How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
A smile makeover is not a specific treatment. Rather, it is a treatment plan that can involve multiple procedures, all of which work together to achieve your ideal look.
To start your journey, you should attend a consultation with our team. We will examine your mouth, ask about your goals, and more. If you have pictures that can help us understand what you want to accomplish, be sure to bring them. We will also scan your teeth and use advanced Digital Smile Design software to give you a realistic preview of your results.
Once we agree on a treatment plan, we can get started on making over your smile. Some procedures that you might undergo include:
- Restorative treatments to replace missing teeth, treat gum disease, or otherwise improve your oral health.
- Invisalign clear aligners to correct dental misalignment.
- The placement of lifelike crowns or other restorations to replace their unsightly metal counterparts.
- Teeth whitening to get rid of stubborn spots of discoloration.
- Dental bonding or veneers to reshape your teeth or hide other aesthetic imperfections.
The Benefits of Getting a Smile Makeover
A smile makeover can deliver some outstanding benefits:
- Improved oral function. Invisalign, metal-free restorations, and other treatments can improve both your smile’s appearance and
- Motivation to take excellent care of your teeth. This can lower your risk of future oral health problems.
- Increased confidence. A beautiful smile can make you seem younger, more approachable, and more successful.
- An advantage in the workplace. Having a healthy and attractive smile might make it easier for you to impress clients, secure promotions, or land a new job.
- Lasting results. The results of some cosmetic treatments can last for many years.
- Streamlined treatment. Whenever possible, we try to perform multiple treatments simultaneously.
Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover
The cost of a smile makeover depends on which treatments you undergo and the extent of those treatments. Some procedures are relatively low-cost, while others may run thousands of dollars. During your consultation, we can provide an itemized cost estimate and help you understand your payment options. For example, certain restorative treatments might be partially covered by insurance. We also accept financing through CareCredit.
A smile makeover might seem a bit pricey, but remember that it is an investment in your confidence and long-term wellness!
Smile Makeover FAQs
Who is a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
Smile makeovers are as safe as any other cosmetic dental work, so nearly anyone can qualify for one. With that said, some patients do benefit more from them than others.
Ideal makeover candidates usually have severe smile flaws. After all, patients with tooth chips, fractures, stubborn stains, and similar issues get more out of treatment. Their grins will undergo a significant transformation compared to those with only minor dental flaws. Indeed, such patients should see a quick and visible improvement in how their smiles look.
All that said, a decent candidate can also want health benefits. A good smile makeover has the power to correct crooked teeth, making them easier to clean. It can also fix a broken, cracked, or painful tooth.
How Long is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover’s duration varies from patient to patient. Depending on your situation, treatment may require more or less time from your schedule.
Some smile makeovers take as little as a single dental visit. In fact, your own will likely be that quick if you’re only getting teeth whitening, dental bonding, and/or gum recontouring. The shortest of these procedures will often wrap up in just one hour.
In contrast, other makeovers can take multiple weeks or months. That’s especially true when you’re having restorations like veneers or dental crowns placed. To set these prosthetics on your smile properly, most dentists will have you visit several times.
Can You Undergo Multiple Procedures During One Appointment?
As a matter of fact, yes – a smile makeover can let you get multiple procedures during one visit. It’s just a matter of which services your overall treatment includes.
For example, say your makeover involves both teeth whitening and cosmetic bonding. These two procedures can be done during the same dental visit, as they require minimal time. You’ll simply need to ask your dentist to set them up that way.
A makeover could also prep your teeth for veneers and crowns on the same day. Both services require the same kind of etching, so doing that work would be simple enough. Just know that a visit involving more than one procedure will take longer than usual.
How Do You Maintain Smile Makeover Results?
Honestly, it isn’t hard to maintain smile makeover results. You can do so the same way you’d preserve any cosmetic dental work.
For instance, one great approach is to practice good oral hygiene. That means brushing twice daily, flossing once daily, and rinsing with mouthwash as needed. Through these habits, you’ll protect your grin from stains and cavity-related discoloration.
Another method is to attend dental checkups often. By seeing your dentist at least twice a year, you can catch and treat oral issues before they threaten your smile’s good looks. These visits will also remove built-up plaque and bacteria that tend to stain teeth.
