If you would like to improve the health and appearance of your smile, it’s important that you consider undergoing a smile makeover. A smile makeover involves a combination of cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry treatments. Used together, you can get the smile that you have always wanted. Our Boston cosmetic dentistry office routinely achieves stunning results with smile makeover treatments. We actually use some treatments more than others given the nature of some common dental problems. Let’s briefly look at some of the most popular treatments for smile makeovers.

Teeth Whitening

Stained teeth and general discoloration of a smile can have a major effect on your appearance. If you would like to get a smile that’s brighter and whiter, it’s important to consider getting professional teeth whitening. Professional whitening is far more effective than over the counter methods.

Porcelain Veneers

One of the best things about Boston porcelain veneers is that they can handle many different kinds of dental problems, making them ideal for smile makeovers. Porcelain veneers can conceal minor chips and cracks, major stains, and slight unevenness and misalignments.

Dental Crowns

If you have a tooth that’s severely decays or damaged and is causing you pain, a good option for you may be dental crowns. The dental crown will fit snugly over a damaged tooth, protecting it from harm and improving the overall appearance of the tooth as well.

Dental Implants

If you’re missing one tooth or many teeth, dental implants are something you should consider. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically integrated into your jawbone and gum tissue. They will hold dental restorations in place securely.

TMJ Disorder Treatment

Clicking, popping, and locking of the jaw may be signs of a TMJ disorder. There are plenty of treatments for remedying this uncomfortable problem that we can use, and many of them are simple and non-surgical.
