Who can benefit from a smile makeover?  Patients with crowded, crooked or short teeth, those with spaces between many teeth, congenitally underdeveloped or disfigured teeth, or an entire smile darkened and stained by tetracycline medicine. 

• There are many reasons why one might need a full dental reconstruction.  It can be because periodontal disease has destroyed supporting bone causing the loss of teeth, or because of recurrent decay on multiple crowns and bridges.  Or maybe there are bite problems, which have caused excessive wear on the natural teeth and aggravated the TM jaw joint. 

• These conditions could warrant a rehabilitation of the entire mouth.  Properly diagnosed, planned and executed, this type of dentistry has allowed patients to return to comfortable, functional and stable oral health.

• Because this is a makeover, not just a few front teeth, we are very conscious about how each tooth restoration will affect the others.  Replacing the front six or eight teeth might make the most sense when considering what most people will see when you smile, but only enhancing a few front teeth can mean those new teeth might be prone to break or chip.  An esthetic makeover without proper planning and follow through is not in our patients’ best long-term interest.

• Since we strive for the highest quality and long-term patient satisfaction, it is difficult to proceed unless the patient approves a comprehensive makeover when warranted.  Not every patient needs a comprehensive makeover, but we want to make sure our patients get the care they deserve.
