In today's high-profile world, looking your best and feeling confident have never been more critical. But, unfortunately, even the slightest smile flaws may cause you to feel self-conscious and even hide your smile when interacting with others.
The good news is that there are options for you to achieve a smile you're proud of, no matter what your current condition is. Whether you want brighter teeth or you need to replace or repair teeth to restore your smile, Dr. Christopher Stock is the cosmetic dentist in Bradenton, FL, that patients trust.
Here's what you need to know about smile makeovers.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
If you're not satisfied with the appearance of your smile, Dr. Stock will work closely with you to create a treatment plan to help you achieve your goals and have a smile you can feel proud of and rely on for function.
A smile makeover may include a few different treatment procedures to get your smile to where you want it to be. As a bonus, restoring the aesthetics of your smile also means that you're restoring function, so most of the smile makeover procedures we recommend will likely improve your bite function so you can chew and eat your food with ease again.
Suppose you're considering a complete smile overhaul with Dr. Stock. More extensive treatment plans can often be broken into smaller phases that can more easily fit into your schedule and budget. We're happy to work with you to help you achieve your smile goals!
What Can a Smile Makeover Fix?
Smile makeover procedures are ideal for restoring some of these concerns:
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Missing teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Tooth stains or discoloration
- Oddly sized or shaped teeth
- Decayed or fractured teeth
- Teeth that overlap
Dr. Stock will discuss your smile goals during an evaluation so he can make suitable recommendations for your smile. In addition, your treatment plan will address your specific concerns and desires for your smile.
Smile Makeover Treatment Procedures
A smile makeover in Bradenton is transformative and life-changing. The confidence that having a beautiful smile brings is priceless!
Here's a breakdown of some of the procedures Dr. Stock may recommend so you can understand what to expect.
- Professional teeth whitening: We can use an in-office treatment or a take-home bleaching kit to brighten your smile. For smile makeovers, we may start with teeth whitening to lighten your teeth to your ideal shade and then match any restorations we do after that so you can enjoy your brightest smile.
- Porcelain same-day crowns: A crown completely covers a fractured, decayed, or damaged tooth and restores its shape and function. Porcelain is durable and aesthetic as it closely matches your natural tooth. PlanScan CAD/CAM technology allows us to complete your crown on the same day without extra waiting time for a dental lab to complete it.
- Tooth-colored fillings: Customizable composite resin allows us to repair teeth with decay and cavities in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
- Dental bonding: Dr. Stock can also use composite resin to repair teeth that are fractured, oddly sized, have gaps, or are broken or chipped with a dental bonding procedure.
- Invisible braces with Invisalign: This is a discreet and efficient way to move teeth into alignment without wearing unsightly traditional metal braces.
- Porcelain veneers: Dental veneers fit over the front surface of your tooth to cover several types of imperfections like discoloration, chips or fractures, oddly shaped teeth, and spaces between teeth.
- Bridges: Dental bridges are an excellent option for replacing one or more adjacent missing teeth. Especially if you're not a candidate for dental implants.
- Tooth implants: Dental implants in Bradenton are the best option for replacing one or multiple missing because they restore both your tooth and your root. This gives you the closest thing to a natural tooth. In addition, dental implants can support a bridge or denture, which restores multiple missing teeth.
Your treatment plan may include a few different procedures to achieve your goals.
