Am I a good candidate for a Smile Makeover?

The ideal candidate for a smile makeover is someone in good general health who has healthy teeth and gums, but is also unhappy with the appearance of their smile. A beautiful smile makeover can transform an otherwise healthy mouth into a work of art. All it takes to get started is a consultation with your dentist to discuss your goals and the different options available. Some patients may require soft tissue treatments or orthodontics before moving forward with cosmetic procedures.

There are several options for smile makeovers. The treatment process will be unique to you and the dentist will discuss which options are right for you during your consultation appointment. Most treatments take between one and three appointments to complete, but this can vary based on the type of procedure being completed. For example, porcelain veneers can be completed in two visits, while a complete smile makeover may take several visits over the course of several months.

Teeth whitening is another popular option, but it’s important to remember that it will not change the color of any bonded restorations such as fillings, crowns, or bridges. Patients with these restorations will need to whiten their teeth prior to beginning the restoration process so that the color matches their new tooth-colored restorations.

Other options include:

- Composite Fillings

- Dental Bonding

- Porcelain Veneers

- Whitening Gels

- Orthodontics for Straighter Teeth

- Gum Reshaping

- Tooth Contouring

- Gum Grafting

- Crowns

- Bridges

- Dental Implant Restorations

- Dentures

- Mouthguards
