Who May Be a Candidate for Smile Makeover?
You may be a candidate if you have a concern such as tooth color, shape, or proportion concerns, worn, chipped, or uneven teeth, spacing or alignment concerns, or older restorations that no longer match the surrounding smile. Candidacy also depends on the health of the teeth and gums, the amount and quality of supporting tooth or bone structure, your bite, medical considerations, and whether the expected benefit justifies treatment.
Digital Smile Planning
Digital Smile Design is available and may be used to help evaluate proportions, communicate possible changes, and coordinate treatment. Digital planning is a communication tool rather than a guarantee of a specific result; final recommendations depend on clinical findings and individual anatomy.
Building a Plan in the Right Order
A successful cosmetic plan starts with health. Active decay, gum inflammation, bite concerns, or unstable restorations may need attention before elective cosmetic work. Once the foundation is stable, cosmetic procedures can be sequenced in a way that protects the result and avoids unnecessary treatment.
