What procedures are used in a typical smile makeover?
We use many cosmetic dentistry procedures, including teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental crowns, and dental implants, among others.

 

Teeth Whitening
Yellow and stained teeth are a sign of age, since teeth are whiter the younger you are. Eating artificially colored foods, drinking coffee, tea, and wine, and smoking can cause teeth to become yellow and heavily stained. This can negatively affect your appearance and may even make you look unhealthy. As a result, patients throughout Tacoma, WA have their teeth whitened to remove the stains.

 

Several ways to whiten your teeth exist. An in-office whitening procedure can whiten your teeth by up to eight shades in a single visit without causing discomfort. If you prefer to whiten your teeth on your own schedule, an at-home treatment may be better. In this scenario, we take an impression of your teeth and create a customized teeth-whitening tray in a dental lab. It fits perfectly so the whitening solution stays in place and your teeth feel comfortable. The Team at Paul Sioda Dental will provide a whitening solution you can use at home to improve the appearance of your teeth, no matter where you are or how busy your schedule is. To learn more, call 253-759-7941 and schedule a consultation.

 

Dental Veneers
Patients in Tacoma, WA with severely stained or damaged teeth can have dental veneers placed to improve their smile. The Team at Paul Sioda Dental is an expert veneers dentist and creates natural-looking dental veneers that can transform ordinary smiles into something truly stunning. In fact, many Hollywood stars have used veneers to improve their smiles, as most people have an imperfection or two. When you schedule an appointment with our Tacoma dental office, we will examine your teeth to determine whether veneers are the best option for achieving your smile goals. Veneers can close gaps between teeth, make teeth even in length, cover dark stains, and restore teeth that have been cracked or chipped. Veneers can even make some crooked teeth appear straighter.

 

Dental Crowns
When teeth are more severely damaged or broken, a dental crown is often a better solution for transforming their appearance and functionality. A crown can be made from all-ceramic or all-porcelain material and surrounds the tooth entirely. This improves the tooth's appearance and strengthens it because, with a crown, nothing touches the natural tooth. In the past, many people in Washington had metal dental crowns. These are functional but are unattractive and make it difficult, if not impossible, for a smile to look natural and healthy. Replacing metal crowns with ceramic ones makes it possible to have the restoration that you need without anyone knowing your tooth had ever been damaged. The Team at Paul Sioda Dental treats patients throughout Tacoma WA that want their smile makeover to include getting rid of outdated metal crowns.

 

Dental crowns can accomplish similar goals to veneers. They can make teeth even, close gaps, cover stains, and restore cracked or chipped teeth. The major difference is that the crown surrounds the entire tooth, so there is additional stability that comes with this procedure.

 

Dental Implants
Our patients trust The Team at Paul Sioda Dental to replace their missing teeth in a way that looks completely natural. Dental implants are an excellent way to restore missing teeth because, once the procedure is complete, you can enjoy all your favorite activities and foods without worrying about a tooth falling out or becoming loose. This matters because with other procedures like dentures, teeth can loosen while running around or eating lunch with friends. Dental implants are so durable that you won’t be able to tell the difference between the implant and natural teeth.

 

In this procedure, a metal post is implanted under the gums and secured to the jawbone. Over several months, the bone and metal will fuse together in order to create a synthetic root system that is just as strong as a natural root system. Once healed, a new tooth is secured to the metal post for a natural and beautiful-looking smile. This procedure is commonly used in smile makeovers because it allows The Team at Paul Sioda Dental to replace any missing teeth.

 

Some people in Tacoma also use dental implants to straighten teeth that are crooked or not responding to orthodontics. This is an important part of a smile makeover because if all of your teeth are white and beautiful, but one is severely crooked, your new smile will feel incomplete.
