A Smile Makeover will involve consideration of your facial appearance, skin tone, hair color, teeth, gum tissue, and lips to develop a customized smile. It is not just about the teeth. The results of such a makeover are improvements as follows:
· Optimal Tooth Color: Silver or amalgam dental fillings can be replaced with natural color, tooth-colored composite restorations and teeth whitening can improve the color of all stained teeth. Tooth color and shading are very important considerations during the evaluation and preparation for many different procedures, including porcelain veneers and dental implants.
· Aligning for Success: Crooked, overlapping, or gapping teeth can also be straightened when necessary through orthodontics and improved with veneers.
· A Full Set: Missing teeth can be replaced by dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures.
· Contoured for Look: Uneven teeth can be bonded for better looking appearance. Gummy smiles can be re-contoured to help improve the overall look of ones smile.
· The Full Face Effect: An unshapely or even aging face can be improved or rejuvenated with certain procedures in the Smile Makeover category, including orthodontics and or oral maxillofacial surgery.
What is The Life of Your Smile Makeover?
Cosmetic dentistry procedures can require maintenance over a period of time. Teeth whitening should be repeated on occasion in order to maintain brightness. Porcelain veneers can chip or break off and need replacement. Permanent bondings can stain and require enhancement or replacement. Dental crowns will typically require replacement after 10 to 15 years. Gummy smile improvements could also require enhancement over a period of time.
Your ceramist, lab technician, and the materials chosen by your dentist are also affecting the longevity of your Smile Makeover. To achieve the best results, you must take special care in selecting your cosmetic dentist.
