What are smile makeovers?

Smile makeovers include various cosmetic dental procedures aimed at improving the look of your teeth and smile. At Desert Dental, the cosmetic dentists specialize in restoring beautiful smiles with affordable and professional cosmetic dentistry services.

What types of treatments does a smile makeover include?

Desert Dental is a full-service dental practice that offers many treatments for your smile makeover.
Types of treatments used for smile makeovers include:

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments. During your one-hour in-office teeth whitening treatment, the team can lighten and brighten your teeth six to 10 shades whiter.

Cosmetic onlays and inlays

Cosmetic onlays and inlays are porcelain fillings that look like your natural teeth.

Gingival contouring

Gingival contouring is a dental procedure that reshapes your gum line to remove excess tissue to improve your “gummy” smile.

Cosmetic gap filling

With cosmetic gap filling, your dentist uses a tooth-colored composite resin to cover and camouflage gaps between your teeth

Dental implants

Dental implants are a permanent replacement option for missing teeth. The implant is a prosthetic tooth root that your dentist at Desert Dental surgically places in your jawbone

Over time, your jawbone grows around the dental implant to lock it in place. Your dentist then completes your smile by attaching a bridge or crown to the implant.

Dental veneers

Dental veneers are thin porcelain shells that cover the front part of your teeth. Desert Dental uses dental veneers to correct gaps between teeth, misalignment, cracks, stains, and chips.

Dental crowns

Dental crowns are caps for your teeth that replace diseased or damaged enamel. They also serve as an anchor for a dental bridge.

Dental bridges

A dental bridge is a dental restoration that “bridges” the gap caused by missing teeth to complete your smile.

Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a dental specialty that corrects overcrowded, misaligned, or crooked teeth. At Desert Dental, the team uses braces, Invisalign® clear aligners, and retainers to improve the alignment of your teeth.

Smile makeovers at Desert Dental may include one or more of these restorative or cosmetic dentistry treatments.

What happens during consultations for smile makeovers?

When you visit Desert Dental for a smile makeover consultation, your cosmetic dentist spends time talking to you to understand your smile concerns and goals. They also conduct an oral exam and may take digital X-rays.

After your cosmetic dentist completes your exam, they talk to you about your smile makeover treatment options. They work with you to develop a plan that helps you achieve your perfect smile.
