The New Generation of Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover is somewhat of a general term that can refer to pretty much any cosmetic dental treatment performed to enhance the appearance of your smile. Basically, it is a combination of procedures performed to enhance the esthetic beauty of a smile. That can mean anything from whitening to filling in gaps with dental implants, straightening, replacing old metal dental work with tooth-colored restorations, and more. With today’s advances in technology and treatment techniques, more can be accomplished with smile makeovers than ever before.
Form and Function
The great thing about the smile makeover is that the combination of treatments is not strictly cosmetic — a skilled cosmetic dentist will ensure that every addition or alteration creates a perfectly balanced bite and contributes to the health of your mouth. Smile makeovers can fix any problems that may be detrimental to your oral health, as well as adding beautiful touches that will make your smile more appealing to the eye. All in all, smile makeovers results can be a great self-confidence booster and actually encourage you to smile more often!
What issues can be addressed with a smile makeover?
• Crooked teeth can be straightened
• Broken or chipped teeth can be repaired
• Tooth gaps can be filled in with replacement teeth
• Gaps between teeth can be eliminated
• Gum tissue can be minimized and recontoured
• Tooth discoloration can be reversed through whitening
So Many Smile Options
The possibilities are endless. To get an idea of the combination of dental treatments you might need, make a list of the things you dislike about your smile. Think about what qualities you admire in other people’s smiles. It helps if you can go into your smile makeover consultation with some idea of how you would like your final smile to appear. Here are just a few of the smile makeover treatments available at Colonial Dental Group in Chicago, Illinois.
