Ask Your Dentist These 4 Questions Before Getting a Smile Makeover

If you’re unhappy with multiple aspects of your smile, you may be wondering if there’s any way to fix them. The great news is that with cosmetic dentistry, your dentist can correct these flaws, giving you the gorgeous, glowing grin you deserve. But before you commit to a smile makeover, be sure you know the answers to these four important questions.

What Can I Change with a Smile Makeover?

The first question most people have is wondering exactly what they can change with a smile makeover. The great news is that this treatment can involve multiple procedures that address a wide range of issues, including:

• The color of your teeth
• The shape and size of your teeth
• Repairing chips or uneven edges
• Replacing metal fillings or restorations
• Reduction of excess gum tissue
• Closing gaps between teeth

Your dentist can help you determine which procedures are best for your individual smile to get you the results you want in the most efficient way possible.

How Long Will My Smile Makeover Take?

The length of your smile makeover will depend on which procedures you’ll be having. While some treatments can be done in as little as an hour, some may take a bit longer, and may require more trips to the dentist. Your dentist can give you a more accurate timeline during your consultation appointment.

How Can I Make My Smile Makeover Results Last?

While most cosmetic procedures won’t last forever, some treatments could last up to 20 years or more. Still, you’ll likely want to get the most from your new smile. The good news is that maintaining your results shouldn’t require any extra steps. Simply brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss daily, and visit your dentist every six months for your routine preventive check-up and cleaning appointments. You may also want to consider some lifestyle or dietary changes, such as quitting smoking and avoiding dark, staining foods and beverages.

How Much Do Smile Makeovers Cost?

Because of the highly personalized nature of a smile makeover, there is no flat fee for this treatment. It depends on how many procedures you need, how much work they entail, and if you need any preliminary treatment such as gum disease therapy or fillings first. Be aware that in most cases, dental insurance will not cover cosmetic dentistry, but your dental office will be happy to verify your benefits with your provider on your behalf. They may also offer in-house membership plans that provide discounts on treatment or accept flexible financing to help you split up your total balance into more affordable payments.

Remember, if you’d like to change multiple aspects of your smile, a makeover from your dentist can transform your grin in a way that truly reflects your desires. To learn more about how this treatment can help you, schedule a consultation with your dentist today!
