If you\u2019re unhappy with the appearance of your teeth and gums, it can make it hard to enjoy taking photos or even looking in the mirror. But did you know that a beautiful smile is more than skin deep? It\u2019s true! While improving your gorgeous grin with a smile makeover<\/a> does offer undeniable cosmetic benefits, it can also have a variety of positive effects on your oral and mental health, too! Here are a few popular treatments, and how they can help make your smile (and your life!) a little brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are customized to your smile to correct a variety of issues, from the shape and size of your teeth to the exact shade of white. They can even be used to correct minor spacing issues and gaps, which is why many people refer to them as \u201cinstant orthodontics.\u201d They are stain resistant, durable, and with proper care and use can last up to 20 years. Best of all, in addition to improving your appearance, they can also boost your self-esteem and confidence, making it easier for you to improve your business and personal life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal-Free Restorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you have old metal fillings that are visible when you open your mouth to speak, smile, or eat? Even if they\u2019re still in great shape, they could still cause embarrassment that makes you avoid social interaction. Replacing them with tooth-colored, metal-free restorations is an excellent way to continue protecting your smile discreetly, so you have the confidence to share your voice in any situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gum Recontouring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a gummy smile that makes your teeth appear smaller, this can be both a cosmetic and oral health issue. Excessive gum tissue (known as gingival hyperplasia) can increase your risk of gum disease because it can be harder to keep your them clean and bacteria-free. Laser recontouring is a faster, more comfortable way to remove excess tissue, making your teeth appear larger and more uniformly shaped, all the while making your gums easier to keep clean and healthy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chipped teeth can be unsightly and embarrassing, but they can also make it harder to enjoy the foods you love if you are unable to chew them completely. Not only is this frustrating, but it can also cause medical issues such as malnutrition and indigestion. Cosmetic dental bonding can restore your damaged teeth by allowing you to chew food more thoroughly, lowering your risk of malnourishment, acid reflux, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are just a few examples of treatments that your dentist can include in your smile makeover. With so many options to choose from, there\u2019s seemingly no limit to what you can improve, all the while providing a variety of oral and overall health benefits along with your beautiful new smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
