Too Shy to Flash Your Pearly Whites? Smile Makeovers Makes All the Difference
One of the most infectious facial expressions is your smile. It’s hard for your neighbors, co-workers, friends and even strangers not to smile back when you greet them with your pearly whites. However, it can be embarrassing and even frightening to smile if you have visible dental problems, thinking that the people who see your teeth will make fun and laugh at you.
But you don’t have to live with your broken or damaged teeth! With the latest in dental technologies, our clinic has created a special Smile Makeover program that will provide you with complete assessment and treatment recommendation to bring back your beautiful smile.
How to Assess Eligibility
How do you know if you need a smile makeover? Some cases are easy to point out, such as those with chipped, broken, or missing teeth. But there are others who are hesitant to undergo this process, thinking that their smile is not that bad. Here is a simple checklist for you to consider if you might be a candidate for a smile makeover.
- Do you feel any kind of fear, anxiety, shame, sadness, hesitation, nervousness when you smile?
- Do you see any particular negative characteristics of your teeth (discolored, misaligned, crooked, gapped, broken, chipped, missing)?
- Did you ever experience getting rejected because of your smile?
- Has anyone looked oddly at your teeth or asked you something inappropriate regarding your dental health?
- Has anyone recommended a dental procedure to you apart from a dental professional?
- Is your smile one of your characteristics that you aren’t very happy about?
- Do you feel that improving your smile can also improve your overall mood and outlook in life?
If you think you are a good candidate for a Smile Makeover, Dr. Karen Gordon will need to do a professional assessment of your dental health and then render a treatment recommendation.
Procedures Involved in a Smile Makeover
Here is the step-by-step procedure that you will undergo once Dr. Gordon declares you a candidate for a Smile Makeover.
- Assessment: Dr. Gordon will assess your overall dental health.
- Identification of Problem: During and following the assessment, Dr. Gordon will present and discuss all of your dental problems.
- Line-up of Solutions: Dr. Gordon will also provide a line-up of the best solutions to resolve each of your dental problems. The final solutions will be based on the patient’s best interests and budget.
- Plan of Action: Upon determining the preferred solutions for all of the dental problems, Dr. Gordon will provide a plan of action. This includes a timeline of when each procedure will be scheduled depending on which one needs to be done first. For instance, if a patient has a missing , crooked tooth or discolored tooth. For the missing tooth, Dr. Gordon will likely recommend replacement with an implant and crown, invisible braces to straighten the teeth for the crooked tooth and an in-office tooth whitening solution to restore the natural whiteness of the teeth for the discolored tooth.
- Implementation: Dr. Gordon will provide a schedule and perform all of the necessary procedures to complete the Smile Makeover. She will also closely monitor the patient to ensure that the procedures are indeed achieving the desired results for the patient.
- Finalization: Once all of the procedures are finished, Dr. Gordon will make a final assessment to compare the dental health before the Smile Makeover was done. If the results are positive, the Smile Makeover was a success and the patient can now confidently flash a smile anytime. However, if some issues still need to be addressed or other follow-ups are required, the patient will continue the program until the process is complete.
Benefits of a Smile Makeover
Why should you consider having a Smile Makeover? Here are some of the biggest benefits that this procedure can offer:
