When you step out, you lead with your smile. Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you. So, if you feel less than confident about your smile, it can negatively impact your life in many different ways. You might speak up less, hang back, or even avoid showing your smile at all. With today’s dentistry, you have options available to improve your smile and your entire outlook on life.

After a complete smile makeover from the experts at Russell Family Dentistry of Tomball, Texas, you can show your pearly whites without fear. Here’s what Louis A. Russell, Jr, DDS wants his new and existing patients to know about the potential of a smile makeover to brighten up grins this spring.

Start with a full, personalized evaluation

At the beginning of the smile makeover process, Dr. Russell meets with you to evaluate the health and appearance of your teeth and gums. Dr. Russell checks the color, size, and shape of your teeth, and additionally considers factors like your skin and hair color, as well as your whole facial appearance. We also take oral X-rays to check on your dental health.

With all of these factors noted, Dr. Russell can talk with you about your aesthetic dissatisfaction with your smile, and develop a treatment plan for your personalized, complete smile makeover. Dr. Russell discusses both your budget and your dental needs as part of smile makeover planning.

Full dental restoration

A smile makeover begins by fully restoring all of your teeth. Depending on your unique care needs, you could benefit from services including:

• Dental bonding, using color-matched composite resin to repair any gaps, cracks, and chips in your teeth
• Dental crowns, used to protect and cover teeth impacted by large cavities or other damage, manufactured on-site with our CEREC® milling machine technology
• Bridges, using an artificial tooth and an anchor to fill large gaps in your teeth, or to replace missing teeth
• Dental implants, a long-lasting way to replace one or more missing teeth, offered through our on-site surgical suite

Aesthetic dentistry for the finishing touch

Once your teeth are restored and strengthened, it’s time to put the finishing touches on your smile makeover. Cosmetic dentistry can help you achieve the aesthetic goals for your smile.

Dr. Russell provides professional-quality teeth whitening treatments that are many times more effective than over-the-counter kits. Teeth whitening treatments provide results that last from 4-6 months.

You may also be interested in getting dental veneers to perfect your smile. Dental veneers cover your natural teeth with a thin shell of natural-looking porcelain, giving your teeth an even appearance. Veneers make your teeth appear more similar in size, shape, and color, and can cover stains that bleaching treatments can’t remove.
