When ABC’s Extreme Makeover was popular a few years ago, the nation learned a lot about cosmetic surgery and cosmetic dentistry. Along with “complete makeover” and “cosmetic makeover,” the term “smile makeover” became well known. But what is a smile makeover? Is surgery required?
A smile makeover rarely requires surgery. For most people, the process involves only conservative in-office treatment. While teeth whitening, gum reshaping, tooth recontouring, and white crowns and fillings may be part of a smile makeover plan, the most popular and singular procedure is porcelain veneers.
With hand crafted porcelain veneers, front teeth appear more attractive overall. Shape, color, size, positioning, and texture can be altered with this one procedure. You could avoid teeth whitening, tooth reshaping, and even orthodontic braces by choosing porcelain veneers for your smile makeover.
The first step will be a cosmetic consultation in which your Pannu Dental Care dentist discusses your ideal smile. The dentist will also address what you like and don’t like about your natural smile. After a thorough oral examination, a treatment plan will be created and presented to you with detailed explanations. If you have any questions, be sure to ask! The more you know and understand your treatment plan, what to expect, and the outcome potential, the better you’ll feel about your smile makeover. (more…)
