When a person wishes a brighter, straighter and more attractive smile they visit a cosmetic dentist for a New York smile makeover. Many people are not happy with the smile they were given, they are self-conscious, wishing they had whiter teeth or that their teeth were straighter. Other people are embarrassed when they smile as it exposes a missing tooth or obvious amalgam fillings. As a result in these perceived short comings people simply do not want to smile and laugh unless they do it behind their hand. There are some that even avoid having their photo taken because they are so unhappy with their teeth.
For the cosmetic dentist to achieve the smile the patient is hoping for it may be necessary for more than one procedure. The number of procedures is strictly dependant on the anticipated outcome and the dental issues the patient has, no two cases are alike. In many cases a New York smile makeover starts with straightening crooked teeth or improving the patients bite. In many cases the cosmetic dentist will opt for an invisible aligner which straightens the teeth with a minimum of visual impact. Many people have unsightly gaps between their teeth; this too is something that can be easily corrected. If the problem is missing teeth they can be replaced with one or more teeth implants as part of the entire smile makeover.
As people age discoloration of the teeth is usually a problem. No matter how well the person cleans his or her teeth stains that are the result of eating; drinking and smoking can leave the teeth looking dull. Whitening treatments are very popular, there are a number of different approaches that can be taken; a cosmetic dentist can noticeably improve the looks of the teeth in just one appointment. Metal fillings that have been used over the years can be removed and replaced with natural looking material and if the patient shows too much gum when smiling, this can easily be corrected as well through a procedure known as gum contouring.
A New York smile makeover starts with a visit to a cosmetic dentist. The dentist will evaluate the condition of the teeth and gums and prepare options that will be discussed with the patient. During this first visit the patient gets the opportunity to tell the dentist his or her hopes and aspirations for the improved smile.
