Choose with Confidence: Key Questions to Ask Before Your Smile Makeover

When it comes to getting an aesthetic grin you love, it’s important you feel confident in making decisions for it. You will be investing a lot of time and money, so you should feel the best about choosing what you want. A consultation about your smile makeover helps ensure you reach your goals, and this visit is a great opportunity to learn about anything you want! You can do this by asking the right questions, so here are a couple you can start your list with.

What Will My Treatment Plan Be?

A smile makeover varies from patient to patient. It changes depending on every individual’s needs, and your case is no different! Your dentist will listen to what you are expecting and want your outcome to be. They will create a plan according to it and recommend treatments that will get you there.

For some people, they may only need one or two services to get a set of teeth they feel confident in. Others may need a bit more work, but your dentist is here to help it be comprehensive and effective.

How Will My Results Look? How Long Will They Last?

You might be worried about how your results will look, so it’s important you clear up any concerns you have with your dentist. Thankfully, they aim to make sure that your smile ends up natural-looking and beautiful. By working with high-quality materials in dental labs and advanced dental instruments, they can tailor shades, shapes, and sizes to ensure teeth whitening, veneers, restorations, and everything else comes out exactly how you want.

Not only that, but you should ask about the lifespan of all the services that are laid out for you. Knowing how long you can enjoy your aesthetic results can help you come up with a decision you feel is best.

Do You Offer Financing Options?

Last but not least, any treatment in your smile makeover is, again, an investment! You should understand how you will be able to pay for it without any surprise bills or invoices later on. Since cosmetic treatments typically aren’t covered by dental insurance, you can inquire about third-party financiers (such as CareCredit) to break down payments into monthly installments, oftentimes with little to no interest.

That being said, if you are getting restorative or preventive care as part of your plan, a portion of it can be paid for by your insurance, but it depends on your benefits.

Any questions you have are good enough to bring up. Talk through them with your provider and get any loose ends securely tied; that way, you feel confident after everything is said and done.
