About smile makeovers

Choosing one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures to makeover a smile is an option for anyone who is not happy about their appearance. Whether a cosmetic dentistry procedure has been chosen or is being considered, it can be helpful to know that most smile makeovers can be complete in one to two appointments. Additionally, it is important to understand that it is not necessary to have any dental problems when wanting to undergo a cosmetic dentistry procedure. 

How to choose the right cosmetic dentistry procedure

The list below outlines some of the more common types of dental problems, along with a few popular types of cosmetic dentistry options to correct the problems. 

Missing teeth

There are a few different cosmetic dentistry options for those who are missing one or more of their teeth, which makes it important for patients to understand how each works. Common choices include fixed dental bridges, removable dentures and dental implants. While replacing missing teeth improves the look of a smile, it is also necessary to improve the health of one’s mouth. According to Healthline, teeth are designed to work together, so missing one or more teeth can sometimes impact speech, eating, and over time cause other problems.

Crooked teeth

Crooked teeth can be straightened by a cosmetic dentist, whether the imperfections are major or minor. Those who have very crooked teeth will need to choose one of the types of braces to correct them, e.g., ceramic braces, lingual braces or clear aligners. Those who have minimally crooked teeth can choose to wear braces or aligners to straighten them. Additionally, if the imperfections are minor, they can choose to undergo certain dental procedures, e.g., tooth bonding, dental veneers. Ultimately, it is up to the cosmetic dentist to help make the decision as they are the professional. 

A less than bright smile

Teeth whitening from a cosmetic dental professional can improve the way the smile appears. Whitening can remove stains and make the teeth look more natural. One choice includes undergoing an in-office whitening procedure, which only takes about an hour to perform with results lasting up to a year. Another choice for correcting stained teeth is custom-made whitening trays, which work quickly. They need to be done on a regular basis in order to maintain a white smile.
