Who is a good candidate for a smile makeover?
A smile makeover can be helpful if you want to improve the look of your teeth or if you want several cosmetic or restorative procedures. Dr. Davis will customize your smile makeover treatment to fit your concerns and goals, but it may consist of teeth whitening to correct discoloration and stains on your enamel. Other cosmetic treatments that may be part of your plan are bonding and contouring or veneers to improve the length and shape of your teeth and to cover minor gaps between teeth. Dental restorations (crowns and bridges) may be used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. At Cosmetic Dental Associates, we offer custom-made restorations to ensure they blend with your regular teeth for a seamless look.
Prior to performing any cosmetic procedures, Dr. Davis will have to make certain that your teeth and gums are healthy. If you have any prohibitive oral health problems, such as a dental malocclusion or gum disease, this will have to be treated first.
What Can I Expect During my Cosmetic Dentistry Consultation?
During the consultation, Dr. Davis or Dr. Guerre will explain the recommended procedures for your smile makeover. Using special 3D imaging technology, we can show each patient what the procedures will look like after completing them. Together, you will work closely with Dr. Davis or Dr. Guerre to create a personalized smile makeover treatment plan. Once we have created your smile makeover plan, our friendly staff can schedule your upcoming appointment(s). Sometimes, patients may need help with their overall oral health before receiving cosmetic treatments. We will need to treat gum disease or any cavities before performing your cosmetic procedures.
What happens after my Smile Makeover?
Based on the type of procedure(s), like no-prep veneers, tooth bonding, laser gum sculpting, teeth whitening, or Invisalign, patients receive personalized and detailed aftercare instructions. You should follow a good home oral health care routine that includes brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash to maintain the results of your smile makeover. Additionally, patients should continue to come to the dentist twice a year or more for their regular dental exam and cleaning. Proactive dental care will help keep your smile healthy, luminous, and beautiful.
