Things You Should Know About Smile Makeovers

A smile makeover is a process that involves one or several dental procedures that can fix dental imperfections and improve your dental health. 

Dr. Kinjal Patel, a leading dentist in San Jose, California, offers a wide range of dental health services to patients of all ages - from kids to senior citizens, and has helped hundreds of patients restore their confidence with smile makeovers.

This blog sheds light on what a smile makeover entails and the different types of procedures involved in a smile makeover at Varni Dental.

What Happens During a Smile Makeover Treatment?

When you visit us at Varni Dental, Dr. Patel will conduct a thorough exam to understand your dental history and the different aspects of your smile you’re looking to change. 

Dr. Patel will assess and identify any dental issues and check for alignment and spacing issues. Based on this data, she will map out a treatment plan that includes the dental procedures you require to improve your smile.

Procedures Involved In a Smile Makeover

The most common procedures Dr. Patel uses in a smile makeover treatment are: 

• Teeth Whitening

During the teeth whitening treatment, Dr. Patel or our dental hygienist will apply a concentrated hydrogen peroxide gel on your teeth to get rid of stubborn stains. The process can whiten your teeth by 3 to 7 shades in under 90 minutes.

• Orthodontic Appliances

Dr. Patel uses orthodontic appliances in smile makeovers to fix bite and alignment issues. Traditional metal braces, bite plates, clear aligners like Invisalign, and retainers are a few examples of the orthodontic appliances we offer our patients at Varni Dental.

• Prosthetic Appliances

Prosthetic appliances include crowns, bridges, dental implants, and partial or complete dentures. Dr. Patel uses these appliances in smile makeovers to improve form and function, strengthen your teeth, prevent tooth and bone loss, and improve your smile.

• Veneers

Veneers are thin films applied to the front of your teeth that fix issues like broken or crooked teeth, stained teeth, tooth gaps, or misaligned teeth.
