Smile Makeover

Many people are not satisfied with the cosmetic condition of their teeth, which includes anything from discolouration to the appearance of the gums. A smile makeover is a combination of procedures in order to achieve the perfect smile wanted by the patient. The concept of a smile makeover varies greatly from individual to individual, since every patient will have different requirements and a different overall condition of the teeth and mouth.

Nowadays, cosmetic dentistry is capable to improve virtually any aspect of dental appearance:

• Orthodontists can straighten crooked teeth using lingual braces, traditional braces or removable aligners and positioners such as Invisalign.

• Dentists can repair chipped, cracked or broken teeth using veneers or crowns, depending on the damage done to the tooth.

• Smile makeovers can also include replacement of missing teeth using dental implants, fixed bridges or dentures. Lost teeth need to be replaced not only for aesthetic reasons, but also for functional purposes.

• Crowding of teeth or gaps between teeth can also be corrected using orthodontic systems, such as conventional, lingual and Damon braces as well as invisible aligners. Moreover, gaps can be fixed instantly by fitting porcelain veneers.

• Misshapen or overgrown dental gums can be altered with simple surgical procedures or laser corrections.

• Professional cleaning and whitening can significantly improve the condition of discoloured or stained teeth.

• Some people can be dissatisfied with wrinkles around the lips or tight lips. These problems can be solved by performing a simple Botox or dermal filler injection.

The cost of a full smile makeover ranges dramatically depending on how many procedures and how much work will be needed, the quality of the materials, the reputation of the clinic and the expertise of the dentist.
