What is a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover is when a cosmetic dentist creates a treatment plan that involves several cosmetic dentistry procedures to improve the esthetic appearance of your smile.

A smile makeover can get you the smile you have always desired.

Some of the more common cosmetic dentistry procedures involved in smile makeovers include the following changes:

• Teeth length
• Teeth proportions
• Teeth Color
• Smile line

Other factors that consider during your smile makeover include skin tone, facial appearance, hair color, tooth shade, size, and shape, gingival tissue, and lips. 

Initial smile makeover consultation

The first part of any smile makeover treatment is the initial cosmetic dentistry consultation. During this appointment, your cosmetic dentist will perform a thorough examination to determine your oral health and plan what sort of dentistry will be required to achieve the desired smile.

If any oral health concerns are present, they will need to be addressed before any cosmetic dentistry treatment can start. During this time, you will also discuss your goals and expected results for your new smile. Your dentist will take detailed impressions of your smile, and your dentist will then create a preview of the desired smile.

A preview is an “after” photogenerated using a variety of technologies by your dentist. This can include the following:

• Smile imaging software
• Use of dental composite bonding for a smile mockup
• Dental study models
• Before and after photos of patients who underwent smile makeovers previously

Your final smile will likely look similar to the mockup image after the completion of a smile makeover.

Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment For Smile Design In Las Vegas NV

Some of the dental services that can help with smile makeovers include:

Porcelain Crowns (Metal Free Crowns)

This is a type of dental crown that will give the cosmetic appearance most patients are looking for but also give the strength and stability to be functional. Where teeth grinding is a problem, your cosmetic dentist will use a specialized dental crown called a Bruxzir crown.

When designed properly, a patient will begin to see an immediate improvement in their bite as well in the esthetic appearance in the skin around the face, as wrinkles will soften due to a fuller smile. Porcelain crowns can also be used as a final dental care restoration over dental implants in smile makeovers.

Porcelain Veneers

Ideal dental care procedure for use in smile makeover cases. A hallmark treatment of cosmetic dentistry but used in addition to porcelain crowns to lengthen and restore the length of front teeth to their original dimensions. Often called “instant orthodontics” in smile design discussion, porcelain veneers give the dentist the ability to change the alignment of teeth if the alignment issues are not too extreme.

Veneers are far less invasive and a more conservative treatment than porcelain crowns. For teeth that do not require a full-coverage crown, porcelain veneers are an ideal cosmetic dentistry tool to adequately lengthen and reshape, and alter the color of your smile.

Orthodontics Including Invisalign

Can be limited or full orthodontics treatment. Comprehensive orthodontic dental care treatment may be necessary to remove any bite issues that can cause added stress or trauma to the teeth before new restorations are placed. This can include Invisalign clear aligners. Often in planning smile makeovers, orthodontics is the first choice for restoring a misaligned smile.

Dental Bonding or Tooth Bonding

It may be used to restore any teeth that have been damaged by tooth decay, staining, or even wear to the edges. Dental bonding is a cosmetically pleasing smile makeover option that will look very natural when completed and, if designed properly, match the rest of your beautiful smile.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are the ideal solution to replacing a lost single tooth or multiple teeth. Dental implants are highly effective and safe for all patients. Choose an experienced implant dentist like Marielaina Perrone DDS.

Facial Asymmetry

In many of us, the muscles of the face may be asymmetrical, leading to an imbalanced look to the face, which, if not properly planned for, would give us a deficient smile design. Botox is a new treatment option in smile design for many cosmetic dentists.

Botox, when used properly in smile design, can restore facial symmetry by balancing the facial muscles. Eyebrow lift or depression of the brow can be enhanced with properly placed botox injections or dermal fillers (like Juvederm).

Gummy Smile

This is when a person has a smile that shows too much gum tissue. This usually results from the lip rising too high when smiling. Injecting Botox into the upper lip weakens the retractor muscles of the upper lip so that it won’t rise as high, and your smile will appear better balanced. Also called gum recontouring or gum lift to remove excessive gum tissues.

Crown Lengthening

A dental surgical procedure to expose more tooth structure so that there is enough room to properly place a crown. This is often necessary for patients with severe teeth grinding issues. This is an example where a good smile design will foresee these issues in advance.

Gum Tissue and Bone Grafting and Recontouring

Lost bone and gum tissue can often time be grafted to help regrow them. They can also be reshaped surgically to be healthier, easier to keep clean, and more cosmetically appealing.

Teeth Whitening

Many of our worn teeth are also dark and discolored. The color you desire to reach may require a dental teeth whitening process or simply a whiter color bonding restoration or a whiter colored porcelain restoration.

Smile Design Las Vegas Conclusion

Smile design is just a fancy term for planning out treatment in advance to achieve the goals the patient has in mind. This takes effort and communication of all aspects of your dental team, not only the dentist. Poorly planned smile makeovers will leave poor results, but well-planned smile makeovers can give you a smile you always dreamed of and more!”.
