Gapped, chipped, stained, and crooked teeth can have an immense impact on a person’s self-esteem, and not in a positive way. People with these dental issues often feel self-conscious in group settings and tend to shy away from attention. Think of how this might affect a person’s relationships, social life, and occupational success!

If this feels familiar to you, a smile makeover could be a life-changer. An experienced cosmetic dentist can create a treatment plan that consists of a combination of cosmetic and restorative procedures to give you the smile you’ve always wanted.

Here are five of the most common cosmetic treatments we offer:

1.    Teeth whitening

Over-the-counter whitening options usually leave people disappointed. These methods require much effort and time from a person, and they typically provide meager results. In contrast, professional teeth whitening at a dentist’s office takes about one hour and provides patients with an incredibly bright smile.

The professional whitening process is simple, quick, and affordable. We recommend it for most patients who undergo a smile makeover!

2.    Dental bonding

The tooth-colored composite resin material used for dental bonding is a wonderful, budget-friendly option for patients who want to transform the color, shape, or length of a tooth. Composite resin can also be used to replace silver fillings and crowns.

3.    Gum contouring

Do you have a gummy smile? Or do some or all of your teeth appear to be too long? Your teeth may not be the issue—it could be that you have excess gum tissue or receding gums.

Gum contouring involves removing or adding tissue to the gum line. Patients who need gum contouring should choose a cosmetic dentist who uses dental lasers or the pinhole surgical technique to complete this procedure. These modern and minimally invasive treatment methods ensure a comfortable experience and quick recovery for patients.

4.    Porcelain veneers

Patients who desire a single treatment for various dental imperfections often choose porcelain veneers. These tooth-colored shells require permanent alteration to a person’s dental enamel and cannot be undone. However, porcelain veneers are extremely strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing, so patients rarely regret their decision to get them.

Porcelain veneers cover up several dental imperfections at once, including:

• Intrinsic and extrinsic dental stains
• A tooth that’s too short
• Chips, cracks, and gaps in teeth
• Mild dental misalignment

5.    Orthodontics

Moderate to severe cases of dental misalignment, gapped teeth, or crowded teeth call or orthodontic treatment. Traditional metal braces, clear braces, and Invisalign® clear aligners can make all the difference in a person’s smile.

For patients who need braces, this will be the first step in their smile makeover. Any other treatments will follow once the orthodontic treatment is complete.
