If you’re looking for a total smile makeover, you’ve come to the right place. However, you may be wondering what happens in a smile makeover. Since each smile is different, the types of procedures you need to achieve your dream smile can be different. Here, we’ve rounded up some of the most common techniques to transform your smile so you can better understand what a smile makeover entails.
Dental Bonding
If you have misshapen or chipped teeth, dental bonding can help. Dental bonding helps smooth out the edges of your teeth without the full surface change that comes with a veneer. This procedure can help with gapping, oddly spaced teeth, or changing teeth with surface issues in one spot. While more complex surface repair may require veneers, dental bonding makes it easy to fix unsightly teeth.
Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, sculpted pieces of composite resin that bond to the surface of your teeth. These can come as single teeth or replace a whole row of your teeth. Veneers are primarily for aesthetic purposes and replace part of your enamel.
To install veneers, your dentist removes some of the enamel on your teeth. Then, they bond the veneers to the surface of your teeth. Veneers look natural and can replace stained, discolored, mishappen, or otherwise unsightly teeth for the smile of your dreams.
Crowns
Dental crowns go over your existing teeth. They can be functional, replacing a chewing surface, or purely aesthetic to fix mishappen or unsightly teeth. Dental crowns can also protect decayed or weakened teeth and help strengthen damaged teeth. Dental crowns can also attach to dental implants to replace removed teeth and are an important part of dental bridges and all-on-four implant replacements, which can replace missing teeth.
Enamel Shaping
Enamel shaping can correct your existing enamel and be paired with dental veneers, bonding, and crowns. Enamel shaping can even out surface issues, like bumpy, uneven teeth, or remove discoloration stained on the surface. Enamel shaping is great for crowded teeth, as it can remove some of the enamel between your teeth so they fit better together.
Braces
Braces can be part of a total smile makeover. Braces, as well as other forms of orthodontia, can help straighten out your smile. Tradition braces and clear braces can help impact the overall appearance of your smile while also realigning your bite. If you need a total smile makeover, braces can help you achieve your goals. While many people dislike braces, the result is worth the wait.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a crucial part of a total smile makeover. If you have unsightly stains on your teeth, teeth whitening can help remove them and brighten the overall appearance of your smile. Teeth whitening at a dental office is safe and can get you better results than over-the-counter teeth whitening products.
