What is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a series of dental treatments that takes a comprehensive and personalized approach to enhance your smile’s appearance and function. It involves a combination of cosmetic and restorative dental procedures, such as teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental implants, gum contouring, and full mouth restoration, tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Choosing a skilled and reputable dentist like Dr. Mark McOmie is essential for a smile makeover. With his experience and attention to detail, you can trust that your smile makeover will be precise and perfectly suited. There’s a reason McOmie Dentistry has won Best of the Best Cosmetic Dentist in Chattanooga six years in a row.
Benefits of Smile Makeovers
Smile makeovers offer more than just a surface-level enhancement and provide a multitude of benefits, including:
- Improved Confidence: A beautiful smile can boost your self-esteem and make you feel more confident in social situations.
- Better Oral Health: Many cosmetic procedures also improve the function of your teeth, leading to better oral health and preventing future dental issues.
- Enhanced Facial Aesthetics: A smile makeover can not only enhance your teeth but also improve the overall appearance of your face.
Ultimately, a smile makeover isn’t solely about transforming your teeth; it’s about enhancing your overall quality of life.
Smile Makeover Procedures
There are several procedures that can be part of your smile makeover, depending on what you wish to correct, enhance, or change. Here’s a breakdown of some options:
- Teeth Whitening: Our tooth-whitening procedure utilizes professional-grade products and techniques to safely lighten the shade of your teeth. By removing stubborn stains and discoloration, teeth whitening can give you a noticeably brighter and more youthful smile.
- Porcelain Veneers: These custom-made, ultra-thin shells are artfully crafted to fit over your existing teeth. Porcelain veneers can address the symmetry, shape, and color of your teeth by fixing imperfections such as chips, cracks, or gaps. With their natural-looking appearance and durability, veneers offer a long-lasting solution for achieving a flawless smile.
- Dental Implants: Considered the premium standard for tooth replacement, dental implants offer a permanent and reliable solution. By surgically placing a titanium implant into the jawbone, implants provide a strong foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. This secure and stable restoration restores your ability to chew and speak properly and preserves the health and integrity of your jawbone.
- Gum Contouring: For those looking to achieve a more balanced and harmonious smile, gum contouring can be a valuable addition to a smile makeover. This procedure carefully reshapes the gum line to reveal more of the teeth, correcting a “gummy smile” or uneven gum levels. By adjusting the contour of the gums, this treatment can significantly enhance the overall aesthetics of your smile, making it appear more proportionate and visually appealing.
- Orthodontics: Whether you opt for traditional braces or clear aligners, orthodontic treatment can effectively straighten your teeth and correct bite issues. By gradually shifting your teeth into their ideal positions, orthodontics enhances the appearance of your smile and improves its functionality.
- Composite Bonding: This tooth bonding procedure involves applying a tooth-colored composite material to the teeth to fix minor imperfections such as chips, cracks, or gaps. It’s sculpted into shape and hardened with high-intensity light for an improved look.
- Dental Crowns: Crowns are used to entirely cover or “cap” a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal.
- Inlays and Onlays: Inlays and onlays are used when a tooth has moderate decay or there’s not enough structure to support a filling, but not so much that a crown is necessary.
- Dental Bridges: A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth, spanning the space where the teeth are missing. Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space.
- Tooth Reshaping: This involves minor changes to the teeth to improve their appearance by removing part of the enamel to change the length, shape, or surface of one or more teeth.
- Full Mouth Reconstruction: For those requiring more extensive care, restorative full mouth reconstruction involves a series of procedures designed to replace or rebuild all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws simultaneously.
Dr. McOmie will take the time to carefully evaluate your unique needs and collaborate with you to identify the most suitable procedures for your smile makeover. With his expertise and personalized approach, he will ensure that your smile is truly transformed, bringing out its absolute best.
