What, Exactly, is a Smile Makeover?

    ATLANTA, GA, October 03, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A smile makeover is a combination of cosmetic dentistry procedures, carefully selected and customized to work together for your unique dental needs. The end result is a beautiful, flawless smile that is healthy, functional, and comfortable. A smile makeover is the ultimate cosmetic dentistry treatment, and well worth the investment.

When you have a smile makeover, you start with a plan that you and your cosmetic dentist make together. That's what sets it apart from simply having various cosmetic procedures individually over time. In making this plan, you chose procedures that work together and compliment each other, often avoiding extra dental work, saving you time and money.

The goal is to make your smile both beautiful and functional. This ensures long-lasting results and improved overall dental health. The best cosmetic dentists are trained in neuromuscular dentistry, so they not only focus on how your teeth look, but how they work together.

What can a smile makeover correct?

A smile makeover starts out by addressing any problems such as decay and gum disease, corrects the alignment of your bite, and then addresses the look of your smile. Dental flaws that can be corrected with a smile makeover include:

• Chips
• Cracks
• Gaps
• Crooked teeth
• Discolored, dull or stained teeth
• Crowded teeth
• Broken or misshapen teeth
• Replacing metal fillings and crowns

What procedures are involved?

Your cosmetic dentist will assess your overall dental health, the alignment of your bite, and the nature and extent of cosmetic problems. Depending on your unique needs, your smile makeover could include a combination of:

• Tooth whitening
• Tooth straightening
• Porcelain veneers
• Porcelain crowns
• Inlays/onlays
• Enamel contouring
• Gum recontouring
• Dental implants

By making a comprehensive plan, you may choose procedures that solve several problems at once. For instance, if you wish to correct the appearance of crooked teeth and discoloration, you can choose to straighten your teeth with Invisalign and have your teeth whitened, or you may want to go with porcelain veneers which will cover both problems in one simple treatment.

A smile makeover is customized to reach your personal goals, while giving you a uniquely beautiful smile, a smile that is not just perfect, but perfect for you.
