Your smile is one of the most important features of your face. Yet, some people do not like their natural smiles. Before, there wasn’t much you could do about it. But now, thanks to cosmetic dentistry, everyone has the option to get the smile of their dreams.
Dr. Daniel Lee at East Burn Dentistry and Implants in Portland, Oregon, helps his patients regain their confidence and improve their quality of life with convenient and long-lasting smile makeover procedures.
Here are some points which can help you determine whether you need a smile makeover or not:
Low Self-Confidence
If you have low self-confidence because of your smile imperfections, you should consider a smile makeover. Hiding your smile or not smiling will not solve this problem; getting a smile makeover will.
Chipped Teeth
Chipped or cracked teeth affect the overall attractiveness of your smile. Smaller chips can be easily treated with veneers or crowns. However, if you have big cracks, you might require other smile makeover solutions such as crowns.
Stained Teeth
Stained teeth significantly affect people’s perception of you. They indicate poor dental hygiene and make your smile less pretty. A teeth whitening treatment can return your teeth to the pearly white color they used to have.
Spaces Between Teeth
Spaces between teeth bother many people and stop them from smiling in public. With Invisalign or braces, Dr. Lee can fix your alignment and spacing issues.
Prominent Gums
Sometimes, teeth may appear short because of prominent gums. Smile makeover procedures such as crown lengthening or gum contouring can fix this problem.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a minimally invasive procedure used in cosmetic dentistry to restore the brightness of your teeth quickly.
Tooth Reshaping
Tooth reshaping is done to treat small chips and spacing issues. The dentist files off the inconsistent parts of the teeth in this procedure.
Crowns and Veneers
Crowns help treat broken or cracked teeth. They are like small caps placed on your tooth. Veneers are used to change the shape and size of the teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants can resolve the issue of missing teeth. In this procedure, dental implants are surgically placed in your jawbone to provide support for artificial teeth.
