Do you want a gorgeous smile? Are you looking to transform your ordinary smile into something brilliant? Regardless of how your teeth look today, Ohio Cosmetic Dentistry has the ability to improve your smile tremendously. There are many cosmetic dentistry procedures that can be used in a smile makeover including teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental crowns, and dental implants, among others. Here are the 4 popular smile makeover procedures that will have you smiling big in no time:

Teeth Whitening

There are several ways to whiten your teeth. An in-office whitening procedure can whiten your teeth by up to eight shades in a single office visit and do so without causing any discomfort. For those that would prefer to whiten their teeth on their own schedule, an at-home treatment may be better. In this scenario, an impression is taken of your teeth and a customized Teeth Whitening tray is created in a dental lab. If necessary, we will provide you with a whitening solution that can be used at home so that you can improve the appearance of your teeth regardless of where you are or how busy your schedule is.

Dental Veneers

Patients with severely stained or damaged teeth can have dental veneers placed in order to improve their smiles. They can be used to close gaps in between teeth, make teeth even in length, cover dark stains, and restore teeth that have been cracked or chipped. Some crooked teeth can even appear straighter using veneers.

Dental Crowns

When teeth are more severely damaged or broken, a dental crown is often a better solution for transforming its appearance and functionality. A crown can be used to improve the appearance of the tooth and strengthen it since when a crown is used, nothing touches the natural tooth.

Dental crowns can accomplish similar goals to veneers. They can make teeth even, close gaps, cover stains, and restore cracked or chipped teeth. The major difference is that the crown surrounds the entire tooth, so there is additional stability that comes with this procedure.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are an excellent way to restore missing teeth because once the procedure is completed; you can enjoy all of your favorite activities and foods without worrying about the tooth falling out or becoming loose. This is important because, with other procedures like dentures, teeth can get loose while running around or eating lunch with friends. Dental implants are so durable that you will not be able to tell the difference between the implant and natural teeth.

Some people may also use dental implants to straighten teeth that are crooked or teeth that are not responding to orthodontics. This is an important part of a smile makeover because if all of your teeth are white and beautiful, but one is severely crooked, your new smile will feel incomplete.
