The Secret of A Youthful Appearance
Today, there are many choices in cosmetic surgery. But did you ever consider that the one procedure that may make the biggest difference in how you look might also be the least intrusive? Our Smile Architects® procedure can give you a face-lift-like appearance, with a “smile makeover” that’s custom-designed especially for you.
SmileLift™
Developed by Dr. Ritchie Beougher, this procedure offers truly age-defying results. Look ten years younger in one day. After a SmileLift™ from Dr. Beougher, even your closest friends will wonder how you’ve managed to take ten years off your face with no downtime. Your lips appear fuller, and wrinkles around the mouth often magically disappear, simply by correcting worn down, thin, or missing teeth. Dr. Beougher’s SmileLift™ can create the smile you’ve always wanted.
Porcelain Veneers
This is the flagship procedure in cosmetic and restorative dentistry. The developmental success of porcelain veneers can be contributed to NASA and the space shuttle program in the late 1970s. This bonding technology was adapted to dentistry and has allowed us to bond porcelain veneers directly to the tooth surface without an underlying metal substructure. This mechanical chemical bond creates an amazingly sturdy restoration, which is as strong as natural tooth structure and one that will not stain.
Gum Lift
A common problem is unsymmetrical gum tissue, which makes the teeth appear to be of different lengths. Dr. Beougher is often able to perform minimal contouring of the gum tissue to create a more esthetically balanced appearance. This procedure is called a gum lift. Generally, gum tissue heals quickly with little discomfort.

Life Changing Dental Procedures FAQs
How does the SmileLift™ procedure improve the appearance of aging?
The SmileLift™ is a unique procedure designed to counteract the signs of aging in the lower face by adjusting the dental structure and aesthetics. It effectively lifts the lower face by enhancing the dental support, which can diminish the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin, and hollow cheeks, providing a more youthful and vibrant appearance without surgical interventions.
What is the typical recovery time after a SmileLift™?
Recovery time following a SmileLift™ is typically minimal, with most patients able to return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure. Any minor discomfort or swelling usually resolves within a few days. It's important to follow all post-procedure care instructions provided by your Smile Architects® to ensure the best results.
Are porcelain veneers durable for long-term use?
Yes, porcelain veneers are highly durable and designed for long-term use. When properly cared for, they can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years or more. Porcelain veneers resist stains and chips, making them an excellent investment for improving the aesthetics and function of your teeth.
How does a gum lift enhance overall smile aesthetics?
A gum lift, or gingivectomy, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the gum line to expose more of the teeth, creating a more balanced and attractive smile. This procedure can correct a "gummy" smile, where excessive gum tissue covers the teeth, or uneven gum lines that can make the teeth appear asymmetrical. By adjusting the contour of the gums, a gum lift enhances the overall aesthetics of your smile, making it appear brighter and more proportionate.
Is sedation dentistry appropriate for smile makeovers?
Absolutely! Sedation dentistry is an excellent option for smile makeovers, especially for patients who may experience anxiety or discomfort during dental procedures. It allows for a more relaxing and stress-free experience, enabling the patient to undergo multiple treatments in fewer visits comfortably. Sedation options can vary from mild, such as nitrous oxide, to more profound methods, like oral sedatives, depending on the needs of the patient.
How is Smile Architects® customized for each patient?
With Smile Architects®, each treatment plan is tailor-made to fit the individual needs and goals of the patient. This customization involves a detailed consultation process where Dr. Beougher assesses the patient's facial structure, oral health, and aesthetic preferences. Advanced imaging and modeling technology are often used to plan and preview the results of procedures like SmileLift™, veneers, or gum lifts. This personalized approach ensures that every aspect of the treatment aligns with the patient's unique characteristics and desired outcomes, leading to highly satisfying results.
What are the main advantages of choosing SmileLift™ over traditional facelift surgery?
SmileLift™ offers several distinct advantages compared to traditional facelift surgery:
- Non-Surgical: SmileLift™ is a non-invasive procedure performed in a dental office, avoiding the risks and recovery time associated with surgical incisions and anesthesia.
- Immediate Results: This procedure provides quick improvements, enhancing the jawline and cheek contours immediately, unlike the gradual recovery required for surgical facelifts.
- Dual Benefits: SmileLift™ not only reduces signs of aging but also improves dental aesthetics, such as alignment and color of teeth, for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
- Cost-Effective: It costs less than traditional facelifts as it eliminates hospital stay and surgical fees.
- Safer: With minimal invasiveness, it reduces potential complications like infection or anesthesia reactions.
- Maintenance: The results are durable and can be maintained through regular dental care, without needing extensive revisions.
