FACTORS THAT AFFECT A SMILE
There can be different reasons for someone not liking their smile. The following are some of the cosmetic improvements that can be brought about by a smile makeover:
Tooth Color – The color of your teeth can make or break your smile. Someone having discolored or dark teeth looks aged, whereas the one having white teeth gives a youthful appearance, because white teeth enhance a well-shaped smile. Your tooth color can be changed by either veneers, natural tooth colored composite restorations (instead of amalgam or silver dental fillings) or teeth whitening.
The color of your teeth is of major importance while performing various procedures, such as crowns, bridges, dental implants, composite bonding, and porcelain veneers. Therefore, cosmetic dentists are trained and skilled in maintaining a natural tooth color and still provide you with a new white and bright smile.
Tooth Length And Proportions – Generally, an appealing smile means one in which your central two front teeth are dominant, with a length-width ratio of 5-4. This further lends a proportion to the other teeth to ensure that the smile line is balanced. The length of your teeth can be improved with porcelain veneers, composite bonding, and laser dentistry procedures.
Missing Teeth – Missing teeth can be replaced by partial dentures, bridges, and implants.
It is quite obvious that missing teeth affect the facial aesthetics; however, it also adversely affects the oral health. It hampers your biting, chewing and increases the risk of tooth decay.
Tooth Characterization And Texture – The character and texture of your teeth are important components of a perfect smile. So while performing a smile makeover, dentists have to blend aesthetics and functionality. The feminine/masculine character of your smile can be enhanced using these smile makeover procedures.
Spacing And Alignment – The spacing and alignment of your teeth can be corrected by Invisalign, veneers or braces. Teeth can naturally be crooked or overlapping and have gaps in between, so cosmetic dentistry is used to give it a perfect alignment.
