Porcelain veneers or dental veneers are commonly used in dental makeovers because they cover the front (or facial surface) of the tooth. Porcelain or dental veneers are used to serve many purposes including:

• correction of minor crowding
• permanent tooth whitening
• changing the shape of your teeth
• correct chipped tooth, close gaps
• creating uniformity in teeth

After being bonded to the front of teeth, porcelain veneers are relatively easy to maintain with regular brushing and flossing.

Dental crowns or dental caps usually placed on a broken tooth, a tooth with a large filling, or a tooth with a root canal.

Unlike porcelain veneers, dental crowns cover the entire tooth, making them a more effective solution to severely damaged teeth. Dental crowns serves similar purposes to porcelain Veneers

Tooth-colored fillings or composite resin fillings are commonly done for aesthetic and functional purposes.

Many patients have choosen to replace their old, amalgam silver fillings with tooth-colored fillings that match the color of their tooth. Esthetic fillings are especially advantageous with the use of microdentistry, a technique involving minimally invasive tooth removal.

Gingival recontouring or crown lengthening surgery is sometimes performed to change the dimension of the front teeth and to optimize the esthetic outcome of treatment with new crown restorations or other esthetic dental care.

In some instances a simple procedure can increase the length of the teeth to improve esthetics.

Orthodontics or braces can be employed to properly close up the bone structure of the mouth, and transitional orthodontics can be used to align malpositioned teeth for children.

For adults, orthodontics can be used to alleviate crowding, improve bone support (periodontia), and improve overall esthetics. For crowding and gaps, fixed braces are usually the treatment of choice. However, in minor cases, a removable appliance may be used. Once the teeth are properly aligned, a retainer is worn to hold the teeth in the correct position.
