A smile makeover simulation for George W. Bush.

Dental History: Here's a smile you might recognize. It belongs to President George W. Bush. We would think that this smile is pretty typical for a man his age (62 years). There's some obvious tooth wear. His teeth have darkened somewhat.
     What is obvious to us is that his two center teeth are slightly shorter than what might be considered ideal. Usually these two teeth (the central incisors) will have a length that is just about as long as the eyeteeth. When they're not, a smile looses some of its youthfulness.

The Cosmetic Dentistry: So what's it going to take to give the President a more pleasing and youthful smile? Not all that much really. This makeover should start with some teeth whitening. The President could use an at-home teeth whitening method or, if that technique isn't compatible with his lifestyle, he could have them professionally whitening in his dentist's office.
     After that is completed, all that's left to do is to lengthen his center two teeth a little and straighten out the biting edges of the teeth on either side of them (the lateral incisors). With the two center teeth, dental crowns, or maybe even porcelain veneers (it would be up to the treating dentist to decide), could get the job done. For the lateral incisors, possibly just a little tooth bonding could accomplish the minor cosmetic changes that are needed.
