Smile Makeover
Cosmetic Dentistry
Most people are aware of how a beautiful, glowing smile can affect both the personality and self-esteem of a person as well as people’s perception of him/her. More often than not, first impressions rely on the appearance of the smile. Your smile shows others the kind of person you are before you even say a word. This has thus resulted in an increase in smile makeover procedures over the last decade.
A smile makeover aims not only improve the imperfections in your smile, but to also enhance any underlying issues.

- Missing teeth
- Discolored teeth
- Uneven gum line
The first appointment will be a consultation with Dr. Ben to assess all the issues with your smile and suggest various treatments to completely transform it.

What treatments are included in a smile makeover
When assessing your case, Dr. Kacos will look at:
- Tooth length – Over time, everyday wear and tear can erode and shorten teeth crowns or cause gums to recede exposing roots.
- Smile line – The name kind of speaks for itself, but when you smile, the edges of your upper teeth should form a line that matches the shape of your lower lip.
- Tooth proportions – One of the keys to a great smile is having all the teeth in ideal proportion to each other.
A comprehensive smile makeover plan may include:
- Orthodontics to straighten and align crooked, malaligned teeth, or reduce gaps.
- Replacing amalgam (silver) fillings with composite (white) fillings particularly in teeth along the smile line.
- Teeth whitening (internal or external bleaching).
- Veneers, inlays/onlays or bonding to fill in decayed or chipped teeth.
- Replacement of missing teeth with natural looking dental implant-supported crowns, dentures, or bridges.
- Crown lengthening or gum (soft tissue) grafting to improve the appearance of the gumline and make it look all the same, and address gummy or long-toothed smiles.
