Cos­metic Den­tistry &  Smile Makeovers

In today’s world, an attrac­tive smile is more impor­tant than ever. Job inter­views, online dat­ing, just your gen­eral social life.……as they say, “The eyes are the win­dow to the soul, and the smile is the win­dow to the heart.” You want to be con­fi­dent that you are putting your best foot for­ward every time you smile.

Have you been embar­rassed about your smile? Do you cover your smile with your hand every time you laugh or smile because you don’t want any­one to see how dark, crooked, uneven, bro­ken, or decayed your teeth are?

Cindy first came to see me about mak­ing some changes to her smile in 2001; she had braces pre­vi­ously and was not inter­ested in doing them again. As the Pres­i­dent and Founder of the AMG Con­sult­ing Group, with years of Invest­ment Bank­ing expe­ri­ence, Cindy knew just how impor­tant it is to feel good about your smile.

Cindy ulti­mately chose 10 Porce­lain Veneers to straighten her teeth, improve their shape, and brighten them up. 8 years down the road, Cindy still loves her smile; even more impor­tantly, she LOVED her smile in her wed­ding pho­tos recently!

If you want to smile as big and as con­fi­dently as Cindy, and you’re look­ing for an expe­ri­enced Char­lotte cos­metic den­tist, call and ask for a Com­pli­men­tary Con­sul­ta­tion today.

Ter­rie Reeves has more energy than most groups of 10 peo­ple, and she wanted her smile to match her warm, open, and amaz­ingly cheer­ful per­son­al­ity. Her teeth had been worn down by grind­ing and just yel­lowed with time; she was look­ing for a Char­lotte cos­metic den­tist and found us.

We ulti­mately chose to do a com­bi­na­tion of 20 Porce­lain Veneers & Crowns to give Ter­rie the Smile Makeover she wanted, and Ter­rie, who is the Founder and Pres­i­dent of the Well­ness Coali­tion of Amer­ica, has absolutely loved her new smile since 2006.

Ter­rie under­stood how impor­tant her smile was to her appear­ance, because she is fre­quently on TV doing spots about your over­all health. She says she now feels 100% con­fi­dent every time she’s on camera.

Den­tal Bridges to Replace Miss­ing Teeth

Shel­ley was unhappy about a num­ber of things in her smile when she first came to see me in 2005 — the yel­low and old porcelain/metal bridge that wasn’t as bright as she wanted, the stain­ing on the bot­tom teeth from lots of tea and cof­fee. She wanted a metal-free den­tal bridge, to brighten her whole smile, and of course to get a good cleaning.

After a very detailed con­sul­ta­tion, and over a period of sev­eral months (full-mouth Smile Makeovers do take a seri­ous com­mit­ment, although not all take that long) after get­ting a good den­tal clean­ing, we replaced her old metal-and-porcelain bridge with a daz­zling white, all-porcelain bridge, along with porce­lain veneers for the lower front teeth, porce­lain bridges on the side top teeth, and more all-porcelain bridges on her lower back teeth to replace a miss­ing tooth on each side.

Shel­ley knows she has to com­mit to reg­u­lar care so that we can help her main­tain this fab­u­lous smile. With reg­u­lar den­tal check-ups, these restora­tions can last many many years, giv­ing Shel­ley the con­fi­dence in her smile that she’d lacked for so many years.

Porce­lain Crowns & Den­tal Implants to Repair Acid-Eroded Teeth

When Jenni (not her real name, as she prefers to stay anony­mous) first came to see me through a refer­ral back in 2005 for a Smile Makeover con­sul­ta­tion, she admit­ted that she had suf­fered from bulimia as a teen, about 20 years prior. She had recov­ered from this debil­i­tat­ing dis­ease and had been lead­ing a healthy, nor­mal life for many years, but her teeth had been so eroded that she was extremely self-conscious and embar­rassed by her smile.

Since Jenni’s orig­i­nal issue had been addressed med­ically, we were safe mov­ing for­ward with a greatly decreased risk of acid ero­sion caus­ing prob­lems again, although bulim­ics are at a much higher risk of GERD/acid reflux, so she is mon­i­tored reg­u­larly by her physi­cian, and she uses a pre­scrip­tion strength flu­o­ride rinse daily to help pro­tect the teeth under the porcelain.

I think you’ll see why Jenni is now happy with her smile.
