This includes repairing teeth or fixing certain dental problems using a combination of procedures. Damage may include issues such as severe periodontal disease, tooth loss, tooth decay, or damage to the smile due to trauma. To reconstruct the smile, the dentist may use any of the following procedures:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Endodontic treatments (root canal therapy)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental extractions (surgical or simple)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental crowns and bridges<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental implants<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Porcelain veneers<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orthodontia<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smile makeover \u2013 alternatively, patients who are more concerned about the appearance of the smile and already have good oral health may be better suited for the traditional smile makeover. This is a combination of cosmetic procedures that help fix dental flaws and imperfections. This may include gapped, unusually shaped, or discolored teeth. Some of the procedures used in a smile makeover include:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional teeth whitening<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Porcelain veneers<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orthodontia<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental crowns<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discuss your dental needs with the team at My Great Smile<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Springfield, MA area patients who are interested in working with a dentist in the community who offers a wide range of cosmetic and restorative services are encouraged to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatsmile.com\/contact.html\">call<\/a> (413) 781-7645 to request a consultation visit with our dentists, including Drs.
