Are you embarrassed by your smile? You do not have to continue living in fear of exposing your smile\u2019s appearance. It is time for a change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether people have oral health problems or simply do not like the look of their teeth, undesirable smiles can cause a number of insecurities,\u201d said Dr. Lisa Emirzian, a Northampton, MA esthetic dentist at EMA Dental. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emadental.com\/smile-makeover.html\">Smile makeovers<\/a> can help eliminate tooth-related anxiety and even improve overall oral health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smile makeovers use scientific and artistic techniques to improve the appearance of smiles as well as their structure and oral health. When the structure of your smile is enhanced or restored, your facial structure will also improve. Restoration will also lead to a reduced chance of suffering from additional oral health problems in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, smile makeovers involve a combination of two or more procedures, including the following:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Crowns \u2013 \u201ccaps\u201d that are placed over teeth, and are used to protect or repair weak teeth and change the look of misshapen or discolored teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Porcelain veneers \u2013 custom-made porcelain \u201cshells\u201d that are utilized to change the color and\/or shape of teeth. They are natural-looking and stain-resistant.<\/li>\n<li>Implant-retained dentures \u2013 partial or full dentures that are stabilized with the help of two to four dental implants.<\/li>\n<li>Invisalign \u2013 invisible braces that use a series of removable clear trays to align teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Bonding \u2013 tooth-colored resin that is applied to the surface of teeth to whiten and lengthen teeth, as well as eliminate gaps between teeth without the use of braces, repair decayed teeth and fill small cavities.<\/li>\n<li>Teeth whitening \u2013 ZOOM! whitening, custom trays, or 30-minute or 60-minute in-office treatment options that help rid teeth of stains from wine, tobacco, coffee and more.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Experienced esthetic specialists like Amherst cosmetic dentist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emadental.com\/dr-lisa-emirzian.html\">Dr. Emirzian<\/a> can help you determine the smile makeover option that is best for you.
