If you’re eager to overhaul your grin, a smile makeover is the way to go. It’d work wonders on your teeth and gums to help them look bright and flawless! That said, go ahead and learn about the treatment first; you’ll ensure better results that way. As for how to do so, just let your Brick Township dentist provide a few pointers. Read on to find out four big questions you should ask before a smile makeover.
“Just What Does a Smile Makeover Do?”
You shouldn’t get a procedure if you don’t know its traits, so ask your dentist what a smile makeover involves. They’ll gladly give you a rundown of the treatment’s nature.
Unlike other cosmetic dental options, a “smile makeover” isn’t a distinct service; it’s a set of aesthetic procedures baked into one large treatment. That means a makeover can include anything from porcelain veneers and dental bonding to standard teeth whitening. Whether you want to fix your grin’s stains, cracks, “gumminess,” or something else, it can do all that and more!
“Will My New Smile Look ‘Real’ or Fake?”
However much a makeover transforms your smile, it won’t mean much if the results don’t seem lifelike. You’d do well to ask whether treatment will make your grin look “real” or fake.
The good news is that smile makeovers (when done by qualified dentists) aim for a natural appearance. As long as your dental provider is skilled, treatment will make your mouth look gorgeous and lifelike. That much will happen when care involves multiple cosmetic techniques – teeth whitening, dental bonding, etc.
“How Long Does the Treatment Take?
Smile makeovers don’t happen instantly, so remember to ask how long your treatment will take. You can better tailor your schedule when you know the answer.
Having said that, the timeline for a smile makeover varies from patient to patient. It depends on which services you include in your final treatment, as well as their arrangement. If your care involves veneers, the makeover could take three weeks or even longer. On the other hand, it may only take a single dental visit if it only includes whitening and bonding.
“Who’s a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover?”
Some patients benefit more from treatment than others, and the same applies to smile makeovers. Try to ask your dentist about who the best candidates for them are.
Patients can generally qualify for the makeovers if they have decent oral health. The requirements don’t tend to be stricter than having a clean and healthy mouth. After all, a patient may need a restorative treatment – gum disease therapy, dental crowns, etc. – before a makeover. The cosmetic work could hide oral issues and make them harder to fix otherwise.
