Smile makeover / Smile lift
This procedure has revolutionized cosmetic dentistry. It has even been called "the scalpel free face lift" as it is a non invasive alternative to what plastic surgeons have been offering for years.
The dentist will design the smile according to the patient's face shape e.g. people with rounded faces would benefit from slimmer, more defined tooth shapes and square, masculine faces can be made to look more feminine by rounding off sharp edges and altering line angles to give the illusion of more conically shaped teeth.
- Wrinkles and smokers lines can be diminished by plumping out the lips. This is done by thickening the top portion of the veneer so that the top lip is pushed out resulting in a fuller, more sensual mouth as well as diminishing wrinkles, laugh lines and smokers lines.
- In addition to the cosmetic benefits there are health benefits associated with a smile makeover. Teeth that are properly aligned do not wear down as quickly. There is less stress as teeth are not impacting on each other. Teeth are easier to clean, gums are healthier and therefore there is less risk of decay and infections that result in decay.
- Most importantly there are psychological benefits. Almost all adults (99.7%) believe a smile is an important social asset. Smile Makeover results are life changing! Patients report a surge in confidence. We take pride in our "artistic" abilities and are often touched by the patients' reaction when they see their new smile for the first time.
