Smile Makeover in Houston, TX

Very few things can improve your confidence, appearance, and well-being as much as a beautiful smile. Whether you are looking for a Hollywood smile or minor smile improvement, our Founding and Accredited Member of the AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry), Dr. Guy M. Lewis and his team at the Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry can help make some of those dreams a reality. In as little as 2 visits, we can change your smile with a smile makeover. Every Smile makeover is as unique as the patient receiving it and can consist of multiple procedures to address many concerns: misaligned teeth, misshapen teeth, missing teeth, or discolored teeth. A smile makeover can also open your smile and make you look years younger and slimmer by elongating your face. The team that you choose for your smile makeover is one of the most important decisions you will make in the process. There are many dentists that claim to perform cosmetic dentistry, but there are very few like Dr. Lewis that have totally devoted their careers to the art and science of the smile makeover. Many of our patients come to us because they are unhappy with the work that another dentist performed.

Here at the Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we provide state-of-the-art aesthetic treatments to patients in The Woodlands and Houston, TX. We are always here to answer any question you may have about your dental care.

As people get older, the corners of the mouth tend to turn down when the skin begins to sag. This can give the appearance of constantly frowning even when you really are not. In addition to skin sagging, years of use and wear on teeth have ground the teeth down and make your face look scrunched and contorted. Your nose and jaw may be closer together and this subliminally makes people think you look old. By adding solid tooth structure, you can reposition your face proportions. Through the marvel of cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Lewis can place porcelain veneers over the teeth in such a way that the lips are repositioned and better supported, which consequently makes them appear fuller and more turned up.

This type of smile design requires a true artist, and Dr. Lewis can combine a number of other cosmetic options such as teeth whitening and laser gum recontouring. Each patient can have a consultation with Dr. Lewis to discuss what they hope to achieve and what concerns they have for their smile. Dr. Lewis then designs the smile lift on an individual basis to suit the person’s personality, looks, and desires.

FIRST VISIT:
During the first visit, you will meet with Dr. Lewis for a cosmetic dentistry consultation to determine what you are hoping to accomplish with your smile lift. You will then have a mold taken of your teeth and mouth for the veneers to be made.

SECOND VISIT:
When the veneers are ready, you will return to our office to have them placed. In this visit, Dr. Lewis bonds the veneers directly to the surface of the tooth, adjusts their fit with the teeth and bite, and buffs them to a shine. The result is a luminous smile that looks and feels indistinguishable from the natural teeth and an improved lip placement that results in a younger-looking appearance.

Every smile makeover is as unique as the patient receiving it and can consist of multiple procedures and address many concerns: misaligned teeth, misshapen teeth, missing teeth, or discolored teeth. We provide the following dental services in our smile makeover treatment plans:

If you can answer "yes" to one or more the following questions, you should consult with a trusted cosmetic dentist about a smile makeover:

• Do you feel embarrassed when you smile in public?
• Do you ever cover your mouth with your hand when you smile or speak?
• Are you unhappy with the way your smile appears in photographs?
• Do you wish your teeth were whiter, smaller, larger, or less crooked?
• Do you envy the models’ smiles in magazines and on TV?
• Would you like to change the size or shape of your teeth and gums?
• Do you have spaces or gaps between your teeth?
• Are you considering orthodontic treatment to achieve a straighter smile?

Call our office for a consultation if you would like to know more about your qualifications for a smile makeover.

If you are wondering if your smile makeover will require special care, we are here to help explain how to care for your new smile. Most of our dental services require daily oral hygiene just as you would normally care for your teeth. Brushing and flossing will not only keep your smile healthy, it will prevent some staining to your teeth and aid in the health of your gums. Regular visits to your dentist for exams and cleanings will also prolong the aesthetics of your pearly whites.

Knowing how many visits to our office is a tricky question to answer until you know what procedures you need to have to achieve your smile rejuvenation. During your treatment planning session, we will discuss your level of comfort with the dental services, how long each one will take (or if they can be combined), and how many visits it will take to accomplish your goals.

Patients come to our office in The Woodlands, near Houston, TX from across the country and even all over the world because they want the best smile possible. Dr. Lewis and his team have worked on many well-known figures, including politicians, Olympic athletes, music stars, and beauty pageant winners.
