Combining Dental Procedures for a Smile Makeover That’s Just for You

If you’re unhappy with how your teeth look, do you avoid showing them by hiding your smile? We can help with a smile makeover to give you healthier teeth and confidence in your smile. 

Smiling is something we do naturally when we’re happy about something, but that’s not the only reason to smile. The act of smiling can improve your mood, relieve stress, lower your blood pressure, and boost your immune system.

However, several dental conditions can affect your teeth and overall oral health and make you less likely to share your smile with others.

Are you hiding your smile because of dental problems? Dr. Gabrielle Bekov and her dedicated staff at City Dental Studio in Cooper City, Florida, can help you appreciate those pearly whites again.

Dental problems that affect your smile

Reasons people may hesitate to show their teeth include:

Tooth discoloration

Your teeth are never a bright white (they’re naturally a pale yellow), but discoloration can result from gum disease, tooth decay, smoking, and other causes.

Malocclusions

Also known as misaligned teeth, this condition includes overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, and crowded teeth.

Chipped or cracked teeth

Tooth damage often results from impact injuries, teeth grinding (bruxism), and biting on hard foods. The damage can be severe enough to warrant an extraction.

Gummy smile

Also referred to as excessive gingival display, a gummy smile means too much of your gum line is visible when you show your teeth.

How a smile makeover helps

At City Dental Studio, we offer a variety of smile makeover options to help brighten and improve teeth, such as:

Teeth whitening

This common treatment helps brighten teeth with a whitening gel containing hydrogen or carbamide peroxide. We may also use a laser to accelerate the whitening process. 

Dental bonding

Chips, gaps, discoloration, and cracks in teeth can be treated with this composite resin material that matches the natural color of your teeth. Dental bonding can also fill cavities, replace fillings, and protect teeth experiencing gum recession.

Clear aligners

Misaligned teeth can be managed with dental braces that gradually move teeth into proper alignment. At City Dental Studio, we use Invisalign® clear aligners to help straighten teeth and improve their appearance.

Veneers

These thin, porcelain or resin-based composite coverings are applied to the surfaces of teeth to help with discoloration or chips, cracks, or gaps.

Gum contouring

We perform this procedure to reshape your gums and remove excess tissue, allowing you to show more of your teeth. 

There are a variety of ways to help you feel better about your smile. If you’re ready to see what we can do for you, request an appointment by phone or online with Dr. Bekov and her team at City Dental Studio today.
