What Is A Smile Makeover?

No one is born with a perfect smile, which is why when you see someone who has straight, attractive, white teeth, it’s usually because they’ve had a smile makeover. A smile makeover goes beyond responding to dental problems as they arise. A smile makeover is a comprehensive plan that’s uniquely suited to your own facial features and aesthetic preferences.

Our caring team and Dr. Myers focus on transforming ordinary smiles into brilliant, stunning smiles through our smile makeover process. Regardless of what your smile looks like today, we are confident that we can improve your smile.

What Is The First Step?

Communication is vitally important in the smile makeover process, which is why at the first consultation we will listen intently to what you want to accomplish. We want to know what you want for your smile. Once you’ve shared your goals with us, we can prepare a plan for treatment. Cosmetic dentistry offers an amazing array of lifelike tooth restorations and treatments.

Enamel Shaping: A Quick And Painless Process

Enamel shaping is a process by which Dr. Myers uses a sanding disc to carefully remove small amounts of tooth enamel and then polish the area. This process only requires a single visit and is sometimes necessary alongside dental bonding procedures. Enamel shaping can be done to hide imperfections or to change a tooth’s appearance or shape.

When Is Enamel Shaping Done?

There are a few different circumstances that make enamel shaping a great option, such as:

  • Removing overlapping areas
  • Smoothing out rough spots
  • Eliminating minor chipping
  • Contouring pointy edges
  • Correcting minor discrepancies in size

Are You A Candidate For Enamel Shaping?

Not all dental problems can be solved with enamel shaping. More serious cases generally require orthodontic treatment or restorative dentistry to correct, but shaping is a great option for improving the appearance (and, in some cases, even the function) of teeth with smaller imperfections. If your teeth have uneven edges or minor chipping, enamel shaping could be the perfect solution for you.

Other Emerald Isle Services

At Emerald Isle Smiles, we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry treatments to help you achieve the smile of your dreams. Dental bonding is an excellent option for repairing chips, gaps, or minor imperfections, using a tooth-colored resin to restore your teeth seamlessly. If you’re looking for a straighter smile, Invisalign provides a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces, using clear aligners to shift your teeth into alignment. For a complete transformation, porcelain veneers can conceal stains, misalignments, and other imperfections, creating a flawless, natural-looking smile. If brighter teeth are your goal, our professional teeth whitening treatments can remove years of discoloration. We want to leave you with a dazzling, radiant smile. No matter your cosmetic goals, our team is here to craft a personalized plan to help you look and feel your best.
