Are You a Good Candidate For a Smile Makeover?

Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you. And even if you have perfect teeth, it can lose its vibrancy over time.

Dr. Cliff Broschinsky and our team at Avalon Dental in San Ramon, California, understand how tooth problems can affect your self-confidence and oral health. If you’re in the Bay Area, we can combine several popular dental procedures to give you the stunning smile makeover you’ve been dreaming of.

Getting a smile makeover

When you’re dissatisfied with your smile, a single procedure may not be the answer. That’s why Dr. Broschinsky works closely with you to identify your concerns and then combines several different cosmetic dentistry treatments to address them.

Common smile makeover treatments include:

• Invisalign®: a state-of-the-art teeth-straightening system
• Teeth whitening: professional grade in-office or at-home bleaching systems
• Veneers: a thin porcelain shell that covers the front of individual teeth
• Dental crowns: a tooth-like cap that covers an entire tooth or implant
• Dental implant restoration: a tooth replacement set into your jawbone

What a smile makeover can do for you

To know if you’re a good candidate for a smile makeover, it helps to understand some of the most common issues we can fix. Here’s the rundown of what we can do for you with a smile makeover.

Eliminate tooth discoloration and stains

One of the easiest ways to improve your smile is with professional teeth whitening. These treatments use professional-grade bleaching agents to correct seriously stained or discolored teeth. For teeth with discoloration that doesn’t respond to whitening, Dr. Broschinsky might recommend porcelain veneers or crowns to conceal them.

Treat chips and cracks

A smile makeover not only helps conceal chipped or cracked teeth, but it can also protect them from additional issues in the future. To correct mild or moderate chips and cracks, Dr. Broschinsky might recommend dental bonding or porcelain veneers. For severe tooth damage, he may suggest dental crowns to completely cover and protect your tooth.

Straighten teeth or eliminate gaps

If you have crooked teeth or embarrassing gaps, you don’t have to suffer through the discomfort of traditional metal braces to correct them. Invisalign offers a convenient and discrete solution to teeth straightening that works up to 50% faster than other techniques. Plus, Dr. Broschinsky can also use Invisalign to treat overcrowded, rotated, and misaligned teeth during your smile makeover.

Replace missing teeth

Losing a tooth because of injury, disease, or decay does more than affect your smile; it can impact your oral health. For the tooth replacement solution that most closely resembles your natural tooth, Dr. Broschinsky recommends a dental implant. This cosmetic dentistry technique involves implanting a metal post in your jawbone and attaching a custom-made crown on top. Dental implants stay firmly in place and help maintain the integrity of your jawbone and surrounding teeth.
