Smile Makeover
Are you proud of your smile? Or do you avoid laughing and smiling, due to
being unhappy with the look of your smile? The good news is that there are options that
can get you the smile makeover that will keep you smiling, for years to come.
Whether you have crooked teeth, discoloration or perhaps missing teeth, there is a
dental solution to restore and makeover your smile.
Understanding the Smile Makeover
Just what is a smile makeover? The smile makeover will simultaneously
address several structural or cosmetic concerns. This could include gaps, stains, chips,
cracks and misalignment. Each of these concerns can result in unhealthy-looking teeth,
and can contribute to the signs of premature aging.
Your smile makeover will be custom-tailored to meet your smile perfecting needs. Some
of the procedures that may be combined in order to complete a smile makeover may
include the following.
- Veneers, to conceal small imperfections on teeth. Cracks, chips and gaps in your smile can be addressed by veneers.
- Orthodontic solutions, including the Invisalign aligner tray system, can treatcosmetic alignment concerns.
- Teeth whitening. In-office and at-home options can help to restore your teeth to a brilliant pearly white.
Part of a smile makeover is ensuring that your teeth are healthy. Any cavities and other
signs of decay will need to be addressed before addressing the cosmetic concerns. The
treatment plan can vary for each patient, with the ultimate goal being a restore beautiful
smile.
The Connection Between Age and the Smile Makeover
Let’s face it, healthy white teeth are very often associated with youth and
vitality. If your teeth are discolored, or they have worn down, there may be the idea that
you are older than your years.
Teeth can naturally wear down as we age. They can also start to change color.
Sometimes the foods and drinks that we enjoy can be responsible for the change in
color to our teeth. Teeth whitening solutions can turn back the clock, by whitening your
teeth several shades at a time. There are in-office options, and also professional quality
solutions that you can do at home.
If the discoloration and staining is too severe to be addressed by teeth whitening
treatments, veneers may be the better choice. Veneers can instantly transform your
teeth, giving you that crisp white smile you deserve.
Teeth that have sustained severe damage or are perhaps less than stable may be better
served by crowns. Crowns can protect the natural tooth, while also allowing you to
transform your smile.
The Connection Between Personal Habits and the Smile Makeover
The smile is one of the first things that people tend to notice about us. A
healthy white smile can lend the impression that you are in good health. There may also
be the idea that unhealthy teeth can correlate to unhealthy personal habits.
Consider going on an interview. While you should be judged for your professional
merits and your experience, the truth is that you may be judged for your appearance.
Poor oral health may give the impression that you are lacking in focus in other areas of
your life, including your work habits. After all, if you can’t take care of your teeth and
personal health, how can you take care of the needs of the business you’re interviewing
with?
It could be that you grind your teeth, as a result of stress in your life. There are night
guards that can help to protect your teeth from further damage.

decay and discoloration in your teeth. Smokers are at an increased risk for oral health
concerns.
Those who suffer from acid reflux, or who perhaps enjoy a wide range of acidic foods
and drinks, can also see significant damage to their teeth through the years.
The Connection Between Childhood Dental Neglect and the Smile Makeover
On average, our new patients have not been seen by a dentist in over a decade. This is
quite often as a result of a lack of dental care growing up. Dental treatments have
traditionally been costly considerations, putting them out of reach of the average family
struggling to make ends meet.
There could also be some lack of understanding about the importance of good
oral hygiene. Educational programs directed at children can make a world of difference.
A smile makeover can give adults the brilliant white and cheery smile they’ve always
longed for. From orthodontic treatments that adjust misalignments, to veneers that
conceal minor cosmetic concerns, there’s a solution that can allow you to finally see the
smile that you’ve been dreaming of.
The Connection Between Genetics and the Smile Makeover
We can’t escape our genetics. If a family member has a history of gum disease, tooth
decay and other dental health concerns, there is a good chance that you will develop
these same concerns.
The really good news is that with proper dental healthcare, including annual checkups,
many of those same issues that were once a family curse can be identified in their early
stages.
If the damage has been done, you don’t need to live with teeth that you’re ashamed of.
With a smile makeover, you’ll be able to restore your beautiful grin. You may benefit
from the orthodontic treatment you weren’t able to get when you were a child. Or
perhaps decay and gum disease can be treated, to reduce your risks of losing teeth.
Remember that your smile is often one of the ways that people perceive your level of
friendliness. If you aren’t comfortable with your smile, then you may simply avoid
smiling. While this is understandable, it can quickly lead to those around you thinking
that you are simply not friendly. The concern about others seeing your smile may lead
to anxiety that could even be read in your eyes as anger or hostility.
Restoring your smile, with a smile makeover, will allow you to make the right first
impression. It will also allow you to see the boost in confidence that you deserve. You
don’t need to live with a smile that you’re ashamed of. A smile makeover could just be
the first stage of your brand new life. Contact us today and take the next steps.
