The FAQs of Smile Makeover Procedures

A smile makeover comprises multiple cosmetic dental treatments performed to enhance the way your smile looks. The experience is unique for each person since the treatments selected are based on their unique needs. By the time the smile makeover is complete, the patient should be happy with the way their teeth look.

Smile makeover FAQs

Thinking about tackling all those cosmetic issues that make your smile look less than spectacular? Here are the answers to commonly asked questions about smile makeovers:

1. How long does the smile makeover process take?

There is no fixed answer to that question. Smile makeovers are unique for each patient, so it comes down to the treatments selected. Some of the treatments used during smile makeovers – like composite bonding – can be completed in as little as 45 minutes. Other procedures like replacing missing teeth with implants can take up to six months to complete.

Treatment times are even longer if a patient needs teeth straightening treatments. Treatments times with appliances like braces and clear aligners can be up to three years.

2. What are the benefits of getting a smile makeover?

A smile makeover gives patients a smile they can be proud of. It is performed primarily to address cosmetic issues, but many of the treatments used also give patients restorative benefits. Improving the way a person’s smile look gives them a confidence boost, and it makes them more attractive to those they interact with.

Other benefits that come with smile makeovers include:

  • Improved oral and overall health
  • Smiling more often
  • Increased confidence and wellbeing

3. How is a cosmetic makeover plan crafted?

Getting a cosmetic makeover starts with a consultation with a dentist. During the appointment, the patient’s teeth are evaluated, searching for issues that negatively impact the appearance of their smile. The dentist also gets the patient’s feedback on how they want their smile to look and how soon they want their cosmetic issues addressed.

Dentists often opt to treat existing dental issues first before proceeding with the smile makeover. Some of the treatments used will also give the patient restorative benefits.

4. What is the difference between a cosmetic or restorative dental treatment?

Cosmetic dental treatments are carried out to restore or improve the appearance of a person’s teeth, while restorative treatments are performed to restore a damaged tooth’s function. Many treatments used in dentistry – like the placement of crowns – have restorative and cosmetic benefits.

Teeth whitening treatments are an example of a purely cosmetic treatment. It improves the color of the patient’s teeth, but it does not improve their function in any way. An example of a restorative dental treatment would be root canal therapy. It is used to prevent and treat infections, but the procedure does not improve the appearance of the treated tooth. A crown is usually placed on a tooth that has been restored with a root canal to improve its appearance.
