Am I a Good Candidate for Smile Makeover?

Have you ever spent hours staring in front of a mirror, wondering why your smile seems out of harmony with your facial features? Are you unhappy with your smile?

Worry not, you have a lot of options to improve your smile, talk to your dentist, and maybe a smile makeover is all you need.

A Smile Makeover is exactly what it sounds like – it’s a complete transformation of your smile through one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures in Turkey.

The procedures are customized to meet your unique needs and goals and can range from simple teeth whitening to complex full mouth restorations.

If you scroll through your Instagram feed, turn on the television, or watch a film at the cinema, chances are you’ll find yourself looking at the faces of celebrities or social media personalities confidently, showing their perfect smiles.

Have you ever wished or imagined what you would look like if you had that “Hollywood smile” — you know, the super white, perfectly aligned teeth that match the symmetry of your face?

The truth is, most of these celebrities weren’t born with flawless smiles either, but they visit high-end dental offices and get cosmetic dental procedures for their teeth.

When it comes to creating a winning smile, teeth whitening is often at the top of the list. After all, nothing makes a smile look more polished than a bright, white set of teeth.

Teeth can become discolored for a variety of reasons:

• Foods like coffee, tea, and red wine are all notorious for causing teeth to become stained.
• Smoking is another common cause of teeth discoloration. Over time, the nicotine in cigarettes can darken the teeth, making them yellow or brown.
• Aging. As we age, our teeth naturally become less white. This is because the outer layer of tooth enamel begins to thin, revealing the darker layer of dentin beneath.

You’ve heard of over-the-counter whitening kits, but they can be expensive and time-consuming and don’t always produce the desired results. If you’re looking for a more effective way to achieve brighter teeth, professional teeth whitening is your best bet.

Gaps, or spaces, between the teeth are a common cosmetic concern. They can be caused by various factors, such as overcrowding, an enlarged labial frenulum (the small fold of tissue under the tongue that attaches to the gum), or even thumb-sucking.

One popular cosmetic dentistry procedure in Mexico that can close gaps is dental bonding. Dental bonding is a quick and easy way to improve the look of your smile by filling in spaces between the teeth. The best part about dental bonding is that it can be done in just one office visit.

Another popular option for closing gaps is porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the teeth’s front. They can be used to improve the color, shape, and size of your teeth and close unsightly gaps.

Fortunately, you don’t have to worry since chipped teeth can typically be fixed on the day of treatment.

In most cases, patients get cracked molars because this is where most chewing is performed. Treatment for cracks depends on the severity – ranging from a small filling, root canal treatment, crowns, and tooth extraction.

Cracks, in addition, can be either superficial or deep. Superficial cracks, also known as craze lines, are tiny cracks that only affect the tooth’s enamel.
They are usually not a cause for concern and are easily fixed with bonding or veneers.

Overbites, underbites, and crossbites – you’ve most certainly heard of them during one of your dentist appointments. But what do they actually mean?

These are all types of malocclusions or bad bites. They can either be skeletal or dental in nature, and the type of treatment you need will depend on the cause of your malocclusion.

An overbite is when the upper teeth protrude too far over the lower teeth, and can give you an undefined jaw appearance and retruded chin. An underbite is just the opposite – the lower teeth protrude too far out in front of the upper teeth and can cause the chin to appear prominent, and give you a sunken cheeks appearance.

The way to address a malocclusion will also depend on its severity.

And Invisible Braces are one way to improve a number of different bite issues.

A combination of porcelain crowns and veneers can also be used to improve the appearance of your teeth and jaw and give you a more symmetrical-looking smile.

Rapid Palatal Expander (RPE) is another treatment option that can be used to improve certain bite issues. An RPE is a device that is placed at the back of the mouth and gradually widened over time to expand the upper jaw. This can be done in both children and adults.

Your cosmetic dentist in Turkey will know which specific procedure applies to your case.

Not only do missing teeth cause aesthetic concerns, but they can also lead to functional problems. For example, your eating and speaking abilities can be affected, and your teeth can shift out of place.

In addition, missing teeth can also lead to bone loss in the jaw, especially when the tooth has been missing for an extended period. This is because the roots of the teeth stimulate the bone in our mouth.

Without this stimulation, our bone begins to lose density.

To replace missing teeth, you have a few different options, including

• Dental implants
• Bridges
• Partial dentures

Denture implants and fixed bridges are two common implant treatments that can be used to replace an entire arch of teeth. This procedure involves placing titanium posts into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots.

Once the posts have bonded with the bone, you will need 3-6 months of healing before the permanent prosthesis can be placed.

The ultimate advantage of all on 4 dental implants is that they are permanent and can never be removed.

Bridges are another option to replace one or more missing teeth. This prosthetic is supported by the surrounding teeth and can be made from porcelain or zirconia ceramic teeth.

Partial dentures are similar to bridges, but instead of being supported by the surrounding teeth, they are removable and consist of a clasp, a metal framework, and false teeth attached to a gum-colored base.

Now this one is a more easy fix.
Veneers can help to align and shape your teeth, giving you a much more polished look.

Dental bonding allows your dentist to painlessly and seamlessly fix any chipped, cracked, or gapped teeth you may have.

This treatment is fast, less invasive, and much more affordable than veneers.

This is especially ideal for patients with only one or two teeth that need to be fixed or for patients looking for a more budget-friendly option.

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is an infection of the gum tissue. It is a silent disease, and it starts off as relatively mild. However, if left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and an increased risk of systemic health conditions such as heart attack and diabetes.

Are you suffering from bad breath, bleeding gums, or loose teeth? You need to have those checked and treated before considering other cosmetic procedures.
Here’s why:

• If you have gum recession, your sensitive, exposed roots could be irritated during teeth whitening
• The success of your bridges, implants or restorations depend on your overall gum health
• Treatment of your gum disease will have an inherent benefit for your smile – It can reduce the redness and swelling so that you can have a pinky healthy gums.

Treatment of periodontal disease ranges from non-surgical procedures such as scaling and root planing to periodontal surgery, depending on the severity of the disease.
