Smile Makeovers
If you are dissatisfied with your smile, our Culebra dental staff is eager to help give you your dream smile through a smile makeover. A smile makeover is the process of enhancing the smile through one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as dental veneers, composite bonding, tooth implants and teeth whitening.
Smile Makeover Treatment
Smile makeovers factor in facial appearance, skin tone, gum tissue, lips, hair color, teeth—color, width, length, shape and tooth display— to develop your desired smile.
First determine what you would like to change about your smile or teeth, and discuss it with your dentist. Some areas of improvement and solutions could be:
Tooth color—dark or discolored teeth can suggest an aged mouth, whereas a white smile is more youthful. Teeth can be brightened by:
- In-office teeth whitening-perks up the shade of stained or dull teeth.
- Veneers-a thin coating of porcelain placed on the tooth to make it more uniform.
- Dental implants- a piece of metal fused to the jaw as an anchor for a replacement tooth.
Alignment and Spacing—crooked, overlapped, or gapped teeth can be helped through:
- Invisalign-smooth see-through aligners that straighten teeth.
- Braces-align teeth through brackets and wires.
- Veneers
Missing teeth—can negatively affect the smile’s appearance, bite and tooth decay. They can be replaced through:
- Partial or full dentures—partials can replace a few teeth, or full dentures will replace complete sets of teeth.
- Dental implants
Cracked, or Chipped teeth—this can affect eating, and your smile. Chips or cracks can be fixed through:
- Veneers

The study showed that when someone has a bright smile others think they are outgoing, trustworthy, professional and have financial success.
