Smile makeovers are a group of treatments customised to suit your needs
When you are unhappy with the look of your smile it can severely impact your self-esteem and confidence. The smile makeover process can give you the ability to change the way you look and feel about yourself.
Our smile makeover process can restore your teeth to allow for a beautiful, natural, and a more youthful looking smile. Transforming your smile might be as simple as a tooth whitening treatment or having a few porcelain veneers bonded to your front teeth.
A smile makeover can combine a range of cosmetic dental treatments that will restore your smile to a satisfactory level. Our range of cosmetic dental treatments includes:
- Tooth whitening
- Dental implants
- Porcelain crowns
- Porcelain veneers
Some factors which may influence the success and selection of your smile makeover include:
Tooth Color
Tooth color depends on both the age of the patient and their skin tone. Shades that are too light in some cases do not look natural, and in other cases, greatly enhance the patient’s smile.
Face Shape
The shape of tooth selection is dependent upon the shape of the patient’s face. For example, longer teeth often have a narrowing effect on patients who have rounder faces.
Tooth Size
More youthful smiles often have longer teeth. Even if teeth have been worn over years, a more youthful smile can often be created by lengthening the front teeth. Porcelain veneers and in some cases, re-contouring gum tissue can create this youthful effect. The porcelain veneers used are as thin as fingernails, yet when bonded to teeth create strength and beauty that is unparalleled.
Crooked Teeth
In many cases, using porcelain veneers we can create a perfect arch and smile without orthodontic treatment. This can be done in as little as one visit with CEREC. Discolored teeth, worn teeth and chipped teeth can be treated using the same porcelain technology.
