Having an attractive, beautiful smile is not just to make your appearance impressive but it can make you more confident, and boost your self-esteem as well. Not all persons are blessed with an aesthetic smile whilst many people ruin their smile appearance due to bad lifestyle habits.
On the other hand, aging also affects how the teeth look thereby the smile appearance fades away. Luckily, you have a variety of smile rejuvenation solutions that are collectively called smile designing treatment.
What is smile designing?
Smile designing (also known as smile correction/smile makeover) is a cosmetic treatment that tends to beautify or recreate your ideal smile. In simply, everyone can obtain the aesthetic, heroic smile they want regardless of the factors disrupting their smile design.
Below are some of the common oral complaints that can be addressed by smile correction treatments:
- Broken teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Missing teeth
- Problems in teeth texture
- Gummy smile
- Problems in teeth alignment and spacing
- Fuller lips
- Excessive fat in lips or cheeks
Besides revamping the smile beauty, certain smile designing procedures help develop a masticatory system where mouth muscles, mouth joints also can function normally along with the teeth and jaws.
What are the smile designing treatments available?
Smile correction is not a single procedure. It includes a broad range of corrective procedures to create a more symmetrical look. Cosmetic dentists have to take a look at various aspects like existing dentition’s condition, skin tone, tooth color, facial appearance, etc.
It is because those factors are carefully considered to detect the unaesthetic smile’s root cause thereby a treatment plan encompassed with appropriate procedures to create an aesthetically pleasing smile. Depending on the underlying problem, a patient might need various procedures ranging from basic cosmetic dental procedures to surgical procedures at times.
Here is the collection of smile design treatments performed widely that are categorized as follows:
1) Basic cosmetic dental procedures
They involve simple procedures like placing veneers, eliminating stains on teeth surfaces, and others to revamp the smile design. The common procedures include:
- Teeth whitening
- Teeth cleaning
- Tooth-colored fillings to fill up the space
- Dental bonding
- Dental jewelry
- Cementing tooth-colored restorative appliances like veneers
2) Teeth straightening procedures
People with visibly crowded or crooked teeth are advised to get teeth straightening treatment as part of smile redesigning. The patient should wear teeth braces to push back the teeth to their actual position thereby overcrowding and uneven bite problems are addressed.
3) Enamel shaping
Enamel Shaping is a non-surgical cosmetic dental procedure in which a small amount of tooth enamel is removed using fine diamond burs or sandpaper strips. The procedure tends to shape and smooth the uneven surfaces of a tooth. It is also helpful in addressing minor surface abnormalities like little chips in a tooth.
4) Dental Implants
Dental implants are one step ahead of other teeth restoration procedures. It is highly preferred to reconstruct a single missing tooth, multiple teeth, and even a full dentition because the implant teeth embed with the jaw bone thereby they can mimic the functionality of natural teeth as well as appearance.
If your beautiful smile is ruined due to missing teeth, go for teeth implants instead of dentures.
5) Periodontal procedures
They aim at improving the smile appearance by fixing the defects in the appearance of your gums. For instance, the black patches on gum tissues can impact your smile negatively when they appear. Right?
Hence dentists perform gum bleaching procedure that vaporizes the discolorations in gums. Here are some other cosmetic gum treatments:
- Gummy smile correction
