I’m unhappy with my smile. Should I consider a smile makeover?

Yes. Smile makeovers use cosmetic and restorative dental techniques to help you achieve the smile of your dreams.

Rather than make broad recommendations, the Pointer Ridge Dental Care team tailors treatment to your personal needs. They consider various factors to ensure optimal results, including the color, width, length, and shape of your teeth. 

The team asks for your input to determine what you dislike about your smile and uses that information to guide treatment. 

What types of issues benefit from smile makeovers?

The Pointer Ridge Dental Care team uses smile makeovers to treat various cosmetic issues, including:

• Tooth discoloration and stains
• Alignment and spacing issues
• Missing teeth
• Broken and damaged teeth

After an exam and a discussion of your goals, the team develops a personalized treatment plan.

What do smile makeovers involve?

The Pointer Ridge Dental Care team tailors smile makeovers to your goals. They might recommend the following:

Veneers

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the teeth at the front of your mouth. They cover minor imperfections, including cracks, chips, and unusually shaped teeth. Most people get 6-8 veneers for a balanced, symmetrical smile. 

Teeth whitening

Professional teeth whitening uses hydrogen peroxide gel to eliminate stains caused by coffee, tobacco, or aging. One treatment can make your smile up to eight shades lighter*. The results last for up to four months. 

Invisalign®

The team might recommend Invisalign if you have crooked teeth, crowded teeth, or an abnormal bite. Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to help you achieve a more symmetrical smile. 

Dental implants

Dental implants are titanium posts that replace your natural tooth roots. Your dentist places them into empty tooth sockets where they fuse with your jaw. Pointer Ridge Dental Care offers traditional implants, All-On-4® implants, and hybrid dental implant techniques. 

Cosmetic bonding

Cosmetic bonding uses cosmetic resin to repair tooth imperfections, like chips, cracks, and pitting. Bonding is the color of your enamel, so it blends in and looks natural.

Most smile makeovers include a combination of two or more of these procedures.
