What Can I Expect After a Smile Makeover?

Am I A Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover may help if you would like to improve the look of your teeth, or if you need several restorative or cosmetic procedures. Dr. Lievense will customize your smile makeover program to meet your goals and concerns, but it may include teeth whitening to correct stains and discoloration on your enamel. Other cosmetic treatments that may be in your plan are bonding and contouring or veneers to improve the length and shape of your teeth, and to mask small gaps between teeth. Dental restorations (bridges and crowns) may be used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. At Benjamin Lievense, DDS, we offer custom restorations so they blend with your other teeth for a seamless look.
Before you have cosmetic treatments, Dr. Lievense will need to make sure that your gums and teeth are healthy. If you have any restrictive oral health issues like a dental malocclusion or periodontal disease, then this will have to be addressed first.
