Components of a Comprehensive Full Smile Transformation
A full smile transformation typically combines multiple procedures:
Porcelain Veneers:
The Gold Standard
Porcelain veneers are a cornerstone of smile transformations. These ultra-thin ceramic shells are bonded to the front of your teeth, transforming their appearance. We use high-quality porcelain materials, including options like IPS e.max and Empress, known for their strength and natural appearance. We also offer ultra-thin "prep-less" veneers that require little alteration of the underlying tooth. Properly maintained porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or longer.
Dental implants offer the most natural-looking and functional replacement option for missing teeth. They are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone. This provides bone preservation, stability, longevity, and natural aesthetics. Implant options include individual implants, implant-supported bridges, and full-arch solutions like All-on-4®. The success rate for dental implants exceeds 95%.
Porcelain Crowns: Restoring Function and Beauty
When teeth are severely damaged, porcelain crowns provide structural reinforcement and aesthetic enhancement. These custom-crafted caps encase the entire visible portion of the tooth, restoring its shape and appearance. Modern all-ceramic crowns offer superior aesthetics, a metal-free design, biocompatibility, and durability.
Professional Teeth Whitening: Creating a Brilliant Foundation
Professional teeth whitening often serves as the first step. We offer in-office power whitening and custom take-home whitening options, providing better results than over-the-counter products.
Gum Recontouring: Framing Your Smile Perfectly
Aesthetic gum recontouring creates the ideal frame for your new smile by establishing proper tooth-to-gum proportions. Using laser technology, we can reshape your gumline to correct gummy smiles, create symmetry, and address receding gums.
While veneers can mask minor misalignments, more significant issues may require orthodontics. We incorporate options like clear aligners and accelerated orthodontics. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and less prone to wear.
