Transcript: Smile Makeovers with Dr. Lauren Biernacki
A smile makeover involves evaluating a patient’s current teeth—usually ones they are not happy with—and determining how we can improve them. It involves a comprehensive approach, starting with the health of the teeth and gums. First, we focus on eliminating any disease, such as performing gum therapy to get the gums healthy and addressing dental caries or cavities. Once the health aspect is taken care of, we shift our focus to improving the aesthetics of the smile.
We look at the patient as a whole and figure out how we can help them achieve their dream smile. One great success story involved a patient with severe bruxism, which means they heavily grind their teeth. This patient had ground their teeth almost all the way down to the bone, and as a result, they could no longer chew properly.
This required a significant smile makeover to restore their ability to chew. We built up both the top and bottom teeth with crowns, which are full-coverage caps on the teeth, in order to restore their vertical dimension. When you grind down your teeth, your vertical dimension decreases, causing your face to collapse. We had to build this back up, and we did so in one visit to ensure everything was even.
The patient was thrilled with the result. They expressed a ton of gratitude, which feels great and makes all the effort worth it. The patient was able to chew again, show off their teeth, and even received compliments from friends and family. He told me that a stranger complimented his nice teeth, something that had never happened to him before.
When a patient undergoes a smile makeover, getting everything healthy and achieving the aesthetics they desire, it truly transforms their life. They gain the confidence to smile. We’ve seen patients come in with more attention to their appearance, like putting on makeup and styling their hair differently. I even had an 80-year-old patient who was so excited that he dyed his hair from gray to a golden color.
A smile makeover can significantly boost a person’s confidence and even help in their career, as people are often judged based on appearance. The smile is the second thing people notice, so it’s important. It can add a lot to one’s personality when they are no longer trying to hide their teeth.
What’s a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a comprehensive approach to enhance your smile, combining various cosmetic dental treatments to achieve a perfect appearance.
Whether you’re dealing with discoloration, gaps, or other imperfections, a smile makeover can address these concerns to provide a radiant, confident smile. It’s not just cosmetic—it’s about boosting your self-esteem and overall well-being.
Components of a Smile Makeover
Each smile is unique, and so is each makeover. Our smile makeovers typically include:
Veneers and Crowns
Veneers provide a quick way to fix minor imperfections. Made of durable porcelain, they can address chips, gaps, and staining. Crowns offer more extensive solutions, covering the entire tooth if significant restoration is needed .
Invisalign and Teeth Whitening
For misaligned teeth, Invisalign offers a clear, unobtrusive way to straighten them over time. Teeth whitening can brighten your smile several shades whiter, completing the makeover.
The Smile Makeover Process: What to Expect
With advanced technology, including 3D scans and digital imaging, Brownstown Dental Care crafts a precise treatment plan tailored to your needs. This digital model allows patients to visualize potential results and make informed decisions about their treatment.
Crafting Your New Smile
The treatment begins with preparing your teeth and planning each aspect of the makeover. Temporary veneers or crowns are first put in place, allowing for adjustments before the final procedure. Once you’re satisfied, the permanent fixtures are bonded, giving you a beautiful, lasting smile.
