What Is a Smile Makeover?
Our experienced team of dental professionals wants nothing more than to transform your smile into the smile of your dreams. A smile makeover is a combination of dental treatments to improve and enhance the aesthetics of your smile. If your teeth are chipped or broken, uneven or misshapen, discolored or decayed, a full smile makeover may be an excellent option. Smile makeovers focus mainly on cosmetic treatments to boost your confidence and allow you to enjoy life.
However, your full smile makeover may help more than your appearance. Certain treatments may also help you speak and eat more efficiently, as well as reduce the wear and tear on your teeth and correct your bite.
What Aesthetic Cosmetic Options Are Available for a Smile Makeover?
In our Centennial, CO, office, we are proud to offer the following treatments to help you achieve your best smile:
Teeth whitening – We offer both in-office and take-home whitening kits to fit the needs of our patients. Our in-office whitening treatment is best if you have limited time to whiten your teeth; maybe you have a special event coming up and want to look your best. We can make your teeth several shades whiter in a short period. If you prefer, our customized take-home whitening kits let you control when you whiten your teeth. We will make impressions of your teeth so that your whitening trays will fit your teeth perfectly. You will leave the office with professional-strength whitening gel, custom trays, and detailed instructions. Of course, we will be available if you have any questions.
Dental crowns – If you have a large cavity or have had a root canal on a tooth or a dental bridge or implant requiring a dental crown, we use CEREC technology to create and place your dental crown in one appointment. We can take digital impressions, create a 3-D model of your tooth, and mill your new dental crown in our office. Once your crown is placed, we can make adjustments to ensure a proper fit.
Porcelain veneers – We use porcelain veneers to cover tooth imperfections and help you love your smile again. Veneers are a thin porcelain shell covering the front side of your tooth; once we take impressions of your teeth and choose the appropriate veneer color to match your natural teeth, a dental lab will create your veneers so we can place them on your teeth.
Dental bonding – If you have a tooth that is chipped, cracked, or broken, dental bonding can help repair it and give you the look you want. Dental bonding can also be used if your teeth are discolored or gapped. Once you have chosen a composite resin color, your dentist will prepare your tooth and apply a bonding agent before adding the composite resin to your tooth.
How Long Does a Smile Makeover Take?
Depending on your individual treatment plan, your full smile makeover timeline will vary. The timeframe for each of the following procedures is as follows:
Professional teeth whitening: If you choose our in-office teeth whitening, you can expect to spend an hour with us for a teeth whitening session. Our take-home whitening kit recommends spending twenty to thirty minutes daily for two weeks to achieve your desired results.
Dental crowns: With CEREC same-day crowns, you can have the look and feel of a new tooth in one office visit. Many dentists require two or three separate visits for dental crowns, but the CEREC technology will get you back to your busy life much more quickly.
Porcelain veneers: Our dental veneer process typically takes two visits to our office. During the first visit, we will prepare your teeth and take impressions. Then you will return to our office to have your veneers bonded to your natural teeth.
Dental bonding: Dental bonding is a relatively quick process that can be completed in one visit to your dentist’s office.
