Extreme Smile Makeovers

The television show "Extreme Makeovers" has shown many Americans what dentistry can offer. There has been an explosion in cosmetic dentistry over the past 4 years. Sometimes, patients have purely cosmetic reasons for wanting to change the appearance of their smile. Often times, small changes can be made with veneers.



Sometimes whitening or some cosmetic bonding can be done to improve a smile. Other times, cosmetic problems are a sign of some underlying bite disease such as wear and grinding. Often, cases can be more complex, involving braces (orthodontics or Invisalign), gum "plastic surgery" (periodontics/oral surgery) or even surgery of the jaws or face. When done improperly, cosmetic dentistry can have negative effects on the other teeth, especially in the back. It is important to have this type of work done by a dentist, like Dr. Boulard, who has extensive knowledge of the bite, and its harmony with the muscles and joints.
