Smile Makeovers: What Cosmetic Dentistry Can Do for You

Smile Makeovers: What Cosmetic Dentistry Can Do for You

Studies suggest that smiling confidently boosts socially perceived attractiveness and signals intelligence and trustworthiness. If you’re unhappy with the look of your pearly whites and dream of a brighter, straighter, more polished smile, a smile makeover might just be the glow-up you need. 

Visit with cosmetic dentistry specialist Kenn Kakosian, DDS, PhD, and the team at DentAlign NYC in Midtown East, Manhattan, New York, to achieve the flawless smile of your dreams. Here’s what cosmetic dentistry can do for you.

What is a smile makeover?

Think of a smile makeover as a combination of customized cosmetic dental treatments designed to upgrade your grin. You could take advantage of veneers, bonding, teeth whitening, and Invisalign®, to name a few. 

In a plan our team personalizes for you, a smile makeover involves procedures that eliminate imperfections and improve the function and appearance of your smile. 

5 benefits of smile makeovers

The perks of getting a smile makeover at DentAlign NYC include:

1. Brighter smile

Professional-grade teeth whitening can brighten a flattering smile, significantly enhancing its appearance after just a single treatment session. You might choose in-office or home-based whitening treatments that use a hydrogen peroxide gel to reduce stains and brighten your teeth. 

Other cosmetic dentistry methods that can help you achieve a whiter and brighter smile include veneers and crowns.

2. Straighter teeth

Straight teeth and an aligned bite can elevate the look of your smile, make it easier to keep your teeth clean, and reduce the risk of dental complications down the road. Consider Invisalign or other orthodontic solutions at DentAlign NYC as part of your smile makeover to boost function, appearance, and confidence. 

3. Great-looking teeth and gums

A smile makeover eliminates numerous smile imperfections, such as chips, cracks, discoloration, breaks, gaps, crowding, and a gummy smile. Many such imperfections can lead to tooth pain, gum problems, or other complications when left untreated — which is why choosing a smile makeover is a win-win.

4. Improved smile function

Smile makeovers help make your smile stronger, longer-lasting, and more functional. For example, the right procedures can improve your speech, bite, overall chewing ability, and jawbone strength. 

Smile makeovers can also eliminate pain and dysfunction related to your smile, restoring your oral health — which is linked to your overall health and well-being.

5. Higher confidence

Having a gorgeous smile can drastically boost your self-confidence. It enhances quality of life and the way you and others perceive your appearance and approachability. Smiling confidently often attracts other people to you and boosts trust and likability.

Choosing the right cosmetic dentistry solution

Dr. Kakosian takes digital dental X-rays when necessary, examines your gums and teeth, and discusses your cosmetic dentistry goals to determine which procedures are right for your smile makeover. Whatever you don’t like about your smile, he can create a personalized plan that elevates the look and function of your teeth, smile, and overall oral health.
