Enhance Your Smile with a Smile Makeover
Gaining a beautiful smile can be life-changing for people who are struggling with severely damaged teeth. Whether you were born with misshapen teeth, have experienced a mouth injury, or have developed oral health problems over time, achieving a healthy, radiant smile is possible with a smile makeover.
Here's what you should know about how a smile makeover could change the appearance of your smile before scheduling a free consultation with the trusted team at Charlotte Dental Implant Center.
What is a Smile Makeover?
Smile makeovers are used to improve the beauty, comfort, and function of a person's damaged smile. They are comprised of several cosmetic and restorative dental treatments that are used to enhance the overall appearance and function of one's teeth. Because no two individuals' teeth are exactly the same, no two smile makeovers will be either. At Charlotte Dental Center, our experienced team will create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique oral health needs and goals.
What Dental Problems Can a Smile Makeover Fix?
Smile makeovers are effective at resolving an array of cosmetic dental concerns, big and small. These include:
Discolored teeth
Crooked or uneven teeth
Missing teeth
Chipped, fractured, or cracked teeth
Gapped teeth
Decayed teeth
Improving your smile with a smile makeover offers many benefits, including:
Enhancing the appearance of your smile
Making it easier to speak, chew, and bite
Boosting self-esteem
Improving oral health
Relieving pain due to damaged teeth
What Treatments Do a Smile Makeover Include?
Before your smile makeover begins, Dr. Rush Sunar will take a close look at the condition of your teeth, gums, and mouth. During this time, it's important to express any concerns you may have about the way your mouth looks, feels, and functions. Based on your oral exam and oral health goals, our doctor will create a customized treatment plan to help you achieve a healthier, more beautiful smile. Some common smile makeover procedures include:
Gum Treatment: Treating periodontal disease with deep dental cleanings and/or gum grafting, if necessary.
Composite Fillings: Treating tooth decay without compromising the natural appearance of your tooth.
Porcelain Crowns: "Caps" are used to cover damaged or weak teeth while improving their natural appearance and protecting them from further damage.
Dental Implants: Titanium posts are inserted into one's jawbone to replace missing teeth, providing a beautiful, convenient, permanent result.
All On Four: an innovative dental implant restoration method that uses just four precisely placed implants to support an entire set of top or bottom teeth.
