How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
Simply put, every smile makeover is different for every patient, since everyone’s goals are going to vary. However, the first step is always an initial consultation at our office so that our team can examine your smile, speak openly with you about what you want to accomplish, and give you an idea of what you can expect and what’s possible.
We can also utilize digital treatment planning to give you a preview of what certain treatments will look like before we get started. Once we’ve done all of this, we’ll begin selecting the services that are right for you. Smile makeover treatment plans are designed with efficiency in mind, so even if you have multiple teeth with multiple aesthetic flaws, you won't have to worry about a time-consuming or complicated process.
The Benefits of Getting a Smile Makeover
There are many reasons why you might choose to give your smile a full makeover, including:
- You’ll notice an immediate boost in your confidence once you’re happy with how your smile looks.
- Certain treatments, like metal-free restorations, can also improve the overall function of your mouth, as well as improve your smile aesthetics.
- Removing the flaws from your smile can noticeably make you look much younger.
- Most patients feel highly motivated to practice better oral hygiene following their smile makeover, which bolsters their overall oral wellness.
Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover
Since every smile makeover is inherently different, the price tag tends to vary greatly from patient to patient. Generally speaking, if only a couple of services are needed, it will run cheaper than if complex work or numerous services are involved. That said, we can only give you an accurate estimate of how much you’ll pay once we’ve met with you and examined your smile.
Keep in mind that dental insurance does not normally cover cosmetic dental services in Alpharetta, with a few exceptions—such as a metal-free dental restoration that also comes with oral health benefits. That said, there are still ways of making the cost more manageable. Our office is partnered with CareCredit, a third-party financer that offers flexible payment plans to qualifying patients. This means you’ll be able to comfortably fit your smile makeover within your budget. Just contact our team for more details!
Smile Makeover FAQs
How Many Treatments Can You Include in a Smile Makeover?
You can include as many cosmetic and restorative procedures as you like in your smile makeover, and your options are only limited by what your oral health provider offers. When we see you at our office in Alpharetta for your consultation, we will thoroughly evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals for your smile so we can develop a customized treatment plan designed to address your needs and desires. For example, a patient who wishes to conceal extensive chips, cracks, and fractures may need a smile makeover that includes veneers and metal-free dental restorations designed to rebuild and reshape their smile. A patient who wishes to address minor chips and dental stains, on the other hand, may require a less intensive treatment plan that includes teeth whitening and cosmetic dental bonding. When developing your smile makeover, we’ll be sure to book each treatment in a way that fits your schedule and allows sufficient time for any recovery periods needed between treatments.
How Long Is a Smile Makeover?
The timeframe associated with a smile makeover can vary considerably from patient to patient. A patient who wishes to address minor dental defects may only need as little as a few weeks to achieve their goals, but a person who wishes to resolve extensive issues like tooth loss and advanced decay may require a year or more. The length of your treatment timeframe will also be influenced by when you can fit the associated cosmetic and restorative dental procedures in your schedule. Less intensive procedures like teeth whitening and cosmetic bonding can often be completed in single appointments, but more extensive treatments like crowns and veneers may require several weeks.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
Virtually everyone who is free from oral infections and unsatisfied with their smile can be an excellent candidate for a smile makeover. Even if you have ongoing tooth decay or gum disease, the team at Alpharetta Modern Dentistry will be happy to address these problems with appropriate restorative treatments so you can become an excellent smile makeover candidate later. While health conditions like pregnancy, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, and hemophilia can complicate a smile makeover, they do not necessarily disqualify a patient, so please be thorough when discussing your medical history during your consultation at our office.
Notably, teeth whitening treatments are not usually recommended for patients under the age of fourteen since they cannot be safely administered before the teeth are sufficiently matured.
