What is a smile makeover?
At Brightly Dental, we offer a wide range of cosmetic and restorative services. Two terms that are commonly used interchangeably are “smile makeover” and “full mouth reconstruction”. They may sound similar, but these procedures are quite different. Here, our team of doctors explains the differences between the two so you can be well-informed about your potential treatment.
Who qualifies for a smile makeover?
The main purpose of a smile makeover is to enhance the appearance and aesthetics of your smile. This comprehensive treatment includes two or more cosmetic procedures that can dramatically improve your overall appearance and confidence.
What procedures are involved in a smile makeover?
To be eligible for a smile makeover, patients must be in excellent oral health. This means that any decay, periodontal disease, or other serious dental issues must be addressed beforehand.
What is full mouth reconstruction?
Otherwise, virtually any patient who is dissatisfied with the appearance of their smile can qualify for a smile makeover. During a consultation at our Manhattan practice, our doctors can talk with you about your treatment options.
The wonderful thing about a smile makeover is that it is fully customized to the needs of each individual. As a result, one smile makeover won’t necessarily look like another. Here are some of the most commonly combined procedures included in this comprehensive treatment:
Who qualifies for full mouth reconstruction?
Unlike a smile makeover, the primary goal of full mouth reconstruction is to reestablish oral health and function. This is a streamlined, comprehensive treatment that combines two or more restorative procedures to help patients achieve their dental health goals.
What procedures are involved in full mouth reconstruction?
Anyone with significant oral health problems can qualify for full mouth reconstruction. This may include decayed, damaged, or missing teeth as well as gum disease, TMJ dysfunction, a misaligned bite, and more. Full mouth reconstruction focuses on treating multiple conditions within a short time period, giving patients the best chance for optimal, long-term oral health.
