A smile makeover may be a great idea for a patient with a number of cosmetic and dental health issues that cannot be addressed with any one treatment. After a brief consultation, your dentist will determine the best treatments to restore your oral health and enhance the beauty of your smile based on your needs, preferences, and budget. Here are a few reasons why one might consider getting a smile makeover to improve the health and beauty of your smile.
You Have Extensive Decay or Dental Damage
Oral injuries and infections like tooth decay and gum disease can lead to extensive damage that cannot be addressed with a single treatment. For example, while veneers can restore the shape and appearance of stained, chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth, they cannot replace lost teeth or address infections. Rebuilding a troubled grin may require a smile makeover that includes a number of strategically planned restorative and cosmetic dental treatments such as periodontal therapy and dental bonding.
Good Oral Health Can Set You Up for a More Enjoyable Life
The mouth is the entryway into the body for everything we eat and drink, and a person’s oral health has a massive impact on their overall wellness. For example, compromised teeth can make it much harder to chew thoroughly, which can lead to indigestion due to insufficiently chewed food or malnutrition due to not being able to eat a diverse and healthy diet. Restoring the structure and strength of your smile with a smile makeover can help you enjoy better digestive health as well as many tasty but tough foods.
A Beautiful Smile Can Make All the Difference for Your Confidence
People who smile generously are generally seen as friendlier, more confident, more competent, more trustworthy, and more approachable by the people around them, which can be a massive advantage in both the professional world and the social scene. Sadly, many people are shy about smiling due to dental defects like chips, cracks, fractures, severe decay, or missing teeth.
A smile makeover can address these issues with treatments like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, or dental implants to give patients the confidence they need to smile proudly and boldly. Smiling frequently also has the amazing ability to trick your brain into releasing your natural feel-good chemicals, which means grinning regularly can significantly improve your mood.
A smile makeover can gradually rebuild and beautify a compromised smile over the course of several treatments. Consulting with your dentist can help you find the best way to restore your grin and confidence.
