Your Unique Smile Makeover
Most of us are familiar with smile makeovers from television programs, if not from our own experience. They are one of the most popular offerings of modern cosmetic dentistry and are so customized that nobody has ever had your smile makeover, or ever will.
Do you have more than one dental defect that you would like to correct? Rather than having them repaired or improved separately, perhaps even by different dentists and at different times, you can have an overall plan in one cosmetic dentistry office. It can be designed to fit your lifestyle and your budget and most modern dentists work with a third party financing company to help you get an easy-terms loan if you would like to do that.
Your smile makeover plan will be devised by you and your cosmetic dentist together, based on your goals and concerns and your dentist's evaluation of your dental status. It might consist of just a couple of procedures, or it might be more extensive.
You might want to have certain procedures done before others, such as teeth whitening before porcelain veneers. That would be because dental porcelain does not react chemically to substances in the mouth. That is, it does not become discolored by pigmented foods and drinks and neither does it respond to whitening agents.
Therefore, when you have your teeth whitened first, your dentist can choose a shade of porcelain for your veneers that matches your new bright color. These two procedures together would give you an outstanding smile makeover.
Other possible procedures might be all-porcelain crowns to replace gold crowns or white fillings to replace unsightly metal fillings. There are many more possibilities too, depending on your needs and preferences.
