Smile Makeover FAQs
We are confident in our abilities to make cosmetic treatment as stress-free as possible for our patients, but it’s unavoidable for people to be a little bit overwhelmed by the prospect of a smile makeover. It’s natural to have questions.
We’ll take the time to talk you through every part of the process before we start treatment, but until you can meet us in person, here are a few things you may want to know about smile makeovers.
Is a Smile Makeover Safe?
At Cary Dental Rejuvenation, we care deeply about the health and safety of our patients. As a consequence, we won’t do anything if we think that it would be risky for you.
Just about every kind of cosmetic dentistry you would get as a part of a smile makeover is completely free of risk. Many of the treatments, like teeth whitening and direct bonding, don’t even penetrate below the surface of the tooth. Even those that do, like veneers, only involve removing a small portion of enamel at the most.
The only way a smile makeover can be dangerous is if you have pre-existing oral health problems. For that reason, we’ll take the time to perform a thorough exam to make sure you’re a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry and treat any oral illnesses you have.
Are Smile Makeovers Expensive?
A smile makeover can consist of any number of treatments, and can therefore vary wildly in terms of cost. There are plenty of different kinds of cosmetic dental work, some of which are more expensive than others.
That said, smile makeovers tend to be on the pricier side simply by virtue of using multiple treatments. The more procedures you get, the more the whole process is likely to cost. The price of a smile makeover can also be affected by the severity of the issues you’re dealing with and which teeth you’re trying to fix.
While these procedures aren’t covered by dental insurance, you may be interested to learn that we have a membership plan that affords you a 15% discount on any procedure you receive from us. Considering you’re going to see us several times over the course of a smile makeover, we’d be happy to talk about whether it could save you cash in the long term.
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
The lifespan of cosmetic dentistry depends on what treatment you go for, with faster treatments like direct bonding having a shorter life cycle than, say, veneers. Some cosmetic treatments are even permanent—for example, the results from Invisalign treatment can last a lifetime if you wear your retainer.
If you’re interested in protecting other kinds of dental work, you should make sure that your oral hygiene is where it needs to be. You should also make it a point to see us for regular dental checkups to make sure you catch any problems early.
Can I See Smile Makeover Results Ahead of Time?
At Cary Dental Rejuvenation, we are proud to make use of the latest in virtual smile design technology, which can allow you to digitally preview what your teeth will look like once any given cosmetic treatment has been completed.
We also take before and after photos of all of our patients, so you can see the actual work we’ve done if you want to get a realistic idea of what to expect. Having these images in mind may be able to put you at ease throughout the procedure.
How Many Treatments Can You Include in a Smile Makeover?
The great news is that you can include as many treatments as you want in a smile makeover! It all depends on the cosmetic procedures your dentist offers, and how you’d like to change your smile.
An in-person consultation with Dr. Singh can help you decide on an optimized treatment plan. That way, you’ll get the right number of services for your smile and your budget!
Do Smile Makeovers Have an Age Limit?
Given how complex they can be, you may be wondering if a smile makeover has an age limit or minimum.
With the exception of toddlers and young children, patients of any age can undergo a smile makeover.
Qualifying for treatment has less to do with your age and more to do with your overall health. You can be an excellent candidate as long as you are free of tooth decay, gum disease and other oral health problems. Even if you’re not, Dr. Singh can easily treat these issues so you can qualify for a smile makeover later!
The only major exception to this is teeth whitening. In general, most dentists recommend waiting until after the age of 14 before undergoing this treatment.
How Do You Maintain Smile Makeover Results?
The best way to maintain your smile makeover results is to practice excellent oral hygiene. Be sure to remember to brush your teeth twice daily, floss at least once a day, and rinse well with mouthwash as needed.
Furthermore, be sure to visit Dr. Singh twice a year for your preventive check-up and cleaning appointments. Doing so will allow him to diagnose and treat any issues that could threaten your newly improved smile.
If your smile makeover involves prosthetics, it is important to avoid any bad oral habits such as grinding your teeth or chewing ice cubes, as these can chip crowns and veneers.
You can also minimize dental stains by avoiding dark colored foods and beverages like wine and coffee.
Can You Undergo Multiple Procedures During One Appointment?
A smile makeover does allow you to undergo multiple procedures during one appointment. For example, you may receive professional whitening as well as dental bonding.
Alternatively, an appointment may prep your teeth for veneers and some for crowns.
However, do be aware that any appointment that involves more than one treatment will take longer than usual.
