The road to a picture-perfect smile can be equal parts exciting and overwhelming. As a combination treatment plan, a smile makeover aims to repair cosmetic flaws in the shape, size, and color of the teeth for comprehensive smile enhancement. This not only requires a thorough evaluation of your oral structures, but also an assessment of how your smile can be improved using the aesthetic principles of symmetry, proportion, and beauty.
There is a plethora of need-to-know information involved in a personalized smile makeover. To make the necessary patient education more digestible, our experienced cosmetic dentist has highlighted a number of facts about smile transformations at our Morristown practice that can help you gain insight into the process.
A Smile Makeover Is a Long-Term Investment Into Your Appearance
While the cost range for a smile makeover varies widely across different locations and dental practices, it’s important to remember that the outcome of treatment is designed to last for the near and distant future. In choosing the best smile makeover dentist for your needs, it’s critical to predicate your decision on high standards of experience, quality, and safety rather than budgetary concerns. This is key to long-term patient satisfaction with the results.
A Smile Makeover Can Also Address Overly Prominent Gums
Most smile makeover treatments only target the teeth, but at Aesthetic Smiles of New Jersey, our dentists can also address a dominating gumline or “gummy smile.” Dr. Edward Romano offers laser-assisted gumline recontouring for virtually painless reshaping of overly prominent gums to make the teeth appear longer and fuller.
You Can See the Potential Results of Your Smile Makeover Before Treatment
Dr. Romano utilizes advanced computer imaging dental technology to render a digital visualization of the anticipated results before the start of treatment. This smile preview allows patients to “try on” their new smile and make any necessary refinements prior to the procedure, often optimizing the desired outcome.
A Smile Makeover is Designed for Patient Comfort
The treatment options in a smile makeover—such as gumline recontouring, teeth whitening, and porcelain veneers—are designed to provide the most comfortable and convenient experience possible. This uncompromising patient care is achieved using conservative techniques that preserve the natural tooth enamel, virtually painless laser dentistry protocols, and digital impressions that eliminate the need for dental molds.
A Smile Makeover Can Restore Weak or Missing Teeth
While a smile makeover typically addresses cosmetic dental flaws in the teeth, Dr. Romano also performs more reconstructive procedures to address extensive oral health concerns and/or widespread tooth damage. Patients who experience biting problems, weak enamel, or a total loss of form and function can still have their smile rehabilitated with dental implants, dental crowns, implant dentures, and many more sophisticated restorative dentistry treatments.
