If you’ve ever bought an outfit that made you feel like a million bucks while trying it on, the principle behind the appeal of a smile makeover should be obvious: when you look good, you feel good. If you look in the mirror and see teeth that don’t smile back at you, you may feel more than a bit hopeless about the situation. Luckily, however, there is a solution. A smile makeover could be just the thing to give you your confidence and your life back.
There are many cosmetic complaints we hear from our patients: some experience unwanted discoloration, while others wish to have gaps filled or their teeth aligned. Others have teeth which have experienced trauma in the past and as a result are cracked, chipped, or fractured, which is not only a health and safety concern, but can also be quite unsightly. More complicated problems to deal with include patients who are dissatisfied with the shape of their teeth, or want to replace many of them at once. While seemingly insurmountable to the layman, these are all aesthetic improvements our San Francisco cosmetic dentist will be able to make for you. There are many options available to you when seeking to improve the appearance of your teeth. One of the most common cosmetic procedures performed by our dentists is simple whitening. Whether administered in-office or as a take-away package, bleaching or lasering away years of environmental wear and tear is one small thing that can be used to significantly change the way your teeth look. For those who wish for straight teeth in perfect alignment but are not interested in wearing a set of braces for years, either an invisible, removable aligner or dental bonding may be good options to look into. While alignment retainers will work gradually to shift your teeth into a more attractive configuration, dental bonding can fill in the spaces and cover any imperfections. For fractured or otherwise damaged teeth, there are crowns, bridges, and porcelain veneers to consider. A crown is used over a damaged tooth. While similar to a bridge, they are actually quite different; a bridge involves two crowns attached to either side of a false tooth, and this tool is used to bridge the gap where a missing tooth once way. Veneers are wafer-thin façade, hiding misshapen and jagged edges. Finally, there is the most drastic measure in our dentist’s arsenal: dental implants. In cases where the tooth must be replaced entirely and there are no natural structures nearby dental implants are a great option to consider. Schedule a consultation with our dentist to learn more about your options.
