Procedures to Consider for Your Smile Makeover
You may have seen many makeover videos on YouTube where people redefine their appearance with a new hairstyle, a new wardrobe, or an upgrade to their car or home. But what about your smile? Have you ever considered enhancing your smile? Now, if the term Smile Makeover sounds like a veiled threat to your bank account, don’t worry. At Pearls of Dentistry, Drs. Juergen Langenbach and Lynne Thomas know how to find the right smile enhancement for your needs and budget.
What’s a Smile Makeover? And What Can It Do for Me?
A smile makeover can be a single treatment or a combination of treatments to fix cosmetic imperfections such as stained, chipped, or uneven teeth. These makeovers can provide a massive boost to both your health and how your smile looks. You will:
- Feel a lot more comfortable taking photos
- Smile without moving your hand to your mouth
- Make stronger first impressions
- Feel more confident speaking up
- Have stronger teeth
- Better alignment
- And a smile you’ll feel confident to show off
Because you see, while the treatment may be cosmetic, the confidence you feel will run much deeper.
What Cosmetic Treatments Are Available with A Smile Makeover?
There are many different options when getting a smile makeover. Professional teeth whitening is among the most popular. You can also get cosmetic resin bondings, which are predominantly additive, or porcelain veneers to cover minor flaws such as chips and gaps. We tailor plans to help you achieve your desired outcome and can mix and match treatments to create the perfect makeover option.
How Can I Tell If I Only Need Cosmetic Treatment or Something More Extensive?
If your problem isn’t deeper than stains, chips, or misaligned teeth, a cosmetic treatment plan is likely enough. However, if you’re also experiencing symptoms of gum disease, tooth decay, or teeth clenching or grinding, we would want to address those issues first before considering anything cosmetic. Remember, your health comes first and our goal with your cosmetic investment is for the outcome to last as long as possible.Â
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Only Affordable for the Rich and Famous?
You don’t have to be a movie star or a billionaire tech wiz to own a perfect smile. Our smile makeovers are customizable for any need and budget. These treatments all have different price ranges, and you can often find special savings and programs. Your perfect smile may be more within reach than you think, so see us and let’s discuss some options designed for you.
How Much Do Smile Makeovers Usually Cost, and Are There Financing Options?
Prices of specific treatments will vary. Tooth whitening, for example, can cost a few hundred dollars, while treatments like Invisalign or veneers typically run higher. But don’t worry; with our easy financing options, you can pay over time while enjoying all the benefits of your tailor-made smile.
How Long Does It Take to Get a Smile Makeover?
The time it takes depends on your smile makeover plan. If you need tooth whitening, you can typically expect to spend 1-2 hours in the office. Cosmetic resin bondings may take a couple of hours, veneers a couple of weeks, and Invisalign treatment could take a few months to over a year. Some treatments are quick and easy, while others are more extensive and require more engineering and time investment. But one thing is sure: the result will be worth every minute.
What Can I Expect During My First Smile Makeover Consultation?
During your first visit, you’ll sit down with your dentist to discuss what you’re looking for in your new smile. You’ll tell them everything you want to improve; we’ll start with comprehensive records to develop a good baseline record by taking scans, radiographs, and photos, then lay out your treatment options. You can ask us anything you like and expect clear answers with no pressure, just smile, makeover options, and honest expert opinion.
