Full Smile Makeovers in Lake Oswego

Dr. Bowden has combined the art of cosmetic dentistry with the science of restorative dentistry to help hundreds of patients achieve functional, healthy, and beautiful smiles they feel confident about. Full smile makeovers typically integrate a few procedures to help you attain the smile you’ve always wanted.

Dental concerns like chipped, broken, or crooked teeth can interfere with enjoying even the smallest pleasures in life, such as eating your favorite treat or sharing a friendly smile with a stranger or friend.

Compromised teeth make it difficult to chew, eat, talk, or smile confidently, which can affect your quality of life and daily interactions with others. Sometimes, compromised teeth or bite misalignment may contribute to painful conditions like temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). 

When looking at a full smile treatment plan in Lake Oswego, Dr. Bowden considers every aspect, including bite relationship, aesthetics, and functionality. These are some of the cosmetic and restorative services he may suggest:

• Professional teeth whitening—Brightens dull, stained, or discolored teeth. It is sometimes used as a finishing touch for a full smile makeover
• Tooth-colored fillings—To eliminate tooth decay and restore cavities. Composite resin blends seamlessly with your tooth, so it’s not noticeable
• Cosmetic dental bonding—Restores minor cosmetic flaws, such as chipped teeth, gaps between teeth, and misshapen teeth
• Inlays or onlays—Restores tooth decay that is too large for a filling but doesn’t need a full crown yet
• Porcelain veneers—Covers the front surface of a tooth to change its size, shape, or shade and eliminate cosmetic flaws
• Metal-free dental crowns—Cover a damaged tooth entirely to rebuild and strengthen it
• Dental implants—Replace one or multiple missing teeth by restoring the tooth and roots
• Invisalign—To straighten crooked teeth and correct a compromised bite

Full smile makeovers typically include multiple procedures that we may be able to combine into phases that you can more comfortably fit into your schedule and budget.

You’ll experience several advantages when you invest in restoring your smile to health.

• Improved bite function—You can chew and eat confidently and efficiently.
• Enhanced nutrition—Your diet improves when you can chew and eat comfortably.
• Easier home care—Teeth that are correctly aligned are easier to brush and floss, making you less susceptible to dental concerns like tooth decay and gum disease.
• Boosted confidence—You’ll feel confident and excited about sharing your smile with other people.
• Improved speech—Properly aligned teeth can improve speech patterns.
