Smile Makeover Specialist

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover uses a combination of cosmetic dentistry techniques to improve your smile’s outward appearance. It can also improve your oral health, lowering your risk of tooth decay and gum disease, while making it easier to bite, chew, and speak.

What are the cosmetic treatments used during a smile makeover?

When conducting a smile makeover, the team at San Ramon Dental Excellence combines several treatment techniques. Depending on your goals for treatment, they might recommend:

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening eradicates stains and discoloration from the surface of your teeth. There are several types of teeth whitening, including in-office, also known as chairside whitening, and take-home whitening trays. Teeth whitening treatment isn’t permanent, but it can lighten your teeth for 4-6 months at a time.

Veneers

Veneers are tailor-made shells of composite resin or porcelain cemented to your permanent teeth. It’s possible to get one or two veneers, but most people get six or eight to achieve a balanced, symmetrical smile. Veneers can correct various imperfections, including misshapen teeth, smaller-than-average teeth, or teeth with gaps between them.

Dental implants

Dental implants serve as replacement tooth roots. They’re small posts made of titanium that support an oral prosthetic, such as a crown, bridge, or implant-supported dentures. At San Ramon Dental Excellence, the team uses All-on-4® dental implants to restore smiles.

Dental crowns

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped coverings used to prevent damage or decay. Once placed, a dental crown envelopes the entire portion of your tooth above the gum line, restoring its near-original shape, size, and condition.

Invisalign®

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment system that uses a series of clear, plastic mouthpieces to gradually align your teeth. It’s more convenient than traditional metal braces and discreet, too.

Will I benefit from a smile makeover?

Only a qualified dentist can determine if you’ll benefit from a smile makeover. During your initial consultation at San Ramon Dental Excellence, the team conducts a comprehensive oral exam, reviews your oral health history, and takes a series of digital X-rays and impressions.

After gathering this information, your provider can develop a custom treatment plan that ensures you achieve your desired results.
