It will help you to gain confidence and allow you to be comfortable with your smile.

Your smile is one of the first things people notice when meeting you for the first time, and it says so much about your health, personality, and disposition. With a great smile, you look good and feel good at any age. Our teeth have such an important role to play in our lives. They help us chew and digest food, they help us to talk and speak clearly and they also give our face its shape. A healthy smile can be a great asset. It can give us greater confidence, as well as influence our social lives, careers, and relationships. Because of this, it only makes sense to give our oral health the best care possible.

I have been a patient of DPB for more than 10 years, and I’ve always received the most professional service I could ask for. I have trusted them with my periodontal issues and thanks to them, I am a healthy patient who can’t be more satisfied with their excellent expertise.

Procedures to Improve Your Smile

What is it that you like or dislike about your smile or your teeth? Some aspects of your smile that we review with you during your consultation include:

Tooth Color

Silver or amalgam dental fillings can be replaced with natural, tooth-colored composite restorations, while teeth whitening can improve the color of stained or dulled teeth. Tooth color and shading are important considerations during the evaluation of and preparation for various procedures, including porcelain veneers, crowns, bridges, composite bonding, and dental implants.

When considering the color of your teeth, keep in mind that dark or discolored teeth may suggest an aged mouth. A well-shaped smile comprised of bright, white teeth lends to a youthful appearance. The shade we select for teeth whitening and veneers is carefully evaluated with special consideration given to the tone and color of your face and hair. We are skilled at finding the right balance between providing you with a brighter, whiter smile and maintaining a natural tooth color.

Alignment and Spacing

Teeth that are crooked, overlapping, or have gaps between them can be straightened and aligned when necessary through orthodontics or Invisalign and improved with veneers.

Missing Teeth

One or more missing teeth can negatively affect the appearance of your smile as well as affect your bite and increase your risk for tooth decay, making replacement an important part of oral health and facial esthetics. Missing teeth can be replaced by dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures.

Harmony and Balance

Uneven, chipped, and cracked teeth can be cosmetically bonded for an improved appearance, and a gummy smile can be re-contoured to help improve the overall look of the smile.

Our cosmetic dentists work closely with you to develop a treatment plan designed to achieve exactly what you want from your complete smile makeover. This treatment plan may consist of many cosmetic and functionally restorative procedures. Potentially, it may include teeth whitening, composite bonding, veneers, dental crowns, orthodontics (braces or Invisalign), oral maxillofacial surgery, and gummy smile reduction.

AESTHETIC COMPONENTS OF A SMILE MAKEOVER

In addition to the color, alignment, and balance of your teeth in the aesthetic zone of your smile (the section of upper and lower teeth that show when you smile), there are several attributes of your teeth and smile that we will evaluate with you when planning your makeover. These can include:

Tooth Length

Long teeth lend a youthful appearance. Aging produces wear and tear that often results in shorter teeth, and a gummy smile also can make teeth appear shorter. A treatment for shorter teeth may include reshaping and lengthening the two front central teeth with porcelain veneers. Teeth lengthening may also impact your overall facial appearance.

Smile Line

The smile line is an imaginary line that follows the edges of your upper teeth from side to side, which ideally should be the same as the curve of your lower lip when you smile. This standard point of reference may be used to help determine how long your new teeth should be.

Tooth Proportions

We will examine your teeth to determine if they are in the correct proportion with each other. Most people recognize a pleasing smile as one in which the two central front teeth are dominant and have a width-to-length ratio of 4-to-5. This proportion guides the length and width of other teeth in the aesthetic zone so that the smile line appears balanced.

Tooth Texture and Characterization

We can characterize your crowns or veneers to create a more feminine or masculine appearance, in addition to matching the look and feel of natural teeth.

MAINTAINING THE RESULTS OF YOUR COMPLETE SMILE MAKEOVER

Knowing how to modify your oral hygiene habits to best care for your restorations will help you maintain your new smile for years to come.

Brush and Floss

Highly abrasive toothpaste and toothbrushing habits can scratch the surface of restorations, dulling their polish and luster. We recommend non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste. Brush two times each day for maximum effectiveness.

Flossing is a key factor in removing debris and plaque from the teeth, and actually increases the lifespan of restorations and helps prevent tooth decay. Flossing is important for everyone but especially important for people with veneers since gum tissue health is so important. Avoid mouthwashes containing alcohol. Over time the alcohol can degrade the bond between your restorations and your teeth.

Be Careful of What You Eat and Drink

Avoid foods high in sugar and limit between-meal snacks to prevent cavities. Limit consumption of coffee, soda, tea, etc to keep your smile stain free. Do not drink alcoholic beverages excessively. Too much alcohol can ruin your dental work.

Other Precautions

Other precautions to maintain your teeth include:

Refraining from biting or chewing on hard objects like pens, staples, metal, bottle caps, etc.
Refraining from grinding your teeth. If this is out of your control you can be fitted with a night guard to prevent damage. Wear the night guard!

By following our instructions and taking good care to maintain good oral hygiene you will increase the longevity of your smile makeover. Although these restorations or not be indestructible, the life of your new smile depends as much on how well you take care of it as on the skill we use to give you the smile makeover.

Your oral health must be evaluated before we will develop a plan for your smile makeover. We will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, gums, underlying support structure, and bite to determine if you can be a candidate for a complete smile makeover.
