If you hate your smile, you're not alone. Many people seek out a dentist to fix imperfections in their smile. Smile makeovers come in a variety of forms, and there are many options to fix the things you hate about your smile. There are several considerations for a smile makeover, but your dentist will find the best options for you during a consultation.
Tooth Discoloration
Tooth discoloration is pretty inevitable. Tooth discoloration comes from years of eating, drinking, coffee, and smoking. Once teeth become yellowed, it's hard to brush away the stains.
Teeth whitening and
porcelain veneers have become the key way to replace old, yellowed teeth. Teeth whitening bleaches away the discoloration. Porcelain veneers are a covering that takes teeth whitening a step further and resists future yellowing, and they remove any gaps or chips in natural teeth.
Alignment and Spacing
Alignment and spacing can be handled with a new age technique called Invisalign, or more generally called invisible braces. This system is similar to conventional braces except it is a clear covering that pulls teeth together. Invisalign is also removable during activities such as sleeping, eating, or any other social engagement.
Chips and Gaps
Some accidents and mishaps can cause chips and gaps. These aren't fixed by simple braces. Porcelain veneers or
dental bonding can fix the chips from broken teeth.
Dental implants fix larger spacing issues created from issues caused by things such as missing teeth or severely broken teeth.
Fuller Lips and a Better Smile
Finally,
cosmetic dentistry for missing or chipped teeth ultimately gives you fuller lips, bigger smile, and a better looking smile overall. See your dentist for the best option that is right for you. Many affordable ways to give you a smile makeover are available. All it takes is one short consultation from a
professional dentist.
