What Is Included in a Smile Makeover?  

added on: October 6, 2023

Ponderosa Family Dental doesn’t want patients to live with a smile they’re unhappy with. This not only affects your self-consciousness in social situations, it can have a long-term impact on an individual’s confidence levels. That’s why we’ve designed the Smile Makeover, which can transform a stained, damaged, or simply dull smile into one that’s bright, beautiful and begging to be shown off. These types of makeovers are often a combination of multiple cosmetic treatments, all designed to enhance or replace your natural teeth and allow your smile to truly shine. 

Before embarking on the smile makeover journey, our team will examine your current teeth and oral health, while taking into consideration any underlying issues or roadblocks. This can sometimes include treating periodontal disease or replacing missing teeth. Before beginning cosmetic treatments, we want your mouth to be as healthy as possible as this increases the chances of long-term success.

The Smile Makeover Process  

Smile makeovers often require a combination of treatments and procedures to have the most impact. These can include tooth and gum contouring, dental bonding, dental crowns, veneers, and even teeth whitening. Depending on what the patient’s goals are and what the current status of their natural teeth is, our team will create an individualized plan to tackle each issue to completely revitalize their smile. 

Each patient is different, meaning that each smile makeover is different as well. The customizable approach is one of the many reasons this treatment is so popular. There is no one-size-fits-all to the perfect smile and our team is excited to work with you and take the necessary steps to give you a smile you love. 

Contouring allows for any irregularities to be evened out, while composite dental bonding is used to repair minor chips and cracks. If the patient has damaged teeth, dental crowns can be used to repair and add stability to these teeth. Don’t fret if you feel that your teeth are too stained or misshaped to be fixed, as porcelain veneers can create a brand-new, fresh surface. Patients who want a whitening touch-up will enjoy our deep bleaching treatment that provides long-lasting results.

Are You Interested in Transforming Your Smile?  

At the end of the day, our goal with each smile makeover is for each patient to leave Ponderosa Family Dental with the smile of their dreams. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself smiling and laughing excessively, just to show off your beautiful new grin! Dr. Benjamin De Graff and the entire team at Ponderosa Family Dental welcome you to the practice and we’re excited to embark on this once-in-a-lifetime journey with you.
