When watching TV or a movie, have you ever admired a famous person’s smile and thought, “I wish I had teeth like that”? The truth is that most stars do not naturally have picture-perfect teeth; they enlist the help of a skilled cosmetic dentist. You can do the same! Dr. Makadia and the team at Sunrise Dental Service are ready to talk to you about your treatment options and show you that cosmetic dentistry isn’t just for celebrities! Let’s talk about a few ways in which we may be able to enhance your smile.
Veneers/Lumineers
Veneers and similar treatments, such as Lumineers, are extremely popular among celebrities. That is because these services can powerfully transform teeth in just a few appointments. They involve the use of custom-made sheaths of porcelain that we place on the outward-facing surfaces of teeth. They are therefore able to hide a range of aesthetic imperfections, including chips, stains, small gaps, and more.
Gum Recontouring
What if the issue that is stopping you from having a red carpet smile is excess gum tissue or an uneven gumline? Gum recontouring may be able to help. This minimally invasive surgery involves the use of a soft tissue laser, which Dr. Makadia can use to trim away unwanted gum tissue and reveal more of the underlying dentition. As a result, your teeth may look even, and the overall proportions of your smile will be more attractive.
Lifelike Restorations
Some people feel self-conscious about their teeth because they have old metal crowns or bridges that stand out against the natural color of their enamel. Fortunately, that unsightly metal can be replaced. Ceramic restorations are shade-matched to blend in with the natural color of your teeth. They look so lifelike that onlookers may have no idea that you had any work done on your smile.
Total Smile Makeover
For some people (including celebrities), a single cosmetic service might not be enough to help them achieve their dream smile. Their dentist may have to combine multiple treatments. For example, teeth whitening is often performed prior to the placement of veneers or Lumineers. Gum recontouring may also be necessary before the placement of restorations.
Teeth Whitening
White teeth are a staple of a beautiful smile. Unfortunately, teeth naturally incur stains over time. To address this issue, we offer both in-office and take-home whitening treatments. They use powerful bleaching formulas to break up pigment molecules in the tooth enamel, resulting in a smile that is several shades brighter.
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t the exclusive domain of the rich and famous. It is widely available, and it may be just what you need to feel like a star — even if your name has never been on a magazine cover.
