Smile Makeover

    /24-7PressRelease/ - May 25, 2008 - 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!
