One of the many great things about cosmetic dentistry is that you don’t always need more than one procedure to change the appearance of your smile. Combining two or more treatments, however, is a powerful way to completely transform your teeth, overall look, and self-worth. Every patient is different, so the duos and trios you select will be unique to you, but there are some common combos that really deliver.
Prepless Veneers and Laser Gum Lift
A common reason patients pursue prepless veneers is because they want to make their short or juvenile-looking teeth longer and more mature. Their teeth may not show much when they smile or their gums may show entirely too much.
The first step in this combo of cosmetic dentistry is getting a laser gum lift. Lasers precisely reshape the gum line, reveal more tooth enamel, and make room for longer veneers. The veneers are placed and new teeth are quickly made visible in this major revamp.
Teeth Whitening, Prepless Veneers, and Porcelain Crowns
This grouping could work as a party of two or three. If the lower arch of teeth is in good condition but the coloring is undesirable, professional teeth whitening bleaches the teeth first. Veneers or crowns are then designed to match for a cohesive look.
Prepless veneers can be used to address the upper arch of teeth and make a smile wider, broader, and flawless. Crowns combined with a few veneers here and there conceal teeth that are damaged, decayed, or deteriorating. This pairing allows for perfection in multiple ways and rebuilds a broken-down smile, so it not only works well but looks stunning.
Teeth Whitening and Tooth-Colored Fillings
There are jumbo-sized smile makeovers that include several cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry treatments, and then there are fun-sized makeovers that include just one or two changes. Sometimes, the only thing a person needs is a small tooth correction with a tooth-colored filling and maybe a course of teeth whitening.
Dental Implants and Dental Bridges
One missing tooth is a serious oral health problem. Several missing teeth is an aesthetic problem too. You want and deserve a complete smile. If there are multiple teeth missing in the same area of your mouth, dental implants can be placed and a dental bridge attached to create a secure, long-lasting, permanent restoration.
The Route to a New Smile
You can correct multiple cosmetic or functional flaws in your smile effectively and efficiently with the right grouping of procedures. Some can even be executed during the same dental visit, further expediting the transformation of your smile and self-esteem.
