People who smile generously are generally seen as more friendly, more approachable, more confident, and more trustworthy than those who do not, which makes it much easier for them to introduce themselves, win trust, build connections, and close sales.

Here are a few of the treatments a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seanbrowndds.com\/smile-makeovers.html\">smile makeover<\/a> can include and how they can help you achieve a smile you can be proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Porcelain Veneers Can Reshape Your Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever wondered why so many of your favorite movie stars have seemingly flawless smiles, the answer is probably porcelain veneers. These dental appliances are thin shells that mimic the color, luster, and shape of natural tooth structure, and they are designed to be permanently cemented to troubled teeth, covering up chips, cracks, stains, and gaps. In some cases, they can even be used to realign a smile without orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teeth Whitening Can Make Your Smile Shine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone wants a white and bright smile, but years of exposure to substances like coffee, tea, red wine, sports drinks, berries, colorful candies, and tobacco smoke can leave unsightly stains in teeth. If you find that your dental discoloration won\u2019t respond to normal oral hygiene methods, teeth whitening treatments from your dentist can brighten your smile by up to ten shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A teeth whitening treatment can come in the form of an in-office procedure that can be carried out in about an hour or a take-home kit that can be completed over two weeks. In either case, you can expect results far superior to those of any whitening product you could find at the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metal-Free Dental Crowns Can Restore Compromised Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental crowns are used to restore teeth to their original shape and strength after being weakened by injury, infection, or dental procedures like root canals. While these crowns were usually made of metal in the past, today they are made of high-quality ceramic materials that make them indistinguishable from natural tooth structures. They can also be used to reshape teeth that are small, stubby, or misshapen, making them a crucial part of many smile makeovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A smile makeover can address many dental problems with several effective treatments. Consulting with your dentist can help you find out which procedures can be best for addressing your concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seanbrowndds.com\/meet-dr-sean-brown.html\">Dr. Sean Brown<\/a> is a friendly and knowledgeable dentist with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Buffalo.
