant. It is virtually impossible to tell an implant crown from a natural tooth.
The time needed to complete your smile makeover can vary considerably. For example, dental bonding and in-office teeth whitening can often be completed during a single visit.
Other treatments like veneers, crowns, and bridges will take a little longer. We need to prepare your teeth and custom design each restoration before it is fabricated to our exact prescription by our skilled dental lab. These restorations normally take several weeks to finish.
If you have any limited time to complete your smile makeover, please let us know during your initial consultation so we can work within your timeframe. Otherwise, it can be preferable to allow plenty of time for a smile makeover, just in case we need to make any adjustments to your treatment plan and so you can enjoy the process of seeing your new smile emerge.
