Health Benefits of Smile MakeoversOur expert in smile makeover in Los Angeles can correct any imperfections in your teeth and give you the smile you have always wanted. Many people tend to use the terms “smile makeover” and “full mouth reconstruction” interchangeably. But a smile makeover is performed to correct aesthetic problems with your mouth while a full mouth reconstruction is performed to correct actual dental health problems. Smile makeovers are reserved for lightening dim teeth or fixing certain alignment issues. However, getting a smile makeover can have health benefits as well.

Having overcrowded teeth and gaps in between teeth can impair your smile, but they can also lead to more serious oral health problems. Overcrowded teeth can be more difficult to clean and make you more susceptible to develop tooth decay. Gaps in between teeth can lead to the formation of periodontal pockets, which can lead to aggressive cases of gum disease. So by getting these problems corrected, you are improving your appearance and your health.

Losing a tooth can be a frightening experience for some, but if left untreated, it can lead to more than just aesthetic problems. A missing tooth can cause the surrounding teeth to shift positions, and since there is no longer a tooth root stimulating the jaw bone, your bone tissue can deteriorate. Getting it replaced with an implant, bridge, or dentures can prevent further dental health problems from arising.
