Best Candidates
A smile makeover may be helpful if you would like to enhance the look of your teeth, or if you want multiple restorative or cosmetic procedures. We will personalize your smile makeover plan to fulfill your goals and concerns, but it might consist of teeth bleaching to fix discoloration and stains on your enamel. Other cosmetic procedures that might be part of your plan are bonding and contouring or veneers to correct the length and shape of your teeth, and to mask minor openings between teeth. Restorations (bridges and crowns) may be needed to replace a lost tooth or teeth. At East Haddam Dental Associates, we offer custom restorations to ensure they match your regular teeth for a seamless look.
Prior to performing cosmetic treatments, we will have to make sure your gums and teeth are healthy. If you have any restrictive oral health issues such as a dental malocclusion or periodontal disease, then this will have to be treated first.
What To Expect
Each smile makeover is customized, so our dental team will discuss exactly what to expect throughout your treatment, such as the number of visits you might require. We can work with you to plan your appointment(s) to complete each one of the procedures in your makeover. Local anesthesia will be needed before a few of your treatments; however, other sedation choices may be suggested if you require help relaxing due to dental worries or anxieties. During your smile makeover, our team will be accessible to answer any questions.
Follow-Up
As soon as your smile makeover is finished, you should keep up the health and look of your teeth using a regular home oral care regimen (both flossing and brushing daily). Along with everyday maintenance, you need to make appointments for dental examinations and cleanings at East Haddam Dental Associates so we can track your progress. With appropriate maintenance, the outcomes of your smile makeover ought to last for several years. Touch-up procedures every couple of years, such as teeth whitening, might help to refresh your results. Restorations and veneers might also have to be replaced or repaired, which will all be discussed with us in your visits.
