Smile Makeover - Teeth Whitening, Porcelain Veneers, Dental Implants, Dental Crowns

You may have heard the term “smile makeover” used on TV, in the newspaper, or in a magazine. It may have left you wondering what a smile makeover is and what it can accomplish. It’s actually not as complicated as you may think. In fact, it’s just a sensible solution for a complicated problem, employing different dental care treatments to address different dental care problems. This may include the use of teeth whitening, dental implants (implant dentistry), dental crowns, root canal, and porcelain veneers. The procedure used to treat your mouth will depend on the types of dental problems that you have.

So how exactly does a smile makeover begin? As with any dental treatment, the smile makeover begins with a comprehensive check-up and consultation. During this smile makeover consultation, your dentist will identify various issues that may be affecting your dental health. These may include cavities, tooth decay, gum disease, chips, cracks, gaps, misalignment, staining and yellowing, and the need for extraction.

Once your dental problems have been identified, your dentist will then develop a treatment plan specific to you and your unique dental health and dental care needs. This plan will involve the use of multiple cosmetic dentistry, general dentistry, and restorative dentistry options. If, for instance, your teeth are badly stained and chipped, teeth whitening and porcelain veneers may be used to improve the quality of your smile. If you are missing teeth and have broken teeth, a combination of dental implants and dental crowns or bridgework and dental crowns may be right for you. Even orthodontic treatment may be considered.

The benefits of a smile makeover are twofold. First, the appearance of your smile will be greatly improved and you will not feel self-conscious about opening your mouth or smiling while in the company of others. Second, though, and just as important, the health and functionality of your mouth and teeth will be restored.

To get a consultation for a smile makeover, it is important to speak with a skilled cosmetic dentist about your dental health concerns. We encourage you to visit our Knoxville, Tennessee cosmetic dentistry office.
