What Can a Smile Makeover Do for Me?
The beauty of a smile makeover is that it can address several aspects of your smile at once, including:
- Crooked, misaligned or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Worn, short or irregularly shaped teeth
- Stained or darkened teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
Overall, this procedure can help you achieve a brand-new smile that highlights all of your unique features! During your consultation, you’ll discover how this treatment can help you not just look your best, but also feel your best.
If you’re dealing with any restorative dental needs, like missing teeth, Dr. Weiss will work closely with you to provide available treatment options to establish a state of good oral health before you receive cosmetic work.
Personalized Care
Along with a thorough examination, Dr. Weiss will use your personal preferences, digital imaging, and X-rays to create a comprehensive treatment plan to help you achieve your smile goals.
Our team uses a wax-up (a model of what your smile will look like post-treatment) to provide a clear idea of the results you can expect to achieve.
A smile makeover at our dental clinic typically consists of one or more of our cosmetic services.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I choose the right cosmetic dentistry treatments for my smile makeover?
The guidance of a dentist is crucial for selecting the right cosmetic dentistry treatments for your smile makeover. By learning your goals, preferences, and concerns, your dentist can create a personalized treatment plan that enhances your smile and boosts your confidence.
-
Can a smile makeover correct bite alignment issues?
Yes, a smile makeover can potentially address bite alignment issues. While the primary focus of a smile makeover is to enhance the appearance of the smile, certain cosmetic dentistry treatments can also help correct bite alignment problems.
Common cosmetic dentistry options for correcting bite alignment issues include orthodontic treatments, porcelain veneers, crowns, and dental implants.
It’s important to note that not all bite alignment issues can be fully corrected with cosmetic dentistry alone. Complex cases may require collaboration with an orthodontist or oral surgeon to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns.
-
How many appointments are typically needed for a smile makeover?
The number of appointments needed for a smile makeover can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of your case, the specific treatments involved, and your individual treatment plan. Some procedures may be completed in a single appointment, while others may require multiple visits over a period of weeks or months.
While it’s best to consult with your dentist to get an accurate estimate, here’s a general overview: initial consultation, preparatory appointments, treatment appointments, and follow-up appointments. The duration between appointments can also vary depending on the specific treatments involved.
-
Can a smile makeover improve my oral health as well?
Yes, a smile makeover can enhance your oral health while also improving the appearance of your smile. Many cosmetic dentistry procedures included in a smile makeover provide functional benefits and contribute to better oral health. A smile makeover may address issues like tooth decay and damage, gum disease, missing teeth, and bite alignment. Addressing these types of problems can have a significant positive affect on your oral health.
Cosmetic Dentistry from Dr. Weiss
By combining any number of our cosmetic dentistry services, Dr. Sol Weiss can help patients achieve the smiles they have always dreamed of having.
Our Cosmetic Services
Invisalign
As an alternative to traditional metal braces, Invisalign uses a set of clear, removable plastic aligners to gently and effectively straighten teeth. The treatment duration is generally similar to that of traditional braces.
Teeth Whitening
Our Zoom!™ In-Office Whitening System can dramatically brighten dull teeth in about an hour. We also offer take-home teeth whitening kits for patients who prefer to brighten their teeth from the comfort of their own homes.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers can be used to address a variety of dental issues, but they are primarily used to conceal minor tooth imperfections and create an appearance of symmetry and uniformity.
Gum Contouring
This procedure is used to change the appearance of a 'gummy smile'. Gum reshaping will gently and permanently remove excess gum tissue to reveal a more attractive gum-to-tooth ratio.
Dental Crowns
Along with fulfilling restorative dental care needs like replacing and strengthening teeth, custom dental crowns may be used to enhance the overall appearance of some teeth.
Dental Bonding
A more conservative alternative to porcelain veneers, dental bonding may be used to fill minor chips and cracks, lengthen short teeth and fill gaps between the teeth.
