Smile Makeover

A smile makeover involves a series of dental treatments designed to improve the aesthetic appeal of your smile. No matter the reason for your dissatisfaction, modern dental techniques offer various ways to enhance your smile. The decision to undergo a smile makeover is highly personal, and its significance varies from person to person. For example some people want the perfectly white “Hollywood smile makeover” or “celebrity smile” with pearly white porcelain veneers. Other people may just want a simple improvement such as the replacement of silver amalgam fillings with tooth coloured composite fillings and whitening.

Attaining a harmonious balance among teeth, lips, gums, and facial features is a crucial objective. Effective smile design entails a comprehensive assessment of these elements, which includes:

• Crooked teeth can be straightened with Invisalign invisible braces or conventional orthodontics. For a faster solution they can also be covered with porcelain veneers.
• Chipped, broken teeth can be repaired – the treatment available will depend on the extent of damage but the options include cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns.
• Missing teeth can be replaced – gaps between your teeth can cause functional problems as well as being unsightly. Often a smile makeover can involve the replacement of existing restorations or gaps between teeth. Solutions include dental Implants, a dental bridge or a denture.
• Gaps between your teeth can be closed to give your smile a more even look. This can be achieved instantly with porcelain veneers. Orthodontics can also be used to move the teeth and close the gaps between them.
• If you have a gummy smile, this can easily be remedied by surgical or laser gum contouring.
• If you are not satisfied with the colour of your teeth or if you have badly stained teeth they can be treated with professional tooth whitening.
• In all cases the treatments at the River Lawn Dental & Implant Centre are carried out by highly qualified and experienced dentists who strive for optimal aesthetic results.

There are lots of possibilities! Please tell your dentist if there is anything you don’t like about your smile.
