What is Included in a Smile Makeover?

Whether your teeth are discolored or you have a prominent tooth gap, there’s no need to keep your smile under wraps. A customized smile makeover at Desert Dental in North Hollywood, CA, can be transforming.

If your eyes are the windows to your soul, then your smile must be the ultimate expression of your personality. When you’re displeased with your smile, it can hurt your self-esteem and erode your confidence in social situations. Your best smile, however, gives you the assurance you need to be yourself in any setting.

At Desert Dental, in North Hollywood, CA, Brian Shahangian, DDS, and Bita Shahangian, DDS, combine artistry with advanced dental science to create beautiful, balanced, natural-looking smiles. Here’s what you can expect.

The diagnostic and planning phase

A smile makeover is not a single procedure but a comprehensive, customized plan. The process begins with a detailed evaluation of your oral health and aesthetic goals.

A successful outcome depends on a healthy foundation of gums and bone. Your Desert Dental dentist uses digital X-rays to see beyond the surface and identify and address underlying issues, such as bite alignment and bone density.

Common treatments in a makeover

Your makeover will likely include a combination of restorative and cosmetic treatments. Common procedures include:

Professional Whitening to remove deep-seated stains to brighten the enamel.
Dental Veneers, which are thin porcelain shells used to correct chips, gaps, or permanent discoloration.
Invisalign®corrects crowding or spacing issues with clear aligners. No mouthful of metal
Crowns and bonding are used to restore the shape and strength of individual teeth.
Dental implants provide a permanent replacement option for missing teeth. The implant is a prosthetic tooth root that is surgically placed in your jawbone. Once the implant fuses with your jawbone, a bridge or crown is attached to it.

Since many smile flaws have multiple viable solutions, our team spends time reviewing each option in detail. Our dentists work with you to design a smile makeover that not only helps you reach your aesthetic objectives but also exceeds your expectations.

Maintaining your new smile

The longevity of a makeover relies heavily on post-treatment care. While the materials used, such as high-grade porcelain for veneers, are highly durable, they still require maintenance.

That means brushing twice daily, flossing once a day, and visiting Desert Dental for checkups and professional cleanings every six months.

Why wait?

A complete smile makeover can enhance your appearance and let your personality shine. Better yet, most people only need two or three targeted treatments to achieve outstanding results.
