When you smile in the mirror, are you happy with what you see? If the answer to that question is “no,” there are various cosmetic services available to help you achieve pearly whites that you are proud to show off. If there are many things about your teeth that you want to change, a smile makeover may be the best option for you. Continue reading to learn more about smile makeovers and how long you can expect them to take.
How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
A smile makeover is a process that consists of cosmetic and restorative dental procedures. The goal of these procedures is to transform the appearance and function of the teeth, leaving the patient with a smile that they feel confident with. Everyone’s treatment is entirely customized to meet the patient’s unique needs and desires. Here are some services that smile makeovers often include:
- Restorative Services: Tooth-colored fillings, inlays, onlays, dental crowns, gum grafting, dental implants.
- Cosmetic Services: Cosmetic bonding, professional teeth whitening, crown lengthening, veneers, Invisalign.
How Long Do Smile Makeovers Take?
Everyone’s treatment plan is unique, so not everyone can expect the same timeline. During your consultation with your dentist, you will receive a thorough examination, go over your goals, and discuss the cost and timeline of your treatment in detail. Ultimately, the length of your treatment will depend on the different service you choose. For instance, if you are getting a new crown, dental bonding, and teeth whitening, the whole process will probably only take a handful of appointments to complete. On the other hand, if you are looking for more drastic changes, like replacing your missing teeth with dental implants and straightening your smile with Invisalign, you could be looking at a treatment timeline of six months to over a year.
What Else Should You Consider?
In some scenarios, there are other factors that determine how long the smile makeover process will take. Those who are in good overall health may be able to go through their smile makeover process more quickly. Maintaining an excellent oral hygiene routine is another step to ensure that your mouth stays healthy throughout the duration of the smile makeover process, improving your chances of achieving timely results.
A smile makeover is a great way to achieve the results that you have been dreaming of. If you are interested in transforming your smile, schedule a consultation with your dentist. This way, you can find out if a smile makeover is right for you and how long it will take.
