A smile makeover is a cosmetic dental procedure that can include a number of different things, such as teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, gum reshaping, and crown lengthening. It aims to improve upon the appearance of your teeth, so you have a more attractive smile.
Smiles are one of the most noticeable parts of someone’s face; therefore, it is important to have a nice, healthy look. According to our experience providing smile makeovers in Singapore, at Dental Designs, the majority of people who want to get their smile reconstructed usually opt for some form of teeth whitening. For those whose teeth do not fit into this category or who may need additional procedures, we may recommend composite (tooth-colored) fillings and porcelain veneers. Smile makeovers are also recommended for people that have severely damaged teeth following accidents.
How Smile Makeovers Work
There are several reasons why you may want to get a smile makeover in Singapore. In most cases, it all boils down to one thing: improving the appearance of your teeth.
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular ways that people choose to do this. After having your teeth analyzed by a dentist, you may be given at-home trays with the bleaching solution in them for around two weeks until your teeth are deemed to have reached the desired shade of white.
However, this procedure can be costly and is not always suitable for everyone, particularly if they have already damaged their tooth enamel. Porcelain veneers are another viable option for smile makeover in Singapore that can give your teeth an instant straight white look right when you wake up each morning without cutting into your gums or leaving any unsightly marks on your teeth!
Sometimes white fillings will be used instead though it may take longer for this to have an effect. A more recent innovation is gum reshaping for those that are unhappy with the appearance of their gums.
This procedure may involve removing some bone from around the teeth, so they are no longer covered by tissue, using either a laser or drill. Although this will temporarily leave you with tooth-shaped holes in your mouth, they will soon heal over and blend into the surrounding tissue. Unfortunately, however, it does not give quite as good results as veneers.
How to tell if a Smile Makeover is Right for you
If you are seriously considering getting a smile makeover in Singapore, then there is only one way to find out whether it would suit you or not, which is through getting a consultation at your local dentist’s practice. They will be able to assess your teeth and gums and give you a diagnosis as to whether the treatment would be suitable for you or not.
It is important that you have realistic expectations going into it, though as cosmetic dental procedures are not always 100% guaranteed, with some people even requiring more than one session to get the results they want. Only through having a consultation will you know whether this may apply to you or if any additional work is needed, so do not think about opting out of the procedure just because of it! In most cases, however, patients have found that treatment has been very beneficial and easy for them, and their new smile has already made them feel more self-conscious and confident.
What to do before a getting a Smile Makeover
It is always best for you to go into any cosmetic dental procedure in the best possible state of health. This means that it is not advisable for you to smoke or drink alcohol in excess, as this will affect your healing time and could prevent the procedures from working effectively in some cases.
If you have any dental infections or gum problems, it may be worth speaking to your dentist about them beforehand to treat them before getting started on the main work. Carrying out healthy activities such as brushing twice per day and flossing at least once should also help speed up the process of getting a new smile, as will eating foods that promote healthy teeth, such as those containing calcium and vitamin D. In most cases, patients have found that following these simple tasks has been enough to ensure they got the results from their smile makeover that they were hoping for.
How to have a Successful Smile Makeover?
For your smile makeover in Singapore to be successful, it is important that you follow your dentist’s advice from start to finish, as they will know how best to get the results you are after. One of the most important factors in achieving a fantastic new smile that looks good and healthy is keeping track of your brushing and flossing habits during treatment.
Never slack on these activities because if they become irregular, the results won’t be satisfactory. So try to find some time every day, either in the morning or night, before going to bed when you won’t be disturbed so you can spend some time looking after your teeth properly!
Will Smile Makeover Change Your Teeth?
Getting your smile makeover in Singapore will not change the number or shape of your teeth, but it can improve their appearance if they are stained or discolored. It is important that you know that treatment does not always work for everyone, so if you were hoping to get the treatment to change the number or size of your teeth, you should speak to your dentist about this before getting started so they can give you a proper diagnosis.
Even when treatment works, it is important that patients understand why it worked and that what they see in the mirror IS NOT natural teeth. Sometimes, they will still be made from porcelain or ceramic, just like veneers, but only because the final results cannot be achieved with real teeth.
Final Thoughts
There is no denying the fact that a smile makeover can be an effective way of changing how your teeth look, but it is not always 100% guaranteed to work. It is therefore important for you to do some research into both the procedure itself and the dentist who will carry it out beforehand, as this will then give you a better idea of whether it is something that would benefit you or not.
