How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
To get started on your smile makeover journey, you will have to attend a consultation with your cosmetic dentist. During this appointment, our team will examine your mouth and ask about the specific ways in which you wish to change your appearance. Feel free to bring pictures to help us understand your goals! Once we gather adequate information, we can design your treatment plan.
A smile makeover might involve multiple treatments, such as:
- Restorative services to improve your oral health and function.
- Invisalign to address dental misalignment.
- Teeth whitening to remove stubborn discoloration.
- Gum recontouring to create a perfect, proportionate frame for your teeth.
- Veneers to hide imperfections like chips, cracks, small gaps, and more.
Depending on the specific treatments we recommend, your smile makeover might take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Whenever possible, we perform multiple treatments simultaneously to increase efficiency.
The Benefits of Getting a Smile Makeover
Your smile makeover may provide you with some of the following benefits:
- Improved dental function, especially in cases where Invisalign is used.
- Enhanced confidence in social situations.
- A lower risk of future oral health problems due to increased motivation to care well for your smile.
- Long-lasting results that may endure for years (for example, veneers often last for a decade or longer).
- A streamlined treatment process that aims to deliver results as efficiently as possible.
- Customized treatment that is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and preferences.
Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover
The cost of a smile makeover can vary greatly from case to case. It depends heavily on which treatments you undergo and the extent of those treatments. During your consultation, we can share some specific numbers. In certain cases, some procedures may be partially covered by insurance (this is often true of metal-free restorations).
Our team will do our best to accommodate your budget when designing your treatment plan. We will also help you understand your payment options. For example, most patients qualify for low-interest financing through a third-party lender like CareCredit or Cherry.
Smile Makeover FAQs
How Long is a Smile Makeover?
Since every smile makeover in Phoenix is a unique combination of cosmetic dentistry treatments, how long the process takes will ultimately depend on your specific plan. Don’t worry, though – you won’t be “flying blind!” The length of your treatment and the details of your availability are part of what we’ll discuss during your consultation. After talking things over with your cosmetic dentist, you’ll have a much more precise idea of what to expect.
Do Smile Makeovers Have an Age Limit?
Almost all of the treatments that can be included in a smile makeover plan are suitable for healthy adults ages 20+. In other words, there isn’t an age limit for smile makeovers. Your cosmetic dentist in Phoenix will be more concerned with the state of your oral health and making sure you’re set up for treatment success.
There is, however, somewhat of an age minimum for some dental cosmetics. This is simply because the teeth and dental anatomy aren’t done developing until the early-to-mid 20’s. Teeth whitening, for example, isn’t recommended for patients under the age of 14.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
If you want to correct several dental aesthetic flaws and have good oral health, you could be a good candidate for a smile makeover. This doesn’t mean, though, that an active case of cavities or gum disease will automatically disqualify you from treatment. Your cosmetic dentist can include preliminary treatments as part of your plan, which will take care of harmful conditions that could cause complications. Once your oral health is restored, you should be able to proceed with your smile makeover!
How Do You Maintain Smile Makeover Results?
You can help your smile makeover results last longer in much the same way you would maintain individual dental cosmetics or restorations. Here’s what we mean:
- Reduce your risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues by brushing your teeth twice daily and flossing once per day.
- Schedule a checkup and cleaning with our office every six months so we can help monitor your smile and touch-up your cosmetics when necessary.
- Minimize dental stains by avoiding darkly colored foods and drinks. If it would stain a countertop or carpet, it will probably tarnish your pearly whites!
- Don’t use your teeth as tools for opening packages, bottles, or other items.
- Do your best to quit or limit damaging dental habits like nail-biting and smoking.
- Get a custom mouthguard or nightguard to protect your pearly whites from rough sports or nightly teeth grinding and clenching.
