Makeover your smile for greater self-confidence and a younger looking you
Article Source: HealthSnare.com
What's Involved?
There is no set explanation for what's involved in a smile makeover, because it is entirely your own choice. It may involve several procedures, or you may opt for just one which you feel would be enough to transform your smile. There are many procedures to choose from, and it is best to talk them through with your dentist to find the right ones for you. However, most dentists will offer the following.
Orthodontics
This need not mean traditional braces. More and more people are opting for modern alternatives to braces, such as Invisalign, Six-Month Smiles and Inman aligners. These are fast, convenient ways to get straight teeth without unsightly metal brackets.
Dental implants
Implants are an excellent restorative treatment for missing teeth. They act as the root portion of the tooth to provide greater aesthetics and stability than other treatments.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a very popular option as whiter teeth can transform a smile, and it does not involve any complicated procedures. It can be done using a laser or a take-home whitening kit.
Veneers or Lumineers
These are used to cover a multitude of sins, from gaps to discolouration. They are priced per tooth and vary dramatically in price.
Botox
Injecting Botox into your lips can smooth out wrinkles around the mouth and improve the overall appearance.
Gum Contouring
Having your gums contoured with either surgery or a laser can reduce the effects of a ‘gummy smile' and reveal more of your teeth.
There are other procedures available. Speak with your dentist for full details of any procedure.
