What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a comprehensive treatment that may involve any number of restorative and cosmetic dentistry services. Even though we call it a “makeover,” this treatment is not as focused on cosmetics as you may think. It may help to think of it as more of a smile reconstruction that can improve the form and function of your teeth – that is, the way they work AND look. Oftentimes, teeth become damaged due to misalignments that cause teeth grinding or jaw clenching. Dental injuries or genetic issues can also take away from the function and overall appearance of the smile.
What Are the Benefits of a Smile Makeover?
For people who need significant improvements to their teeth, a smile makeover offers several benefits. Some of the most significant advantages of choosing this method rather than piecemeal treatments completed over several years include:
- Your dentist can put together a single treatment plan for the most effective and attractive results.
- It is a comprehensive solution that considers how your teeth function together rather than just focusing on their appearance, though cosmetics are a major consideration, too.
- Having the treatments performed as part of a single treatment plan can save you time and money in the long run.
- Undergoing a smile makeover ensures all of the treatments are performed by the same dentist in West Palm Beach who knows what is best for your smile.
What Happens in a Smile Makeover?
To start, Dr. Asinmaz will first evaluate your teeth and oral structures to determine the best method and approach. He will have X-rays, impressions, and photographs taken of your smile to aid in the treatment planning phase. Then, based on this evaluation, we will discuss your options pertaining to general, cosmetic, and restorative treatments. Some of the most common treatments performed in a smile makeover include:
- Dental implants for missing teeth
- Dental crowns or bridges
- Orthodontic treatment
- Porcelain veneers
Whatever it is your smile requires, the smile makeover treatment plan will include these in the order that will ensure the process is completed as efficiently and effectively as possible. The total time it takes to complete a smile makeover depends on the treatments being performed. For example, dental implants and Invisalign clear braces may take a year to complete.
Smile Makeover FAQs
How Many Treatments Can You Include in a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover can incorporate any number of cosmetic and restorative dental procedures necessary to address the patient’s needs and preferences. For example, a person with severe dental stains may be able to address their problem with a series of treatments that includes veneers and teeth whitening. A patient who wishes to conceal extensive chips and cracks may need a smile makeover that involves veneers, metal-free restorations, and dental bonding. Some patients may also need to receive restorative treatments to address tooth decay and gum disease before they can safely undergo cosmetic procedures. The team at Palm Beach Dental Excellence will be happy to help you understand the best ways to achieve your ideal smile when we see you for your consultation at our office.
How Long Does a Smile Makeover Take?
Each smile makeover is completely customized based on the patient’s needs, preferences, and schedule, so one person’s treatment plan may take significantly more or less time to complete than that of another. Some procedures, like dental bonding and in-office teeth whitening, can be completed in a single office visit and involve only a brief recovery process if any. However, more extensive procedures like veneers and metal-free restorations may require several visits. The team at Palm Beach Dental Excellence will be glad to schedule your appointments for the most convenient times possible, and, if you are anxious about sitting in the treatment chair, we can provide sedation dental services that can make your appointments seem like they take no time at all.
Do Smile Makeovers Have an Age Limit?
With the exception of small children, patients of any age may be able to benefit from cosmetic dental treatments that can be included in smile makeovers. The most important factor in your candidacy for any cosmetic procedure is your oral health and hygiene habits, so you can probably qualify for aesthetic treatments if you are free from tooth decay and gum disease. In many cases, we may be able to address oral infections like these so a patient can become an excellent candidate for a smile makeover later. However, teeth whitening cannot usually be safely performed on developing teeth, so we typically recommend waiting for patients to turn at least fourteen before performing this treatment.
How Do You Maintain Smile Makeover Results?
The best way to preserve the results of your smile makeover is to practice excellent oral hygiene by brushing, flossing, and rinsing with antibacterial mouthwash every day while making smart eating decisions and avoiding bad habits like smoking, excessive alcohol intake, using your teeth to open packaging, and chewing on nonfood materials like plastic, wood, ice, metal, and fingernails. You should also visit our office in Palm Beach every six months for routine checkups. To prevent new dental stains, minimize your intake of richly colored foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, cola, juice, berries, candy, and dark sauces.
