Understanding the Smile Makeover Process
While there are many cosmetic treatments that can transform your smile, none of them can do as much for your teeth as a full smile makeover. This is because a makeover combines several different powerful techniques, which when used together can enhance and build upon each other's strengths.
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
At Singing River Dentistry, every makeover is different. We work closely with you to decide what problems your makeover is addressing, what you want your final smile to look like, and which treatments will help get you there.
Benefits of a Smile Makeover
Enhanced Dental Aesthetics
If you are looking for a confidence booster and you feel that your smile is not in your favor, then opting in for a smile makeover is something you should seriously consider doing. Not only will this help you to get a beautiful smile, but you will get renewed confidence and feel more comfortable talking to new people when you meet them.
Improved Self-Confidence
It's no secret that somebody with a beautiful smile feels more confident because they know that they can present themselves better in comparison to their flawed smile.
Correcting Dental Imperfections
Smile makeovers can correct chipped teeth, cracked teeth, missing teeth, and discolored teeth. There are a variety of procedures to choose from, depending on your needs.
Smile Makeover Procedures
Teeth Whitening
No matter how well you care for your teeth, some discoloration is bound to happen. Discoloration can be a cause of exposure to dark-colored beverages, tobacco, foods, and routine wear and tear. Some minor stains can be removed with brushing and dental cleaning, while some stubborn stains can be removed with techniques such as teeth whitening.
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular treatments offering a quick and affordable way to improve the appearance of your smile. The three major teeth whitening options include in-office whitening, professionally dispensed take-home kits, and over-the-counter products.
Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers are one of the procedures our Tuscumbia, AL patients often select as part of the process of a smile makeover.
Porcelain veneers are an ultra-thin shell made of translucent porcelain that is cemented over the facial surfaces of your teeth to conceal dental flaws. The benefits of porcelain include durability, an improved smile appearance, and so realistic-looking that it makes veneers indistinguishable from natural teeth. They also require less tooth structure to be removed as compared to crowns.
Veneers can correct smiles affected by worn enamel, which is the dulling of tooth enamel over time. As we age, our teeth begin to have chips, cracks, or a generally uneven appearance. Veneers can conceal all these imperfections in the tooth. Moreover, veneers can cover discoloration that may not be fully correctable through teeth whitening.
Dental Crowns and Bridges
For people with large fillings in their molars, there can be all kinds of problems. Believe it or not, adults can crack or chip a tooth just by biting down on food the wrong way. With a crown, your tooth will be strong, and will look great.
Crowns are very common in our practice, and the procedure is simple. First, we have to take a mold of the tooth that needs fixing. That way, when we finish, it will look as close to the old tooth as possible. We will put a temporary crown on after we sand your tooth down to get rid of the crack or chip, because we don't want rough edges to hurt you, and because we want the permanent crown to adhere better.
When your crown comes in, it is a simple procedure to cement the crown to your natural tooth. Once it is in place, it looks and functions just like a natural tooth. If you are unhappy with dentures and want longer-lasting replacement teeth that allow you to speak and eat with comfort, dental bridges may be the right choice.
Bridges play a significant role in the natural look you want for a smile makeover. A dental bridge is designed to fit the shape and color of your natural teeth, providing you with a sense of confidence. At Singing River Dentistry, we offer quality dental bridgework that will make you smile again. Dental bridges are a viable solution for replacing one tooth or several adjacent missing teeth.
Orthodontic Treatments
Singing River Dentistry can help straighten your teeth. Invisalign is a less invasive method to perfect your smile.
The average time for Invisalign and other clear aligner orthodontic treatment is 12 to18 months. The dentist may give you multiple sets of retainers at a time, as you should meet with our dentist every 6 weeks. This will ensure your treatment goes correctly, and so we can make any adjustments if necessary.
Invisalign must be taken out when eating or drinking anything that isn't water. The aligners must be worn for 22 hours a day to maintain the most effective treatment. You can expect to wear between 12 to 48 different retainers throughout the treatment. You may be asked to wear the retainer at night, after the treatment is complete, to ensure the teeth don't move out of place again.

Are Smile Makeover Results Permanent?

Restorations such as veneers, crowns, and bridges may need repaired or replaced after several years. It's been to continue to see us regularly so that we can monitor your dental health and your new smile.
Does a Smile Makeover Involve Pain?
After your smile makeover, it is important to take care of your new smile to avoid any damage to your teeth and gums. While much of the care will depend upon the specific procedure performed, there are some general steps you can take to maintain or enhance your oral health.
Please know that it may take a while to adjust to your new bite and any artificial substances used to create your new smile. Give yourself time to get used to the differences in your mouth but contact a professional if discomfort is not managed by over-the-counter pain relievers. You may also rinse your mouth with warm salt water a few times a day to assist in the reduction of swelling and soreness.
Maintaining Your Smile After Cosmetic Dental Treatments
It's important that you practice proper oral hygiene going forward. Continue to brush and floss your teeth daily and keep regular teeth cleaning appointments to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup. This is especially significant because artificial tooth structures can be just as delicate as natural teeth.
