Are you tired of covering your mouth when you smile? Would you like to smile confidently in meetings and social events? If the answer is “yes,” you might be interested in an ultimate smile makeover. As the name implies, this treatment can correct the cosmetic issues you always spot when looking in the mirror and transform your teeth into the pearly whites you always dreamed of.

With a smile makeover, you design the smile of your dreams, but you do need to find a professional that can help you turn that dream into reality. So, it is essential to take your time and do diligent research before choosing the oral health professional who is going to oversee that transformation.

What is a Smile Makeover?

First of all, it is crucial to understand what this treatment involves. A smile makeover is a dental treatment that combines different cosmetic procedures to enhance your smile dramatically. This treatment varies from patient to patient, and it depends on the current situation of your teeth.

For example, if you are missing one or more teeth, your smile makeover might require dental implants, an implant-supported fixed bridge, full arch implant options, etc. However, if you are just unhappy with the look of your pearly whites, you might need a less invasive treatment, like replacement dental crowns or porcelain veneers.

How Do I Choose a Dentist for This Treatment?

A smile makeover can be complex, so you need to go through several steps before finally sitting in the dental chair and getting your brand-new smile. At Elite Prosthetic Dentistry, we believe that choosing the right professional to plan and perform this procedure is the most important one.
