A number of options are available for patients in need of smile makeover treatment. Whether the issue you have is to do with gaps or crooked teeth, or simply overly stained teeth, there is sure to be a cosmetic dental solution that is right for you.
The main methods of smile makeovers include veneers, tooth whitening, invisible braces and dental implants. Without a doubt the most versatile option is porcelain veneers, which can be used to cover chips, cracks, crooked teeth, gaps in teeth and severe staining.
Tooth whitening has become very popular in recent years, with film stars and celebrities setting the trend. This is a perfect option if you are happy with the shape of your teeth but simply want them to appear whiter and brighter. In most cases a single session can make your smile up to 7 shades brighter.
Invisible braces are an option if the misalignment of the teeth is too severe to be covered up by veneers. This can be done via rear fitting braces or clear plastic aligners. Either way the outcome is the same; the average time to complete a treatment is around 12-24 months.
Dental implants can be used when a tooth is either missing or has to be completely removed. The benefit of having an implant is not just about aesthetics, as gum recession and bone loss are common issues of missing teeth that can be avoided with this treatment.
