In a recent blog, we discussed how Invisalign can straighten out your pearly whites. You can combine this treatment with other cosmetic services to achieve your smile goals. However, it can be overwhelming to know which options may be the best for your specific needs. A full mouth makeover at Plaza Family Dentistry can help simplify this process.
Discussing Your Treatment Plan
A full smile makeover can be used to address a variety of concerns in the same time frame. The procedures done throughout this process will be personalized to your specific needs and goals. Your dentist will examine your oral cavity and discuss specific areas that may need to be improved. During this time, you can also bring up any cosmetic concerns that you would like to correct. These goals can be combined and used to map out the most efficient plan. If any restorations need to be done, these will be scheduled before any cosmetic changes can begin. For instance, if you have cavities but would also like to whiten your teeth, you will need to have fillings done before a professional whitening treatment.
Getting Started With Your Makeover
The first step of this treatment is a consultation with your dentist. They may examine your smile in person or take X-rays and intraoral pictures to get a closer look at your teeth and gums. Then, using these images and your concerns, they will create a treatment plan. This transformation can include small improvements or drastic changes depending on your needs. If it has been quite a while since your last visit, this option can help guide you through the many different concerns you may have.
This Can Include Restorations And Cosmetic Improvements
As mentioned earlier, this makeover will be based on your specific needs and preferences. Your dentist will first want to ensure that your oral health is in good condition. Concerns such as decay, gum disease, or damaged teeth may be restored first. If your tooth has been broken or severely worn down, a dental crown may be used to repair and protect the area.
Once your smile is in good health, visual improvements can be made. These enhancements will be based on your personal goals. For example, if your main concern is having a dull smile, whitening treatments may be able to address this issue. If you find your smile to be unsymmetrical, Invisalign can help shift your teeth into correct position in a discreet manner. Or, porcelain veneers can be used to disguise blemishes or uneven teeth, leaving you with a uniform appearance.
