When most of your teeth are worn down, broken, or missing, the problem goes past looks. Chewing gets hard. Some foods come off the menu. Full mouth reconstruction rebuilds the bite and the smile together with crowns, bridges, and implants, in stages you can follow. It's a long road, so patience matters on both sides of the chair, and nothing starts until you're ready.

Maybe it's a chip here, a gap there, and a color you've never liked. A smile makeover looks at the whole smile instead of one tooth, then combines treatments like whitening, bonding, and crowns in an order that makes sense. You start by saying what bothers you and what you'd love to see in the mirror. Everything after that follows one plan.

Some teeth are chipped, worn short, gapped, or stained in a way whitening can't touch. Porcelain veneers cover the front of those teeth with a thin ceramic shell, changing shape, shade, and spacing in one treatment. The part most people worry about is looking fake. That's why you choose the shape and shade with Dr. Ames before anything is made.

A gap changes more than a photo. It can change how you chew and how freely you smile. Dental bridges close that space with a replacement tooth held by the teeth on either side, so it stays put and doesn't come out at night. It's shaded to match its neighbors. An implant is another route for the same gap, and you'll see both options side by side.

Think of a crown as a cap made to fit over a tooth that's cracked, broken, or mostly filling. It covers the whole tooth, so the weak part is shielded when you bite down. Our porcelain and ceramic dental crowns are shaded to match the teeth beside them, which matters most up front where everyone can see. Not sure a tooth calls for one? That's what the exam is for.

Sometimes it's one tooth. A pointy canine, an edge that's a bit too long, two teeth that overlap just enough to bug you. Tooth contouring and reshaping smooths and trims small amounts of enamel to even out the smile line. It's among the lightest cosmetic options here, and it's sometimes paired with bonding. Only so much enamel can be shaped, so an exam decides what's possible.

A filling shouldn't be the first thing people see when you laugh. Tooth-colored fillings repair a cavity with material blended to your own tooth shade, so the fix stays quiet. They can also replace old silver fillings that have darkened over time. We numb the area first, and many patients tell us the worry beforehand was the hard part.

Got one small chip that catches your eye in every photo? Dental bonding fixes little flaws without a big procedure. Tooth-colored resin is shaped right onto the tooth, then smoothed and polished until it blends in. It suits small chips, minor gaps, and single stains. And if a small fix will do, a small fix is what gets recommended.

Years of coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco can dull a smile so slowly you barely notice. Teeth whitening lifts that built-up stain from your natural enamel, which makes it a popular pick before a wedding, an interview, or a big photo. Crowns and fillings don't change shade, so an exam comes first to see what will brighten and what won't. Results vary from person to person.
