What is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is any combination of restorative and cosmetic dentistry services that transform a patient's smile removing, repairing, replacing, or concealing smile irregularities and damage. Patients who seek smile makeovers may be unhappy with the appearance of their smile even if they’re in good dental health, or have health and cosmetic concerns they wish to treat. A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan the results in a flawless smile.
Smile Makeover Process
Like all of our services, the smile makeover process is 100% personalized to meet the individual needs of every patient including individual budgets, schedules, and desired services. Smile makeovers can take a few weeks to several months to complete depending on necessary treatment. Regardless of specific services and plans, every smile makeover follows this basic outline:
Smile Consultation
The first step is meeting with Dr. Buck for a smile makeover consultation. During this visit, our dentists will answer any questions you have, and try to get full understanding of your cosmetic and restorative dentistry goals.
Oral Health Assessment
After our dentists have an understanding of your concerns and desired results, we'll complete a comprehensive smile assessment including x-rays and gum, tooth, and jaw examinations. Once we have a complete picture of your current dental health, we are able to offer you recommendations for a series of restorative and cosmetic treatments.
Oral Health Treatment Planning
Before we begin cosmetic treatment, we ensure your teeth are healthy. We'll provide fillings, inlays, onlays, periodontal therapy, and other restorative dentistry treatments before beginning cosmetic services. Whatever smile restoration services you need will be planned to fit your schedule and budget.
Cosmetic Treatment Planning
Once your teeth are healthy, our Dublin team begins the smile enhancement process with a combination of the following cosmetic dental services:
- Invisalign orthodontics to align teeth
- Porcelain veneers to cover chips, cracks, and stains
- Gum contouring to make “gummy” smiles appear more even
- Dental bonding repairs cavities and cracks, covers exposed roots after gum recession, and conceals staining
- Dental crowns can be used to replace missing teeth, restore severely damaged teeth, or as the final step in root canal or dental implant procedures
Smile Makeover FAQs
Although many people are hesitant to undergo cosmetic dental services of any kind due to anxieties about them involving pain, it should be a relief to know that this is often nothing to be worried about. At Distinctive Smiles of Dublin, our team will do everything we can to ensure that you’re as relaxed and comfortable as possible throughout your appointment. Firstly, most cosmetic dental treatments are non-invasive, so you usually won’t even require local anesthesia. If you require restorations like dental crowns or veneers, then we will first numb that area of your mouth before working. We also provide sedation dentistry to further relax your body so that you can experience a more pleasant and stress-free visit. Of course, you might feel mild soreness after some procedures, but this should only last a few days and can be managed with pain relievers.
In most cases, children may be excluded from smile makeovers given the fact that their teeth and jaws are still growing and have yet to mature completely. Excluding them, qualifying for smile makeovers has more to do with your oral health rather than your age. Our team will need to verify that your mouth is in great condition and that you’re free of any complications like tooth decay and gum disease before starting any treatment. Should we detect underlying issues, we’ll need to resolve them first. This will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation.
This cosmetic dental service can involve as many types of treatments as necessary to achieve the kind of smile you want. For example, for those who wish to renew chipped or compromised teeth, then you might only require a combination of veneers and crowns. In other cases, a patient might want to also brighten their smile, which may involve a mixture of teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, and veneers. Your smile makeover will be uniquely tailored to your specific goals and needs, and our team will develop the proper treatment plan during your initial visit.
Similar to other cosmetic dental services, most dental insurance companies won’t offer coverage for these types of treatments. Unless they serve a restorative purpose, such as using veneers to strengthen a mildly damaged tooth, you might not expect financial assistance. Be sure to consult your provider just in case your benefits might help. You can also speak with our knowledgeable team, as we’ll be happy to file insurance claims on your behalf while walking you through the details of your coverage policy.
