When you are a child, a gap-tooth smile is adorable, but when you become an adult, a gapped smile can be an embarrassment. You probably find yourself trying to hide your smile because you feel self-conscious. A smile makeover can give you a smile you have been dreaming about while providing you with self-confidence.

Dr. Tom Lawler is highly trained in the diagnostics and treatment of oral health conditions. At Tom Lawler, DMD in Henderson, NV, Dr. Lawler will meet with you to discuss your dental needs. During the consultation, Dr. Lawler will evaluate your oral health and outline how a smile makeover can get rid of gaps and give you a dream smile.

Every smile makeover is customizable to address your issues. The makeover solutions are developed into a treatment plan that can include porcelain veneers, dental crowns, bridges, tooth-colored fillings, teeth whitening, and more. Dr. Lawler uses the latest techniques to give you optimized, long-lasting results to create a dazzling smile.

The benefits of a smile makeover include:

  • Can remove gaps between the teeth
  • Multiple dental problems are addressed at the same time
  • Natural-looking results
  • Fully customizable
  • Creates a brighter, whiter, and straighter smile
  • Gives you a more youthful appearance

A smile makeover is fully customizable. Dr. Lawler will go over your treatment plan with you, so you know how many appointments you’ll need to achieve your goals. During the procedures, local anesthesia is typically used, but for complicated treatments or if you are experiencing anxiety, other sedation options are available. Dr. Lawler can discuss your anesthesia choices with you. The goal during any smile makeover is to ensure your comfort.

Care after a smile makeover

Following your smile makeover, you’ll need to focus on maintaining your oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing. You’ll also need to undergo semi-annual dental exams with Dr. Lawler at Tom Lawler, DMD in Henderson, NV.

With proper care, most smile makeovers are long-lasting. You’ll need to undergo touchup treatments, like teeth cleaning and whitening, to maintain the smile makeover results. On occasion, Dr. Lawler will need to refresh your appearance by restoring or replacing damaged veneers.

How many visits does a smile makeover take?

A smile makeover can take several visits spaced over weeks or months. Dr. Lawler can usually perform certain dental cosmetic procedures, like teeth whitening and dental bonding, in a single appointment, but other procedures will take additional visits.

Common dental procedures like dental implants, dentures, bridges, and porcelain veneers will need several appointments to conduct and complete each one.

How to fix a gap tooth smile with a smile makeover

If you have a gapped smile, rest assured that a smile makeover can fix the problem. Depending on the placement of your teeth that forms the gap, you might need to consider porcelain veneers, bridges, implants, or dentures to remove the gap and give you a movie-star smile.
