Unhappy With Your Teeth? How A Smile Makeover Will Help

If you're not happy with your smile, it's time for a makeover. You might think that makeovers are only for other parts of your body. That's not the case though. A dentist can give you a complete smile makeover. If you're not sure a makeover will help your smile, read the list provided below. Here are four procedures that will restore your smile. 

Replace Missing Teeth

If you have missing teeth, cosmetic dentistry can help. You can choose between temporary fixes and permanent replacements. Temporary fixes include bridges and partials. These dental appliances get removed at night for cleaning. Permanent replacement includes dental implants.

With dental implants stainless steel posts get implanted into your jaw bone. Then, an artificial tooth gets installed on the post. One of the benefits of a dental implant is that the tooth looks like your real teeth. Your dentist can even match the color so that your implant blends in with the rest of your teeth. 

Remove Deep Stains

If deep stains prevent you from smiling your brightest, a cosmetic makeover can help. You may have tried over-the-counter whitening kits. Unfortunately, those aren't always effective at removing set-in stains. That doesn't mean you should give up on having whiter teeth.

It does mean that you should add whitening treatments to your smile makeover. Professional whitening treatments are effective at removing set-in stains. This includes coffee, tea, and red wine stains. Professional whitening can even remove tobacco stains from your teeth. 

Restore Alignment

If you have crooked teeth, you might think you're too old to have them straightened. That's not the case though. Many people wait until adulthood to have their teeth straightened. If you're worried about bulky braces, don't be. Talk to your cosmetic dentist about invisible braces. These braces don't use brackets or wires to straighten your teeth. They use clear plastic aligners to do the work. That means you can work on your smile makeover without anyone knowing. 

Fix the Defects

If you have cracks and chips in your teeth, you don't need to live with them. There are several cosmetic procedures that will fix the defects. Two of those procedures include overlays and crowns. Veneers are used to repair defects in your front teeth. The veneers get bonded to the surface of the tooth. Best of all, the results look completely natural. 

If you're unhappy with your smile, talk to your dentist about a cosmetic makeover. The procedures described above will restore your confidence, and your smile.
