There are several ways to do a smile makeover. We'll explain them here.

The most common is with porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are applied to the fronts of front teeth. To do them right, a cosmetic dentist will probably shave a small amount of

enamel from the fronts of your teeth and then bond on the porcelain with special bonding techniques that holds it so tightly, it almost becomes like an integral part of your tooth.

 

To do a beautiful smile makeover, a dentist needs a passion for beauty and a personality that loves to create things of beauty. Only 1% or 2% of dentists have this artistic inclination. Those that do will pursue additional training after dental school to learn the skills necessary to create smiles - special bonding techniques, training in color manipulation, an understanding of the special materials that are used in this highly specialized area of dentistry.

 

And to make things more difficult for the consumer, cosmetic dentistry isn't a legally separate specialty. The view of the majority of dentists is that a smile makeover isn't a big deal and doesn't require special training. But it is and it does. Our advice: consult our find a cosmetic dentist section for a list of dentists who are artistic and have the extensive additional training to do this well.
