Smile Makeover Consultations

There is no single definition of a smile makeover. Each one is individual. Our cosmetic dentists use their technical skills and artistic abilities to give you a smile that is beautiful and natural-looking as well as healthy.

A cosmetic dentistry consultation is an integral part of the process. Your teeth, gums and jaw position all work together to give your face personality. The changes made to these areas must also complement your facial structure, skin tone and lip shape and movement. During your consultation, your cosmetic dentist will do a complete examination of all aspects of your teeth, gums, and bite, including:

• The physical condition (length, texture, size) of your teeth
• The shape of your gum line
• Your teeth spacing
• Your jaw alignment (your bite)
• Your tooth color and your hair and skin coloring

Some Smile Makeover Procedures

After a full analysis, we will recommend a variety of cosmetic dental procedures to achieve your smile makeover. Porcelain veneers can correct many defects in one procedure. Gum recontouring is a quick and easy way to reshape the gumline and correct a gummy smile. Replacing any metal fillings and gold crowns with tooth-colored fillings and white porcelain crowns will give your smile an attractive, even whiteness.

Other possibilities are:

• Dental implants to replace missing teeth
• Teeth whitening – done before any restorations so that your cosmetic dentist can match the restorations to your new bright color
• Dental crowns of porcelain to give a new shape and color to a disfigured tooth

Your dentist will explain each procedure so that you will know all the advantages and disadvantages and can feel comfortable with your decisions. It is important for you to have realistic expectations about each procedure so you will be fully satisfied with your results.
