Any health issues will be addressed and corrected before any cosmetic work begins. Health is the foundation of all attractive smiles. From correcting any bite problems (that can cause TMJ and other painful symptoms) to restoring individual teeth, your dentist will ensure that your smile is healthy before enhancing its appearance. When the foundation is ready, you can move on to the "artistry". You and your dentist will discuss your goals and expectations of your new smile. What do you want your smile to look like? What don't you like about your smile that you want changed? Together, you will determine the "style" of your new smile. Your course of care will be determined by type of procedures required to enhance your smile. It may be as simple as one-hour smile whitening. You may chose to have porcelain veneers placed on your teeth to create a white, straight, even smile. You may have your gum line re-contoured to reduce the appearance of a "gummy" smile. Perhaps just replacing unattractive metal fillings with natural looking porcelain restorations is all you need to make your smile look great. There are options of Implants and Ceramic (Nickel Free) crowns as well. Maybe you'll have just one procedure; maybe you'll benefit from a combination of procedures. The possibilities are endless.
