How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
A smile makeover could involve a variety of treatments, from veneers to metal-free crowns to dental bonding to teeth whitening. It all depends on what the state of your smile currently is and what cosmetic issues you’re looking to address.
Before we can start planning your smile makeover, you’ll first need to visit us for your initial consultation. We’ll ask about what your goals for the process are; if it helps you explain, you can bring pictures of smiles that have the traits you want.
Next, we’ll need to thoroughly examine your smile. We won’t just look at your teeth; we’ll also take note of your skin tone and other facial features that can affect the way your grin looks. This way, not only can we figure out what kind of cosmetic treatment is right for you, but we can also ensure that the results are eye-catching in all the right ways.
The Benefits of Getting a Smile Makeover
- Better Self-Esteem: You should never feel embarrassed about showing your smile to the world. A smile makeover can help correct all the issues that make it difficult to feel confident about your grin.
- Better Oral Health: If you have any chipped or cracked teeth, we can treat the problem during your smile makeover in order to protect the overall health of your mouth.
- A Younger Appearance: Yellowed teeth and other dental flaws can make you look older than you actually are, but oftentimes a smile makeover can help you take several years off of your appearance.
- Long-Lasting Results: While each treatment has a different expected lifespan, you can often maintain the enhanced appearance of your smile for many years.
Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover
We can estimate the amount your smile makeover is likely to cost after examining your mouth. Each treatment that makes up your smile makeover plan will have a separate cost. Remember that you have the option of applying for financing via CareCredit if you would like to pay in installments instead of in a single lump sum.
Smile Makeover FAQs
How Many Treatments Can You Include in a Smile Makeover?
You can include as many treatments as you want in a smile makeover! The goal is to streamline what would otherwise be a rather involved process, so the sky’s the limit. If you want to completely transform your grin, you can do that with a smile makeover.
Part of what we’ll discuss during your consultation will be the best way to go about cosmetically enhancing your teeth. If you have multiple cracks and dental stains and would like a brighter smile, for example, we might recommend a combination of teeth whitening, dental bonding, and porcelain veneers. Rest assured, your smile makeover will be completely personalized to suit your unique needs and preferences!
Can A Smile Makeover Align Your Smile, Bite, or Jaw?
A smile makeover can cosmetically align your teeth so that they appear more even. Porcelain veneers and dental bonding are both specific treatments that can reshape your pearly whites for a more balanced look. However, the only way to physicallyreposition your jaw or bite is with orthodontics.
After your oral exam, we’ll be able to tell you which option would be best for your smile.
Is a Smile Makeover Covered by Insurance?
Most cosmetic dentistry treatments that would be included in a smile makeover are not covered by dental insurance.
That said, your dental insurance plan may cover some of the costs related to other aspects of your treatment. Tooth-colored fillings and crowns, for example, are still dental restorations that will treat damaged or decayed teeth and protect their weakened structure.
Our office accepts all PPO dental insurance plans, so we can help you determine how much coverage to expect for your smile makeover. Just say the word, and we’ll be happy to review your plan and ensure you save as much money as possible!
How Do You Maintain Smile Makeover Results?
The number one “rule” to taking care of your teeth after a smile makeover is practicing good oral hygiene habits. That means brushing twice daily and flossing once per day. Visiting your cosmetic dentist in Landrum is another great way to preserve your results, as we can eliminate stubborn bacteria that can’t be removed with a toothbrush.
To really help your smile makeover results go the distance, we also recommend avoiding darkly colored foods and drinks and overly hard, crunchy snacks. Red wine, berries, coffee, tea, and other similar treats can quickly stain your teeth when enjoyed too frequently, while hard substances put a physical strain on your pearly whites that could cause breakage.
