Common Questions About Smile Makeover
Q What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan that combines two or more cosmetic or restorative dental services to address multiple concerns about your smile. Rather than treating issues individually over time, a smile makeover looks at your smile as a whole. Your dentist builds a coordinated plan that delivers a comprehensive, natural-looking result.
Q How is a smile makeover different from a single cosmetic treatment?
A smile makeover is different from a single cosmetic treatment in that it addresses multiple concerns together rather than one at a time. A single treatment like whitening or bonding improves one aspect of your smile. A makeover combines the right services — in the right order — to improve your smile as a whole.
Q What treatments are included in a smile makeover?
The treatments included in a smile makeover depend on what you want to change about your smile. Common smile makeover services include dental veneers, professional teeth whitening, tooth bonding, teeth contouring, gum reshaping, gum recession treatment, Six Month Smiles orthodontics, and restorative treatments. Your dentist recommends the solutions that directly serve your goals.
Q How long does a smile makeover take?
How long a smile makeover takes depends on which treatments are included and how many concerns are being addressed. Some makeovers involving whitening and bonding can be completed in just a few visits. Others that include orthodontics or multiple restorative treatments may take several months to complete. At Dental West, Dr. Leavens shares your full treatment timeline during the consultation.
Q Is a smile makeover painful?
No, your smile makeover is not painful. Most treatments involve minimal discomfort. Any sensitivity is typically short-lived and manageable. Individual services like whitening and bonding require little to no anesthesia. More involved treatments like gum reshaping or veneer preparation are performed with local anesthesia. Oral sedation is available if you feel anxious about any part of the process..
Q How much does a smile makeover cost?
The cost of a smile makeover depends on the treatments you need, how many teeth are involved, and how complex your case is. Your dentist reviews the full cost of your recommended treatment plan during your consultation. We will create a plan that fits your budget while still maintaining the quality of your results. We also offer flexible payment options, including third-party financing.
Q Can a smile makeover improve my oral health as well as my appearance?
Yes, a smile makeover can improve your oral health in addition to your appearance. Treating gum recession protects exposed tooth roots from decay and sensitivity. Straightening misaligned teeth with Six Month Smiles makes them easier to clean. Replacing or repairing damaged teeth with restorative treatments restores proper function and prevents surrounding teeth from shifting or compensating.
Q How do I maintain my smile makeover results long-term?
Maintaining your smile makeover results long-term starts with consistent preventive care. Routine cleanings and exams allow your dentist to monitor your results and catch any early changes. Brushing and flossing daily, avoiding habits like nail biting or chewing on hard objects, and wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth help protect your investment.
