Who is a Candidate for a Smile Makeover?

Encinitas, Carlsbad, and San Diego

Many patients often have more than one problem with their teeth. Sometimes, a single procedure like porcelain veneers simply won't result in the smile you desire. Particularly when patients have large gaps or broken teeth, they may require more than porcelain veneers can provide. If you have several dental issues that you would like corrected, a smile makeover may be a viable options.

 

A smile makeover is a comprehensive approach to correcting several issues through a single plan. This approach allows patients to plan all of their procedures with an eye toward a final goal, so that patients can avoid procedure overlap. While it is fine for patients to choose to have procedures as they need them, a smile makeover can sometimes save time by having several procedures at once instead of spreading them out over months or even years.

 

While a smile makeover is largely done to improve the look of your teeth, it can also help eliminate a wide range of dental issues, including serious underlying problems which may require a full mouth rehabilitation.

 

Candidates for a smile makeover include anyone who wants to improve the look and function of their teeth. As long as you are healthy and do not have any complicating underlying health issues, you may be a candidate for a smile makeover.

 

Smile makeovers can correct:

• Gum-dominated smiles
• Large gaps between teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Chipped or broken teeth
• Discolored teeth
• Unusual teeth shape
