Replacing missing teeth: Missing teeth can be replaced with lifelike options such as dental implants (for one or multiple teeth), dental bridges, or comfortable dentures. Filling those gaps will restore your bite, improve speech, and prevent remaining teeth from shifting.

Comprehensive, Personalized Smile Restoration
Do you feel self-conscious about multiple aspects of your smile? Perhaps you have a combination of chipped teeth, missing teeth, or other dental issues that make you hesitant to show your smile. At Buffalo Run Dental, we specialize in comprehensive smile restoration – a personalized approach to rebuilding and rejuvenating your smile both in form and function. Smile restoration (sometimes called a full smile makeover or full-mouth reconstruction, depending on the situation) means using a combination of treatments to address all your dental concerns. Our goal is to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile that you can proudly share with the world.
Every smile restoration begins with us listening to you. What do you want to change about your teeth? What are your smile goals – whiter, straighter teeth, closing gaps, replacing missing teeth, fixing chipped or worn teeth? We also perform a thorough exam, including X-rays and photos as needed, to identify any dental problems like cavities, gum disease, worn enamel, or bite misalignment. From there, we create a customized treatment plan that may span multiple appointments to systematically improve your smile.

Treatments in Your Smile Restoration Plan
Replacing missing teeth
Repairing damaged teeth
Repairing damaged teeth: Teeth that are cracked, broken, or badly decayed can be restored with solutions like crowns, onlays, or composite bonding. These restorations strengthen the teeth and make them look whole and healthy again, eliminating pain or sensitivity.
Cosmetic enhancements
Cosmetic enhancements: For teeth that are discoloured, uneven, or slightly misaligned, cosmetic treatments such as porcelain veneers or tooth bonding can dramatically improve their appearance. Professional teeth whitening might be part of your plan to brighten your overall smile. The idea is to address aesthetic issues so that the final smile is not only healthy, but stunning.
Orthodontic correction
Orthodontic correction: If alignment or bite issues are contributing to your concerns, we might incorporate orthodontic treatment like Invisalign® clear aligners. Straightening crooked teeth or correcting a bad bite can improve both appearance and long-term oral health (aligned teeth are easier to clean and less prone to wear).
Gum health and contouring
Gum health and contouring: A truly restored smile includes healthy gums. We will treat any gum disease to ensure your foundation is strong. In some cases, recontouring the gum line (gum reshaping) may be recommended to fix a “gummy” smile or create a more balanced look for your teeth. Healthy, properly contoured gums frame your teeth beautifully.
Benefits of a Full Smile Restoration
Renewed Confidence
By correcting multiple imperfections, a smile restoration can vastly improve your self-esteem. You’ll no longer feel the need to hide your smile in photos or conversations. Many of our smile makeover patients tell us they feel more outgoing and positive in their daily life after their smile transformation.
Better Functionality
Replacing and repairing teeth has an aesthetic purpose, but it also restores proper biting and chewing ability. By replacing your teeth, you may find you can enjoy foods you avoided and speak more clearly.
Improved Oral Health
Fixing decayed teeth, treating gum issues, and aligning your bite will greatly improve your overall oral health. Decay and infection will be eliminated, reducing the bacterial load in your mouth. A well-aligned, restored smile is also easier to maintain, reducing the risk of future cavities or gum disease.
Customized & Comprehensive Care
Unlike one-off treatments, a smile restoration takes a holistic view of your mouth. We coordinate the sequence of treatments in the most efficient way, often combining procedures when possible, so you get the best results in a sensible timeframe. The plan is tailored to your priorities, comfort level, and budget. We can often phase treatment over time to make it more affordable or convenient, addressing the most pressing issues first.
Long-term Results
We use durable, high-quality materials and the latest techniques to ensure your new smile will last. With proper care and maintenance, the results of a comprehensive smile restoration – whether it’s crowns, Dents, veneers, etc. – can serve you well for decades. We’ll schedule regular follow-ups to keep everything in top shape.
We understand that a full smile makeover or restoration can sound overwhelming at first. That’s why we take it step by step, working closely with you so you know exactly what to expect at each phase. Our team is very experienced in managing complex cases and will ensure your comfort throughout the process, including offering sedation options if you’re anxious or when undergoing longer procedures. We’re here to support you clinically and emotionally on the journey to your dream smile.
