Smile makeovers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment that can help to balance out your smile by addressing various aesthetic issues. One common issue is asymmetry, where one side of the smile appears different than the other. This can be caused by factors such as misaligned teeth, uneven gum line, or uneven tooth size and shape.
A cosmetic dentist can use a variety of treatments to balance out your smile, such as orthodontics, porcelain veneers, or dental crowns.
Tooth proportions refer to the size and shape of your teeth. Ideally, your teeth should be proportional to the rest of your face, with the two central front teeth being slightly larger than the others. If your teeth are too small or too large, it can affect the overall appearance of your smile. During a smile makeover, a cosmetic dentist may recommend reshaping your teeth using dental veneers or composite bonding.
