While establishing a dedicated home care routine is vital in maintaining oral health, this alone may not be enough to resolve all of your dental concerns. Whether due to inherited factors, unhealthy habits, or an underlying disease process, a smile can have multiple functional and cosmetic imperfections that require comprehensive treatment to correct.
The good news is, there are many ways to improve your teeth in both appearance and health. Collectively known as a full smile makeover, this multifaceted approach enhances how teeth look and feel, leaving patients with a revitalized aesthetic.
Periodontal Treatment
The cosmetic problems you would like to have resolved can’t be addressed without a foundation of good periodontal health.
To improve the state of your gums and combat the effects of periodontal disease, a thorough, yet straightforward procedure known as scaling and root planing can be carried out. This treatment involves removing plaque and tartar both from the teeth’s surface and below the gumline, limiting the spread of infection.
Cosmetic Options
Several different options exist for enhancing the appearance of teeth. These include restorative treatments such as fillings, crowns, bridges, and dental implants, which repair or replace teeth that are damaged or missing. Restorations are matched closely to the color of naturally healthy teeth, and whitening is commonly performed before placement to create an evenly blended smile.
Teeth whitening may also take place at the end of a series of treatments. This option puts the final touches on the cosmetic improvements made throughout care.
Porcelain veneers make a significant improvement in most everyone’s smile and are placed to conceal misaligned, chipped, or misshapen teeth as well as those with uneven spacing.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Invisalign® clear aligners offer a versatile way to have mild-to-moderate alignment and bite problems treated. When teeth are straight, the effects of other treatments, such as whitening and restorations, are enhanced. Invisalign can be a great beginning to the full smile makeover process.
