What Procedures Are Involved In A Smile Makeover?

This depends on your oral health, and what kind of problems you have with your smile. But typically, smile makeovers involve both restorative dentistry procedures as well as cosmetic dentistry procedures.

Restorative dentistry includes procedures that are intended to fix damaged teeth, or to replace missing teeth. Root canals for infected teeth, dental crowns for damaged teeth, and fillings for cavities are all considered to be restorative treatment. You may also need dental implants or a dental bridge to replace missing teeth.

Cosmetic dentistry is usually done after restorative treatments. These procedures are not intended to fix oral health issues, but instead are meant to cover up aesthetic flaws in your smile, such as minor chips in your teeth, gaps between your teeth, and stained teeth. Common cosmetic treatments for smile makeovers include teeth whitening, dental bonding, and porcelain veneers.

In some cases, orthodontics like Invisalign may also be recommended. If you have major problems with your jaw position or the alignment of your teeth, these usually must be fixed before you can have cosmetic dentistry. 

Periodontal care may also be required if you have gum disease. Before you can get a smile makeover, your gum disease must be eliminated or its progression must be halted and it must be under control.

The Smile Makeover Process

The smile makeover process will be different for each person at SouthEnd Dentistry, but it will consist of the following steps.
