Albertville, AL
A smile makeover can transform your smile, but it can also change your entire life! It enhances your overall appearance, boosting the confidence you have in yourself. Let’s take a look today with our cosmetic dentist in Albertville at what you can expect during your transformation with a smile makeover from Wall Street Dentistry!
First, let’s chat
Our first phase of your smile makeover will include a comprehensive exam and consultation during which you can share your goals. During this meeting, our Albertville cosmetic dentist will create an individualized treatment plan just for you and your smile and may schedule any preliminary steps — like treating cavities or gum disease — that may need to be addressed before scheduling cosmetic procedures.
Creating your perfect smile
Every smile makeover treatment plan — just like every smile — is unique. Your plan may include one or more of the following treatments:
Teeth whitening
Brightening teeth by just a few shades can make a drastic — and immediate — difference in the appearance of your smile. Professional teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic treatment requested in our Albertville dentist office. It can remove years of stains from your teeth due to coffee, wine, dark sodas and tobacco use in just one affordable visit to our office.
Veneers
Teeth with intrinsic, or internal, staining due to trauma or certain medications can be whitened with the use of porcelain veneers, which are wafer-thin, custom-made shells that adhere to the front surfaces of teeth. Veneers can also be used to make small teeth appear larger, creating a seamless smile with your other teeth. Veneers can also be used to cover minor imperfections like chips, cracks, gaps between teeth and slightly crooked teeth.
Dental bonding
Like veneers, dental bonding can correct minor imperfections in teeth in less time and with less expense than veneers. During bonding, our cosmetic dentist in Albertville will apply a resin to the affected tooth, shaping and adjusting it to match the shade and size of the natural teeth around it, and will cure the resin with a special light.
Orthodontics
Many teens and adults want all the benefits and beauty of perfectly straight teeth without having to go through the awkward stage of traditional metal braces to get them. Clear aligners like Invisalign have become an increasingly popular way to correct a bite and gradually straighten teeth discreetly, comfortably and in usually half the time it takes braces.
Gum contouring
If you have a “gummy” smile or gum tissue that doesn’t look consistent, we can help by reshaping the gum line to improve the appearance of your smile.
Dental implants
If you’re missing teeth or have a tooth that needs to be extracted, dental implants are a popular restorative treatment. Implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone. The jawbone fuses around the posts in a process known as osseointegration. Once healed, a custom-made crown matching all your natural teeth is then placed on the implant post.
How long does a smile makeover take?
The length of time it takes to perfect a smile depends on the involved treatments and how much time is involved in each of them. Teeth whitening can be completed in a visit or two, but implants take more time because of the various periods of time that have to be factored in to heal between procedures. Dental bonding takes just one visit whereas veneers usually take two. Sometimes, our dentist may need to provide a temporary fix before having you visit for the final fitting of a prosthetic. And, of course, we will follow along with your post-procedure care and have you return to our office for routine follow-up appointments.
How can a smile makeover help me?
When we say a smile makeover can transform your life, we’re not kidding! Smile makeovers improve your appearance, giving you the confidence you need to tackle every day at work and in your social circles. But cosmetic dentistry doesn’t help only with aesthetics. Improvements like dental implants, crowns and orthodontics can restore functionality by improving a bite. Orthodontics, in particular, make it easier to clean tooth surfaces and between the teeth, which improves overall oral health.
