Sometimes it may seem like everyone has a great smile, but that is simply not true. Millions of people around the world would love an attractive smile but many are unsure how to make that dream come true. Do you feel like you have a dull or unattractive smile? Are your teeth crooked and weird looking? Or perhaps you’re dealing with a cracked tooth?
While dental problems can be diverse, solutions are often limited. Some dental problems are easy to fix, whereas others require extensive dental treatment planning to accomplish. The truth is that a smile is made up of many different components – alignment, tooth shape, size, texture, and colour, just to name a few.
Either way, there is no need to make do with your teeth any longer. Smile makeovers are just what you need. They are a collection of procedures that possess the best of both worlds – the aesthetic quality of cosmetic procedures with the complexity and functional warranty of restorative dentistry.
At Hampstead Dental in Melbourne, Australia, we offer full smile makeovers to help you achieve the best possible version of your smile!
What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a process of correcting your teeth and enhancing the appearance of a smile through various procedures- both cosmetic and non-elective. Smile makeovers can help accentuate your attractiveness by taking into account key areas of your mouth and face including tooth colour, tooth size, tooth shape, tooth position and alignment, lip position and contour, lip length, gum size, gum position, and gum colour.
Do you need a smile makeover?
If you want know if your eligible smile makeover, here are a few questions you can ask yourself before getting one:
- Are your teeth incorrectly aligned?: A good dental alignment means that all your teeth are perfectly straight in line with each other. In case your teeth do not follow each other in a straight line or are crooked, your teeth are malaligned.
- Do you have uneven spaces between your teeth?: Uneven spacing between your teeth can cause food dislodgement. Additionally, your teeth may also begin to gradually shift to fill these gapped spaces.
- Do you have missing teeth?: Much like uneven spacing between the teeth, teeth lost due to disease or trauma can be a trap for plaque accumulation and subsequent gum inflammation.
- Are your teeth chipped or broken?: If you’ve recently endured trauma to the face which, in turn, caused a fracture to the teeth, it can be a dental liability.
- Are your teeth stained or dull?: A lifetime of coffee drinking or smoking can take a toll on your teeth and cause them to look yellower or duller than normal. This can be easily corrected with Zoom teeth whitening or dental veneers.
- Are you unsatisfied with your smile?: Often, there may not be anything that is inherently wrong with your smile but you may not be entirely satisfied with it. In such cases, you can consult our team of dental professionals to gain insight on further steps and treatment procedures!
What dental procedures are included in a smile makeover?
The process of smile makeovers is unique for each patient for which our dentist will personalise a treatment plan just for you!
At Hampstead Dental, we offer the following smile makeover services:
1. Cosmetic bonding
Dental bonding is a procedure by which a tooth-coloured composite resin is cemented to your tooth surface to improve their appearance, alter their size, and conceal any areas of defect. It is especially helpful for teeth that are chipped, broken or have uneven spaces between them.
2. Veneers
A dental veneer is an ultra-thin, strong shell that covers the front, visible portion of the teeth. It can be an exceptional choice if you have dental imperfections such as chipped, stained, unevenly gapped, or cracked teeth. These can be custom-made for you and can even be tailored to fit the colour, texture, and overall aesthetics of your existing teeth.
3. Porcelain crowns
Teeth that have been subjected to a lot of decay or disease may not be fully salvaged with the help of regular dental fillings. For these damaged teeth, you will need extra support with the help of porcelain dental crowns. These crowns fit over the entire tooth like a cap and help the tooth maintain its structural integrity by preventing collapse or further damage.
4. Enamel shaping
Enamel shaping or contouring is a highly effective, non-invasive procedure to alter the shape and position of your teeth to help uplift your smile. Uneven teeth, overly crowded teeth, and maligned teeth can be conducive to plaque accumulation and decay. Enamel shaping helps even out the dentition and reinstates a standard of cosmetic value.
5. Teeth whitening
Stained or discoloured teeth can easily be corrected with in-office professional teeth whitening. This allows for a uniform and safe way to achieve whiter and brighter smiles.
6. Clear aligners
Clear orthodontic aligners such as Invisalign are popular for correcting malaligned teeth. With invisible aligners, you can attain your aesthetic goals while also being in full control of your teeth’s functional capabilities.
With smile makeovers, you can elevate the level of your smile! Get yours done today at Hampstead Dental in Melbourne, Australia.
