Patients with dental imperfections sometimes feel as if they
have to hide their smile from others. At Westside Family Dentistry, we want our
patients to feel good about the appearance of their teeth, which is why we
provide smile makeovers to help give them a boost of confidence. Our Durant
dentists take a comprehensive approach when addressing patients’ cosmetic and
restorative issues. This is so patients
may receive a more convenient treatment schedule, as they may be required to
undergo different procedures throughout multiple dental appointments.
A full smile makeover helps patients achieve beautiful and
healthy teeth. We utilize the latest in dental technology to rejuvenate
patients’ facial aesthetic and oral function.
What are the treatments included in a full smile makeover?
During your first appointment, one of our dentists performs a thorough examination to diagnose the
issues that must be addressed to improve your oral health. We then discuss your
goals and expectations to devise a treatment plan that meets each of your
needs. Every patient’s smile is unique, so
our dentists may recommend the following dental services:
A composite filling
to protect the tooth’s structure. This restorative treatment is made up of
resin, a natural-looking material that blends in with surrounding teeth and
does not detract from your smile.
Whitening treatment,
a discoloration solution that gives patients the opportunity to remove stains
on the surface of their dental enamel. By providing custom take-home whitening
trays, patients are able to brighten
their smile at a pace that is convenient for them.
For patients with minor dental trauma such as chips, cracks,
or discolorations beneath the enamel, porcelain
veneers mask these imperfections. They are thin shells of porcelain, opaque
enough to conceal the flaws of your teeth while appearing natural.
Patients with missing teeth can replace the gaps in their
smile with crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Crowns restore a single tooth and can be utilized anywhere in the smile. The
material used to fabricate your crown is dependent on your aesthetic goals and
where the prosthetic is located. Bridges
replace one or more missing teeth in a row. They gain their support with metal
wires that hook onto the crowns of neighboring teeth. Dentures allow edentulous
patients to achieve complete sets of teeth as these appliances can replace
either the upper or lower arches.
