You’ve probably seen celebrities and public figures with beautiful, seemingly perfect smiles. The fact is, few people have a naturally flawless smile, and they may have received a smile makeover. A smile makeover can combine various cosmetic dentistry techniques to enhance the appearance of your smile. This can include teeth straightening, dental veneers, professional teeth whitening, and more. Dr. Edward Liu offers all the services you need to get your own movie star smile.
Dr. Liu will work closely with you to determine which treatments you need to get the smile you’ve been wanting. No two smile makeovers are identical because everyone’s situation is unique.
If you have gaps between your front teeth, you may be self-conscious about it. Fortunately, there are some easy fixes. Dental veneers or bonding can cover up gaps or spaces, or orthodontics might be used if your issues are more extensive.
As we age, our teeth naturally become more yellowed. But other things can cause teeth stains. This can include injuries, accidents, or even the medications or food and beverages we consume. Smoking or other tobacco use can also stain your teeth.
Foods that cause staining include:
For many stains, Dr. Liu may recommend professional teeth whitening. For more serious issues that need to be camouflaged, you can opt for dental veneers.
Dental veneers are made with ultra-thin pieces of porcelain. In most cases, veneers are applied to your front teeth to cover up stains, chips, cracked teeth, and more. During the process of getting dental veneers, Dr. Liu will remove a tiny bit of your dental enamel so that the veneers fit naturally and blend well with your natural teeth. For this reason, veneers are an irreversible treatment.
If you have a malocclusion (crooked teeth), you may opt for a teeth straightening option. People with mild malocclusion may be able to straighten their teeth using clear aligners. However, severe cases of crooked teeth may need traditional braces.
When you’re missing one or more teeth, it affects much more than just your smile. A missing tooth creates problems with chewing, but other things can happen, too. You may experience bone loss in your jawbone, or the remaining teeth can shift. Dental implants are an excellent solution for replacing a missing tooth.
Keeping your smile looking beautiful requires dedication on your part, along with consistent support from your oral care team. Visiting the dentist twice a year for checkups and cleanings is a big part of taking care of your new smile. Also, be sure to practice solid oral care at home by brushing twice a day and flossing at least once every day.
