Is Cosmetic Dentistry Right for You?

A beautiful smile can light up your features, make you feel more confident, and give the impression that you are youthful and successful. Sadly, many people are not naturally endowed with a smile that they are eager to show off. The good news is that Dr. Makadia is a cosmetic dentistry expert. He and our team would love to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. But is cosmetic dentistry right for you? Here are a few signs that it might be:

You Want to Improve the Appearance of Your Teeth

Cosmetic services are versatile; they can correct a range of imperfections, including:

• Chips and cracks
• Discoloration
• Asymmetry
• Misalignment
• Excess or uneven gum tissue
• Missing teeth
• And more!

Aesthetic treatments are highly customizable. If you have a specific idea of what you would like your teeth to look like, bring in some inspiration photos. Our team will do our best to help you achieve your dream look.

Your Mouth Is Healthy

Purely cosmetic services are intended for use on teeth and gums that are in good health. If you have cavities, active gum disease, or other oral health conditions, they may require restorative care before you can move forward with a smile makeover. Do not let other oral conditions stop you; we can treat those issues for you.

Do not be disappointed if you have to wait to get veneers or teeth whitening; many restorative services have inherent aesthetic benefits. For example, metal-free restorations can restore the strength and shape of damaged teeth. Gum disease treatment can reduce swelling and discoloration in the gums. And tooth replacement can make sure you have a full smile to show off!

You Have Realistic Expectations

Cosmetic dentistry is remarkable; it can totally transform your teeth and have big benefits for your overall appearance. Of course, it is important to have realistic expectations. Depending on which services you undergo, it might take a few weeks or longer to achieve optimum results. You should also be prepared to maintain your new look. Thorough oral hygiene and other good daily habits are essential!

Dr. Makadia and our team can help you understand the road ahead. After an exam, we can recommend a treatment plan. We might suggest that you receive veneers or Lumineers to hide imperfections, gum recontouring to make your smile more proportionate, or cosmetic bonding to hide minor imperfections. There are many possibilities! Feel free to ask any questions that you may have about our recommendations.
