Whether you have a missing tooth, want to restore the appearance and function of your teeth, or are looking for a way to maintain the health of your teeth, a smile makeover can help you.
A smile makeover is a series of dental procedures designed to restore your smile. If you’re less than happy with the appearance of your grin, whether it’s due to missing teeth, discolouration, misalignment, or any other cosmetic issue, a smile makeover can help you regain your confidence and feel satisfied with your smile. Let’s take a look at some of the problems that can be fixed with a smile makeover.
Restore Missing Teeth
If you’ve been unlucky enough to lose a few teeth along the way, don’t despair! There are a variety of options available to fill the hole in your smile. These include the dental bridge, the dental crown, and the dentures.
The dental crown is the standard in restorative dentistry. It is a small porcelain piece that replaces a moderately sized tooth. It is often used in conjunction with a dental bridge to close a gap in your smile. The crown can also be used to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your teeth.
The dental crown is also one of the best dental solutions for replacing a missing tooth. It is also the most effective in restoring the function of your teeth. However, the crown is not for everyone. A dental professional will need to evaluate your jawbone volume before recommending the crown.
Dental implants are the most obvious and effective choice in the grand scheme of things. These are surgically inserted into the jawbone and act as artificial tooth roots. These can last for decades with proper care. If you need a full replacement, the All-On-4 method may be a good option for you.
Discreet Composite Fillings to Replace Metal
Choosing to replace silver amalgam fillings with composite fillings will give you a more attractive and healthier smile. Unlike silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings are biocompatible and are made from a tooth-colored material that blends in with your natural teeth. This type of filling is also more durable than silver fillings.
Besides being attractive, composite fillings are also known to strengthen teeth and prevent the accumulation of plaque. The filling material bonds with the tooth on a micromechanical level. The material is also available in several shades so it can be matched with the color of your teeth.
Fix Minor Cosmetic Issues
Having a smile makeover can improve the appearance and health of your teeth. There are several things that a smile makeover can include to improve the appearance of your teeth.
One of the most common procedures as part of a smile makeover is teeth whitening. This will clean any staining from your teeth, restoring them to sparkling whiteness. However, if your teeth are damaged, cracked, or deeply stained, you may opt for veneers instead. These are thin shells of porcelain that are placed on the front of your teeth. Porcelain veneers can also be used to correct minor misalignment of the teeth.
