Even if your teeth are not aligned properly, you may be able to complete your smile makeover without having to wear orthodontic braces. Thanks to advanced Invisalign® clear aligners, you can include straighter and more functional teeth as part of your new and improved smile.
A smile makeover is a highly customized treatment plan designed to address every concern with your smile’s health and appearance. The specific treatments involved in your smile makeover depend on the unique concerns and goals you have for your smile. Besides improving your smile, the goal of your makeover plan is also to help you preserve as much healthy, natural tooth structure as possible, which means keeping your treatments as conservative and minimally invasive as possible. By straightening your teeth with Invisalign® aligners instead of braces, you can add a straighter smile to your makeover goals while still keeping your treatment plan convenient.
Invisalign® aligners approach the science of straightening crooked teeth in the same conservative manner as a smile makeover approaches cosmetic dentistry. The goal of achieving optimal results is as equally important as preserving your smile, and compared to traditional bracket-and-wire braces, Invisalign® can help many patients achieve that goal more successfully. Straightening your crooked teeth makes it easier and more efficient to improve any other issues with its appearance. Plus, the discreet and convenient nature of Invisalign® aligners makes sure that your treatment remains conservative and minimally invasive.

In today’s blog, we’re going to talk about how Invisalign® helps patients in North Hollywood, CA, enjoy straighter smiles.
How do you feel about your smile’s appearance? If you have discoloration, you may feel tempted to hide your smile. But what if you could undergo a professional treatment to remove stains and brighten your smile? Let’s talk about how in-office and at-home whitening helps our North Hollywood, CA, patients.
The majority of today’s most popular cosmetic dental treatments focus mainly on improving the appearance of your teeth. However, there’s a cosmetic treatment option for addressing virtually any type of concern with your smile’s appearance, even when your teeth aren’t the issue. For instance, when patients in North Hollywood have issues with the appearance of their gums, such as excessive tissues covering one or more teeth, we can often perform laser gum contouring to improve them. Gum contouring can also be beneficial as a complement to other cosmetic treatment plans, such as Invisalign® treatment or a complete smile makeover plan.
Correcting a gummy smile is the most common reason for laser gum contouring. A gummy smile describes a condition in which your gum tissues cover too much of one or more teeth, creating an uneven and asymmetrical gum line. This can affect the overall appearance and esthetic value of your smile, as well as increase your risks of developing gum disease. By carefully trimming the excess tissue with an advanced dental laser, your dentist can improve your smile’s appearance and your long-term oral health.
Even if you don’t have a gummy smile, Invisalign® treatment may affect your gums to some degree. Treatment involves shifting crooked teeth into straighter positions, and that includes allowing your oral tissues and structures to shift along with them. After completing your treatment, we may suggest light gum contouring to ensure that your gums match your newly straightened smile.
In addition to Invisalign® treatment, other cosmetic treatment options can also have an impact on the symmetry of your gum line. For instance, if you receive one or more porcelain veneers, or if you undergo a comprehensive smile makeover, then cosmetic gum contouring can put the finishing touches on your smile for optimal results.
Whether you want to improve a gummy smile or put the finishing touches on your total smile improvement plan, find out if cosmetic gum contouring is the right answer. For more information, schedule a consultation by calling Modern Smile in North Hollywood, CA, today at 818-763-9353. We also proudly serve patients who live in Burbank, Toluca Lake, and all surrounding communities.
A beautiful smile is something most people naturally want, but often weigh against their desire to avoid significant dental treatment. For patients in North Hollywood who have several different issues to address to improve their smiles, the decision isn’t a light one. Fortunately, today’s cosmetic dental treatments, such as porcelain veneers, are designed to achieve maximum results in as few steps as possible, helping patients enjoy the beautiful smiles they desire in the comfortable and convenient manner that they deserve.
Dental veneers are custom-designed, highly lifelike shells made of porcelain that mimic the healthy and blemish-free appearance of natural teeth. Your dentist bonds the veneers to the front surfaces of one or more teeth, instantly creating an improved and more esthetically pleasing appearance for your smile. This makes them ideal solutions for a wide range of issues, including chipped, worn, discolored, or malformed tooth structure.
While porcelain veneers are highly versatile, you may have more appropriate options depending on your specific dental health needs. For example, if your tooth is discolored due to a cavity, then you may be able to simultaneously treat the cavity and improve your tooth’s appearance with a tooth-colored filling. Or, if the damage to your tooth is significant, then a porcelain dental crown might be a more appropriate way to restore it.
In addition to mimicking the appearance of your healthy, natural teeth, porcelain veneers are also just as simple to care for. Be sure to brush every surface of your teeth and veneers at least twice a day and floss between them, and stick to a strict schedule of preventive dental exams and cleanings as often as your dentist recommends.
With the ability to improve several different types of smile concerns at once, porcelain veneers could be your smile’s best option for improvement.
