(A smile makeover is a
big decision that is not to be taken lightly)
Treated
Problems and Benefits
Our teeth support our muscles and skin. Worn teeth, missing teeth,
bad teeth, misaligned teeth, overbites and bad bites can
be the reasons for mid-face problems.
Our teeth can be worn down due to normal aging or
due to sleep clenching and grinding known also as bruxism in which patients grind their teeth at night. Left
untreated, the teeth become shorter, causing the lower jaw to
retract back to meet the upper teeth causing Neuromuscular, TMJ, and
neck problems.
Bad teeth, missing
teeth, and worn teeth result in a collapsed bite,
an overbite, a sucked in and
collapsed appearance around the mouth, wrinkles.
W
orn teeth,
overbites and bad bites
can make the entire face age.
Smile Makeover
require
correcting the bite,
rebuilding and replacing the bad, missing, and
worn teeth on the upper and the lower arches.
When a dentist open the
collapsed bite, and rebuild the lost height of the teeth, the facial structure starts to improve and
the patient problems are reduced or eliminated
due to rebuilding the vertical dimension of occlusion.
Opening the bite and restoring the jaw to its ideal
centric position
help to strengthen
the muscles and results in a beautiful
face and a beautiful Smile!
Bite Splint
- Jaw Splint
Jaw and Bite
Correction, Non Surgical Jaw Correction, TMJ Treatment
The new
centric jaw position
help with the reduction in migraine headaches, neck aches and
shoulder pains.
When opening and correcting the bite,
the Smile Makeover is obtained by widening the arches
that were collapsed.
When opening the bite, the new
centric jaw position, and the bite
corrections are achieved, this helps with the correction of
many Neuromuscular problems, TMJ problems, jaw pain, jaw clicking,
jaw popping, clenching, and grinding.
Smile Makeover
benefits are having a corrected
bite, corrected misaligned teeth,
a beautiful face, and a
beautiful smile without surgery.
Cosmetic dentistry can be achieved by
bleaching your teeth and placing either 4, or 8, or 10 veneers on
your teeth, and now you can have a better smile. If asmile makeover, facial rejuvenation, and
full
mouth reconstruction are needed, teeth on the upper and the lower
arches may need to be treated in order to correct the bite. The cost
of this treatment may be higher.
Smile Makeover
have been around for quite some time. These treatments when provided
or marketed by dentists have been given many different names.

The
ceramic material used to restore the teeth,
Porcelain, Emax, or Zirconia, has been around for some time
and it has been marketed under many different names.
Anterior
and posterior etched ceramic
restorations that require no to minimal tooth reduction, are used
to restore the teeth:Lumineers®
, Emax®
, BruxZir®,
etc...
These
ceramic restorations could be made of zirconia for posterior and
anterior teeth, porcelain or emax
for anterior teeth, or a combination of both, or what is best for
your specific needs. It is not "a one size fits all" product
BruxZir® -
Zirconia restorationsare much strongerthan regular porcelain veneers.
Zirconia is a crystalline dioxide of
zirconium
that is the strongest ceramic in the
dental market today.
Zirconia restorations can be used in areas with
limited bite space as they offer high resistance to chipping
and breaking. If you suffer from bruxism, restorations made of zirconia might be the best choice for you.
BruxZir® Solid Zirconia, by Glidewell Lab, is one of many examples of
zirconia restorations.
If a bite need to be restored, regular
BruxZir®
Solid Zirconia will be used on the posterior teeth, and
BruxZir®
Anterior
Solid Zirconia will be used on the anterior teeth
Emax® restorations are much stronger than
regular porcelain veneers.
Emax® restorations,in general, provide a better esthetic results on the anterior teeth,
and the new Emax have enough strength to withstand all the chewing forces,
for those reasons, sometimes a combination of both
Emax® (on the anterior teeth) and
BruxZir® Solid Zirconia (on the posterior teeth)
will be a better solution than regular porcelain veneers to restore the bite.
PORCELAIN
RESTORATIONS
Porcelain Restorations,
when placed on the anterior
teeth, offer better and higher esthetics,
more transparent and natural looking incisal edges.
LUMINEERS®
- NO PREP VENEERS
There are actually several different types of veneers available.
No prep veneers, Lumineers®
, Emax® Veneers, Empress®

INLAYS
RESTORATIONS
ONLAYS
RESTORATIONS
VENEERS
Opening the
collapsed bite will create more than enough space to place the ceramic
restorations on the teeth with minimal to no drilling of the teeth.
Most of the
ceramic restorations are etched then bonded to the teeth with minimal to
no tooth reduction as space for the ceramic was created by opening the
bite
These ceramic
restorations have different shapes depending on the tooth structure and
the surface of the tooth that need to be replaced or restored
Depending on
the surface of the tooth that need to be restored, and the material
used, these ceramic restorations have been
marketed by dentists, dental labs,
and dental manufacturer under many different names too.
INLAYSRESTORATIONS
Inlay Restorationcan be
made of porcelain, Emax, zirconia, or composites. Inlay is usually an indirect restoration (filling) consisting of a solid
substance fitted to a cavity in a tooth and cemented into place.
ONLAYS RESTORATIONS
Onlay Restorationcovers the chewing (occlusal) surface of the tooth. It
can be
made of porcelain, Emax, zirconia, or composites. Onlay works like an inlay but covers one or more cusps or the entire
biting surface of the tooth.
Onlays
are one of the expensive option, but the beautiful effect they can
have on a person's smile makes them well worth the investment.
VENEERS RESTORATIONS
Veneers cover the external outer (facial/buccal) surface of the tooth or
sometimes more to allow for a better bonded final cosmetic result.
Veneers
can be made of porcelain, Emax, zirconia, or composites.
Emax or Porcelain veneers
are usually the most expensive option, but again the beautiful effect they can
have on a person's smile makes them well worth the investment.

Many times, a
combination of these shapes are used to provide a better
looking final restoration.
For example,
a
combination of a veneer and an onlay restoration
will have an "L"
shape that covers the
chewing (occlusal) surface of the tooth combined with the coverage
of the
external outer (facial/buccal) surface of the tooth. This
combination of a veneer and an onlay restoration is a very precise restoration but when well executed, it offers
an extreme esthetic and conservative outcome.
Preserving the enamel on the chewing surface of the tooth allows for
a better bonding of the final restoration.
Smile makeover do not require to be put to sleep. There is no
facial surgery, no cutting jaws, no bruising.
Orthodontic treatment ,
Invisalign or Clear Aligners are used only when needed.
