New Year, New Smile: 5 Ways to Transform Your Look

Self-improvement is always high on the charts of popular New Year’s resolutions, and transforming your smile from ordinary to extraordinary can help you achieve it cosmetically. A little? A lot? The choice is yours. 

Visit us at Sabrina E. Mickel DDS & Associates in Beachwood, Ohio to discuss your smile makeover goals. We have a range of options to choose from. Here are our five favorite ways to transform your look. 

1. Crowns

Dental crowns completely cover the natural crown of your tooth, usually for structural reasons, such as to maintain the strength of a damaged tooth or one that’s had a root canal. Because of the materials available, crowns seamlessly match adjacent teeth and add aesthetic appeal to strength. 

2. Implants

When you’ve lost teeth, bridges and partial dentures may be options, but today, the standard of care for lost teeth is the dental implant. Implants are the only tooth restoration method that replaces the root as well as the crown, retaining an important interaction between tooth and jaw that encourages healthy bone regeneration. 

3. Invisalign®

Crooked teeth can sometimes detract from your smile. Clear, removable Invisalign trays can address most mild-to-moderate teeth alignment problems. Simply wear your trays for 20 to 22 hours for about two weeks before moving to the next tray in the series. Remove the trays to eat and clean your teeth and you have a wonderfully straight smile that no one knew you were working on through your treatment period. 

4. Veneers

Dental veneers might be the most versatile performers in our aesthetic tool kit. Key to the Hollywood smile, veneers can do more than simply give you a brighter smile. They can also even out your tooth length and shape while closing gaps or correcting minor alignment issues. Like crowns, veneers can reinforce chipped or damaged teeth by providing strength and support. Single veneers can also be made to precisely match adjacent natural teeth. 

5. Whitening

For the most dramatic single-session treatment, nothing beats chairside whitening with the Philips Zoom!® system. Using professional strength light-activated bleaches, Zoom! can boost your teeth up to eight shades brighter in just one 45-minute session. 

A Zoom! treatment is composed of three 15-minute applications of bleach, culminating in a spectacular brightness boost when you leave the office. Dr. Mickel can also provide you with a custom whitening tray and supplies for home care to extend the benefits of your whitening session.
