Smile Makeovers

Everyone deserves to have a beautiful, healthy smile that helps them feel great about their appearance and gives their self-confidence a boost.

If your smile doesn't live up to your expectations, you have options that can enhance its appearance and restore its health and vitality. Several aesthetic dental treatments are available that we can use alone or in combination for a true smile transformation.

Improve Your Appearance and Oral Health

An attractive smile helps you feel good about yourself, but did you know that correcting some cosmetic flaws can also enhance your oral health?

One example is crooked teeth that detract from your appearance and contribute to cavities, gum disease, and dental bite problems. In this case, correcting the aesthetic flaw gives your smile an even, uniform look and also contributes to better oral health.

Missing Teeth and Dental Implants

Missing teeth certainly have a negative impact on your appearance, but they can also create serious oral health problems. A dental implant is an effective solution that is actually a complete tooth replacement, and the result is a fully functional, natural-looking tooth.

More importantly, the implant acts as a replacement for the root of the missing tooth. The artificial tooth root prevents deterioration of the jaw bone and shifting of surrounding teeth, which can lead to overcrowding of teeth and alignment issues.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a great choice for correcting a wide variety of cosmetic flaws like chipped, broken, or cracked teeth. Veneers also conceal slightly misaligned and irregularly shaped teeth for a more uniform appearance.

Veneers are made of thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. Porcelain is a naturally translucent material that closely resembles your natural teeth, so they blend beautifully and seamlessly into your smile.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are essential to restorative dentistry. They protect and strengthen a broken or cracked tooth or one compromised by decay. Since modern dental crowns are made of durable materials that resemble real tooth enamel, they reinforce weakened teeth and enhance your smile's appearance.

Many treatment options can help restore your smile to its full beauty and function, but only your dentist can help you decide which will be most effective for you.
