Do chipped, crooked, missing, or discolored teeth have you hiding your smile in photos or turning your camera off during online meetings? If you're tired of feeling self-conscious about your smile, it may be time to make your move and look into a smile makeover. This is a personalized treatment plan that addresses not only cosmetic smile concerns but also improves chewing function, tooth and bite alignment, resulting in an enhancement to your oral health and overall well-being.
At Carewell Dental and Facial Aesthetics, we take smile makeovers one step further by offering treatments, such as EMFACE® and Exion™, which improve facial contours and deliver smoother skin for a rejuvenated, more youthful overall appearance. These facial aesthetic treatments combined with a smile makeover are the ultimate gift you can give yourself, restoring smile and facial aesthetics, bite and chewing function, and best of all, your confidence!
Your Carewell dentist works closely with you to customize and personalize your treatment plan so that we ensure that you achieve your desired results and are thrilled with your outcome. Here's what you should know about a full smile makeover in Rutland, MA.
The Intrinsic Link Between Oral Health and Facial Harmony
Did you know that your oral health is directly related to your facial appearance? It's true. Think of your teeth as the foundation and support system for your cheeks and lips.
For example, if you are missing a tooth, without replacement, your remaining teeth may shift, causing bite misalignment. Missing multiple teeth can result in bone loss, which can leave your face with a sunken appearance that ages you faster. Crooked teeth or bite misalignment may also contribute to facial asymmetry.
What Are the Benefits of a Smile Makeover?
Besides the aesthetic smile benefits you've been dreaming of, a smile makeover can offer several unseen advantages that you might not have considered.
- A Youthful Look: A properly aligned, whiter, brighter smile can take years off of your appearance.
- Better Chewing Function: It's easier to chew and eat your food when your teeth and bite are correctly aligned, in good repair, and doing the jobs each tooth was designed to do.
- Improved Digestion: When you can properly chew and eat your food, your food is easier to eat, and digestion improves.
- Confidence Boost: Your confidence is enhanced when you have a smile you're proud of, which could help you seem more friendly and approachable, and improve your personal and professional relationships.
- Enhanced Nutrition: It's easier to enjoy a broader range of foods when you can chew properly.
- Easier Home Care: Correctly aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss, making you less susceptible to developing common problems like tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.
- Better Jaw Function: A bite that functions correctly protects your jaw joint (TMJ) from pain and common problems associated with temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
Your cosmetic dentist will recommend restorative and cosmetic dental procedures that go hand-in-hand to create not only the smile you've always wanted, but one that will support your best oral health.
The Art of Restoration: Your Smile Makeover
What cosmetic and restorative procedures might our dentists recommend for your smile? Here are a few.
- Tooth-Colored Fillings: Made with natural-looking composite resin, tooth-colored fillings eliminate small areas of tooth decay without marring the appearance of your tooth.
- Dental Bonding: Uses composite resin material to cover cosmetic concerns like gaps between teeth, tooth size discrepancies, and tooth discoloration.
- Porcelain Veneers: Thin porcelain shells that cover the front surface of a tooth to change its size, shape, and shade. Capable of providing a complete smile transformation. Think "Hollywood" smile.
- Porcelain Crowns: Completely cover a damaged, decayed, or fractured tooth to strengthen it and improve its appearance.
- Dental Implants: The gold standard in tooth replacement because an implant replaces your tooth and root. Capable of replacing one or multiple teeth by supporting a dental bridge or denture.
- Professional Teeth Whitening: A quick boost for dull-looking or yellowed teeth. It can also be used in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures to complete your new whiter, brighter look.
- Invisalign® Clear Aligners: Straighten crooked teeth without the hassle of wearing traditional braces. Instead, Invisalign uses clear aligners to move teeth with ease and discretion.
Depending on your unique needs and smile goals, our dentists may recommend one or a combination of these treatment procedures. A smile makeover treatment plan can often be divided into phases to better fit your budget and busy schedule.
Renewing Your Skin's Vibrancy: The EMFACE & Exion Difference
Now, imagine the results you'd achieve by combining your newly revitalized smile with one or both of our facial aesthetic treatments?
EMFACE: A New Approach to Facial Rejuvenation
EMFACE relies on concentrated heat, high-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES), and radio frequency (RF+) to gently smooth and lift facial muscles without the need for surgical procedures and minimal recovery time.
Exion: Replenish Your Skin from Within
Exion uses RF and ultrasound technology to stimulate the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid from within. This is the duo that works together to minimize wrinkles, skin laxity, and fine lines.
