Are Dental Makeovers a Good Gift Idea?

Dental conditions can result from several issues, including poor hygiene, injury, and family history, and lead to toothaches, gum swelling, hot and cold sensitivity, and many other problems. They can also cause changes in how they look, creating issues people can see, like discoloration, malocclusions (misaligned teeth), and missing, cracked, or broken teeth. 

These issues make people less likely to smile, which is beneficial for improving mood, communicating compassion, and expressing positive intentions.

If you know someone struggling with these problems who can’t manage them, it is worth considering getting them a dental makeover, which can transform their teeth and improve their self-image and health. Let’s look at what that can mean for someone in need by reviewing what’s included in a makeover and examining the problems it can help with.

Dr. Ayed Hawatmeh and his dedicated medical staff at Bravo Dental Group can help residents of the Brea and Banning, California, area with their dental issues.

What is a dental makeover?

Also known as a smile makeover, this is a general term for a treatment or a series of procedures designed to improve dental health and the appearance of your teeth. While the primary aim is to make cosmetic improvements, the results often give you better tooth and gum health due to the different treatments involved. 

The exact options for any makeover depends on the specific concerns, as teeth can get damaged in many ways or otherwise look unpleasant.

Procedures we offer for a dental makeover include:

• Dental veneers
• Dental implants
• Braces and clear aligners
• Crowns
• Bridges
• Dentures
• Teeth whitening

What problems do they treat?

A makeover can help you look your best while treating problems like:

Dental caries (cavities)

One of the most common dental problems people face is plaque forming on teeth and damaging the enamel of your teeth, causing issues that can lead to losing teeth and infected gums. Veneers and dental fillings can help improve the look of teeth with cavities, and if the damage is too severe, we can extract and replace them with dental implants, crowns, or bridges.

Toothlessness (missing teeth)

Toothlessness often happens due to tooth decay or injury and can be improved with dental implants, bridges, or even dentures if several teeth are missing.

Malocclusions

Teeth can become misaligned for many reasons, and they can get treated with either traditional braces or clear aligners like Invisalign®. Both methods force the teeth into alignment over time and may require retainers to keep them in place.

Tooth injury

A fall or other impact injury to the mouth can crack, break, loosen, or dislodge teeth. Dental veneers, bonding, crowns, and fillings can help to keep cracked teeth together, but if the damage is severe, they can be replaced by implants, bridges, or dentures, depending on how many teeth are involved.

Tooth discoloration

Cavities are a common reason for discolored teeth, but smoking, aging, poor hygiene, and genetics can also affect this problem. Teeth whitening can brighten teeth, and veneers can give you the same look while protecting damaged teeth.

Regardless of what dental issues affect the people you care about, a dental makeover can help them see themselves more positively with a better smile. Give the gift of a makeover and schedule an appointment with Dr. Hawatmeh and Bravo Dental Group today.
