Esthetic Smile Makeover

A smile makeover can be similar to complete rehabilitation since it can involve many of the same restorative and esthetic techniques. However, the patient has few if any significant health or tooth loss issues. Patients may have crowded, crooked, or short teeth, or spaces between many teeth. Congenital defects can mean that teeth were underdeveloped or disfigured in appearance. Tetracycline medicine could have darkened and stained an entire smile.

Because this is a makeover we are very conscious about how each tooth restoration will affect the other. Replacing the front six or eight might make the most sense from an obvious esthetic viewpoint - what most people will see when you smile.

Therefore, we might restoratively (and esthetically) enhance many other teeth in the mouth. Since we hang our hat on quality and long-term patient satisfaction, it is difficult to proceed unless the patient approves a comprehensive makeover when warranted. Not every patient needs a makeover but we want to make sure each patient gets the care they deserve.
