A smile makeover with our cosmetic dental specialists, not only delivers each patient’s vision of a beautiful healthy smile, but is also used to address multiple aesthetic issues simultaneously. A smile makeover offers patients much more than a cosmetic dental service; it can also treat decay under existing restorations, correct minor bite irregularities, and restore strength and function to teeth impacted by other dental issues. All helping to ensure the longevity and proper function of your dental smile makeover.
If you are interested in learning more about the smile makeover procedure, and how it can deliver the smile you want and deserve, please call (202) 244-2101 to schedule a consultation with award-winning prosthodontists and cosmetic dentists Dr. Gerald Marlin and Dr. George Talmazov today. Dr. Marlin, Dr. Talmazov and the exceptional dental team at Elite Prosthetic Dentistry welcome patients from Arlington, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and nearby areas of Northern Virginia and Maryland.
A smile makeover is typically completed through a combination of cosmetic dentistry procedures, allowing Dr. Marlin and Dr. Talmazov to provide the appropriate solution for each issue you are facing. Depending on your needs, your cosmetic makeover may include:
Having extensive wear of her teeth, Sarah was very self-conscious about her smile. With her new temporary crowns, she had an immediate smile makeover and “couldn’t be happier with the outcome.” She feels“as if a huge weight has been lifted having addressed my dental issues with such a professional and talented team.
To experience our level of unsurpassed quality for yourself, contact Dr. Gerald Marlin or Dr. George Talmazov at Elite Prosthetic Dentistry today online or call us at 202-933-6068. We transform the smiles of patients from across the country and abroad, including those coming from Washington DC, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Arlington, and nearby areas of Maryland and Northern Virginia.
In addition to these cosmetic services, a smile makeover may include treatment for decay such as tooth-colored fillings or porcelain inlays and onlays. It may also involve whitening teeth that are not receiving restorations to help ensure a consistently bright appearance throughout.
Below are a few examples of the many different cosmetic makeovers that we have performed. You can view more smile makeover photos in our gallery.
Tetracycline-stained teeth or other dark-colored teeth present a special challenge for an aesthetic makeover. Veneers were not an ideal solution since a very strong white opaque would be needed to block out the dark stains, and the result would have ended up looking very opaque and fake. Instead, crowns were used to create a dramatic transformation.
The focus of this smile makeover was to correct a large diastema (space) between the teeth while still looking natural. The key was making the crowns fillinging the space appear narrower than they were and spreading out the spacing along with all six anterior teeth. As a rule, we can make all of the teeth appear natural by having several teeth absorb the extra width (instead of just the two central incisors). This patient also plans to have several of her back teeth crowned, as well, in the future.
An individual’s teeth can develop with mottled, discolored enamel that makes them appear unsightly. Before her smile makeover, this patient was very self-conscious about her smile. With her crowns in place, she now has a radiant white smile that she is proud to show off.
This patient came to us looking to address her gummy smile. We designed her temporary crowns and referred her to a periodontist who reshaped her gum tissue to blend with her new crowns. With the final crowns inserted, the change was striking.
Starting out in a new career, this young woman was unhappy that her severely worn teeth were detracting from her appearance. We returned her bite to its original height (a very advanced process) and recreated the shapes of her original teeth by blending them naturally with her facial profile.
In this case, a combination of discolored teeth from too much fluoride in the water, tetracycline staining, and unaesthetic crowns amounted to a complete aesthetic breakdown. We provided the patient with a bright smile by incorporating extra enamel (translucency) to keep her “whiter teeth” natural-looking.
Not all smile makeovers are created equal. At Elite Prosthetic Dentistry, we go the extra mile to provide stunning results that last.
