Thinking About a Smile Makeover? What to Expect
One of the first things people notice about you is your smile. Why not show them something wonderful they won’t soon forget?
A smile makeover not only rebuilds a less-than-perfect smile, but it also boosts confidence. Cosmetic dentistry addresses problems such as missing, crooked, and stained teeth. It helps restore gaps and repair chipped, cracked teeth through a variety of procedures.
Our experienced team at Smile Bright Dental in Tampa and New Port Richey, Florida, offers cosmetic dentistry to help make your future even brighter.
Illuminate your smile
During the holidays and beyond, a beautiful smile helps make people more confident and comfortable. If you feel hesitant to show off your less-than-pearly whites, consider a smile makeover.
Combining several dental treatments, a makeover enhances your look and improves your confidence. It may include:
Dental veneers
Custom-made, extremely thin shells constructed from porcelain or composite material are bound to the front of your teeth. They discreetly cover gaps and other unsightly issues, such as discoloration and worn-down enamel.
Dental bonding
This process restores imperfections, such as chips or cracks, with a bonding material that blends seamlessly with the front of your teeth. It’s secured with UV light.
Tooth whitening
One of the most common dental procedures, professional whitening works in less than an hour. Our team also offers custom trays filled with whitening gel that enable you to whiten at home.
Dental implant restorations
Replace missing or damaged teeth with dental implants. Titanium or zirconia posts are capped with perfectly sculpted porcelain teeth to complete your picture-perfect smile.
We address crooked, overlapping teeth and gaps through a variety of means, such as Invisalign®, which adjusts misaligned teeth with clear aligners.
Your smile makeover starts here
We begin by assessing your dental issues. To decide on a plan, our team:
- Evaluates the health of your teeth and gums
- Takes digital X-rays and/or photos
- Considers the current alignment of your teeth
- Reviews the color and size of each tooth
- Checks the health and appearance of your gums
Your provider discusses how various procedures complement your overall goals.
Cosmetic options
If you’re teeth are missing or damaged, you have several options to repair your smile, such as:
- Dental implants
- Crowns
- Bridges
- Partial dentures
Our team helps you pinpoint the best choices for your particular issues. We also consider your upper smile line, which should match the curvature of your lower lip, and the tooth length that looks best.
How to maintain your new smile
Your smile makeover is only the first step. Dr. Rostami suggests you:
- Brush regularly with non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste
- Floss nightly and after meals to keep your gums healthy
- Avoid mouthwash containing alcohol, which is drying and degrades bonding materials
- Limit sugary foods and drinks to prevent cavities
- Reduce coffee and tea that may stain your teeth
If you grind your teeth while you sleep, consider a night guard. We also recommend regular cleanings and yearly dental exams to help maintain the look and health of your smile.
Start the New Year right
If you’re less than thrilled with the current shape of your teeth, a smile makeover may be just what the doctor ordered. To schedule a visit with our team, give us a call today or book online anytime.
