Everyone loves a beautiful smile. A nice smile can light up a room, it can cheer up someone’s day, and it can demonstrate your shining personality. However, sometimes – especially with age – our smile can lose its luster. Our personality may be just as bright and warm, but our smile doesn’t reflect this. In these cases, you can actually find a smile makeover dentist who specializes in restoring people’s smiles quickly and painlessly, even if you’re missing teeth.
What Does a smile makeover dentist do?
A smile makeover dentist gives your teeth and face a complete overhaul. For example, at Tribeca Advanced Dentistry, a cosmetic dentist can use 3D computerized graphics to design a new smile for you, even demonstrating how your teeth will look before a procedure is performed.
Smile makeover procedures include teeth whitening, cosmetic gum lifts, and porcelain veneers that can help even out your smile, improve your tooth-to-gum ratio, and whiten your teeth. Porcelain veneers, for example, cover stains (and prevent the tooth underneath from getting stained). They can also cover up chipped or badly shaped teeth. Instead of spending years in uncomfortable metal braces (which can make things more difficult, especially as an adult) porcelain veneers are just one way to correct a smile quickly and efficiently.
A gum lift is another type of smile makeover. With this procedure, the shapes of the gum line are raised for a better smile. This minimally invasive surgery sometimes includes a combination of treatments including porcelain crowns.
What can a makeover do for you?
Aside from the mental, social, and emotional improvements a smile makeover can provide, such as greater confidence, a better sense of self-worth, higher self-esteem, and greater acceptance in social situations, the health benefits of a smile makeover are also plentiful.
For example, chipped, missing, uneven, or broken teeth cause immense inconveniences such as affecting your eating habits, which can sometimes lead to malnourishment. Poor chewing habits can affect your digestion and problem teeth can also impact the way you speak and speed up tooth decay causing even more dental problems that require expensive treatments such as a root canal procedure or infectious gum disease problems.

Who can eligible for a makeover?
If you want to look younger, boost your self-image, and protect your teeth – then you’re a prime candidate. Smile makeovers can take anywhere between a couple of weeks to a couple of months to complete. Although, with Tribeca Advanced Dentistry’s Teeth-in-a-Day procedure, most smile makeovers can be done in a single visit.
How to care for your teeth after a smile makeover
The way you care for your new smile is similar to how you should always care for your teeth.
- Make sure to get regular dental check-ups and cleanings (about every 6 months)
- Floss at least once daily
- Maintain a healthy diet (diets high in sugar can cause tooth decay)
