You’ve been getting your hair cut at the same place for years, but it’s always a little dramatic whenever they spin the chair around to the mirror. You think you’re just getting a touch up and it ends up making you look completely different. Whenever you meet someone, they usually look at you from the top down. This is why whenever a friend of yours completely changes their hair, they look like another person. For someone who wants to improve their appearance, revitalizing their smile is also a simple way to do it, and it can last much longer than a haircut. Dr. Michael C. Byars, a cosmetic dentist in Kansas City, wants you to know how he can makeover your smile.
What is A Smile Makeover?
Much of dentistry deals with keeping your teeth healthy. However, even healthy teeth are not always aesthetically appealing. Teeth can easily become damaged or discolored, or they might be crooked and have obvious gaps. No amount of brushing or flossing can fix these issues, and they can all drastically affect your appearance. This is where a smile makeover from your dentist in Kansas City can help. We take your whole appearance into account when coming up with a plan to give you the perfect smile. We consider factors such as your skin tone, hair color, face shape, as well as your personal goals. We have a number of ways of helping you.
Teeth Whitening
Years of coffee, wine, tobacco, or simple ageing can leave your teeth looking discolored and dull. Teeth-whitening is an easy way to turn back the clock and bring your smile back to life. For patients on the go, they can whiten their teeth at our office in about an hour. We simply apply a highly-concentrated bleaching gel and activate it using a special light. When you get out of the chair your teeth will be 6-10 shades whiter. You can even whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home if you prefer. Two easy visits to our office will see you get a customized mouth tray along with the bleaching gel. You just need to wear the tray with the gel for 30 minutes a night for two weeks to get the full results. Our take home kits will give you much better and longer lasting results than typical store bought kits. Both procedures can keep your teeth white for several months with routine brushing and flossing.
Porcelain Restorations
Whenever we repair one of your teeth, not only do we want them to be strong, but beautiful as well. Tooth-colored fillings not only enable us to restore your tooth in the least invasive way possible, but it also allows us to make sure the filling perfectly matches the shade of your natural tooth. Unsightly metal crowns and bridges can now be replaced using porcelain ones. We can take a tooth that has seen better days (or even gone missing) and bring it back so it can help you smile bright again.
Porcelain Veneers
One of the most comprehensive cosmetic procedures involves porcelain veneers. The procedure itself is straightforward and painless, but the results are astounding. You can address cosmetic issues such as damaged teeth, discoloration, misalignment, or even obvious gaps in just two visits. Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic coverings that are bonded to the front of your teeth. Not only will they give you a beautiful smile, but also teeth you can rely on day to day.
Invisalign
Need to straighten your teeth but don’t want to walk around with a mouthful of metal for years on end? Invisalign gives you the best of everything when it comes to appearance, effectiveness, and comfort. The clear plastic aligner trays gradually and gently straighten your teeth over time, but only you will notice that you are wearing them. The aligners are nearly invisible when they are on your teeth. Plus, they are easily removable to ensure you can eat and clean your teeth normally. You get all of the results of braces without any of the discomfort.
