The Benefits of Getting a Smile Makeover
Many of our patients choose a smile makeover due to the variety of benefits the treatment offers, including:
- It can improve your oral health and function in addition to appearance.
- Enjoy a confidence boost with a smile that you feel proud to show off in pictures and to others!
- Experience less social anxiety and isolation due to low self-esteem caused by dental discoloration, damage, and misalignment.
- The process is streamlined, allowing you to address all flaws in a single plan instead of one issue at a time.
Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover
The cost of a smile makeover in Springfield will largely be determined by what procedures are included in your treatment plan. More complex issues, like tooth loss and bite problems, will likely require lengthier and more extensive treatments, like dental implants and SureSmile clear aligners. On the other hand, less extensive services like teeth whitening, dental bonding, and metal-free restorations typically have a lower cost.
Our team will walk you through your treatment plan and discuss your financial options with you. Not only will we file claims with your dental insurance company on your behalf if it’s applicable, but we also partner with financiers to offer monthly payment plans.
Smile Makeover FAQs
How Long is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover’s duration varies from patient to patient. Depending on the number (and type) of procedures it includes, the overall treatment could take a short or long time.
To give an example, say that your makeover only includes non-invasive procedures. These might range from standard in-office teeth whitening and dental bonding to gum recontouring. In this scenario, your makeover should only take a day; the shortest of the procedures could even finish in an hour.
Alternatively, perhaps your makeover features invasive dental work. The dentist may need to place dental veneers or crowns as part of the overall treatment. If that’s the case, your makeover could potentially take weeks or even months. The process of placing dental restorations requires several dental visits, with each appointment playing a crucial role.
Is a Smile Makeover Safe?
You can rest assured that a proper smile makeover is safe. When performed by a qualified dentist, the treatment won’t harm your teeth, gums, or the rest of your mouth.
First, the procedures included in a makeover often aren’t invasive. Common ones like teeth whitening and dental bonding don’t alter your tooth structure; they just apply gels and resins. The applied materials are non-toxic as well, so they don’t damage tooth enamel or gum tissue.
Dentists also take precautions with invasive cosmetic work. For example, they’ll only remove the minimum amount of enamel necessary to place veneers and crowns. These prosthetics also compensate for the removed bits by protecting your otherwise-exposed teeth.
How Many Treatments Can You Include in a Smile Makeover?
Your smile makeover can potentially include as many procedures as you want. All in all, the final number will depend on what options your dentist offers.
Imagine a patient who only wants their makeover to brighten their smile. For treatment, they could get a combination of teeth whitening, dental bonding, and porcelain veneers. Each of these procedures can help a grin look cleaner and brighter, and a makeover can easily incorporate all three of them.
In contrast, maybe you just want to hide tooth chips or cracks. Your makeover could thus feature both dental veneers and metal-free crowns. These two restoration options hide smile damage, and there’s no reason a makeover can’t include both.
Can a Smile Makeover Align Your Smile, Bite, or Jaw?
Depending on what a practice offers, a smile makeover could align your smile, bite, or jaw. You’ll just need to bring up the matter at your initial consultation.
Consider our own office, for instance. We happen to offer SureSmile clear aligners – trays that align crooked teeth and bites – as one of our cosmetic dental options. If you include them in your makeover, your final treatment should make your grin much straighter than before.
For patients seeking an aligned appearance, we offer additional options. Well-placed veneers could hide your crooked or misshapen teeth from view. Similarly, dental bonding would cover up a misshapen tooth or two with its enamel-colored resin.
