Smile Makeovers
in Sutherland

A smile makeover can do wonders for the aesthetic appearance of teeth, and a few key factors will help determine whether you’re a good candidate for the procedure.

• You should have generally good oral health. It means healthy gums and teeth free of tooth decay and other dental health problems.
  
  
• You should also be in good overall health, as a smile makeover may include dental surgery, and certain medical conditions can complicate the procedure.
  
  
• You should have multiple cosmetic concerns that you would like to address. For example, if you’re unhappy with discoloured teeth, damaged teeth, and crooked teeth, a smile makeover may be right for you.

We invite you to schedule a consultation appointment at The Smile Space in Sutherland Shire so we can help you determine your suitability for a smile makeover.

With the advancements in dental technology, a smile makeover can be done with less invasive techniques. In most cases, local anaesthesia is all that is needed to numb the area. You may feel mild pressure during the procedures but shouldn’t experience pain. 

Smile makeovers are a relatively comfortable dental experience for patients. So if you’re thinking about a smile makeover, the good news is that you shouldn’t feel any pain. And the results will be worth it. You’ll be ready to take on the world with a beautiful new smile.

Teens can undergo most cosmetic dental procedures involved in a smile makeover, as long as they are in good oral and overall health. In fact, many orthodontic and cosmetic dental procedures can be performed on teens. One exception is professional in-chair teeth whitening – teens can only get this cosmetic treatment if all of their permanent teeth have fully erupted. Other popular dental treatments for teenagers include braces, porcelain veneers, and clear aligners. 

So if your teen is looking to address some aesthetic concerns, a smile makeover may just be the thing for them. Please don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation appointment at The Smile Space in the Sutherland Shire. We can assess if your teen is a candidate for a smile makeover.

A smile makeover is a unique process because it is different for everyone. The procedure can vary depending on the individual and what they want to achieve. Some people may only need a few aesthetic touches, while others may require more extensive dental work. For example, in-chair teeth whitening can be completed in a single clinic visit, while porcelain veneers and dental crowns may require two or three visits. 

Dental implant placement is a surgical procedure and can take six to nine months to complete. Invisalign clear braces can take anywhere from six months to a year to achieve desired results. If you are considering a smile makeover, be prepared to invest time and effort into achieving your goal. But however long the process may take, the result will be a beautiful, healthy smile that you’ll be proud to show off.

A complete smile makeover can involve any number of procedures, depending on a patient’s needs and goals. Common procedures include:

• Tooth whitening treatment
• Dental veneer treatment
• Dental crowns
• Dental bridges
• Dentures
• Dental implants
• Clear aligners
• Braces

To find out which procedures are right for you, consult a qualified dentist who can assess your individual needs and goals.

Your smile makeover is an investment in your appearance and your confidence. Like your natural teeth, your smile makeover needs to be properly cared for to maintain its results.

• Observe a good oral hygiene routine to keep your smile looking great. Brush and floss teeth regularly.
  
  
• Use non-abrasive toothpaste when brushing to avoid damaging your teeth.
  
  
• Change your toothbrush every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed.
  
  
• Visit your dentist regularly, preferably every six months, for dental check-ups and professional teeth cleanings.
  
  
• Avoid sugary foods and drinks as much as possible because they can cause tooth erosion and tooth decay.
  
  
• Eat hard and sticky foods in moderation, as they can also damage your teeth.
  
  
• Avoid smoking, as it can discolour your teeth and damage gum tissue.
  
  
• Wear custom mouthguards if you play sports or participate in other activities that put you at risk for dental injuries.
  
  
• Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth during sleep (bruxism).
  
  
• Don’t use your teeth as tools (for opening packages and bottles), as this can cause chips and cracks.
