Your questions about aesthetic dentistry and smile makeovers, answered.
Drs. Ty and Chad Bodily of Seasons Dental assist Burley, Idaho, area patients with a wide selection of aesthetic dentistry services, which may or may not include a customized smile makeover. Cosmetic dentistry has become more affordable than ever, and patients are often asking about smile makeovers as a way of completely transforming how they look. Below are just a few of the more commonly asked questions heard from our team regarding cosmetic treatments and the smile makeover plan.
What exactly is a “smile makeover?”
Our team at Seasons Dental describes the smile makeover as a personalized treatment plan designed to enhance the appearance of your smile. It combines cosmetic dentistry procedures, including professional teeth whitening, veneers, and orthodontics, to address multiple aesthetic concerns and create the beautiful smile you desire.
What are some common cosmetic dental procedures included in a smile makeover?
Some of our more popular cosmetic dental procedures included in a smile makeover are:
- Teeth whitening: This aesthetic procedure uses bleaching agents to lighten the color of your existing teeth and remove stains.
- Veneers: These thin porcelain shells are customized to cover the front surface of your natural teeth and improve their appearance.
- Dental implants: These artificial tooth roots are placed into your jawbone to support replacement teeth and restore missing teeth.
- Orthodontics: This includes using braces, aligners, or other appliances to straighten crooked teeth and correct bite issues.
- Dental crowns: These tooth-shaped caps are placed over any damaged or discolored teeth to enhance their appearance and function.
Is a smile makeover only for cosmetic purposes?
While the main goal of a smile makeover is to enhance your smile’s appearance, it can also have functional benefits. For example, orthodontic treatments can help correct misaligned bites, improving chewing and speaking abilities. Replacing missing or damaged teeth in the smile with dental implants or crowns can improve oral health by preventing further damage and decay.
How long does a smile makeover take?
The time needed for a smile makeover can vary greatly depending on the specific procedures included in your custom treatment plan. Some procedures, like teeth whitening or veneers, can be completed in just one single visit, while others, such as orthodontic treatments or dental implants, may require multiple appointments over several months. Our team at Seasons Dental will work with you to create a personalized treatment timeline that fits your schedule and goals.
Is everyone a candidate for a smile makeover?
While most people can benefit from some form of cosmetic dentistry, not everyone is an ideal candidate for a full smile makeover. Factors such as overall oral health, budget, and timeframe can all impact a patient’s candidacy.
