Is a Smile Makeover Right for Me?

Benefits of a Smile Makeover
Patients who want to enhance their smile and appearance can enjoy many advantages from treatment, including:
Few dental procedures can deliver the dramatic results of a smile makeover. This treatment can conceal a wide range of aesthetic imperfections, including chipped, crooked, or stained teeth.
Many individuals are so self-conscious about their smile that they cover their mouth for photos or avoid social events altogether. A smile makeover can give you the confidence to show off your smile.
With a smile makeover, every step is methodically planned out from start to finish. As a result, outcomes are generally superior than what you can achieve through piecemeal dentistry.

How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
Commonly Combined Procedures
When it comes to smile makeovers, no two treatment plans are the same. Because each patient brings his or her own unique goals to the table, each plan is tailored accordingly. Here are some of the most common cosmetic services included in a smile makeover at our Fountain Valley dental practice:

Teeth Whitening
Environmental factors, such as dark-colored foods or drinks, can stain tooth enamel and make your smile appear unhealthy. Dentist-supervised teeth whitening can dramatically brighten your smile in just one hour. Dr. Mortensen offers both in-office and take-home whitening options.

Dental Bonding
If you have small chips, craze lines, or other dental problems that affect the appearance of your smile, then dental bonding could be an option. During this procedure, your dentist applies tooth-colored composite to the affected areas, bringing balance and symmetry back to your smile.

Porcelain Veneers
Veneers cover the front surfaces of the teeth, changing their size, shape, or color. Veneers are crafted from medical-grade porcelain, which mimics the translucency of natural teeth for a truly lifelike look.

Dental Crowns
Crowns are used in both cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Unlike veneers, crowns cover the entire tooth structure. Therefore, these restorations may be recommended when additional strength and reinforcement is needed. Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain.

Dental Implants
Missing teeth interfere with your appearance as well as your oral health and function. Dental implants are small titanium posts that replace missing tooth roots. They can be restored with crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Gum Reshaping
Some patients have excess gingival tissue that covers portions of the natural crowns of the tooth. This can make the teeth appear small and boxy. Our dentist can perform gum reshaping at our Fountain Valley practice to eliminate excess gingival tissue and make the gum line more even.
/https%3A%2F%2Fd1l9wtg77iuzz5.cloudfront.net%2Fassets%2F3775%2F336427%2Foriginal_Invisalign.jpg%3F1609182237)
Invisalign
If you have crooked, rotated, gapped, or misaligned teeth, you may wish to undergo an orthodontic procedure. Invisalign® is a popular alternative to braces that straightens your smile using removable, thermoplastic trays. Best of all, the aligners are clear, so treatment is discreet.
What to Expect during Recovery
Maintaining Your Results
Proper care is essential for maintaining the results of your smile makeover. Here are a few recommendations from our dentist and team in Fountain Valley:
Brush Daily
Brush your teeth at least twice every day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive toothpaste.
Floss between the Teeth
Clean between the teeth once daily. If you do not like regular floss, ask us about interproximal brushes or dental picks.
Attend Dental Visits
Visit your dentist regularly for exams, cleanings, and preventative care. This is crucial for long-term oral health.
