If you are researching smile transformations, you have probably heard claims that cosmetic dentistry can provide you with a ‘perfect smile’ or a ‘celebrity smile.’ Are these superlatives simply exaggerations? We invite you to judge for yourself.
Schedule a no-pressure smile makeover consultation with Doctor Mantis of Mantis Dentistry & Implant Center. You can discuss your smile makeover goals and see before and after photographs of actual patients. doctor Mantis can show you what your new smile could look like.
A smile makeover involves multiple procedures which may include the following:
Tooth Implants
A dental implant is a metal (usually titanium) rod implanted into the bone to replace the missing root of a tooth that has been extracted. The crown and supporting structure are securely attached to the post.
Orthodontia
Orthodontic alternatives include traditional metal or ceramic braces, ‘behind-the-teeth’ (lingual) braces, and clear aligners.
White Fillings
If you had cavities in the past, you may have old amalgam fillings. White fillings match your surrounding teeth, dramatically beautifying your smile without crowns.
Dental Crowns
Many different kinds of crowns serve different purposes. We carry out an intensive examination to ensure the crown you get is perfect for you and your smile.
Inlays/Onlays
Inlays/onlays are indirect fillings, which means that they are created in a lab and placed whole on the tooth. A traditional direct filling is applied to the tooth while the material is malleable and then shaped by the dentist. Where possible, an inlay or an onlay can be a less-invasive replacement for a complete crown.
Composite Veneers
Veneers can fix chips, cracks, minor tooth misalignment, tooth discoloration, unattractive tooth shape, and disproportionate tooth size.
Teeth Whitening
There is nothing like an outstanding white smile to give you optimal confidence.
Dental Bonding
Dentists use bonding to fix tooth issues caused by decay, chips, or cracks. Large spaces between healthy teeth can be filled with bonding material, and bonding can protect tooth roots if the gums have regressed.
Enamel Shaping
Just one slightly misshapen tooth can downgrade the characteristics of a smile even if all the other teeth have an attractive appearance.
Gum Contouring
If you have a gumline that is too low or too high and detracts from the presentation, gum contouring can reshape the gumline and perfect your smile.
