You choose to have a smile makeover for aesthetic reasons. You <em>need<\/em> to have full mouth reconstruction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Things that we consider for a smile makeover<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At EMA Dental, we take many things into consideration when planning a smile makeover \u2014 your facial appearance, skin tone, hair color, teeth (of course!), gum tissue, and lips. We then customize your makeover to what you need. Here are the areas we address.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tooth color<\/strong> \u2014 Your teeth may be badly stained or very dull. You may want to mask silver or amalgam fillings. Your tooth whiteness should balance the tones of your face.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alignment and spacing<\/strong> \u2014 Your teeth may be crooked, overlapping, or have gaps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Balance<\/strong> \u2014 Uneven, chipped, or cracked teeth can be bonded to provide balance. A gummy smile can be re-contoured.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fuller Cheeks, Lips, and Smile<\/strong> \u2014 An aging face can be rejuvenated with orthodontics or maxillofacial surgery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tooth length<\/strong> \u2014 Long teeth connote youth, and aging wears down the teeth. A gummy smile makes your teeth appear shorter, as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Smile line<\/strong> \u2014 Your smile line is an imaginary line that follows the edges of your upper teeth from side to side. This line should mirror the curve of your lower lip when you smile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tooth proportions<\/strong> \u2014 Your teeth should be proportional with each other. Most pleasing smiles present the two central front teeth as dominant and have a width-to length radio of 4 to 5.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These are the areas we consider when planning your smile makeover at EMA Dental.
