If you're living with several smile concerns, it can feel overwhelming to know where to start with repairs. The good news is that a full smile makeover addresses concerns beyond aesthetics, including bite and chewing function. Here's what you should know.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a highly personalised treatment plan that transforms your smile by combining cosmetic dental treatments to address multiple concerns at once, rather than one tooth or issue at a time. It's a good way to address several concerns and restore your smile to good health.
Many patients break a smile makeover into phases to better fit their busy schedules and budgets.
Treatments Often Combined in a Smile Makeover
When you have multiple smile concerns, it may take several procedures to achieve your smile goals. Here are some of the treatment procedures that our dentists may recommend for a smile makeover:
- Clear Aligners
- Teeth Whitening (Pola take-home and in-chair)
- Composite and Porcelain Veneers
- Crowns and Tooth-Coloured Restorations
- Dental Implants
- All-on-X Teeth Replacement
- Root Canal Treatment
- Tooth Extraction
Why Does the Order of Treatment Matter?
First, we focus on good oral health. This may mean periodontal treatment for patients with gum disease, since future restorations need a healthy foundation.
Tooth and bite alignment also matters. For example, if tooth alignment is a concern, we start with oral health, then align your teeth and bite with clear aligners, do professional teeth whitening to achieve the right shade, and finally place veneers or crowns matched to that shade to restore your teeth.
How Can I Get Started?
