Smile Makeover | Cosmetic Dentistry, Everett

Introduction

Many people eventually need restoration for a tooth that has undergone decay. In some cases, people experience tooth damage throughout the mouth, requiring thorough dental treatment. The first thing to understand about this treatment, often called Smile Makeover, is that you can overcome it.

With his particular attention to detail, Dae Ho Kim DDS in Everett, WA, can bring healthy smile to your mouth, in a stress-free manner with respectful treatment.

Your Everett dentist, Dr. Kim recognizes a team approach may be necessary to best serve all aspects of your oral health. If necessary, he can partner with the right dental or health care professionals to maximize the effectiveness and comfort of your treatment.

Tooth Color

Silver or amalgam dental fillings can be replaced with natural, tooth-colored composite restorations, while teeth whitening can improve the color of stained or dulled teeth.

Tooth color and shading are important considerations during the evaluation of and preparation for various procedures, including porcelain veneers, crowns, bridges, composite bonding and dental implants.

Alignment & Spacing

Teeth that are crooked, overlapping or have gaps between them can be straightened and aligned when necessary through orthodontics or Invisalign and improved with veneers.

Cosmetic dentistry procedures require regular oral hygiene care and may require maintenance over time.

For example, teeth whitening must be repeated on occasion in order to maintain brightness. Porcelain veneers may chip or break off and need replacement. Permanent composite bonding may stain and require enhancement or replacement. Dental crowns typically require replacement after 10 to 15 years. Gummy smile improvements may also require enhancement over time.

Tooth Length

Long teeth lend a youthful appearance. Aging produces wear and tear that often results in shorter teeth, and a gummy smile also can make teeth appear shorter. A smile makeover treatment for shorter teeth may include reshaping and lengthening the two front central teeth with composite bonding or porcelain veneers.

If you have a gummy smile, your Everett cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kim may provide treatment to modify the gum line and lengthen the appearance of the teeth using laser dentistry procedures. You may also be referred to a periodontist for crown lengthening if necessary.

Tooth Proportions

Your cosmetic dentist in Everett, Dr. Kim will examine your teeth to determine if they are in correct proportion with each other. Most people recognize a pleasing smile as one in which the two central front teeth are dominant and have a width-to-length ratio of 4-to-5. This proportion guides the length and width of other teeth in the esthetic zone so that the smile line appears balanced.
