Smile Makeover in Gibsonia & Pittsburgh, PA
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a customized treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic and restorative procedures to completely transform the appearance of your smile. At Chips Dental Associates, we design smile makeovers tailored to each patient's unique goals, facial features, and oral health needs at our Gibsonia and Pittsburgh offices.
Unlike a single cosmetic procedure, a smile makeover takes a comprehensive approach to improving your smile. It addresses multiple concerns at once, such as discoloration, chips, gaps, misalignment, missing teeth, uneven gum lines, and worn or aging restorations. Your treatment plan may include two or more procedures coordinated in a specific sequence to deliver the best possible result.
Common Smile Makeover Treatments
Every smile makeover is different because every patient's needs are different. Some of the most commonly included treatments are porcelain veneers to reshape, resize, and brighten teeth, professional teeth whitening to remove stains and brighten your overall smile, dental implants to replace missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking restorations, porcelain crowns to restore damaged or weakened teeth, dental bonding to repair chips and minor imperfections, orthodontics including braces and Invisalign to correct alignment issues, gum contouring to create a balanced and symmetrical gum line, and full mouth reconstruction for patients with extensive dental concerns.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
If you feel self-conscious about your smile or avoid smiling in photos, a smile makeover may be right for you. Candidates typically have one or more cosmetic concerns they want to address and are in good overall oral health or are willing to complete any necessary restorative work before cosmetic treatment begins. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your teeth, gums, and bite to determine the best combination of treatments for your goals.
The Smile Makeover Process
Your smile makeover begins with a detailed consultation at our Gibsonia or Pittsburgh office. During this visit, we discuss your goals, take digital X-rays and photographs, and use intra-oral cameras to examine your teeth and gums closely. We then develop a personalized treatment plan that outlines each procedure, the recommended sequence, and an estimated timeline.
Depending on the scope of your makeover, treatment may be completed in a few visits or spread over several months. We coordinate each step to minimize your time in the chair and maximize your results.
