Benefits of a Smile Makeover
In addition to improving appearance, a smile makeover can improve comfort, function, and confidence. What does that mean? A smile makeover intervenes where there are issues that may be causing discomfort, interfering with proper function, and chipping away at confidence and self-esteem. With a targeted treatment plan, we can correct the issues and create a healthier, more attractive smile.
Comfort
Discomfort may stem from a misaligned bite, worn-out teeth or restorations, or damaged or decayed teeth. Any one of these conditions may cause jaw tension and difficulty chewing or speaking, forcing you to favor one side of your mouth. Correcting misalignment, replacing teeth or restorations, and addressing damage will provide relief and restore long-term comfort.
Function
Function is a priority in a full smile makeover to ensure teeth work efficiently. Rebuilding worn, broken, or missing teeth will allow for improved, even chewing. This will have a positive impact on digestion and nutrition, allowing you to enjoy foods that may have been previously off the menu.
Proper alignment is vital to clear speech. Correcting misalignment will ensure that the teeth, tongue, and lips all work together well for articulate speech. An aligned bite, properly shaped and positioned teeth, reduces strain and the risk of future damage, tooth loss, or gum disease. It is also easier to clean and maintain straight, properly aligned teeth, which helps prevent decay.
Confidence
A healthier, more attractive smile can give you more confidence to interact with others. When you’re proud to smile and socialize with the people around you, the psychological impact can be life changing.
