Thankfully, you no longer have to choose only one procedure out of the many forms of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pittsburghissmiling.com\/smile-makeover.html\">cosmetic dentistry<\/a> available. Instead, you can now achieve a perfected look with a smile makeover in Pittsburgh. Read on to learn what the process entails!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is a Smile Makeover?<\/h2>\n<p>The smile makeover method utilizes one or more cosmetic dental procedures to overhaul the aesthetics of your teeth. Some of the issues that can be addressed are tooth color, spacing, missing teeth, chipped or cracked teeth.<\/p>\n<p>The process starts with your cosmetic dentist listening to your concerns and then performing a comprehensive examination to evaluate the condition of your smile. The specialist will then work with you to determine what forms of treatment are best suited for fulfilling your wants and needs.<\/p>\n<h2>The Types of Cosmetic Dental Procedures Available<\/h2>\n<p>To help you achieve the best smile possible, here are two forms of treatment available:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Porcelain Veneers <\/strong>\u2013 A porcelain veneer is a thin piece or dental-grade ceramic that fits directly over the teeth in the smile zone. The procedure effectively masks gaps, minor crowding, misalignment and stains.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Teeth Whitening <\/strong>\u2013 Another way to address teeth stains is with the ZOOM! whitening method, which can leave your teeth up to 10 shades brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Guesswork Eliminated<\/h2>\n<p>One of the advantages of the breakthroughs in dental technology is that you don\u2019t have to wonder about how you\u2019ll look after your smile makeover is completed. Instead, your cosmetic dentist will either use a wax model mockup, a digital image, before-and-after photos or a dental study model to show you what results you should expect from your procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, you can be confident in knowing that you\u2019ll achieve the look you\u2019ve been waiting for.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Maintain the Results<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s great that your cosmetic dentist can help you experience smile bliss, but it\u2019s important to know how to maintain your results. Here are some tips to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use a non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent scratching the surface of your restorations.<\/li>\n<li>Along with brushing your teeth on a regular basis, be sure to floss. It helps to remove the remaining debris that could cause stains.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid using mouthwashes because they can damage the bonds used to hold fillings, crown and veneers in place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Achieving the perfect holiday smile starts by contacting your cosmetic dentist in Pittsburgh for a consultation. Then with a smile makeover, you\u2019ll look and feel like a brand-new person!<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Dan Rairigh earned his DDS degree from the West Virginia University School of Dentistry.
