How to Know if You Need a Smile Makeover

In short, if you’re unhappy with any aspect of your smile, you can benefit from a smile makeover. Your smile makeover will be as unique as you are. Dr. Wright will work with you to design a one-of-a-kind treatment plan that considers many factors. During your initial consultation, the team will inquire about the concerns you wish to address.

Issues You Can Fix with a Smile Makeover

The sky is the limit when it comes to a smile makeover. Depending on your needs and budget, you can choose one treatment or multiple treatments. Issues can include one or more of these: 

• Gaps between teeth: Veneers or bonding can cover up spaces or gaps between your teeth. Orthodontic treatment can also help with more extensive issues. 
• Stained or yellow teeth: Over time, our teeth become stained by the foods and beverages we consume, including dark berries, red wine, tomatoes, coffee, tea, and foods with dyes. Also, smoking and tobacco use stains teeth. 
• Missing teeth: If you’ve lost one or more teeth, you may be a candidate for dental implants or a dental bridge. 
• Crooked teeth: If you need teeth straightening, your dentist may suggest braces or clear aligners. 
• Cracked, chipped, or fractured teeth: These issues can be fixed with porcelain veneers or dental composite. More severe cracks and fractures need to be fixed using crowns that can restore an affected tooth’s strength. 
• Short or misshapen teeth: Teeth that are short or oddly shaped can be camouflaged using veneers or composite bonding.

Smile Makeover vs. Full Mouth Dental Reconstruction

It’s easy to confuse a full-mouth dental restoration with a smile makeover. While a smile makeover concerns cosmetic fixes, full-mouth dental reconstruction involves treatment like root canals or tooth extraction. Note that a full reconstruction may also include dental implants, bridges to replace missing teeth, crowns for fixing structural flaws, and veneers, but reconstruction is more involved with fixing problems before addressing cosmetic issues. 

Treatments for a Smile Makeover

To fix any of the issues above, Dr. Wright will use a variety of treatments, including

• Dental veneers
• Professional teeth whitening
• Dental implants
• Orthodontic recommendations
• Bridges or crowns
• Composite bonding
