Cosmetic dentistry: smile makeover

Below is an overview of what a smile makeover is, including why it is so popular. Reviewing this information may be helpful to individuals who are considering the process.

Smile makeovers

A smile makeover may consist of a number of procedures. Some individuals only need one procedure, while others may require multiple to achieve the desired results. Outlined below are a few examples of popular smile makeover procedures.

  • In-office teeth whitening to lift stains
  • Dental veneer placement to cover imperfections, lengthen a short tooth, or even out the arch
  • Braces or aligners to straighten crooked or crowding teeth
  • Dental implant placement to replace missing teeth
  • Grafting to address receding gums

Of course, there are an array of smile makeover procedures; however, the ones listed above are the most popular. 

The popularity of the process

Smile makeovers are popular in cosmetic dentistry because they address concerns without putting the teeth or gums at risk. While cosmetic dental procedures do aim to improve appearance and aesthetics, the dentists also make sure that oral health is maintained to optimal condition. Having the smile improved, while also maintaining good health is both beneficial and successful. 

Another thing to know is that a smile makeover produces long-lasting, if not permanent results, which helps to boost confidence in individuals who are not keen on showing off their smile. Most procedures that are performed in a smile makeover do not have to be reapplied or redone. 

Other things to know

When considering a smile makeover, it is also good to know that the process may take time, especially if multiple procedures are desired. The mouth does need time to heal in between procedures, which can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. In order to obtain the best results, it may be recommended to spread multiple procedures out to allow for proper adjustments to be made, such as eating and speaking.
