A smile makeover: Are veneers my only option?

A smile makeover is a term that refers to a combination of cosmetic dentistry procedures that address various issues with your smile. The procedures chosen depend upon your personal goals and what you’d like your teeth to look like after treatment. Your dentist can help assemble a personalized treatment schedule to give you the smile you’ve always wanted.

Options for a Smile Makeover

If you wish to have a smile makeover, the first thing you’ll do is consult with your dentist. You’ll talk about what you’d like to change about your smile and then discuss what the most effective approach would be to accomplish those goals. Some of the procedures often included in a smile makeover are:

  • Teeth whitening
  • Porcelain veneers
  • Inlays or onlays
  • Tooth-colored crowns or fillings
  • Invisalign
  • Gum Contouring
  • Dental implants

These procedures can correct problems ranging from minor stains to missing teeth, giving you a smile you can be proud of.

After you’ve decided how your makeover will proceed, you’ll schedule appointments. Another advantage to this approach is that you can often combine two or more procedures into one visit to your dentist, reducing the time it takes to create your perfect smile.

Why Get a Smile Makeover?

Your smile is one of the most important tools you have to make a first impression. If you don’t feel confident about your teeth, it can have a negative impact on how you present yourself to people. It can also affect your quality of life if you are constantly self-conscious or nervous about showing your smile.

A smile makeover can eliminate this problem, giving you a smile you’re happy to show off. Whether you have missing teeth, severe staining, misaligned teeth or gaps, a smile makeover could be the answer to your best smile yet.
