3 Signs You Might Need a Smile Makeover

A smile makeover can help improve your smile and your life. It is a collection of treatments capable of enhancing the appearance and function of your mouth. You may not notice the need for this transformation. If you want to know if you need a smile makeover, here are the three signs to watch out for.

1. Functional problems

Some people need a smile makeover because of aesthetic reasons. Others need it because of functional issues. Teeth may not be functioning properly anymore. Without prompt treatment, the jaw function may become problematic as well. This often leads to eating and speech difficulties.

Functional issues may result from teeth misalignment, tooth loss, or severe decay. There may also be aesthetic problems at the same time. Getting a makeover can help teeth, gums, and jaws return to their normal state. There will be no pain or discomfort anymore after the treatment of choice. The patient’s quality of life will improve. His or her general health will become better as well.

Patients with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain will enjoy the benefits of a smile makeover most. The debilitating pain of this condition can be an impediment to a patient’s daily routine. It can also affect a patient’s self-image. Failing to attend special occasions because of TMJ pain can be depressing. Effective treatment can provide lasting relief and self-assurance.

2. Aesthetic problems

It is common for aesthetic concerns to pop up one at a time. One may overlap with the other, resulting in several issues affecting the appearance of teeth, gums, or facial contours. Most patients want to correct all the aesthetic dental issues in one procedure. This is what a smile makeover can do.

Stained, chipped, and cracked teeth may be present in one case. The dentist can give a whitening treatment before taking care of the chipping with dental bonding, filling, or veneers. A dental crown can take care of these problems in one treatment. A crown can cover all the problems of the exposed tooth. This restoration can whiten and restore the damaged tooth.

Misaligned teeth and dental gaps are also common issues. For this, a smile makeover in the form of teeth-straightening treatments. Traditional braces have metal, wires, and elastics. These components can adjust the alignment of teeth. Any dental gaps can close up with this treatment.

A smile makeover can also treat disproportionate and misshapen teeth. The treatment for this may include gum grafting and gum contouring. In a gum graft, the dentist will take healthy gum tissue from the palate. The dentist will then place it over the overexposed teeth. Gum contouring involves trimming off excess gum tissue to reveal more of the hidden dental surfaces. This will make small teeth look bigger.

3. Proper oral health

Good oral health is also a sign that the patient is ready for a smile makeover. A healthy mouth can handle fast healing. This is ideal for any dental treatment. A patient who has periodontitis must undergo treatment for it first before a smile makeover.
