THE TOP 4 PROCEDURES IN A SMILE MAKEOVER

A beautiful smile is something many people desire, but few naturally have. The good news is that smile makeovers exist that can transform your smile without major surgery or lengthy treatments! This cosmetic dentistry solution can whiten, straighten, replace, or enhance the overall look of your teeth. Better yet, though most smile makeover treatments are cosmetic, certain procedures can improve tooth function, too, resulting in a healthier and more attractive smile. What are the most common procedures you can expect from a smile makeover?

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular components of a smile makeover. With in-office and take-home options, this solution can provide dazzling results in as little as one hour. Additionally, your dentist is available to help you choose the best shade of white for your smile and monitor your whitening process for the best results.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are another versatile and popular procedure in a smile makeover. These thin shells of porcelain cover over the front surface of your teeth, hiding imperfections like gaps, chips, stains, or improper size. Porcelain veneers can transform the look of teeth, often in just two appointments.

Dental Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns improve the look and function of a tooth by “capping” it with a custom-made restoration that restores the size, shape, and strength of a damaged tooth. Dental bridges can replace one or more missing teeth by attaching a row of dental crowns that span the empty tooth socket.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is the application of a tooth-coloured composite resin on the teeth. The composite resin is moulded and smoothed to match the surrounding teeth, improving the appearance of your smile. Composite resins are ideal for restoring decaying teeth and making cosmetic improvements. They help to conceal discolouration, fill minor gaps, correct crooked teeth and brighten your smile!

Dental bonding can be done in a single visit and is ideal for fixing minor imperfections. If you feel shy about your smile, we can provide you with this affordable cosmetic solution with dental bonding treatment.

WHAT IS EXTREME SMILE MAKEOVER

If you could change anything about your smile, what would it be? With an extreme smile makeover, you can improve the appearance of your teeth and gums in dozens of ways and finally have the smile of your dreams. An extreme smile makeover combines several cosmetic dentistry techniques and procedures aimed at improving the appearance of your smile.

Most dentists can restore your teeth and bite to function properly, but it takes real artistic skill to blend a combination of restorations – cosmetic bonding, crowns, whitening, veneers, implants and gum treatments – into a natural-looking smile that complements your facial features. Dr. Castro will consider your facial structure as part of the design process she uses to shape your beautiful new smile. She has undergone extensive training in the many cosmetic dental procedures you will need for your smile makeover.

Have a look at our smile makeover gallery page.  This will give you a better idea of the kind of results that can be achieved. In addition to correcting tooth proportions, your smile line and other aesthetic elements of your smile, we look at the following when deciding on the combination of treatments for your smile makeover:

Missing teeth – In addition to detracting from the overall appearance of your smile, missing teeth are an oral health hazard. They increase the chances of tooth decay and allow adjacent teeth to shift, which ruins the alignment of your teeth over time. Dr. Castro may suggest a dental implant, dental bridge or partial denture to properly complete and correct your bite.

Tooth color – Stains and discoloration can be distracting, even if you have perfectly aligned teeth. Dr. Castro will select the right color for your complexion and perform in-office teeth whitening. She also considers tooth color, shade and shape with smile makeover procedures such as porcelain veneers, dental crowns and cosmetic bonding.

Tooth alignment – Severely misaligned smiles may need to undergo full mouth reconstruction or orthodontic (teeth straightening) treatment prior to your smile makeover. Dr. Castro can improve slightly misaligned or overlapping teeth with cosmetic options such as porcelain veneers, clear braces or Invisalign clear aligners.

Tooth shape – Even small details such as tooth shape and size must be considered. Dr. Castro can lengthen or shorten teeth to a more attractive size using gum reduction or porcelain veneers. She can also alter tooth shape with cosmetic bonding and veneers.

Facial structure – As your teeth age, wear down or fall out, your face shape can also change and make your face look sunken and older. Dr. Castro may recommend teeth straightening or oral maxillofacial surgery to fill out your cheeks and face for a more youthful look.

An extreme smile makeover can include dental implants and restorations and everything else described above for the smile of your dreams.

Smile makeovers are typically created with the use of porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns and/or porcelain onlays. Veneers are thin shells of fired porcelain that are placed on the front surfaces of the teeth. Offering a natural look and feel, veneers allow the cosmetic dentist to dramatically change the length, width, color and shape of a tooth. Restoring teeth to their natural beauty, veneers also resist staining, creating an enduring white, bright straight smile. Porcelain crowns and onlays offer the same advantages.
