Good Candidates for Smile Makeovers

The most common reason for wanting a smile makeover is when someone does not feel good about the way their smile looks. Anyone who is not entirely confident in showing their mouth can be a good candidate. Here are some dental issues that a smile makeover can repair:

  • Chipped or broken teeth
  • Gaps and spaces around teeth
  • Missing teeth
  • Stained or discolored teeth
  • Uneven teeth

“A smile should look natural and effortless.”

How To Care For a Smile Makeover

While cosmetic dentistry can improve a person's look, it is not a substitute for regular dental care. After a smile makeover, the dentist will provide care guidelines specific to each patient. It is important to keep up with daily oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing once a day.

Do not use abrasive toothpaste, which can scratch the surface of the teeth. Avoid drinks that stain the teeth, such as coffee or red wine. Finally, make sure to see the dentist every six months for a professional cleaning and exam.

Dental Procedures That Could Be Part of a Smile Makeover

Cosmetic dentists offer multiple treatment options to help a patient achieve a stunning smile. A dentist considers the patient's goals and oral health, as well as facial appearance, jaw alignment, and condition of the teeth. Addressing these factors can help improve a person's smile by using possible procedures, such as:

  • Dental bonding: Tooth-colored resin can change the tooth’s appearance by repairing chipped or cracked teeth. It can also close gaps or change the shape of the teeth.
  • Veneers: By bonding these thin, custom-made shells to the front of the teeth, it is possible to change the color or shape of the teeth. Seriously stained teeth can become bright again with veneers.
  • Crowns: A tooth cap is placed over a damaged tooth to change its appearance and strengthen it. Crowns can be both cosmetic and functional.
  • Braces: This orthodontic treatment corrects crooked teeth by applying steady pressure over time to move teeth into correct alignment.
  • Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening can restore stained or discolored teeth to a brighter color with whitening procedures. Teeth whitening at a dentist’s office can be more effective and last longer. Teeth whitening is often the final step of a smile makeover.

Smile makeovers are unique to each patient. It is possible to include a range of treatments depending on the condition of the mouth, gums, teeth, and jaw. The goal is to help patients look better and to help maintain their teeth for a lifetime.

Before starting, it is important to treat underlying health conditions. Gum disease and tooth decay should be dealt with before receiving cosmetic procedures. Having a plan for a smile makeover can make each dental procedure more effective.

Reasons to Get a Smile Makeover

Certain lifestyle choices can adversely affect the appearance and function of a smile. One lifestyle choice that can affect the appearance of teeth is smoking. According to Healthline, the nicotine and tar in cigarettes can cause teeth to become yellowed and stained. Additionally, people who smoke are also at higher risk of gum disease, further damaging teeth.

People should also avoid eating and drinking sugary foods and beverages. The sugar feeds the bacteria, which produce acid that can also damage teeth, causing cavities to form or erosion to occur. Fortunately, a smile makeover can give people a fresh start and a new smile. It is important for people who receive a smile makeover to change their lifestyle and make healthy choices to maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is a smile makeover the same as full mouth rejuvenation?

A. No, it is not. Full mouth rejuvenation uses many of the same cosmetic methods as a makeover, but it also consists of general and restorative services, such as TMJ or gum disease treatment. A smile makeover is more cosmetic based and is a less extensive process.

Q. How long does a complete smile makeover take?

A. Each smile makeover is customized to the patient. It depends on the procedures that are needed to finish the process. Many procedures can be completed in one or two office visits. It is common for patients to receive one or two treatment options at a single appointment.

Q. Is there an age limit on a smile makeover?

A. Adults of all ages can receive cosmetic dentistry to improve their appearance. Seniors who want to improve their oral health and maintain a youthful look often turn to cosmetic dentistry. Professional dental care can help maintain a smile at any age.

Q. Who are the appropriate candidates for a smile makeover?

A. Anyone who wants to improve the appearance of their smile is a good candidate. It is important to be in good overall health before undertaking cosmetic dental procedures. A dentist needs to assess each patient's particular needs and goals.

Q. Will dental insurance cover the cost of a smile makeover?

A. Dental insurance plans may not cover cosmetic dentistry. However, a smile makeover often includes restorative procedures, such as crowns that repair broken teeth. Dental insurance may cover a portion of those costs.

Q. Will I need dental X-rays before a smile makeover?

A. It is recommended that teeth be evaluated before undergoing a smile makeover. Dental X-rays help a dentist find tooth decay and cavities that will need to be repaired before getting cosmetic procedures. According to the American Dental Association, the radiation exposure from dental X-rays is low, and the potential for harmful effects is minimal.
