What Does a Smile Makeover Entail

Being unhappy with your teeth can directly impact your self-confidence. Achieving a smile you can proudly show off can boost your emotional and social life. Read on to learn what a smile makeover can do for you.

Naturally straight, white teeth are rather rare. Most people achieve a perfect smile through modern dentistry. Over 4 million people in the United States have braces, and 25% of those people are adults. You’re never too old to begin working toward more aesthetically pleasing teeth.

Braces aren’t the only solution, though. Dr. Ginger Rome, Dr. Maurina Brooks, and our team at The Dentists at North Cypress in Houston, Texas, offer customized smile makeovers to help you pick and choose the dental procedures that can benefit your look and self-confidence. This includes everything from professional teeth whitening and veneers to repairing or replacing damaged teeth.

What is a smile makeover?

Cosmetic dentistry is a specialty focused on improving the appearance of your teeth and your mouth. With a smile makeover, your dentist combines cosmetic dentistry with restorative treatments such as dental implants for missing teeth or crowns to protect a tooth. Some of the procedures we can perform to give you that great smile include:

Veneers

Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are permanently affixed to the fronts of your teeth. They can correct the appearance of crooked, gapped, irregular, or discolored teeth, which drastically improves the look of your smile.

Teeth whitening

Some foods and beverages like berries, red wine, and coffee, stain your teeth, and teeth do yellow naturally with age. If you’re happy with the shape of your teeth but not their color, professional in-office teeth whitening eliminates stains and brightens your teeth. We help you select a shade before your treatment to give you a natural-looking smile you’ll love.

Crowns

Dental crowns are caps that cover the entire surface of a tooth. They strengthen teeth that have cracks or decay and also cover discolored teeth. The crowns used in smile makeovers are also designed to match your natural teeth.

Dental implants

People with missing teeth often avoid smiling due to a gapped grin. If you have missing teeth, you may include dental implants as part of your smile makeover. Implants are permanent replacement teeth that fuse with your jawbone and look and function just like natural teeth. This not only improves your smile, but prevents bone loss and allows you to chew and bite more effectively.

The benefits of a smile makeover

A smile makeover doesn’t just fix the appearance of your teeth. Implants and crowns serve a functional purpose and improve your teeth for the better. Along with functionality, the emotional benefits of a smile makeover are numerous. When you’re happy with your smile, you’re more likely to:

Care for your teeth to maintain their appearance
Pose for photos
Laugh and smile with friends
Attend social events and go on dates
Make good impressions
Feel more self-confident

Your smile is as unique as your personality. That’s why we customize every smile makeover for the individual. A full-mouth reconstruction might take a few visits, but before long, you can have the smile you always dreamed of.
