Frequently Asked Questions About Smile Makeovers
Q What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a customized treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic treatments to improve the overall appearance of a smile. Rather than addressing one issue at a time, it coordinates several changes, like color and shape, into a single, unified plan designed around a patient's goals.
Q What treatments are typically included in a smile makeover?
Q How is a smile makeover different from a single cosmetic treatment?
A smile makeover differs from a single cosmetic treatment by combining several changes into one coordinated plan, rather than addressing just one issue. This allows a dentist to plan treatments so they complement each other, creating a more complete change than any single treatment could achieve alone.
Q How long does a smile makeover take to complete?
How long a smile makeover takes depends on which treatments are included in the plan. A makeover using only whitening or bonding might be finished in a single visit, while one that includes veneers or Invisalign can take several weeks or months to complete.
Q How much planning goes into a smile makeover?
Planning a smile makeover typically starts with a conversation about a patient's goals, followed by a full evaluation of the teeth and bite. A dentist then sequences the treatments in the order that will achieve the best combined outcome for the whole smile once everything is finished.
Q Who is a good candidate for a smile makeover?
A good candidate for a smile makeover generally has healthy teeth and gums, with cosmetic goals that involve more than one type of change. Patients with underlying dental issues, like decay or gum disease, typically need those treated first before starting cosmetic work on the smile.
Q How much does a smile makeover typically cost?
The cost of a smile makeover varies widely depending on which treatments are included and how many teeth are involved in the overall plan. A plan using only whitening or bonding typically costs less than one that combines several treatments into a complete redesign of the smile.
Q How should a patient care for their smile after a makeover?
Caring for a smile after a makeover generally involves the same habits as before, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits. Avoiding hard foods and habits like teeth grinding can also help protect veneers, bonding, or other treatments.
