A Brief, Easy To Understand Guide To Smile Makeovers

Have you hear the term “Smile Makeover” but are not quite sure what it is? Then you’re in the right place! Below you’ll find a short, easy to understand guide about Smile Makeovers so you have a clear idea of the basics.

The first thing to know about Smile Makeovers is that the term doesn’t refer to a specific treatment or procedure. A Smile Makeover is really a custom solution designed to give you the smile of your dreams. You and your dentist will work together to come up with a unique treatment plan for your Smile Makeover. No two smiles are the same. And neither are any two Smile Makeovers.

When planning a Smile Makeover, a number of factors are looked at. First are your teeth. Their color, size, alignment, shape and more are considered. Besides the teeth, your cosmetic dentist will also look at your facial appearance, gum tissue, lips and even your hair color may come into play when planning your Smile Makeover.

There are a number of dental issues that Smile Makeovers can fix. These include:

• Alignment
• Spacing
• Color
• Missing teeth
• Uneven gum line
• Gummy smiles
• Chipped/cracked/uneven teeth

To treat any or all of these issues, your cosmetic dentist will need to use a number of cosmetic dentistry treatments and/or procedures to craft your winning smile.

Treatments that may be a part of your Smile Makeover plan include:

• Teeth whitening
• Orthodontics (braces)
• Crowns
• Veneers
• Oral maxillofacial surgery

As is the case with most cosmetic dentistry procedures, your mouth needs to be in good health before you get a Smile Makeover.

The Costs of a Smile Makeover

You’ll find a wide range of costs associated with most cosmetic dentistry treatments. And that is even more the case with a Smile Makeover. So providing any sort of average costs for a Smile Makeover extremely difficult.

That’s because so much of the costs involved in a Smile Makeover depend on your specific situation. What specific treatments your cosmetic dentist will be using. How many treatments are required. What kind of technology and materials are used. All this has a huge impact on costs.

Costs will also vary based on where you live, your dentist’s level of training and experience, and whether or not you’ll require anesthesia during your procedure(s).

Choosing a Cosmetic Dentist For Your Smile Makeover

At the end of the day, the end result of a Smile Makeover is as much about the cosmetic dentist you use as anything else. So finding a good one is critical to getting the best results possible.

The work that goes into shaping and creating the smile of your dreams is about more than the procedures involved. There’s an artistry involved. And that artistic side is a key part of the equation to consider when choosing a cosmetic dentist for your Smile Makeover. That artistry is hard to measure because it is can’t be measured by degrees on the wall or advanced training.

The best advice we can give you here is do your research! Talk to a number of different cosmetic dentists. Try to talk to past patients of each. Ask to see before and after photos. Find as many reviews as possible.

Yes, that can be a lot of work. But a Smile Makeover is a big deal. And putting in the time for research up front can make all the difference in how happy you are with the finished product… your smile!
