What is a smile restoration?
A smile restoration is the opportunity for you to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Whether you are looking to enhance your teeth with a whitening or stain removal treatment, align your teeth with orthodontics or restore worn, broken or missing teeth, our dentists are experts in the latest dental technologies and can offer a detailed treatment plan that is custom made and unique to you.
At Bath Dental Excellence in Bath we start your smile restoration journey with a consultation to discuss the look that you want to achieve and your preferred treatment options. We will provide a detailed examination of your mouth to assess your current teeth and gum health, and your occlusion (the way that your teeth fit together when you bite) in order to ascertain the best course of treatment for your desired outcome. This may involve x-rays, photographs and impressions of your teeth.
Following your treatment proposal, the next stage is to create models of your teeth, and from this a wax mock up of your fully restored smile can be created. This is a diagnostic preview of how your teeth will look following the treatment plan. At this point you’ll be able to see your future smile and discuss any alterations, questions or concerns you may have. The model also allows for temporary restorations to be made, which means that you can enjoy a better smile while the treatment plan is underway.
