Smile Makeover we develop a treatment plan customized to meet your esthetic goals. In this treatment plan which consist of many cosmetic and functionally restorative procedures, potentially including teeth whitening, bonding, veneers, dental crowns, orthodontics, oral maxillofacial surgery, and gummy smile reduction.

Smile Makeover involves consideration of your facial appearance, skin tone, hair color, teeth, gum tissue, and lips to develop a customized smile. The resulting improvements are as follows:

• Optimal Tooth Color: Silver or amalgam dental fillings can be replaced with natural, tooth-colored composite restorations and teeth whitening can improve the color of stained teeth. Tooth color and shading are important considerations during the evaluation of and preparation for various procedures, includingporcelain veneers and dental implants.
• Aligned for Success: Crooked, overlapping, or gapping teeth can be straightened when necessary through orthodontics and improved with veneers.
• A Full Set: Missing teeth can be replaced by dental implants,bridges, or partial dentures.
• Contoured for Look: Uneven teeth can be bonded for improved appearance. Gummy smiles can be re-contoured to help improve the overall look of the smile.
• Full Face Effect: An unshapely or aging face can be improved or rejuvenated with certain procedures in the Smile Makeover category, including orthodontics and/or oral maxillofacial surgery.

Smile Makeover procedures may require maintenance over time. Teeth whitening must be repeated on occasion in order to maintain brightness. Porcelain veneers may chip or break off which need replacement. Permanent bondings may stain and require enhancement or replacement. Dental crowns typically require replacement after 10 – 15 years. Gummy smile improvements may also require enhancement over time.

Smile Makeovers are performed for many reasons and are customized according to your unique considerations. What do you like or not like about your smile or your teeth? We work closely with you to develop a treatment plan designed to achieve exactly what you want out of your makeover. Two of the more common considerations in treatment planning incorporate teeth length and tooth form.

Teeth Length

• Aging produces wear and tear that often results in shorter teeth.
• A gummy smile can make teeth appear shorter.
• Long teeth lend a youthful appearance.

Smile Makeover treatment for shorter teeth may include reshaping and lengthening the front central teeth through bonding or veneers. If you have a gummy smile, we have to provide treatment to modify the gum line and lengthen the appearance of the teeth. Teeth lengthening may also impact overall facial appearance. For example, shapely, long, square teeth on a round-faced individual can provide a slimming effect for the face.

Tooth Form

• Dark, stained, chipped, worn out and missing teeth suggest an aged mouth.
• A well-shaped smile comprised of bright, white teeth lends to a youthful appearance.

This treatment for discolored, misshapen, or missing teeth may include restorative procedures such as teeth whitening,implants, crowns, or veneers. The shade you select for teeth whitening and veneers is carefully evaluated with special consideration given to the tone and color of your face and hair. Esthetic bonding or veneers may improve chipped and worn-out teeth, while dental implants replace missing teeth. All of these procedures help you maintain a youthful appearance.
