The Smile Makeover Procedure

Having a dazzling, healthy smile can make a positive difference in anyone’s life—it can restore not only one’s youthful appearance, but also the confidence and self-assuredness that come with it. We offer a full range of cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures, all of which can be combined in a smile makeover to help you dramatically transform your appearance and attain your ideal smile.

Cosmetic Analysis and Smile Design

Our dentists begin the smile makeover procedure by having you come in for a cosmetic analysis. It is during this stage that our dentists get to know you and what your goals are for a smile makeover. Before your analysis, you may want to ask yourself:

Would I like to have whiter teeth?
Would I like to have straighter teeth?
When I smile, do others see discolored restorations?
Do I sometimes not smile in order to hide unattractive smile features?
Do I have one or more missing teeth?
Do I have spaces between my teeth?
Do I show an excessive amount of gum when I smile or laugh?
Would a more attractive smile improve my personal or professional relationships?

These questions can help you determine what you would like your smile makeover to accomplish. Our dentists will explore smile designs and show all of the options that are available to help you attain the smile you desire. It is during the smile design stage that we can help you understand all of the possibilities so that you can choose the procedures and treatments that will best suit your needs.

Treatment Planning

Once we determine what you want to accomplish with your smile makeover, we will plan your course of treatments and procedures. We will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include a variety of restorative and cosmetic dentistry options. For some patients, especially for those with multiple dental issues that affect the entire mouth, we are able to provide full mouth restoration to best address the function as well as the appearance of the smile.

Smile design and treatment planning come only after a thorough cosmetic analysis. We take our time to do it right—you are investing your smile with us, and we want you to feel confident about the choices you make for your dental care. If you are interested in a smile makeover, schedule a cosmetic analysis at our practice in Brooklyn to be on your way toward a beautiful new smile.

Cosmetic Dentistry Options for a Smile Makeover

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers, or “dental veneers,” can change the appearance of teeth that are chipped, worn, stained, crooked, or generally damaged. A veneer is a shell of porcelain that is designed to be bonded onto the front of a tooth. Porcelain veneers can be used to improve the appearance of one tooth or several teeth, and they can even be used to cover all of the front teeth for a complete smile makeover.

Tooth Whitening

Sometimes, stains and discolorations are all that stand in the way of a dazzling smile. At Bensonhurst Dental Care, we offer both in-office whitening with the popular Zoom!® system, as well as the convenience of at-home whitening with customized tooth whitening trays. Many of our patients choose tooth whitening as the final step in their transformation after other smile makeover treatments.

Gum Contouring

Excess or uneven gums can hide a beautiful smile by covering the teeth or making them look uneven and crooked. We use a special soft tissue laser to contour the gums so that they frame the teeth as they should. Uneven gums can be contoured to make the teeth look more balanced, and excess gum tissue can be removed to lengthen the appearance of the teeth for amazing results.

Composite Bonding

Composite bonding can quickly transform teeth that are cracked, worn, discolored, or slightly misaligned. The procedure involves the application of a durable, enamel-like resin to the tooth which is sculpted into an ideal shape. The material is hardened with a special light, and then polished to a natural-looking luster. Composite bonding is a popular alternative to porcelain veneers in smile makeover treatments, and can be used to quickly and easily enhance a smile.

Porcelain Onlays

Highly noticeable mercury fillings no longer need to detract from an otherwise beautiful smile. At Bensonhurst Dental Care, we use tooth-colored porcelain onlays to replace old metal fillings and repair teeth that are damaged or decayed. Onlays are made from porcelain and are custom-crafted to fit your prepared tooth. They bond directly to your tooth, so they are extremely sturdy, and look completely natural.
