Glendale Cosmetic Dentist Explains Common Treatments Used in Complete Smile Makeovers

Written by Dr. McKay on Oct 7, 2014

Our Glendale cosmetic dentist office offers cosmetic dental treatments to suit a wide variety of patients. Some people simply want to lighten their enamel, or repair a damaged tooth with dental bonding. Other people, however, are looking to achieve total smile makeovers—they want to change multiple aspects of their smiles for optimal aesthetic results.


In this short article our dental team is reviewing the cosmetic treatments that we commonly employ and combine during smile makeover treatment. We hope that this explanation will help you determine whether a smile makeover might be right for you.


Straightening Teeth


Many people want to have smiles that are straighter and more seamless. Maybe these patients have crooked/crowded teeth, or teeth with large gaps between them. These people may also suffer from bite misalignments. To help these patients we may use:


· Invisalign


· Lumineers


· Veneers


· Cosmetic Bonding


· Dental Enamel Reshaping


Whitening Enamel


Dull and dark enamel is another thing that can make your smile look less than stellar. If you want to brighten your teeth, you might benefit from:


· Professional Whitening Formulas—these lighten natural enamel


· Dental Bonding


· Veneers


· Lumineers


Achieving a Balanced Smile


If some of your teeth look too large or too small, your entire smile will look off balance. This can also happen if some of your teeth are poorly shaped. To fix these issues, our dental team turns to:


· Lumineers


· Veneers


· Dental Bonding


· Enamel Contouring


As you have probably noticed, there are some treatments that can correct multiple issues at once (Lumineers/veneers for example). In order to find out what combination of treatments might be right for your situation, please contact our helpful dental team.
