Are you someone in a relatable hurry and would want to explore smile designing treatment options that can provide you with a brand new smile within your timeline? Well read all about Prudentoe’s expert smile designing techniques, how the initial consultation takes place and how the treatment process is laid out.
Expert consultation at your doorstep
To treat the problem in an effective, efficient and long term manner, we would first need to understand the reason behind it. When did you first start to notice the smile irregularities? Was there any effort made to correct them? Did the smile irregularities change or worsen with time? Were there any cavities or gum problems involved? If you have any previous dental records, it is good to keep them ready.
Discussing your goals
Now that the problem is located, we would like to hear from you what type of treatment you are looking for. Are you looking for a permanent replacement? Which areas are you most concerned with? What time frame can you provide us with to give you the best custom smile we can, and more shall be discussed. Often times patients have one of a couple of these concerns –
- Irregular teeth - crowded teeth, teeth seemingly placed one on top of the other and such
- Proclined teeth - Forwardly placed teeth which might look awkward when viewed from the side or during laughing
- Gaps between teeth - Noticeable gaps between teeth, mainly the front two or multiple teeth.
- Missing Tooth - One or multiple teeth lost due to cavities, any trauma accidents, aging or others.
Checkup
Our experts come equipped with the tools to perform an initial clinical examination. In this examination, they will check the extent of irregularities, the number of teeth involved, any additional bite issues that you might be having and more. Here, the dentist might also bring to your notice other issues or reasons for the malaligned smile that you might not be able to see/understand by yourself.
Deciding on the perfect treatment plan for you
There are multiple angles from which we can address a single issue. For crowded and proclined teeth we might suggest orthodontic braces or an aligner treatment. For gaps and mild crowding, we have the options of full crowns, veneers, direct composites and more.
The procedure and the timeline
The treatment plan we pick will be based on these major factors
- The extent and the origin of the condition
- Your end goals or expectations
- The timeframe we have
- And your budget
Treatments like direct composites and crowns can be completed in under a week, whereas treatments like orthodontic braces and tooth replacement by implants might take a few months.
Understand that our dental experts will try their best to meet your expectations at your timeframes but we also need to keep the extent of the smile condition in mind and proceed accordingly. The dentist might take some pre-operative pictures for further reference. Following the necessary protocols, the treatment can start on the same day itself or on an appointed day in the future.
