About Smile Makeovers
In performing smile makeovers our Las Vegas Dentist look at
your facial appearance and the width, length, shape and color,
of teeth that can be seen when you smile. We also evaluate
your gums and lips to develop your ideal smile. We utilize
porcelain crowns, dental veneers, composite bonding, cosmetic
contouring, dental implants and teeth whitening, depending
on requirements, with the objective of cosmetically changing
and improve the appearance of your smiles.
Considerations
in Smiles Makeovers
Smile
Line - The smile line is an imaginary line that follows the
edges of your upper teeth from side to side, which ideally
should be the same as the curve of your lower lip when you
smile. This standard point of reference for smile makeovers
may be used to help determine how long your new teeth should
be.
Tooth Length - As a people grow older wear
often results in shorter teeth and a smile
that can also make teeth appear
even shorter. Often smiles makeover for short teeth may include
lengthening and
reshaping
the upper front teeth with porcelain
veneers
or crowns. If you have a smiles
that shows more gum tissue,
It may be necesary to modify the gum tissue and lengthen the
appearance of the teeth using a procedure called a gingivectomy.
This
may require a referral to a
specialist for crown lengthening
Tooth
Proportions - Our Las Vegas dentist will examine your teeth
to determine if they are in correct proportion with each other.
Most people recognize a pleasing smile as one in which the
two central front teeth are dominant and have a width-to-length
ratio of 4-to-5. This proportion guides the length and width
of other teeth in the esthetic zone so that the smile line
appears balanced.
Characterization - A dentists performing smile makeovers blends
esthetics with functionality. An cosmetic dentist may characterize
your crowns or veneers by adding shades and/or making angles
rounded or square giving them a more masculine or a more feminine
appearance that results in the look and feel of natural teeth.
