A Smile Makeover can be Life Changing
If you’re embarrassed by your teeth every time you look in the mirror, if you feel like people are focusing on your teeth rather than on what you’re saying when you speak, if you’re just completely self-conscious about your smile, then it’s time to visit our office. At Dentistry for Life a Philadelphia smile makeover may be right for you.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
The word “makeover” can be misleading. Getting a smile makeover doesn’t have to take a long time or be invasive. Every Philadelphia dental patient is different, so your dental needs will be too.
There is only one thing every smile makeover patient must have in common: good oral health. A cosmetic upgrade can’t happen until teeth and gums are strong and clean and your dentist has a solid foundation to build upon.
Our goal for any patient who undergoes a smile makeover is to give them a natural-looking, celebrity-worthy smile. A smile makeover is for anyone, no matter your age, gender, profession, or demographic. Better teeth will transform your appearance, your confidence, and, therefore, your life. At Dentistry for Life we strive to provide you with one of the best smile makeovers Philadelphia has to offer.

The Most Popular Smile Makeover Procedures
Every smile makeover is unique. At Dentistry for Life, our dentists will design a fully personalized treatment plan that fits your cosmetic preferences and goals. Here are just some of the cosmetic dentistry treatments that can be included in a smile makeover:
- Porcelain dental veneers: The most versatile cosmetic dentistry treatment there is, dental veneers can conceal just about every aesthetic problem you have. From discoloration or stained teeth to misalignment, chipped teeth to short teeth, veneers fix everything in one procedure. We meticulously design, craft, and bond super-thin shields of porcelain to your natural teeth and sculpt your new smile into something wonderful. Today’s veneers are very realistic looking. The high-quality porcelain material mimics the color, sheen, and transparency of natural teeth perfectly, so you can rest assured your smile will look entirely natural. Best of all, porcelain dental veneers are made to last. With proper oral care, you can expect to get approximately a decade or longer from them.
- Invisalign: If you’re willing to put in the time to achieve greatness, a round of Philadelphia Invisalign will help you develop a fully aligned smile in just about a year. Combine this alignment method with a course of teeth whitening and you’ll have a powerful, long-lasting smile makeover. Invisalign is considered the world’s most popular clear aligner brand. The super thin, nearly invisible tray fits over your teeth and aligns each tooth into the correct position a little bit at a time. You’ll change the trays every two weeks, and meet with our dentists every six weeks to review your progress. Unlike bulky metal braces that have sharp edges, Invisalign is discreet and comfortable to wear. Generally speaking, it takes just 12 months on average to get perfectly straight teeth with Invisalign. Invisalign isn’t just for teens either, adults can achieve the benefits of these clear teeth aligners as well.
- Botox and Juvederm: Fillers like Botox and Juvederm are powerful agents of anti-aging. If you spruce up your smile with cosmetic dentistry and complement it with a filler, think how much younger you will look with flawless teeth and fewer wrinkles and lines. Botox is a wrinkle relaxant that is ideal for smoothing forehead lines, angry eyebrow furrows, and crow’s feet around your eyes. It takes just minutes to inject and lasts between three to six months. Juvederm is a filler composed of hyaluronic acid, a water-loving substance that is naturally found in your skin. Juvederm instantly plumps your skin to fill in wrinkles in seconds. You can enjoy smooth, wrinkle-free skin for up to a year or longer. You could go to a beauty clinic for your Philadelphia Botox and Juvederm treatment, but why take the risk? As doctors, our dentists have the skill and experience to perform your cosmetic injections safely and painlessly. At Dentistry for Life, you can also feel confident knowing you are getting the real brand-name product. We purchase our cosmetic injectables directly from the manufacturer, Allergan.
- Teeth whitening: White teeth look good on everyone. Our Philadelphia teeth whitening treatment is a highly effective, cost-effective way to enhance your smile in a short time. One of the biggest complaints our dental patients have is yellow teeth. They want a brighter smile that makes them look young and healthy. If you have the kind of tooth discoloration that can be blasted away by professional teeth whitening. A professional teeth whitening is the surest route to smile perfection. Professional whitening provides dramatic results quickly, unlike at-home tooth whitening kits, which take a long time to work and deliver unimpressive results. Our tooth whitening treatment is a great add-on for any cosmetic smile procedure you are also considering, producing teeth that are shades lighter.
- Porcelain crowns: At Dentistry for Life in Philadelphia porcelain crowns are offered as a restorative and cosmetic dental treatment. They are placed over damaged teeth that have undergone root canal therapy, take the place of a filling in the case of teeth badly damaged by tooth decay, or conceal oddly shaped teeth. Customized to blend right in with your natural teeth, porcelain dental crowns are strong and durable. Our high-quality, durable porcelain crowns match the natural sheen and pearlescence of natural teeth, so no one will know the difference.
- Dental bonding: One of the most non-invasive cosmetic dentistry treatments, dental bonding covers up pesky areas that just don’t look right and can mar your entire smile, like a discolored tooth, a chipped tooth, or a jagged tooth. Small gaps in the teeth can also be fixed using this non-invasive cosmetic dentistry procedure. And it only takes us about 30 minutes per tooth to get the job done effectively. Unlike veneers, your bonding can be completed in one visit, rather than two. If you are seeking a fast, affordable, tried-and-true way to re-contour your existing teeth, then bonding may be right for you. Keep in mind bonding only lasts a few years, compared to porcelain veneers which can last a decade or longer.
- Tooth-colored fillings: If you have tooth decay or a damaged tooth and need a filling to fix it, we always make sure it’s a white, tooth-colored filling. No one should ever know you’ve had a filling done, thanks to the tooth-colored properties of composite fillings. Our white fillings blend harmoniously with your existing smile, allowing you to speak, smile, and eat without anyone noticing. Plus, white fillings are simply healthier for you than toxic silver fillings. Research suggests that silver amalgam fillings, which contain small amounts of mercury and other metals, have been linked to neurological problems such as mood disorders and headaches. At Dentistry for Life, we want you to look good and feel good, so we avoid silver fillings altogether.
- Dental implants: The most permanent solution to missing teeth, our Philadelphia dental implants not only look natural, they also feel natural. Choosing dental implants as a tooth replacement option is going to give you a smile to be proud of. Implants not only offer a cosmetic boon, but are also entirely functional. When you have missing teeth, that area of jaw bone where the tooth is missing can actually begin to resorb (when your bone dissolves back into the body), and can cause a “sunken-in” look to the face and mouth. The dental implant helps by stimulating this area of jaw bone, keeping it healthy and whole. Entire arches of missing teeth can also be replaced using All-on-4 Dental Implants. This revolutionary new way of replacing many missing teeth uses 4 dental implants to secure a prosthetic arch of teeth, giving you a durable, solid set of teeth that will last.
