Smile Makeover Randolph MA
Are your teeth otherwise healthy, but you find it difficult to display a confident smile because of minor defects with your teeth? If so, you might benefit from a smile makeover. A smile makeover is a combination of cosmetic dental procedures that focuses upon improving the aesthetics of a patient’s smile. Each smile makeover is performed based upon a customized plan developed for each individual patient.
Best Candidates
You may make a good candidate for a smile makeover if you have any of the following cosmetic issues with your teeth and smile:
- Overly long teeth
- Missing teeth
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Discolored teeth
- Uneven texture or tooth proportions
Consultation
Before you undergo a smile makeover, you will need to meet with your dentist in a consultation. After learning of the current state of your teeth and smile, your dentist will offer their recommendations for which individual procedures should make up your unique smile makeover.
Your individual smile makeover may include one or more of the following cosmetic procedures:
Professional Teeth Whitening
It is impossible to look your best when you have stained or discolored teeth. Whether the discoloration was caused by smoking tobacco products, or drinking beverages like coffee, tea, or red wine, the result is a substandard, less confident smile.
A professional teeth whitening treatment can whiten your teeth several shades, depending upon your individual preferences. Your dental team will isolate treated teeth to minimize post-treatment sensitivity. They will apply a whitening gel for a specified amount of time, depending upon your treatment goals. A special light may be used in conjunction with the gel to amplify its effects.
Dental Implants
Do you have one or more missing teeth? You may qualify for dental implants, which are devices that are implanted right into the jawbone to provide firm support for normal biting and chewing force.
To place your dental implants, you would come in for an appointment to have a metal rod placed within your jawbone, which allows for the connection of a connecting abutment structure, followed by a dental crown on top to provide a chewing and biting surface.
Although getting a dental implant will take a few months to complete, this type of restoration has an overwhelming patient satisfaction rate, offering a strong and durable replacement for natural teeth.
Porcelain Veneers
If you have multiple cosmetic problems with your teeth, such as minor chips and discoloration, you may want to include porcelain veneers as part of your smile makeover. Your dentist would place a thin shell of porcelain over treated teeth. Porcelain is a strong material that closely matches the appearance of natural teeth.
In most cases, getting porcelain veneers requires multiple appointments. At your first, your dentist would remove a small amount of tooth enamel from treated teeth and place temporary veneers. After a dental lab has created your new porcelain veneers, you would return for a follow-up appointment to have them placed.
