With all of the advancements in cosmetic dentistry, it is possible to get a complete smile makeover, with porcelain veneers and various other cosmetic and restorative treatments. With whiter, straighter, cleaner teeth, a smile can be a thing of beauty, and produce a dramatic and positive change in a person's appearance. Typically, a patient who is interested in a complete smile makeover will have a consultation with a dentist first, in order to evaluate the current state of the patient's teeth, and to determine an effective course of action. At this time, the dentist may also look at problems with cavities, gums, bite and issues below the gum line as well. If there is restorative dental work to be done, this will most likely be incorporated into the treatment that is prescribed by the cosmetic dentist. One of the benefits of the complete smile makeover procedure is a potentially significant savings in terms of both time and money. A comprehensive treatment plan can be mapped out all at once by the cosmetic dentist, which will alleviate any redundant procedures. This method will also ensure that whatever work is done will cover the most positive ground in terms of adding beauty and functionality to the patient's teeth. Further, the patient will know that the most cost effective measures were taken in order to accomplish whatever goals are agreed upon in the initial consultation. Nothing will be done twice, nor will steps be taken out of order. Patients may also be able to have the entire smile makeover done in a few short visits, rather than dragging the work out over an intensive and long schedule. Lastly, the complete smile makeover gives the dentist the opportunity to incorporate the new dental work fully, matching the color from tooth to tooth, and from new dental work to existing natural teeth. With this added benefit, the smile is guaranteed to be uniform in brightness, whiteness and alignment. During the treatment process, the dentist may opt to use porcelain veneers, tooth whitening methods, porcelain crowns, inlays or onlays, orthodontic realignment of the teeth and to deal with issues pertaining to TMJ problems, which affect the jaw. The cosmetic dentist will restore whiteness to discolored teeth, and completeness to chipped and cracked teeth, enhancing the overall appearance of a patient's smile.
