We all agree that the smile is the most attractive physical feature, ahead of the eyes, the nose and the body. But many people neglect it and fail to notice the serious problems that are clearly visible in our smile. As a result we begin to worry about it. This is where cosmetic dentistry comes in. A first-rate cosmetic dentist diagnoses every problem and suggests the best course of action, offering a complete smile makeover and taking care of all your dental problems.
What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a way of making your smile more attractive. Using various cosmetic dental treatments, the whole appearance of your face is improved. In deciding whether to carry one out, individual needs and general dental health are taken into account. Aspects considered include the colour, shape and width of the teeth, their alignment relative to the lips and other oral structures, and the health of the gum tissue.
Common cosmetic problems and solutions
Missing teeth. Because of decay or other dental problems, many of us have lost one or more teeth. Missing teeth affect our smile and with it our whole appearance. Besides looks, this can also lead to larger dental problems, such as trouble with the bite or with the alignment of neighbouring teeth. A dental implant or a crown are the ideal options for replacement. Both allow you to achieve a confident smile.
Proportions. The size and length of the teeth are two examples of incorrect proportions. Long teeth give a youthful look; teeth that are too short can be reshaped. Besides reshaping, the right proportions can also be achieved with composite build-ups, laminates or veneers. These treatments can also be used to repair a broken or chipped tooth.
Alignment. Your smile is affected by crooked teeth, overlapping teeth or gaps between them. These can be corrected by orthodontic treatment with a clear aligner, so that you can smile naturally again.
Gummy smile. A gummy smile is one in which the gum is clearly visible when you grin. Even though it does not look like a serious dental problem, it does affect your appearance. With the help of laser dentistry the gum can be reshaped or contoured.
Smile makeovers can be tailored to your needs and are carried out for a variety of reasons. Your general state of health is assessed by a cosmetic dentist, who then plans your treatment. At Zahnchirurgie Köln we guarantee you the best cosmetic treatment options as well as the best staff and instruments.
