A smile makeover corrects both cosmetic and functional issues, improving how your teeth look while also helping them come together properly when you bite and chew. Treatments include replacing metallic dental fillings with natural tooth-colored restorations; whitening; and closing gaps, crooked teeth, or overlapping teeth with orthodontics, Invisalign®, or veneers.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Unlike traditional orthodontics, smile makeover Bourbon County KY are designed to address both the function and aesthetics of your teeth. Cosmetic treatments can fix crooked teeth, gaps, fractured or chipped teeth, discolored tooth enamel, and more. They can also close spaces or fill in missing teeth. They can even correct mild-to-moderate bite misalignment, which is commonly addressed with Invisalign or dental implants.
After a personalized consultation, Dr. will take x-rays and digital impressions to identify the underlying factors that impact your smile. She’ll incorporate your feedback and design a mock-up of your new restorations. Only after you’re satisfied with the look of your new smile will she carefully bond and finish them.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is an important part of any smile makeover. Over time, teeth will become discolored from foods and beverages. This is especially true for coffee, tea, berries, red wine and smoking. Teeth whitening is an affordable cosmetic dentistry treatment that can improve the look of your smile and boost your self-confidence.
In addition to removing discoloration, this cosmetic dentistry treatment will also close gaps between teeth and whiten old dental fillings. This can help restore your smile to its former glory and give your face a youthful glow.
Our team will use specifications from your X-rays and digital impressions to pinpoint the aesthetic problems with your smile. We will then review these with you, and incorporate your feedback until you are fully satisfied with the results of your smile makeover Bourbon County KY. Our on-site dental laboratory allows us to design, create and fine-tune cosmetic restorations more quickly than most other providers can, giving you the best possible results in less time.
Veneers
Using ultra-thin wafers of sculpted porcelain, veneers are bonded to the front of teeth to dramatically improve their size, shape, alignment, color, and luster. The result is a smile that is healthy, strong, and beautiful. In some cases, our dentists will need to remove a very thin layer of enamel from the teeth before bonding the veneers, but this minimally invasive cosmetic treatment is more conservative than crowns and produces extremely natural-looking results. This procedure can correct the appearance of teeth that are stained by foods or beverages, severe discoloration from smoking or chronic bruxism, or yellowing due to aging.
Veneers are also a great solution for covering gaps and chips, as well as reshaping crooked or misshapen teeth. They can even help correct the appearance of a “gummy” smile caused by excessive gum tissue. Veneers are durable, stain-resistant, and gum-tolerant. The cosmetic porcelain is available in many shades, allowing patients to achieve the desired level of whiteness and brightness.
Invisalign®
Invisalign® is a cutting-edge teeth-straightening process that allows patients to address mild-to-moderate bite misalignment without the aesthetic impacts associated with traditional metal braces. It’s also more convenient, as patients can still brush and floss their teeth, and there are fewer side effects than with metal braces.
After a thorough oral exam, X-rays, and digital impressions have been taken, Dr. Miller will carefully plan the details of your smile makeover. She may recommend treatments like teeth whitening, composite bonding, dental implants, porcelain veneers, or Invisalign® to correct your concerns.
