In cosmetic dentistry, there isn’t one path to a complete smile makeover. Instead, Lytle Family Dentistry & Orthodontics works to find the perfect blend of treatments for each case, timed for the best results. One of our favorite combinations is Invisalign®, teeth whitening, and porcelain veneers. This procedure package corrects misalignments, gaps, stains, and chips for a subtle but effective transformation.
Complete Smile Makeovers: The Path to Your Best Smile
The makeover process typically begins with a thorough consultation, during which our Lytle, TX, cosmetic dentist evaluates your oral health and discusses your desired outcomes. We understand that every smile is unique. That’s why our complete smile makeover process is meticulously timed for each person to achieve the best possible results. Each step complements the next.
Step 1: Invisalign
Before tackling any cosmetic enhancements, we address the alignment of your teeth. In fact, many aesthetic dentistry treatments aren’t possible or are more difficult to perform on misaligned teeth, including whitening and veneers. We want a straight, clean slate for our enhancements.
We love Invisalign for complete smile makeovers because it doesn’t interfere with your aesthetics during treatment. These clear aligners gradually shift your teeth into their optimal position without the need for metal brackets or wires.
- Comfortable: The aligners are made from smooth, medical-grade plastic, making them comfortable to wear.
- Convenient: Invisalign trays are removable so that you can eat, drink, and maintain oral hygiene easily.
- Effective: These clear aligners can treat a wide range of minor to moderate alignment issues.
Step 2: Teeth Whitening
Once your teeth are aligned, the next step in your complete smile makeover is to enhance their color. Teeth whitening brightens your teeth, making your smile more radiant and youthful. The team at Lytle Family Dentistry & Orthodontics works with you to make sure that the shade you get looks natural but striking.
- Immediate: Professional teeth whitening delivers noticeable results in just one session, instantly boosting your confidence.
- Safe and Effective: With our expert application and monitoring, in-office whitening reduces the risk of side effects like gum irritation and tooth sensitivity.
- Long-Lasting: With proper care and maintenance, the results of professional teeth whitening can last for several months.
Step 3: Porcelain Veneers
The final step in a complete smile makeover is dental veneers. They are thin, custom porcelain shells designed to attach to the front of your teeth like tiny facades. This final touch covers any remaining imperfections. For instance, if you have a few teeth with stains that whitening won’t fix, we can cover them with veneers. Likewise, minor chips or gaps can be corrected. Placing just a few strategic veneers is also more cost-effective.
- Natural: Porcelain mimics the color of natural teeth. We make sure to get a shade that pairs well with your teeth whitening.
- Durable: Dental veneers are resistant to stains and can withstand normal wear and tear, giving you a smile that could last up to 15 years.
- Versatile: Veneers can address a wide range of issues, and each one is customized for each tooth, providing detailed cosmetic treatment.
