Common Issues Addressed:

Stained or Discolored Teeth: Teeth can be discolored over time due to age, lifestyle habits such as smoking, and the consumption of certain foods and drinks. Smile design can include veneers or professional teeth whitening to restore a whiter, brighter smile.

Broken, Cracked, or Chipped Teeth: Accidents and wear can cause chipped, cracked, or broken teeth. This affects both the appearance and functionality. These imperfections can be corrected with dental bonding, crowns, or veneers. This will give you a natural, uniform smile.

Crooked or Misaligned Teeth: Misaligned or crooked teeth can affect your smile's confidence and symmetry. Clear aligners like Invisalign are a discreet alternative to traditional braces for straightening your teeth.

Gaps Between Teeth: The gaps between your teeth can cause an unbalanced smile, and they may even affect your bite. Dr. Taft uses veneers, bonding, or Invisalign to close gaps.

Uneven or Worn Down Teeth: Uneven or worn down teeth due to grinding, aging, or other factors can make your smile appear unbalanced. Smile design can include dental crowns and veneers that restore the natural shape and alignment of your teeth.

Gummy Smiles: A "gummy" smile can be created by excess gum tissue, making your teeth look shorter. Gum contouring can be used to create a more harmonious look by reshaping your gum line.

At Arverne Dental, Dr. Lyuba Taft's smile design process is focused on your vision and goals. You can improve your quality of life and confidence by addressing these issues with a combination of customized treatments.

Smile Design Process at Arverne Dental

Initial Consultation:

During your first visit, Dr. Lyuba Taft will thoroughly examine your gums and teeth. She will also listen to what you want and how you feel about your smile, allowing her to develop a deeper understanding of what you want from a smile. Digital X-rays and photographs may be taken to map your dental condition accurately.
Treatment Plan:

Dr. Taft designs a treatment plan based on your goals and the results of your initial consultation. This could include any of the following:

Whitening - Whitening your teeth with professional teeth-whitening treatments.
Veneers - Create a uniform look and hide imperfections with porcelain veneers.
Dental Bonding - Repair cracked or chipped teeth with tooth-colored composite resin.
Invisalign - Use nearly invisible aligners to straighten teeth that are crooked, misaligned, or crowded.
Dental Implants - Replace missing teeth with realistic-looking dental implants.
Gum Contouring - Correct an uneven gum line or a gummy grin.
Smile Preview:

Dr. Taft can use wax models or digital images to give you an idea of the final result of your treatment. You can see the outcome and make any necessary adjustments before the procedures start.
Treatment Execution:

Dr. Taft's team will ensure your comfort by performing each procedure precisely and carefully. Your treatment timeline will be determined by the complexity of your plan. Some patients may achieve their desired smile within a few appointments, while others require more time.
After-Treatment Care and Maintenance:

After the treatment, Dr. Taft provides you with personalized instructions on how to maintain your new smile. Maintaining your new smile will require regular dental visits and good oral hygiene.
