There are a number of treatments that can address cosmetic dental concerns. Single treatments can help patients regain confidence when only one problem exists, but if there are a combination of dental issues, an efficient, multi-faceted approach can completely transform your smile.
A Full Smile Makeover: Complementary Cosmetic Dental Procedures
When dentists perform two or more customized cosmetic dental treatments, the service is often referred to as a full smile makeover. Some of the treatments that can be combined to deliver the aesthetics you desire may include the following:
- Teeth Whitening - For teeth that have become stained over the years due to the consumption of dark beverages and foods such as coffee, tea, wine, and berries, or the use of tobacco products, teeth whitening can brighten your teeth by many shades.
- Veneers - By concealing minor imperfections like chips, superficial cracks, small gaps, and permanent discoloration, veneers can completely renew teeth that are damaged.
- Crowns – When a tooth has been damaged due to deep decay or injury, a crown is used to seal, protect, and replicate the once healthy tooth.
- Clear (Invisible) Braces - Teeth that are misaligned can benefit from clear braces or aligners that are virtually invisible. These aligners can also be used with professional take-home whitener at the end of treatment for a straight, uniformly bright smile.
- Bridges – To replace a missing tooth, a traditional bridge is often used to fill the gap. This replacement method relies on healthy adjacent teeth to be crowned and uses as anchors for the replacement tooth.
Veneers, crowns, and other prosthetics cannot be whitened. Because of this, many cosmetic dental patients opt to have their smile whitened before receiving these treatments. When professional whitening is combined with the placement of prosthetics shade-matching them with your lighter teeth results in a restored smile that is functional and beautiful.
A Complete Way of Replacing Teeth as Part of a Full Smile Makeover
A traditional bridge provides function and aesthetics as well as being an affordable choice. Dental implant restorations go further to replace missing teeth from the root up and are the healthiest option. Beyond cosmetic dental care, this treatment restores full dental function and provides a permanent solution for missing teeth that looks and feels natural.
