A beautiful smile is your best accessory, but are you feeling less than confident flashing your pearly whites? Your smile says a lot about you and you only get one chance to make a good first impression.

Need a confidence boost to be your best self? A smile makeover is just what the dentist ordered!

Why You Need a Smile Makeover

Other than feeling self-conscious about their smile, a lot of people have specific reasons for asking about cosmetic dental care treatments. Bad teeth are often associated with lifestyle habits and social standing, such as smoking and drug habits, as well as an inability to afford proper dental care. While other people’s’ opinions should be of no concern, it’s often easier said than done. These perceptions undoubtedly take a toll on self-esteem.

From staining and discolouration of the teeth due to years of maintaining a Starbucks habit to pronounced gums and noticeable gaps between teeth, a smile makeover can help fix a myriad of dental issues. These include, but are not limited to:

• Staining that results in yellowed or brownish teeth, which can look dirty and unattended to, no matter how regularly you brush
• Chipped and cracked teeth as a result of a past accident
• Large gaps and spaces in between teeth
• A gummy smile

Good dental care habits — like regular brushing and flossing — can go a long way in keeping your pearly whites intact, but when you’re dealing with the above-mentioned issues, you need more than oral hygiene. A smile makeover can fix gaps between teeth and gummy smiles, as well as use long-lasting teeth whitening solutions to restore the colour of teeth. By the end of your makeover, you’ll feel so much better about yourself – we guarantee it!

What does my smile makeover include?

A smile makeover is actually an umbrella term used to describe a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments designed to bring out beautiful smiles. Depending on your goals and the current condition of your teeth, you may need anywhere from just one to a combination of these treatments to fix your smile and make your teeth look naturally beautiful.

1. Teeth whitening

This simple treatment is designed to brighten stained teeth up to 10 shades whiter. Your dentist can customize the number of treatments and dosage of the whitening agent depending on the degree of staining and the results you want to achieve.

2. Gum contouring

Gummy smiles can be fixed using contouring techniques that allow dentists to pull back pronounced gums, revealing a more balanced smile.

3. Porcelain veneers

Known as one of the most versatile cosmetic dentistry treatments, veneers can be used to improve the appearance of damage teeth by applying a protective layer over them. The result is a beautiful smile and a uniform appearance of teeth.

4. Invisalign

Invisalign clear plastic aligners are worn as an alternative to traditional fixed braces to help straighten teeth. Your dentist will prescribe a length of wear for your Invisalign aligners and will swap them out periodically until you reach the desired result.

5. Dental implants

Rather than wearing traditional dentures, implants can now be used to replace missing teeth permanently, blending in perfectly with your smile while providing the same function and support as natural teeth.

Benefits of a Smile Makeover

Have you ever had someone smile at you and instantly make your day? With a smile makeover, it’s your turn to flash that smile! Improved confidence and self-esteem is truly invaluable.

A beautiful smile can provide amazing psychological benefits that improve your general outlook on life. And when you feel good about yourself and radiate that positive feeling, others will be drawn to you as well. The right amount of confidence is magnetic and a smile makeover will easily amplify your natural charm.

Make Your Beautiful Smile Last Longer

Your smile makeover will last as long as your good dental care habits. Whitened and straightened teeth, as well as dental implants, require proper brushing, flossing and lifestyle habits to maintain. Good dental care habits, such as at-home cleaning routine, regular dental checkups twice a year, and cutting down on harmful foods, drinks, and tobacco can do wonders for the longevity of your new, beautiful smile.
