When it comes to smile makeovers, achieving your ideal smile sometimes requires more than a single procedure. Of course, one treatment can make a significant difference, but combining cosmetic and restorative dental procedures often delivers the most dramatic transformations.

By layering treatments, we can correct everything from discoloration and misalignment to chips and missing teeth, creating a healthier, more beautiful smile.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-fit aligners to discreetly straighten teeth and correct bite issues. This process not only improves the appearance and function of your smile but also makes your teeth easier to clean, promoting better long-term oral health. Since the aligners are removable, you can maintain your normal diet and oral hygiene routine throughout treatment.

Combines well with:

• Professional Teeth Whitening: Once your teeth are more perfectly straight, whitening is much more effective, as the bleaching agent can reach all surfaces evenly for a uniformly bright result.
• Dental Bonding: After alignment, bonding can be used to correct any minor chips or shape irregularities that remain, perfecting your newly straightened smile.
• Lumineers or Crowns: Straightening your teeth first creates the ideal foundation for placing veneers or crowns, ensuring the best possible fit and aesthetic outcome.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is one of the fastest and most effective ways to refresh your smile. This treatment uses a powerful, safe bleaching agent to break up years of stains caused by coffee, tea, and aging. The result is a significantly brighter and more youthful-looking smile, often in just a single visit.

Combines well with:

• Invisalign: Whitening after your teeth are straightened ensures a consistent and dazzling result across your entire smile.
• Composite Fillings or Bonding: It’s best to whiten your teeth before getting new fillings or bonding. This allows your dentist to match the composite resin to your new, brighter tooth shade for a seamless look.
• Crowns and Dental Implants: Similarly, whitening beforehand allows your new crown or implant restoration to be crafted to match the brightness of your natural teeth.
• Lumineers: Veneers typically are placed over the most visible teeth to correct many issues. It is a great idea to whiten the other teeth for a uniform white result.

Dental Bonding

For minor cosmetic imperfections, dental bonding is a versatile and conservative solution. Your dentist applies a tooth-colored composite resin directly to the tooth to repair small chips, close minor gaps, or improve the shape of irregular teeth. It’s a quick, affordable, and effective way to make small but impactful changes.

Combines well with:

• Teeth Whitening: After whitening your teeth, bonding can be used to fix small flaws, with the resin perfectly matched to your brighter smile.
• Invisalign: Once your teeth are aligned, bonding can serve as the finishing touch to correct any minor imperfections in tooth shape or size.

Composite Fillings

Composite fillings are made from the same tooth-colored resin as dental bonding. They are used to treat cavities or replace old, dark metal fillings. This restores the health of the tooth while also creating a much more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Combines well with:

Teeth Whitening: Replacing old fillings after a whitening treatment ensures your new restorations will blend flawlessly with your brighter teeth.

Lumineers: Why leave unsightly silver fillings in the back when you can completely makeover your front teeth?

Lumineers

Lumineers are ultra-thin porcelain veneers that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are an excellent solution for concealing more significant imperfections like deep stains, chips, gaps, or mild crookedness.

Combines well with:

Teeth Whitening: You can whiten surrounding teeth to ensure a perfect color match with your new Lumineers.

Dental Implants or Crowns: If you are replacing a missing tooth in your smile, resurfacing surrounding teeth with Lumineers is a great option for a cohesive smile.
