How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
As we hinted at before, a smile makeover blends together several cosmetic and restorative treatments in order to address a variety of problems. The first step will be a consultation, where we’ll talk to you about the various treatments available to you and what each of them could do to improve your smile.
We’ll also take this time to create a model of your smile, one that can allow you to preview the results that each of these treatments will allow you to create for your smile. We offer an incredible variety of treatments, from laser teeth whitening to incredible porcelain veneers, meaning that we can guarantee that you’ll be able to get the care that you’re looking for.
The Benefits of Getting a Smile Makeover
Some of the benefits of a smile makeover are fairly obvious; the confidence your new smile will give you is incredible, allowing you to project your best self both professionally and personally. Improving your smile will also generally give you a much more youthful appearance.
However, there are also some incredible health benefits associated with a smile makeover. As a part of the process, we’ll find and treat oral health problems that you might not have been aware of, improving how you feel day-to-day. This is compounded if you’re also correcting a misaligned smile; this can improve your bite and ease tension on your jaw, preventing chronic pain.
And while a smile makeover may sound daunting, the treatments that we offer are incredibly efficient and effective. These streamlined treatments mean that you’ll be able to get the smile you’ve always wanted in no time at all!
Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover
Because the component treatments that make up a smile makeover can vary from patient to patient, it can be hard to tell you what one will cost you without meeting you first. But don’t worry! Before we begin treatment, we’ll be sure to give you a detailed explanation of each treatment and what it’s likely going to cost you.
We’ll also be sure to talk to you about the financing options we have available for our patients, as well as any other option that can make the treatment more affordable. Given that dental insurance rarely covers cosmetic treatment, this can be incredibly useful.
If you have any other questions in the meantime about this treatment, reach out to us. We’d be happy to talk to you!
Smile Makeover FAQs
How Many Treatments Can You Include in a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a treatment plan tailored to your smile goals. Because of its customizable nature, the number of treatments included can vary from patient to patient. Common procedures involved in a smile makeover include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, crowns, and cosmetic dental bonding. In some cases, more complex treatments like dental implants or bridges may be needed. Dr. Emanuel will assess your oral health and talk with you about your goals to recommend the ideal combination of treatments to give you a beautiful, lasting smile that’s all yours.
Is a Smile Makeover Worth It?
For many patients, a smile makeover is absolutely worth it! Beyond the cosmetic benefits, a smile makeover can boost your confidence, restore oral function, and even improve your overall health in subtle ways. By addressing multiple dental issues like discoloration, misalignment, or missing teeth, the makeover creates a more attractive smile that will really turn heads.
Patients often tell us about their experiences after their makeover and how it improved their self-esteem and helped them feel more comfortable at work or when they’re out with friends. The long-term benefits, both aesthetic and functional, make a smile makeover a valuable investment in your dental health and quality of life.
Is a Smile Makeover Covered by Insurance?
Smile makeovers typically involve a combination of cosmetic and restorative procedures. While cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening and porcelain veneers are often not covered by insurance, restorative procedures such as crowns, fillings, or implants may be partially covered depending on your provider.
Insurance coverage varies depending on your specific plan, so it’s important to look over your information and talk to our dental team to understand what portions of your smile makeover might be covered. If you don’t have insurance, our practice also accepts CareCredit financing to help you make your smile makeover more budget-friendly!
How Do You Maintain Smile Makeover Results?
The absolute best way to maintain the results of your smile makeover is to practice good oral hygiene habits! Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using mouthwash are all great ways you can care for your enhancements at home. For complete care, regular dental checkups and professional cleanings at our office are also important to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Other ways you could keep your smile sparkling include:
- Limit stain-causing indulgences like coffee, wine, and tobacco to help preserve the brightness of your smile.
- Wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth or play contact sports to protect your dental work from damage.
- Refrain from chewing on ice or other hard substances or using your teeth as tools for bottles and packaging.
