What is a Smile Makeover?
Customized smile enhancement involves combining different cosmetic dentistry and restorative procedures to transform the overall appearance of your smile while secondarily correcting functional issues. A smile makeover in Chicago, IL, is equally ideal for repairing minor imperfections or restoring more significant issues.
The goal is to improve the look of each tooth while creating a symmetrical smile that complements your facial structure, lips, and skin tone. In addition to delivering dramatically prettier smile aesthetics and greater self-confidence, a smile makeover can improve your eating ability, overall oral health, and quality of life!
What to Expect on Your Smile Makeover Journey
The first step on your smile transformation journey starts with a consultation with our restoration dentists in Chicago, IL. At your initial visit, we perform a thorough dental evaluation to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy, take diagnostic imaging, and ask about your smile goals. With advanced skills in cosmetic dentistry, we take a comprehensive and meticulous approach to smile makeovers.
We pay close attention to every detail and consider your preferences and expectations. Our team will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan customized to your unique needs and a smile design that fits your face naturally. Although every smile makeover journey is different, the result is always a fantastic smile!
Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns are porcelain tooth caps that restore teeth with extensive decay or improve the cosmetic appearance of chipped, worn down misshapen, minor, or severely discolored teeth. Dental bridges are a cost-effective option to replace one or more missing teeth to restore proper function and natural aesthetics. Dental bridges require a false (pontic) tooth that attaches to modified and crowned adjacent teeth on each side to bridge the gap left by the missing tooth.
Occlusal Adjustment
Occlusion is the way your teeth are aligned and how they fit together. An occlusal adjustment (smoothing and contouring) is often required after getting a new dental crown or bridge. During an occlusal analysis, our cosmetic dentists check your bite for areas where teeth aren’t coming together properly when your jaw is closed. Biting down on a specialized piece of paper leaves traces of color in areas with excessive contact or pressure. These interferences are incrementally and carefully removed until a normal bite is restored.
Porcelain Veneers
When natural teeth have cosmetic flaws such as gaps, chips, minor crookedness, or significant discoloration, porcelain veneers are a one-stop solution. A veneer is a thin shell made of natural-looking porcelain covering a single tooth's front surface. Our porcelain veneers are hand-fabricated by highly skilled master ceramicists to blend in seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Professional-grade whitening treatment penetrates deep into your teeth' inner layers to remove deep and surface-level stains. If you prefer, we can customize trays filled with whitening gel that you can wear in the comfort of your own home.
Orthodontics
Invisalign® is a subtle, comfortable, evidence-based method for achieving a straighter smile. It involves wearing BPA-free plastic aligners to straighten crooked or misaligned teeth gently and discreetly. The clear aligners are virtually invisible and can easily be removed for oral hygiene and eating. While the entire process can take as little as six months, the average treatment lasts about 12–18 months.
