Smile Makeover

Your smile is unique, and improving it does not always require just one cosmetic treatment. If you have several things you would like to change, a smile makeover can combine different cosmetic and restorative procedures into a personalized treatment plan.

‍

At MacArthur Dental Arts in Irvine, CA, we take the time to understand what you want to change about your smile before recommending treatment, whether that involves discoloration, chipped or worn teeth, uneven gums, gaps, missing teeth, or alignment.

‍

What a Smile Makeover Can Address

‍

• Stained or discolored teeth
• Minor chips, cracks, and worn-down teeth
• Small gaps or crowded, crooked teeth
• Uneven gumlines or excess gum tissue
• Missing, damaged, or weakened teeth
• Differences in tooth size or proportions

‍

Not every patient needs treatment for all of these concerns, your plan is based on the specific improvements you'd like to make.

‍

Treatments That May Be Combined

‍

A smile makeover may bring together several services depending on your goals, such as professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, teeth contouring, tooth bonding, Invisalign® clear aligners or traditional braces, gum reshaping, dental implants, and porcelain crowns. The order of treatment matters, for example, orthodontic treatment may need to be completed before certain cosmetic restorations, while gum treatment may need to occur first in other cases. Your dentist will create a treatment sequence based on your individual needs.

‍

Your Smile Makeover Consultation

A successful smile makeover starts with understanding what you want to accomplish. During your consultation, your dentist will evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, existing dental work, and overall oral health, then discuss which treatments may provide meaningful improvement for your particular smile, along with the expected process and maintenance requirements.
