What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is the lengthy process of improving the way your smile looks with multiple procedures. If you’re interested in a smile makeover, you’ll work closely with your dentist to identify areas that need improvement and specific procedures to give you the best looking outcome. All procedures in your smile makeover are cosmetic, restorative, or both.
Your dentist takes many factors into account while planning your smile makeover, going above and beyond to design a smile that looks both stunning and completely natural. They evaluate the current shade of your teeth, the shape of your mouth and jaw, your head shape, lip shape, and other features to make sure that the improvements fit in well in your appearance. Once they know which procedures to use, they plan them strategically so that they don’t affect each other’s healing.
What procedures can I get in my smile makeover?
Your smile makeover is individualized and designed especially for you. Procedures that your dentist at Dental Studio of Jersey City might recommend for your smile makeover include:
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening is a simple step in your smile makeover that gives your teeth a renewed, fresh luster.
Veneers
Veneers are slim shells of porcelain designed to attach to the front surfaces of unattractive teeth.
Invisalign®
Invisalign® is an orthodontic system that acts as a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. The system aligns your teeth with a series of transparent comfortable plastic aligners.
Dental implants
If you’re missing teeth, dental implants can aid in replacing them. They’re metal posts that your dentist screws into your jawbone to act like new roots for your new, custom-designed teeth.
How can I keep the results of my smile makeover looking great?
You might get a smile makeover after a traumatic accident, or you might get it to repair the damage from years of wear-and-tear. In any case, you’ll want the results of your smile makeover to last for the rest of your life. If you get crowns or veneers, you should plan on getting replacements for them eventually. To keep your teeth bright white, aligned, and intact for as long as possible, you should:
- Limit staining substances like tobacco and coffee
- Brush your teeth twice every day
- Floss once every day
- Avoid biting down on hard objects
- Use a mouth guard for sports
- Use a bite guard if you grind your teeth at night
- Visit Dental Studio of Jersey City for regular check-ups
Your dentist may give you more specific care instructions depending on the procedures you get in your smile makeover.
