Edmond, OK Smile Makeover

You deserve a Smile Makeover that gives you a subtle, natural-looking Facelift.  With innovative dental treatment by Dr. Jerome Cha, you can achieve a natural-looking, non-surgical facelift as an alternative to plastic surgery.

An Alternative to the Surgical Facelift

Our solution is the Dental Facelift, a non-surgical procedure that gives you a subtle, natural-looking facelift along with a complete smile makeover. It involves various dental procedures that help fill out your face in order to compensate for facial skeletal aging and volume loss. In the photos below, Michelle had a collapsed bite due to excessive wear. A full upper-arch reconstruction restored her natural facial height and filled her smile laterally. With proper support, her face is now lifted, and she looks younger.

Complications from Plastic Surgery

Those looking for an alternative to plastic surgery do so for many reasons. Even under the best of circumstances, the process involves some definite risks, such as:

• The possibility of permanent incision scars
• A recovery period lasting 2-4 weeks, which comes with possible complications such as:
  • swelling (may linger up to a few months)
  • bruising
  • pain
  • limited range of movement, which restricts chewing

In addition to causing typical side effects, facial plastic surgery can put you at risk of more serious complications affecting your health or appearance. These include:

• bleeding complications
• reactions to anesthesia
• hematoma
• nerve injury
• infection
• delayed skin healing
• earlobe misalignment
• hairline distortion
• hair or skin loss

With the Dental Facelift, you can avoid all of these complications, even the more minor discomforts that come with plastic surgery.

The Components of a Dental Facelift

Here are some of the procedures that can be part of a Dental Facelift:

• Increasing the vertical dimension. If your teeth have worn down, they can be built back up, as shown in the results above.
• Increasing the width of your smile. With bonding, your back teeth can be widened to provide more support to your cheeks.
• Your front teeth can be positioned further forward, thus providing support to your lips and reducing wrinkles.
• There’s a procedure called “creating a rotation of your anterior segment” that will further fill out your face.

Dr. Cha also uses dermal fillers and muscle blockers that will remove wrinkles without surgery, plus laser skin treatments that will help your skin look younger. To learn more, visit our Botox and Laser Resurfacing pages.

Immediate Results: No Plastic Surgery Needed

One of the downsides of facial plastic surgery is the 6-9 months of waiting time required before the full benefit of the procedure is realized. Unlike a surgical facelift, our Dental Facelift gives you immediate results. Because of this, you can try on your restoration before financially committing to it and begin seeing its age-reversing effects for yourself immediately. We’ll bond your provisional restoration to your teeth with a temporary adhesive agent so you can wear it home for the try-in period. You’ll be able to see exactly how it will look and feel as well as show it off to your family and friends. After the try-in period, Dr. Cha will make any adjustments needed before bonding on your permanent restoration. Your new smile and rejuvenated face will be yours to enjoy right away. Best of all, you’ll avoid permanent scarring and a painful recovery period.
