Smile Makeover
Clackamas, OR
 Your smile is an incredibly important factor in how people see you. It is often the first impression that you make, and says a lot about who you are before you ever say a single word. There are many factors that go into a beautiful, confident smile. Imperfections can significantly affect its quality and your confidence. This can leave you hiding your smile and leaving the wrong impressions. At Sunnyside Dentistry, we can customize a treatment to completely transform your smile with a smile makeover.
What is a Smile Makeover?
There are several factors that go into your smile. These factors include the color of your teeth, their size, and their shape. Even your gums play a role in how your smile looks. Issues such as discoloration, small chips or cracks, gaps between your teeth, overlapping, gum recession, and even excess gum tissue, can all significantly impact your smile as well as your confidence. A smile makeover is a cosmetic procedure that is designed to improve the appearance of your smile. It is a customizable treatment. This means that the procedures you undergo are unique to your needs to help you achieve the best possible smile for you.
Procedures Involved in a Smile Makeover
Because there are many different factors that can impact the quality of your smile, there are also many procedures that can help to improve it. Common treatments for a smile makeover include
| • |
Teeth whitening. Teeth whitening restores the bright white brilliance to your teeth, which helps your smile to shine.
|
| • |
Bonding. Bonding uses composite resin to correct minor cosmetic flaws, including small chips, cracks, gaps between teeth, misshapen teeth or teeth that are too small. Composite resin fills cracks, eliminate spaces, and transforms the size and shape of your teeth.
|
| • |
Porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers use small, thin shells of porcelain to cover over teeth affected by minor flaws. Porcelain is stronger than composite resin and has a longer lifespan.
|
| • |
Ceramic crowns. Ceramic crowns are used when more significant damage occurs. A crown holds a tooth together to prevent further damage. Ceramic helps to provide a completely realistic restoration.
|
| • |
Dental implants. Implants are used as a way to replace missing teeth. Titanium posts are surgically placed into your jawbone, which provides secure support for the ceramic crowns that act as your replacement teeth.
|
| • |
Gum grafting. Gum grafting is a treatment that restores a natural gum line following gum recession. The tissue used is typically taken from the roof of your mouth.
|
| • |
Aesthetic gum lift. A gum lift involves the use of a dental laser to remove excess gum tissue, which allows us to sculpt a perfectly natural, more aesthetic gum line. |
