Comparison of popular smile makeover treatments
Smile makeovers can significantly improve the way your smile looks. Here are a few different types of treatments that can be part of a smile makeover.
Tooth replacement
Having damaged or missing teeth replaced is one of the most popular parts of having a smile makeover. The process of tooth replacement is also one of the most involved, in comparison to other minor procedures.
Most replacement options require multiple appointments in order to custom create the replacement. For example, dentures have to be fitted and created over multiple appointments. Dental implants require surgery, as well as follow-up appointments to ensure that the fusing of implant to jaw takes place properly.
Veneers
A popular smile makeover treatment is veneers, which have grown in popularity over the years. They are thin coverings that go over the front of teeth to improve appearance and function. Teeth that are severely damaged from decay or discoloration can make use of veneers.
Veneers are also commonly used for teeth that are just naturally too short or too small. They can help even out a person’s smile through a simple procedure. In comparison to other smile makeover procedures, veneers are pain-free and can significantly improve one’s appearance. They do not require anything invasive or surgical, which makes them a great option for someone looking to make minor improvements to their smile.
Whitening
One of the most popular smile makeover treatments is teeth whitening, which in comparison to other treatments, is fairly mild. Teeth whitening does not require anything invasive or surgical and can be completed in one or two appointments. There should not be any pain, which is another reason it is much easier than other smile makeover procedures.
It is important to note that teeth whitening and veneers are not known to induce any pain. However, they both do tend to cause sensitivity, which is helpful to know beforehand.
