There are different ways to improve your smile:

  1. If your teeth are in good shape and condition, you can improve the natural color of your teeth with annual dental hygiene;
  2. If you want to have brighter teeth, you can whiten them either in the dentist’s chair or at home (it is better to ask your dentist);
  3. If the condition of the teeth is less than perfect, different solutions can be found depending on the depth and extent of the defect;
  4. Small and medium defects can be filled, larger defects can be covered by covering the visible surface of the tooth with thin ceramic plates, or veneers, or with composite or so-called “white” or “light” fillings. Both options are minimally invasive, i.e. the tooth itself does not have to be ground, or it is ground to a minimum of 0.5mm from the tooth enamel;
  5. If the tooth is very large and often discolored because it is lifeless, it is better to cover the tooth with a cap or crown. The best solution for an incisor is a ceramic or zirconia-ceramic crown, which will give a natural and aesthetic smile with lasting results without the “bluish” edges along the gum margin that we often notice in people who have had metal-ceramic crowns;
  6. And if the teeth are crowded or the bite is otherwise altered, it is better to adjust it before you want to get a “Hollywood” smile, because the bite is one of the most important factors for the durability of all the restorations mentioned above;

Therefore, trust your dentist if he recommends it:

  • align the back teeth before proceeding with aesthetic dental procedures
  • dental hygiene
  • raising or adjusting the bite
