If you would like a smile make over but are not sure what the best way of achieving it is, your first step is to find a cosmetic dentist. Smile design helps visualize the final result before any cosmetic dental work is actually done. Cosmetic dentistry is as much an art as it is a dental science. Often the first step is basic orthodontics, in order to get a good occlusion that won't present future problems and to shape the face. But even orthodontics can be done with cosmetic considerations thanks to Invisalign.
More often than not a smile make over will include cosmetic tooth bleaching. While this procedure used to take several days of home use of a whitening gel it can now be done in the office in about 45 minutes with results of teeth that are up to 12 shades whiter thanks to Zoom 2. In the search for beautiful white tooth it may also be a good idea to replace old crowns or amalgam fillings with white fillings that are almost completely undetectable.
There are other great cosmetic procedures that can be used for a smile make over. Gum contouring is an often overlooked procedure that can make dramatic changes in a persons smile. Porcelain veneers can also be used for certain situations rather than whitening or bonding. In replacing a missing tooth a dental implant can be used. Implants are strong, act like real teeth and are impossible to detect. It is even possible to get a pair of cosmetic dentures to replace a pair that may be getting old and don't look that good.
