A smile is one of the first things you notice when you look at a person’s face. Having a great smile is vital to enhancing your appearance. At Aquila Dental, patients that are self-conscience about their smile are provided with Chandler smile makeover treatments to fix their teeth concerns and boost their self-esteem.
Smile makeover treatment options
1. Veneers
Veneers consist of porcelain or resin composite materials. They are used to treat smile concerns such as broken, cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth. Before placing your veneers, your dentist will evaluate their fit and coloration to ensure that they blend with your natural teeth. After cleaning your mouth thoroughly to remove bacteria, your dentist will grind the surface of your tooth and use dental cement to attach the veneers to your tooth. Your dentist will then use ultraviolet light to harden the cement quickly.
2. Cosmetic crowns
Dental crowns are caps made to replace damaged teeth. Crowns treat patients with cracked and chipped teeth or large cavities. For patients with missing teeth, dental crowns can fill the gap in combination with dental bridges or implants. During a dental crown procedure, your dentist will file down the damaged tooth and create an impression of your filed tooth. During your next visit, your dentist will remove the initially placed temporary dental crown and cement the custom made one to your tooth.
3. Composite fillings
Composite fillings to repairs damaged teeth. The damage may be from decay, chipping, fracturing, or cracking. The composite filling procedure involves removing the damaged part of your tooth and filling it with a composite filling. Visible areas of your tooth will require aesthetically suited composite fillings that blend with your teeth’ color. However, composite fillings are durable but not permanent and usually require replacement.
4. Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening procedures fix discolored and stained teeth. During your teeth whitening procedure, your dentist will move your lips out of the way using a lip retractor. Your gums are also protected from bleaching agents using a gingival barrier. Afterward, your dentist will apply a 15%-30% concentrated hydrogen peroxide gel to your teeth and speeds up the whitening process by applying a high-powered light. Your dentist will repeat the hydrogen peroxide application several times until he achieves maximum results. Although long-lasting, the results of teeth whitening are not permanent and usually require proper management.
5. Bonding and contouring
A dental bonding procedure enhances the shape, size, and color of teeth. Dental contouring further improves the shape and size of teeth. These procedures are ideal for patients with uneven, gapped, cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth.
6. Invisalign
Invisalign involves using plastic dental aligners to correct orthodontic concerns such as gapped, crooked, or misaligned teeth. When designing aligners, your dentist will first take impressions of your teeth and use them to make suitable aligners for you. During your next visit, your dentist will fit the aligners on your teeth. With time, the aligners will give your teeth a straightened appearance.
7. Dental implants
Dental implants are titanium posts that are inserted into your jaw bone to replace the missing tooth root. They provide an anchor to dental crowns. During a dental implant procedure, your dentist will first make an incision on your gum. Afterward, your dentist will screw the dental implant onto your bone tissue. For patients with inadequate bone tissue, grafting is necessary to enable secure implant insertion.
