What You Need to Know about Full Smile Makeovers
A full smile makeover refers to the use of two or more dental treatments to improve the appearance of your teeth. When multiple aesthetic concerns exist, a cosmetic dentist can design literally redesign your smile by offering full or partial treatments that work together for seamless results.

The following treatments are often strategically combined to address damaged teeth for a complete smile transformation.
•Tooth-Colored Fillings – A composite Resin material is used to fill cavities or replace old metal fillings that detract from smiles.
•Professional Teeth Whitening – Available as a chairside service in the dental office or with a custom take-home system that brightens teeth by several shades. Best for external stains that have developed over time.
•Porcelain Veneers – These thin but strong ceramic shells conceal small cracks, chips, permanent discoloration, and mildly misaligned teeth
•Porcelain Crowns – A tooth cap that is crafted to repair badly decayed or otherwise damaged teeth with a functional and life-like replica.
•Fixed Bridges – A tooth replacement that is placed between two healthy adjacent teeth which have been fitted with crowns
•Dental Implants – An advanced tooth replacement method that includes both the visible part of the tooth (as a crown) and an artificial tooth root or implant fixture.
A Personal Approach for the Best Results
By designing a personalized treatment plan, the dentist can maximize your investment and time. If there is any external discoloration, whitening would most likely be the first service you receive to lighten teeth before adding any ceramic restoration which cannot be lightened after it’s placed.
Replacing Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can be replaced either by a fixed bridge or dental implants. While fixed bridges are less expensive than dental implants, they do not address the missing tooth-roots. Dental implants are a comprehensive tooth replacement that also helps preserve the underlying jaw bone.
