Smile Makeovers

Are you unhappy with your smile? Do you dream of doing something to improve it, but not know exactly what it is you want to have done? At Parbold Dental Practice we see many patients who would like to give their smile a boost but are unsure or undecided what treatments would be best for them. That’s why we offer a Smile Makeover service, enabling you to discuss all the cosmetic dental treatments available to you with one of our dental team before you start treatment, so you can decide together which course of treatment is best.

Maybe you have a specific concern – a gap between your front teeth, for example, that makes you embarrassed about smiling in public. But what’s the best way to fix it? Orthodontics? But isn’t that expensive? Doesn’t it take a long time? What about veneers, then? But will they look natural?

At a smile makeover consultation, one of our experienced cosmetic dental team will talk you through the pros and cons of any treatment, taking into account your lifestyle and goals. They will discover what you want to achieve and will carefully examine your teeth and gums so that they can recommend the best treatments.

Taking the example above, that gap between your front teeth, the good news is that orthodontics have advanced greatly over the years, and there are now many discreet solutions available, such as the Invisalign invisible aligner. Depending on your individual case, treatment times can also be much shorter and less expensive than expected, sometimes taking just a few months.

Porcelain veneers can be a good option for covering smaller gaps, as well as disguising small stains or chips. They are similar to false fingernails and are fitted over the front teeth, looking highly natural because the shade of porcelain used is matched closely to the shade of your natural teeth.
