Smile Makeover
Barrie, Ontario - Canada
You have probably seen television shows about makeovers. It is amazing what new clothes, a new hairstyle and professionally-applied makeup can do to create a whole new look. Smile makeovers may not be as widely publicized, but they are equally as effective in making others view you in a whole new light. Cosmetic dentist Dr. Adam Chapnick can improve your smile through one or more cosmetic dental procedures and have you flashing a gorgeous smile in less time than you may think.
Smile Makeovers and Oral Health
You would not put a new roof on a crumbling house. This analogy holds true in cosmetic dentistry. Until you have good oral health you should not undergo cosmetic dentistry procedures. Smile makeovers are not intended to hide oral health problems; they are procedures to enhance the aesthetic appearance of your imperfect, but healthy, teeth.
Dr. Chapnick and his team will perform a full dental examination prior to recommending or starting any type of cosmetic dental procedure. If there are any problem areas, he will take the appropriate measures to get your dental health in order. Potential areas of concern might be:
- Tooth decay
- Gum disease
- Bite problems
- Persistent pain
Aspects of Smile Makeovers
Once Dr. Chapnick has determined that you have a "clean slate" of oral health, you can begin to discuss what areas of your teeth are bothersome and how you would like to see your smile changed. You may have ideas of specific procedures you want done, and Dr. Chapnick may present even better options to suit your needs.
Creating your smile makeover is a collaborative process between you and Dr. Chapnick, where each party listens to the other regarding goals, expectations, and recommendations. Discussions will center on:
- How you want your smile to look
- Concerns you have about the procedures
- How much time you are willing to invest in the smile makeover process
- The amount of procedures that may be involved to achieve your desired look
Smile makeovers do not have to involve several different procedures to make a substantial difference in your appearance. Sometimes just one cosmetic dental procedure can give you the confidence you have been lacking due to an unfavorable dental situation. You and your cosmetic dentist can decide what procedures will produce the right results.
One-Month Trial Smile Makeover
Dr. Chapnick can also give you the option to try certain dental procedures before committing to them. For example, he can fit your problem teeth with acrylic dental veneers or an acrylic dental crown, rather than porcelain restorations, without bonding them permanently to your teeth. If you decide that the dental veneer or dental crown is not the right course of action, it can be easily removed without harming your teeth.
