Ready for a smile makeover? At Petrous Orthodontics, smile makeover orthodontics starts with a plan built around your bite, jaw alignment, and the final look you want. Then your orthodontist and dentist work together to get you there. This orthodontist-dentist collaboration isn't unusual, especially if your case is more complex and involves dental disease, tooth loss, or previous dental work that needs to be worked around.
Digital Smile Makeovers can show you the results of your smile makeover with the dentist and orthodontist, and you'll see what it will take to get there, step by step.
A smile makeover combines structure correction, orthodontics with braces or Invisalign, with cosmetic correction. This can include correcting excessive gingival display (a "gummy smile") while correcting an overbite or underbite, or adding veneers or dental bonding to fix the shape and coloration of the teeth.
Not everyone needs a smile makeover, and not everyone needs the full combination. Here are a few common scenarios:
The orthodontist corrects tooth placement, bite issues, jaw alignment, and crowded teeth and gaps. This can be done in adults and teenagers.
Dr. Petrous and Dr. Daabous are both Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics and members of the American Association of Orthodontists and American Dental Association. That board certification requires additional testing beyond a standard orthodontics license.
The dentist provides veneers, bonding, crowns, bridges, teeth whitening, and overall tooth maintenance, including cavity fillings and gum disease treatment.
The dentist coordinates with the orthodontist throughout the process.
FAQs About Smile Makeover Orthodontics
Do I have to see a dentist and an orthodontist for a smile makeover?
You will if you need both components of care. If you don't need the cosmetic correction, you won't need to see the cosmetic dentist. It depends on your treatment plan.
Does treatment take longer if two providers are involved?
It depends on the components involved in your treatment. Braces typically take 12–24 months, and if you're getting veneers afterward, that could add another month or so.
Can I get a referral for a dentist or an orthodontist if I don't already have one?
Absolutely! We want to make this as smooth as possible. We'll work with your existing dentist, or we'll recommend one if you don't have one.
