These days everyone wants the perfect smile. Sadly, many of us have some form of dental issue that means that our smile lets us down. Having a New York smile makeover can help you achieve a perfect smile no matter what it looks like at the moment.
Cosmetic dental treatments are by far the safest way to get that smile, the dentist works on improving the look of your teeth using a variety of techniques and materials to repair damage to them and to build upon them. The dentist will work with you to help you improve your oral health through proper brushing and flossing which is important if the dental improvements are to last.
Very often patients will see a big improvement in their smile after just one visit to the dentist. Then every further visit to the cosmetic dentist will show even greater results as you and the dentist work towards completing your New York smile makeover.
The dentist will start by assessing what work is necessary on your teeth and then adding any other changes that you want. They will then create a timeline of treatments that will give you a healthy mouth and a winning smile.
The process will start when the dentist carries out a professional cleaning to remove built-up plaque and tartar on the teeth, this is important as it will reduce the chances of cavities and gum disease in the future.
Any existing fillings will be checked for damage and replaced if necessary, in most cases any new fillings will be in a material which can be chosen to match the color of your teeth, making them invisible under normal conditions.
If you have any broken or badly chipped teeth you may need to have them capped. A cap or crown is a false tooth that is constructed to match the surrounding teeth, The existing broken tooth is cleaned and sealed to stop further damage and is shaved down to allow the cap to fit perfectly.
If you are missing a tooth the dentist might suggest an implant as part of your New York smile makeover. An implant is a false tooth that is attached to a titanium post that is implanted into the jaw bone, when the process is finished the look and function of the implant is identical to any natural tooth.
The cosmetic dentist will also check the alignment of all of the teeth and will offer advice on the best way of straightening any that are out of position. This may involve using veneers or the use of invisible aligners which will straighten your teeth over time.
There are a number of cosmetic procedures available to the dentist who is going to give you a complete New York Smile Makeover. You are invited to make an appointment with Dr. Shekib to discuss giving you an award winning smile.
