Smile Makeover: The Ultimate in Cosmetic Dentistry

To complete your Smile Makeover, we will develop a comprehensive treatment plan customized to meet your esthetic goals. This treatment plan may consist of many cosmetic and functionally restorative procedures, potentially including teeth whitening, bonding, veneers, dental crowns, orthodontics, oral maxillofacial surgery, and gummy smile reduction.

Oral Health Evaluation

Your oral health must be evaluated prior to treatment planning. If your evaluation reveals that you have oral conditions such as a misaligned bite (malocclusion) or gum disease, you will need to undergo restorative treatment prior to your Smile Makeover. Since this treatment often involves most or all of the teeth, it is called a full mouth reconstruction. Although full mouth reconstruction may take more time, patients are usually very pleased with the resulting transformation.

Smile Makeover: What's Involved?

A Smile Makeover involves consideration of your facial appearance, skin tone, hair color, teeth, gum tissue, and lips to develop a customized smile. The resulting improvements are as follows:

• Optimal Tooth Color: Silver or amalgam dental fillings can be replaced with natural, tooth-colored composite restorations and teeth whitening can improve the color of stained teeth. Tooth color and shading are important considerations during the evaluation of and preparation for various procedures, including porcelain veneers and dental implants.
• Aligned for Success: Crooked, overlapping, or gapping teeth can be straightened when necessary through orthodontics and improved with veneers.
• A Full Set: Missing teeth can be replaced by dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures.
• Contoured for Look: Uneven teeth can be bonded for improved appearance. Gummy smiles can be re-contoured to help improve the overall look of the smile.
• The Full Face Effect: An unshapely or aging face can be improved or rejuvenated with certain procedures in the Smile Makeover category, including orthodontics and/or oral maxillofacial surgery.

Smile Makeover Preview

An integral part of a Smile Makeover process is the preview of potential results you receive before treatment begins. Before and after photos of other patients who have had Smile Makeovers offer samples of the results you may expect to see. The photos may also give you an idea of the quality of work performed by Dr. Dolby.
