Smile Makeover
Dallas, TX - Cosmetic dentistry addresses many issues with patient’s teeth on an individual tooth by tooth basis and can improve the look and shape of these teeth dramatically. Another aspect of a person’s mouth that cosmetic dentistry can correct is the overall appearance of your smile. This is the one thing that everyone sees on a regular basis and there can be many aspects of your smile that can be improved. Some of these include the shape and color of your teeth as well as repairing any cracks, chips or gaps in your smile. All of these issues can be addressed with a smile makeover and will involve various cosmetic dentistry procedures to complete.
The first thing your cosmetic dentist will do when you are considering a smile makeover is to perform a complete examination of your mouth and then have a consultation with you to determine what changes you think are needed for your smile. He will also suggest changes based on a number of factors and will explain the procedures involved with implementing these changes. When he makes these suggestions he will take into account the shape of your face, color of your hair, skin pigment, size of your smile and a host of other criteria to determine the perfect smile for you. There are certain clinical standards that he can apply to your mouth to make these suggestions and once you have settled on the needed changes, he can start the procedures.
Depending on the type and amount of work needed, this can be a fairly quick and painless process. Many of the dental changes you’ll need for your smile makeover will involve minor cosmetic procedures like dental bonding and veneers. Both of these are done in the office and are fairly painless. They are added to your existing teeth and can have a dramatic impact on the shape and color of the teeth they are applied to.
Another procedures he may employ is gum shaping and this may be needed if you have gums that extend down lower on your teeth. This can be a result of improper flossing and will give your smile a “gummy” appearance and make your teeth seem shorter than normal. Your cosmetic dentist can reduce the depth of your gum and allow more of the tooth to be seen which will improve the balance of your smile.
A major consideration in a smile makeover is your smile line. This is an imaginary line that roughly follows the bottom of your upper teeth and is the area most people focus on when viewing your smile. This line should closely mimic your lip line and if there are some teeth that protrude lower than others they can interrupt this smile line. To repair this, your cosmetic dentist can do some tooth shaping that may involve veneers and some dental bonding to correct this smile line.
When considering a smile makeover, be sure to find a cosmetic dentist that you are happy with. This process can be done over time and you have the ultimate choice on what type of changes you want to make to your smile.
