A smile makeover in Midtown Manhattan is a redesign of your smile. The goal of the makeover is to improve the appearance of your mouth, teeth, and gums restoring your beautiful smile to its former glory. It can correct issues with cracked, chipped, or broken teeth. Or even teeth that are badly stained. It involves multiple treatments and procedures each designed to correct an issue that is affecting the way you smile.
Some things that a smile makeover can fix:
How long the procedure will take is determined by what type of treatment your NYC dentist has recommended and how the patient feels. If only minor treatments are needed the timeline may be one to two visits. The more work needs to be done the longer it will take to achieve the desired results.
You may need one or several procedures done, so time will vary. Time will vary based on your needs and what you wish to accomplish. And remember, whenever doctors work with your body, it is the one that tells them when to proceed to the next step. New York Total dentists understand and respect your body because they want to give you a long-lasting and great result.
Several dental procedures may be incorporated into smile design and makeover to correct a host of issues. Most people believe that porcelain veneers and crowns are the only treatment option for dental issues involving missing or cracked teeth. Smile makeovers may use one or all of these procedures:
To straighten crooked teeth braces or Invisalign aligners may be used. Or if that is not an option, veneers, bridges, and crowns can correct some issues with missing or discolored teeth. There are many treatment options available that your Midtown Manhattan dentists can use to make your smile look the way it did when you were younger. You should expect to spend about 6 months to completely makeover the look of your mouth and teeth. It is worth it and you will be pleased you did it when you see how good you look and you know that it will last long.
Many people have small mouths and small teeth. To make those teeth look larger and more attractive, gum line reshaping can raise the gumline and veneers can lengthen the look of the teeth. This will take approximately 2 to 3 visits.
If your teeth look long it is most likely due to a receding gum line. This is a normal occurrence in cases of periodontal disease. The gums shrink to where the root of the tooth is exposed making the tooth look overly tall. This is treated with a gum graft to take care of receding gums and infection from gum disease. The results are a normal-looking gum line with teeth that are the right size and proportion.
Some medications can cause stains on teeth that do not go away. They also do not respond to tooth whitening treatments. In cases where the stains are resistant to efforts to get rid of them, porcelain veneers may be a good option. The veneers are placed on the front and back of the tooth completely covering it. These are enamel-colored and look just like your other teeth but without the unsightly staining.
When you have missing teeth one solution is to use dental implants to fill in the gaps. These are the closest in looks and feel to regular teeth but are not dentures. Implants have a titanium post or “root” that is placed into the bone and a crown is attached to the post to create a permanent correction for a lost tooth. It becomes a permanent tooth and feels and functions like a real tooth.
Midtown Manhattan smile makeover dentists use porcelain ceramic crowns and onlays to fix chipped, broken, or missing teeth. The procedure is designed to restore beauty and functionality to teeth. Crowns can solve a number of dental issues and are a good option for most patients.
The terms are different, but pretty much they are describing the same goal. To restore the appearance and function of the teeth to a healthy state. Restoring broken, cracked, chipped, or missing teeth and whitening discolored teeth so they look beautiful again.
Often such treatment will require the involvement of various specialists (Periodontist, Implantologist, Cosmetic Dentist, Invisalign Specialist) to achieve aesthetic and functional results. However, the difference between the two is a smile makeover is a procedure that you elect to have performed while a full mouth rehabilitation is functionally necessary due to severe dental or medical concerns.
