What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover uses two or more cosmetic treatments to improve the appearance of your teeth, gums, or smile. 

Before creating a treatment plan, the Las Positas Family Dental team takes various factors into account, including your:

  • Skin tone
  • Hair color
  • Facial appearance
  • Tooth color 
  • Jaw alignment

Afterward, they ask what you like and dislike about your smile and clarify your goals. 

What types of treatment do smile makeovers involve?

The Las Positas Family Dental team develops precise, patient-centered smile makeover treatment plans. They might recommend:


Veneers

Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the teeth at the front of your mouth. They cover minor imperfections, such as pointy, smaller-than-average, or unusually shaped teeth. Most people get six or eight veneers to ensure a balanced, symmetrical smile.


Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening removes stains caused by coffee consumption, tobacco use, or poor oral hygiene. The Las Positas Family Dental team offers in-office teeth whitening and take-home teeth whitening trays.


Invisalign
®

Your dentist might prescribe Invisalign if you have crowded or crooked teeth or a misaligned jaw. Invisalign uses removable oral appliances to improve the alignment of your smile. It’s a quicker and more discreet alternative to metal braces.


Dental implants

Dental implants are metal screws inserted into your empty tooth sockets. The implants replace your natural tooth roots, providing a base for crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures.


Cosmetic gum contouring

If you have excess gum tissue or a “gummy” smile, your dentist might suggest cosmetic gum contouring. This procedure uses handheld tools to recontour your gum line, improving its aesthetic appearance.


Bridges

A bridge fills a gap in your smile where a tooth (or teeth) used to be. A bridge restores your smile and prevents the teeth on either side from moving out of place.


Same-day crown

Your dentist might recommend a same-day crown if you have a decaying or severely damaged tooth. Las Positas Family Dental has a CEREC® machine onsite that mills custom dental crowns in under an hour.

Can I see what the results of my smile makeover will look like?

Yes. Before moving forward with treatment, the Las Positas Family Dental team creates a  “preview” of your new smile using a variety of cutting-edge technologies, including:

  • Intraoral scanners
  • Dental study models
  • Composite bonding mockups
  • Dental imaging software

Your provider also shows you before and after photos of previous patients to give you an idea of what to expect.
