There is nothing quite like the “big reveal” when patients see their renewed smiles for the first time after a full smile makeover. After years of hiding their smiles, these patients from Manchester, Georgia, feel comfortable enough to smile confidently and with pride. Often, they carry themselves differently. They can hold their head up a little higher. With their chewing and speech function restored, they can enjoy all their favorite foods again without pain. Or, they don’t hold back from speaking or laughing.
At Manchester Dental, we consider it a great privilege to support these transformations in our patient’s smiles and lives. We also consider it a great privilege to empower everyone with trustworthy information about all treatments and services available at our office. Let us introduce you to our approach to “making over” smiles by answering four common questions about this service.
Yes! The idea behind smile makeovers is to elevate your natural beauty. We plan and design treatments in a way that complements the features of your face. Your smile may be renewed and enhanced, but it will never look like it “belongs” on someone else’s face. For instance, your veneers will always be sized right. They won’t protrude or look too big for your face. Likewise, they won’t look too bright for your skin tone and other personal features. After all, your smile is a central feature of your face. When smile makeovers are done right, they can dramatically boost the aesthetics of your face. They can also bring much-needed support to the tissues of the face among those who may have sustained bone loss.
Certainly, but that is not the only thing we do during a consultation. During this initial visit, Dr. Abel Aguilar will discuss what you don’t like about your smile. Be prepared to share any examples of smiles you like or admire. He also looks at the condition of the gums, bones, and tissues that support the teeth. X-rays and photos may be taken, especially when Dr. Aguilar needs to examine hard-to-see areas of your teeth or mouth closely. Dr. Aguilar uses all of this information to determine the best next steps. He will discuss recommended treatments with you and welcome any questions during this process. It would help if you made a well-informed decision about your treatment.
The answer to that question is as varied as the smiles that we treat! It all depends on your needs and goals. If you have broken, damaged teeth and gums, restorative dental treatments are necessary for the function and health of your smile and its appearance. Our dental restorations look like real teeth and may be made in just one visit (same-day porcelain crowns). We even offer a cosmetic alternative to braces to straighten crowded, crooked, and misaligned teeth: Invisalign®. Restorative treatments may also be combined with cosmetic dental procedures for full-mouth rehabilitation. Every patient who gets a crown or bridge also gets to go home with a delicious container of soup made by Dr. Aguilar’s wife.
Professional teeth whitening is one of the fastest and easiest ways to boost the appearance of your smile. We offer two options to conveniently, effectively, and comfortably whiten your teeth at home or on the go. We also craft veneers that look and feel natural. Veneers may be made from stain-resistant and strong porcelain. When secured by Dr. Aguilar, they cover up everything from gaps to chipped teeth.
