What Procedures Are Used in a Typical Smile Makeover?
Dr. Charvet or Dr. Charvet Jr. will start by examining your teeth and learning more about what goals you have for your smile. You'll see your options, and you can decide the route you want to take.
Most of the time, Metairie patients will use a combination of procedures in order to achieve the results they have in mind. At Charvet Dental Center, we can use many cosmetic dentistry procedures, including teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental crowns, and dental implants, among others.
Teeth Whitening
Yellow and stained teeth are a sign of age since teeth are whiter the younger you are. By eating foods that are artificially colored, drinking coffee, tea, wine, and smoking—teeth can become yellow and severely stained.
This will negatively impact your appearance and can even make you look unhealthy. As a result, patients throughout Metairie have their teeth whitened to remove the stains.
There are several ways to whiten your teeth. An in-office whitening procedure at Charvet Dental Center can whiten your teeth by up to eight shades in a single office visit and do so without causing any discomfort.
At-home treatment may be better for those who would prefer to whiten their teeth on their own schedule. In this scenario, an impression is taken of your teeth and a customized teeth whitening tray is created in a dental lab. It is made to fit perfectly so that the whitening solution stays in place, and your teeth feel comfortable.
If necessary, we will provide you with a whitening solution that can be used at home so that you can improve the appearance of your teeth regardless of where you are or how busy your schedule is. To learn more, call (504) 834-6504 and schedule a consultation at Charvet Dental Center.
Dental Veneers
Patients with severely stained or damaged teeth can have dental veneers placed at Charvet Dental Center in order to improve their smile. Dr. Charvet and Dr. Charvet Jr. are veneer dentists who can help create natural-looking dental veneers that can transform ordinary smiles into something truly stunning. In fact, many Hollywood stars have used veneers to improve their smile as most people have an imperfection or two.
When you schedule an appointment with our Metairie dentist office, we will examine your teeth to determine if veneers are the best option for achieving the goals you have for your smile.
Dr. Charvet and Dr. Charvet Jr. can use veneers to close gaps in between teeth, make teeth even in length, cover dark stains, and restore teeth that have been cracked or chipped. Some crooked teeth can even appear straighter using veneers.
Smile Makeover
Some patients at Charvet Dental Center use dental veneers to make their teeth appear larger when completing a smile makeover. Some adults, for example, have teeth that appear too small for their smile and their frame.
When this is the case, veneers can be used to elongate the teeth and make them appear more natural. Patients all around Metairie enjoy the results that they receive by using veneers from Dr. Charvet and Dr. Charvet Jr.
Dental Crowns
When teeth are more severely damaged or broken, a dental crown is often a better solution for transforming its appearance and functionality. A crown can be made in an all-ceramic or all-porcelain material that surrounds the tooth entirely. This improves the appearance of the tooth and strengthens it since when a crown is used, nothing touches the natural tooth.
In the past, people may have had dental crowns that were made out of metal. These are functional but are unattractive and make it difficult, if not impossible, for a smile to look natural and healthy.
Replacing metal crowns with ceramic ones makes it possible to have the restoration that you need without anyone knowing your tooth had ever been damaged. Dr. Charvet and Dr. Charvet Jr. can treat patients who want their smile makeover to include getting rid of outdated metal crowns.
Dental crowns can accomplish similar goals to veneers. They can make teeth even, close gaps, cover stains, and restore cracked or chipped teeth. The major difference is that the crown surrounds the entire tooth, so additional stability comes with this procedure.
Dental Implants
Our patients trust our team at Charvet Dental Center to replace their missing teeth in a way that looks completely natural. Dental implants are an excellent way to restore missing teeth because once the procedure is completed; you can enjoy all of your favorite activities and foods without worrying about the tooth falling out or becoming loose.
This is important because, with other procedures like dentures, teeth can get loose while running around or eating lunch with friends. Dental implants are so durable that you will not be able to tell the difference between the implant and natural teeth.
In this procedure, Dr. Charvet and Dr. Charvet Jr. implant a metal post under your gums and secured it to your jawbone. Over several months, the bone and metal will fuse together in order to create a synthetic root system that is just as strong as a natural root system.
Once healed, a new tooth is secured to the metal post for a natural and beautiful-looking smile. This procedure is commonly used in smile makeovers because it allows us to replace any teeth that are missing.
Some people may also use dental implants to straighten teeth that are crooked or teeth that are not responding to orthodontics. This is an important part of a smile makeover because if all of your teeth are white and beautiful, but one is severely crooked, your new smile will feel incomplete.
