Your oral wellbeing must be assessed before a cosmetic dentist develops a plan for your dental smile makeover. The dentist will conduct a complete assessment of your teeth, gums, fundamental support structure and bite (occlusion) to decide candidacy for a teeth smile makeover. If your assessment uncovers that you have an oral medical issue – such as a misaligned bite (malocclusion) or gum disease – you will need to have that taken care of first.
