If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about your smile, you owe it to yourself to ask our dentists about a smile makeover. Like the name suggests, a smile makeover focuses on fixing your entire smile with multiple procedures, not just one or two teeth.

Our dentists will be able to determine what is right for you and your budget. Contact us today for more information. Continue reading to learn if you’re a candidate for certain restorative dentistry or cosmetic dentistry services.

Benefits of Smile Makeovers:

• Achieve a beautiful healthy smile
• Smile with confidence
• Correct multiple issues in a short period of time
• Improve oral health

A Smile Makeover is Possible With:

Veneers

A veneer is a wafer-thin porcelain shell bonded to the front of a tooth to repair chips or cracks. Porcelain veneers can also be used to correct uneven teeth, tooth discoloration, or close small gaps between teeth. Veneers require three trips to a cosmetic dentistry, which include an initial consultation with one of our dentists, tooth prep, and bonding dental veneers to teeth.

Dental Bridges

Like the name suggests, a dental bridge is used to “bridge” the gap left by a missing tooth. A dental bridge is a false tooth anchored in place by dental crowns covering adjacent teeth. A dental bridge gives you the appearance and function of a natural tooth so you can smile with confidence.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns repair broken or decayed teeth by covering the entire tooth visible from the gum line. Not only are dental crowns durable, but they also look and function like real teeth. For significant tooth damage, our dentists may recommend the dental crown procedure.

Teeth Whitening

Not getting the white teeth you’ve always wanted with over-the-counter whitening toothpastes and strips? For professional teeth whitening results, you’ll want to schedule an appointment at our Grand Rapids office. One of our dentists will be able to create a whitening tray you can use at home that’s customized to your smile. Many of our patients appreciate the convenience of being able to whiten their teeth at home.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are perfect for patients only missing one or two teeth. To be a candidate for dental implant surgery, you’ll need healthy gums and jaw bone tissue.

This is because our dentists will need to insert a titanium rod into your jaw tissue, which will function much like a natural tooth root. After the implant has fused to your jaw bone (a process called osseointegration), we will place an abutment and crown over top for a tooth that looks and feels natural.

Full or Partial Dentures

If you are missing several teeth in a row, you’ll want to ask our dentists about getting full or partial dentures. While living with dentures takes some getting used to, our patients notice being able to eat and speak normally after a few days. While dentures are essentially removable teeth, they are designed to help you achieve a better quality of life than you would have had with missing teeth.
