How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
Before anything else, a smile makeover starts with an initial consultation. This appointment lets Dr. Voller learn your smile goals, oral health, medical history, etc. He’ll then use these factors to determine how best to move forward.
In terms of care, a smile makeover blends two or more cosmetic services into one treatment. Consequently, Dr. Voller will end the consult by asking which procedures you’d like to include. Those available for inclusion are:
- Porcelain Veneers – Shells that dentists place on the fronts of teeth. They’re versatile and hide flaws like chips, stains, cracks, etc.
- Metal-Free Restorations – Ceramic, non-metallic fillings and crowns for teeth. They match your tooth enamel and thus blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
- Direct Bonding – A procedure using tooth-colored resin to cover minor smile flaws. It’s cheap and only takes a single visit, though its results aren’t long-lasting.
- Teeth Whitening – Per its name, this option whitens enamel quickly for only a moderate cost. It removes tooth stains with a special bleaching gel.
The Benefits of Getting a Smile Makeover
Patients can expect a whole host of benefits from a smile makeover. The most common of these are:
- A Youthful, Vibrant Face – By making your smile brighter and more symmetrical, a makeover can help your face look young and energized.
- Greater Confidence – A more beautiful grin will boost self-confidence and body image. You’ll then feel less anxious when interacting with friends and family.
- Streamlined Care – Remember, a smile makeover combines several procedures into one treatment. As such, it streamlines your care and saves you time.
- Long-Lasting Effects – Depending on which procedures it includes, a smile makeover’s results can last ten years or more.
Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover
You may fear that a smile makeover exceeds your budget. After all, it combines multiple cosmetic procedures. One could thus assume that its price is quite high.
In reality, the cost of a smile makeover varies by patient. You’ll need to consult Dr. Voller for a precise treatment estimate. Still, you can trust our office to walk you through the makeover’s pricing factors. (That way, you won’t be surprised by the final bill.) We’ll also explain our various payment options, which can make your care more affordable. The result would be a beautiful, budget-friendly dream smile!
Smile Makeover FAQs
Is a smile makeover worth it?
The only person that can answer this question is you! For some, their smile’s aesthetic appearance isn’t worthwhile to address. However, many of our patients that undergo a smile makeover in Kittanning enjoy priceless, life-changing benefits that make them feel that it was well worth the investment. At Voller Dentistry, PC, we’ve had the opportunity to change countless patients’ outlooks on life just from helping boost their confidence by addressing dental damage, discoloration, and other flaws. That’s why we’re happy to speak with you about your smile goals and concerns and help you decide whether cosmetic dentistry is the right choice for you.
Can I see my smile makeover results ahead of time?
We use the latest advanced dental technology, like digital imaging, which allows you to enjoy several different treatment perks. Using a wand with a camera at the tip of it, we’re able to create a digital model of your smile that we can then alter based on what treatment’s you’re looking into getting. This allows us to show you a realistic, full-color digital construct of what your smile will look like both before and after your makeover. For many patients, this takes all of the doubt out of the process, as they know exactly what to expect once the procedures are complete.
Who is a good candidate for a smile makeover?
The best candidates for smile makeovers are those struggling with more than one cosmetic imperfection that they would like to address, meaning they may need multiple procedures. Dr. Voller will work with you one-on-one to transform your smile, fixing common cosmetic concerns like chipped and cracked teeth, gaps between teeth, dental discoloration, and even missing teeth.
Are smile makeovers expensive?
Because smile makeovers are comprehensive treatment plans custom-designed to address multiple imperfections at once, they usually require more than one restorative or cosmetic service, which makes them more costly than many other services. However, our team will create and go over a detailed cost estimate with you so you know exactly what to expect financially, including speaking with you about financing options.
How long do smile makeover results last?
The lifespan of your smile makeover results will depend on two factors: the type of treatments you receive and how well you maintain your smile following your procedure. For example, services like teeth whitening provide results that will need to be touched-up every six months or so, while treatments like gum recontouring and Invisalign offer permanent results. Plus, by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and avoiding bad dental habits like excessive alcohol consumption and smoking, you can extend the lifespan of most treatment results.
