Most of us like to take pride in looking our best. We keep our hair groomed and our clothes clean, and try to present ourselves nicely to the world. We also take care of our bodies to stay in good health. The problem with teeth, however, is that they don’t always look as perfect as we’d like, even when perfectly healthy. The modern human diet is not particularly kind to our teeth. Even if you avoid tooth decay, many foods can leave your teeth stained and eroded. Tack on a few decades of hard use and your teeth may look older than you.
Sometimes our smiles need a little help getting to the level of beauty we expect from them. Cosmetic dentistry has evolved alongside restorative dentistry as a way to make our smiles look as beautiful as possible, to reflect our good health.
If you’d like to improve the appearance of your smile, Comanche dentist Dr. Matthew Bridges is trained in safe, effective cosmetic techniques. He can help you achieve a beautiful smile that you’ll feel good about showing off. Call us at (580) 255-4880 to set up an appointment for a smile makeover.
What Happens During a Smile Makeover?
The wonderful thing about a smile makeover is that you control the outcome. Tell Dr. Bridges what aspects of your smile you are unhappy with, and he’ll explain possible treatments. There are many techniques available to correct aesthetic imperfections, and many patients are pleasantly surprised to learn what is possible.
Common complaints include:
- Discoloration and intrinsic stains
- Chips and jagged edges
- Crowded-looking teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Uneven arches
- Teeth that are smaller/bigger than others
- Teeth that stick out
- “Gummy” smile
- Asymmetry
In the hands of a skilled cosmetic dentist, there are many ways to improve your smile. Some of the more commonly used treatments include:
- Cosmetic bonding
- Porcelain veneers
- Teeth whitening
- Dental Crowns
- Replacing metal fillings with white fillings
- Orthodontics
With a smile makeover, you’ll have the opportunity to address each issue. For example, you may want to have one tooth bonded to correct an intrinsic stain, and then have all your teeth lightened with a whitening treatment. If you want to change your whole smile, porcelain veneers can alter the appearance of every tooth that shows when you smile.
If you wish to go for instant dramatic changes, you may want to consider Zoom whitening, which can lighten your teeth up to eight shades in a single day. Alternately, you can choose take-home whitening for a more gradual, subtle transformation over a period of weeks. Dr. Bridges will explain your options, the processes, and estimated costs, as well as your projected results. Small changes or big, in the end, you will love the way you look after a smile makeover!
Are You Ready to Love Your Smile?
We’ve been doing smile makeovers for a number of years, and the best part is always seeing the smiles on the faces of our patients when they leave the office. You know that feeling of wanting to touch your hair a lot after you get a new haircut you really love? When you complete a smile makeover, you will not be able to stop smiling!
