Everyone should be able to have a certain level of self-assurance whether grinning or laughing. However, some people can be reluctant to flash their endearing grin because of the esthetics, or lack of esthetics, of their teeth.

Dr. Hong of Garden Family Dental is completely aware of this. A smile makeover is a cosmetic dentistry treatment plan that can combine a number of procedures including dental implant placement, bonding, placing white dental fillings, performing crown lengthening, and performing routine teeth whitening. Based on her years of experience running Garden Grove's best dental practice, she has treated many patients who have a cosmetic issue that prevents them from smiling.

Our office provides patients with treatment for the following typical cosmetic dental concerns giving them a complete smile makeover.

• Stained teeth

Not everyone had the good fortune to be born with a set of white teeth. Compared to the ordinary person's teeth, certain dental patients' teeth are naturally more yellow. Other inhabitants discover that their teeth have become stained as a result of behaviors like vaping, smoking, chewing tobacco use, or consuming beverages that are known to stain, such coffee, and red wines.

You can change the shade of your teeth in one of two methods. Regular teeth whitening can give you a whiter smile if your doctor finds that your teeth are discolored. However, if you just have a genetic predisposition to having yellow teeth, other cosmetic procedures may be able to give you the white smile you've always desired.

• Too much gum exposure when you smile

Some people have what dentists refer to as a "gummy grin" from birth, which is characterized by small teeth and protruding gums. The crown lengthening surgery is a great way to give these individuals new smiles. To reveal more of the teeth, extra gum tissue is removed during the treatment.

• Large Gaps or Spaces between teeth

They are a frequent complaint from the candidates seeking a smile makeover from their dentist, regardless of whether you never had braces, developed spaces or gaps between your teeth because you didn't wear your retainer as instructed, or have new spaces or gaps as a result of periodontal disease.

Depending on the specifics of your dental structure, veneers might be able to permanently close these spaces and gaps, giving you a straight, in-line grin you can show around town.

• The “Old” type of Metal Fillings on your Teeth

Nowadays, the majority of dentists always use white, tooth-colored fillings to repair cavities. However, if you're older, you can have metallic-looking fillings in your mouth that protrude when you laugh or speak.

No one will be able to tell how many times your teeth have been drilled because these fillings are simply replaceable with tooth-colored fillings.

• Loss of teeth

Missing teeth do occur, irrespective of whether a dental patient has experienced a facial trauma or lost a tooth to illness. However, there is a cutting-edge method for replacing lost teeth that will be undetectable.

The most advanced tooth replacement option available is dental implants. They are protected by a tooth-like cap and permanently fastened to your jawbone. The best part is that, with proper maintenance, dental implants are made to last a lifetime. What an incredibly fantastic investment for a new smile!
