Smile Makeover Services in Jackson, Flowood and Brandon
A cosmetic procedure, smile makeovers are any number of procedures developed to improve the appearance of your smile. These procedures can include tooth implants, whitening techniques, veneers and bonding (composite). Patients that request a smile makeover do so because they would like to improve their appearance, not because it is medically necessary.
We will meet with you to discuss some of the issues that you have with your mouth and provide feedback on what changes are realistic and their associated cost. After this meeting, you can decide which services will have the most benefit.
Some of the problems that a smile makeover can address are the color of your teeth, crooked or overlapping teeth, any number of missing teeth, cracking or chips and decay. In addition, lips and cheeks can be filled out to improve the overall appearance of your smile.
Popular requests of our Jackson dentist office include tooth lengthening (which can create a youthful look), size of the teeth (correcting proportion) and improving tooth texture and character. Any crowns applied will not need to be replaced for 10 to 15 years. Other procedures may need regular upkeep every few years or after a period of 5 years.
