Smile Makeover

A smile makeover involves multiple reconstructive and professional dental procedures to restore and enhance various aspects of the patient’s teeth and mouth. Smile makeovers are a commonly offered cosmetic solution provided at Beautiful Smiles.

With a smile makeover, it’s possible to change, restore or alter multiple aspects of a patient’s mouth, including the appearance and functionality of teeth. To begin the smile makeover, we will examine a patient’s teeth and recommend procedures that will meet the patient’s wants and needs. We will then customize the treatment to the patient’s teeth before scheduling the appointments.

Since a smile makeover addresses multiple aspects of a patient’s mouth, they may need to make multiple appointments. We will outline the treatment plan during a consultation and guide the patient throughout the process. A smile makeover can help you enhance your smile while being mindful of your oral health.

If you want to enhance certain aspects of your smile, call us to schedule an appointment for more information on our smile makeovers.

What procedures are used in a typical smile makeover?

There are many cosmetic dentistry procedures that we can use including teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental crowns, and dental implants, among others.

Teeth Whitening

Yellow and stained teeth are a sign of age since teeth are whiter the younger you are. By eating foods that are artificially colored, drinking coffee, tea, wine and smoking – teeth can become yellow and severely stained. This will negatively impact your appearance and can even make you look unhealthy. As a result, patients throughout Newport Beach have their teeth whitened to remove the stains.

There are several ways to whiten your teeth. An in-office whitening procedure can whiten your teeth by up to eight shades in a single office visit and do so without causing any discomfort. For those that would prefer to whiten their teeth on their own schedule, an at-home treatment may be better. In this scenario, an impression is taken of your teeth and a customized Teeth Whitening tray is created in a dental lab. It is made to fit perfectly so that the whitening solution stays in place, and your teeth feel comfortable. If necessary, we will provide you with a whitening solution that can be used at home so that you can improve the appearance of your teeth regardless of where you are or how busy your schedule is.

Dental Veneers

Patients with severely stained or damaged teeth, can have dental veneers placed in order to improve their smile. We are a veneers dentist and can help to create natural looking dental veneers that can transform ordinary smiles into something truly stunning. In fact, many Hollywood stars have used veneers to improve their smile as most people have an imperfection or two. When you schedule an appointment with our Newport Beach dentist office, we will examine your teeth to determine if veneers are the best option for achieving the goals you have for your smile. They can be used to close gaps in between teeth, make teeth even in length, cover dark stains, and restore teeth that have been cracked or chipped. Some crooked teeth can even appear straighter using veneers.

Newport Beach, California Smile Makeover

When completing a smile makeover, some patients use dental veneers to make their teeth appear larger. Some adults, for example, have teeth that appear too small for their smile and their frame. When this is the case, veneers can be used to elongate the teeth and make them appear more natural. Patients throughout the local area enjoy the results that they receive by using veneers.
