Give us a call to get your next appointment set up!
When you arrive for your initial consultation, we’ll listen to your concerns and questions as well as perform a detailed exam to better understand your needs. We’ll explain all treatments our office provides and break down which services we think will best enhance your smile. These typically include veneers, metal-free restorations, cosmetic dental bonding, Invisalign, and teeth whitening. We also utilize a digital imaging software that can show what your smile looks like following a specific treatment. This can make it much easier to envision your future smile before committing to any procedure.
Keep in mind that a smile makeover isn’t always necessarily beneficial for your appearance. While that is the main goal, you may also notice improved mouth function (particularly if you’re receiving custom restorations like crowns or orthodontic treatment like Invisalign to realign the positions of your teeth.)
What you can definitely expect from your smile makeover is a smile that is more youthful, resulting in a younger overall appearance. This is sure to give you a healthy boost of confidence and make it easier for you to show off your smile when socializing with friends and family.
You can expect the results of your smile makeover to be long-lasting as well. As long as you practice proper oral hygiene at home and maintain routine dental checkups, you can expect your smile to continue looking beautiful.
The cost of your smile makeover will vary greatly depending on the number and type of cosmetic dental services you receive. Our dentists will walk you through your proposed treatment plan so you aren’t caught off guard by your final bill. Keep in mind that cosmetic dental treatments are not typically covered by dental insurance, which means that if you cannot make use of your benefits you will need to look for other options to finance your care. For example, third-party financing through CareCredit can make it easier to fit a smile makeover into your budget without breaking the bank.
A smile makeover can include as many treatments as you want. In fact, the limit will depend on which cosmetic options a dentist offers.
For instance, just look at our own office. Dr. Fromuth could brighten your smile with teeth whitening, dental bonding, and veneers. If you want to hide chips or cracks, you might get veneers and tooth-colored crowns. Any mix of these procedures would be possible.
To learn which options suit you best, consult your local dental practice. They’ll help you settle on an optimized treatment plan. From there, you’ll be on your way to a better smile that’s budget-friendly.
Since they include many procedures, you may fear that smile makeovers hurt. Well, you needn’t worry; the makeover process is painless. Dentists always ensure this service is smooth and comfy.
First of all, note that most cosmetic dental work isn't invasive. It often just involves the application of gels and resins. As such, it won’t alter your existing tooth structure. (With teeth whitening and dental bonding, you don't even need to take anesthesia.)
Even with the more invasive services, dentists act with care. They’ll usually numb your mouth before shaping teeth for veneers or crowns. That way, you won’t feel any pain as they remove bits of enamel. (At our own office, you can also get sedation to reduce fear and potential aches.)
Yes, smile makeovers are complex. That much is natural – they rely on many cosmetic services! Even so, they don’t have age limits.
Except for toddlers and young kids, pretty much anyone can get a smile makeover. Qualifying for one depends less on age and more on oral health. So long as you’re free of cavities and gum disease, you’ll be a fine candidate. (Plus, a dentist can always treat your oral issues before doing the makeover.)
All that said, the only exception is teeth whitening for teenagers. Patients should wait until they’re at least 14 before seeking a brighter grin.
Ultimately, there are several ways to maintain smile makeover results. The best ones are:
