What Is a Smile Makeover?
This treatment combines several cosmetic dental treatments to improve the appearance of teeth and gums. It is a blend of artistry and technology that can provide transformative results.
Personalized planning is a crucial component of this treatment, and the outcome is expected to enhance the overall appearance of your teeth, potentially boosting your self-confidence and selfesteem
Common Concerns Addressed during a Smile Makeover
A well-planned smile makeover can address numerous concerns, which include:
- Discoloured and stained teeth.
- Chipped and cracked teeth.
- Teeth that are worn down or too small.
- A gummy smile or an unevenly contoured gum line.
- Crooked teeth, which may be unevenly spaced or have unsightly gaps between them.
Treatments Commonly Used during a Smile Makeover
Treatments typically used during a smile makeover can include:
- Tooth contouring.
- Porcelain veneers.
- Teeth whitening.
- Gum contouring.
- Dental bonding.
Other treatments may also be used during a smile makeover, particularly if issues exist that require treatment, such as tooth decay, which must be addressed to ensure the smile makeover is a long-term success.
More advanced treatments, such as orthodontics, can be used to address severe misalignment and bite problems, straightening teeth before improving their appearance with other treatments like teeth whitening and porcelain veneers.
Treatments We Offer
The reason we suggest combining treatments is that it can prove more cost-effective and provide a more conservative approach to a smile makeover
For example, some teeth may respond well to a teeth whitening treatment while others are less receptive. In this case, we could complete a teeth whitening treatment before selectively veneering certain teeth to create a uniform and more attractive smile.
The Smile Makeover Process
The process for your smile makeover may require several visits, depending on the treatments selected and your oral health needs. A general outline of what to expect is below.
Consultation and In-Depth Discussion of Your Treatment Goals
Your smile makeover journey begins with an in-depth discussion with our cosmetic dentist. The purpose of this appointment is to identify your concerns and learn about the imperfections you would like addressed. We also want to learn about your treatment goals and what you would like to achieve, so we can tailor your plan to meet and hopefully exceed these aims.
Digital Smile Design
Our dental office utilizes Exocad Smile Creator, a state-of-the-art smile design technology. Our dentist will take digital photos and a 3-D scan of your teeth, which can be uploaded into the software.
The software automatically creates a digital 3-D model that our experienced cosmetic dentist can edit. The result is a 3D image that you can view from various angles, creating a virtual representation that shows how certain treatments can help you achieve your goals.
We can provide multiple images to guide you through various treatments, allowing you to preview your new smile before committing to a specific plan.
Finalizing Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Once you have a clear idea of what can be achieved, we can finalize your treatment plan. The plan will outline the recommended treatments, anticipated costs, and the time required to complete your smile makeover.
Time can be a crucial factor, especially since many people plan a smile makeover in preparation for a special life event or milestone.
Ideally, we recommend allowing plenty of time to complete your smile makeover so you can enjoy the process, especially if you anticipate needing lengthier treatments, such as orthodontics, which may take longer to complete. If you wish to make minor modifications to the appearance of your teeth, then treatment can often be completed relatively quickly.
Phasing Your Treatments
We can work with you to plan each treatment phase and schedule appointments at convenient times. Often, with a smile makeover, cosmetic dental treatments must be completed in a specific order before moving on to the next phase.
Completing Your Transformation and Aftercare Advice
Once you have completed your smile makeover plan, we can review the results with you to ensure you are entirely happy with the outcome. We provide personalized aftercare advice to help you maintain the results of your smile makeover for longer, including oral hygiene and dietary tips, as well as recommendations on how frequently to schedule dental exams and hygiene appointments.
