AfterHow Does a Smile Makeover Work?
*Actual PatientAfter discussing your goals and performing a thorough examination to assess your oral health, Dr. Mitchell will craft a customized plan to maximize your smile's potential. You can trust in his skill and experience as a cosmetic dentist to give you the beautiful look you've always wanted.
He may suggest veneers or bonding to transform the teeth that show when you smile, Traditional braces to straighten crooked dentition, laser therapy for a “gummy” smile, and/or professional whitening to make sure your new look shines. He'll fully explain your options and give you a preview of your results with our digital imaging software. If you suffer from dental anxiety, Dr. Mitchell can alleviate your fears with oral conscious sedation.
Once a plan is in place, the dental work will be completed over the course of multiple appointments that may span a few months or even a year depending on the complexity of your case. At your first appointment, Dr. Mitchell will be able to give you a timeline estimate so you know what to expect.
The Benefits of Getting a Smile Makeover
Getting a smile makeover can do so much more for a person beyond improving the image they see in the mirror:
- Boosted Confidence: Nothing is more empowering than going on a date, sitting down for a job interview, or even just hanging out with friends and family and knowing that your smile looks flawless.
- Improved Health: Before the cosmetic work begins, Dr. Mitchell will address any ongoing dental issues you might have, including active cavities or gum disease. That way, your new smile will look great AND be healthy.
- Better Chewing & Speaking: Rebuilding the teeth and bite makes everyday activities like chewing and speaking much more comfortable.
- Hygiene Motivation: After getting a smile makeover, patients want to protect their investment, which gives them the motivation they need to brush and floss daily.
Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover
Because the individual procedures that go into a smile makeover can vary from patient to patient, the overall cost of the treatment will be different as well. While dental insurance will cover things like exams and X-rays, most plans typically won’t help pay for purely cosmetic treatments. We will discuss all of the financial details at your first appointment, and we’ll also go over how we can help you break up the cost so that your new smile is easily affordable.
Smile Makeover FAQs
Q:Is a Smile Makeover Safe?
Yes – like the other dental cosmetic services we offer, smile makeovers in Dallas are safe and often minimally invasive.
That said, we encourage patients to be honest about their health history and active medications! Health conditions, prescription pills, and supplements don’t usually disqualify a patient from receiving a smile makeover, but can cause complications if adjustments aren’t made as necessary. For example, if you have a history of sensitive teeth, we’ll still whiten your teeth, and we’ll take care to adjust our whitening agents so you can avoid prolonged soreness.
Q:Does a Smile Makeover Hurt?
In the vast majority of cases, not at all! Many of the treatments we can include in a smile makeover don’t even require an anesthetic. You’re more likely to experience soreness and sensitivity after your treatment, but OTC pain relievers are often effective at managing these discomforts.
If you’re concerned about pain during your treatment, please let us know. We understand that our patients come from all walks of life, and that not everyone experiences pain the same way. We’ll be happy to work with you and help ensure you have a comfortable smile makeover treatment!
Q:Do Smile Makeovers Have an Age Limit?
Most of our dental cosmetic treatments are suitable for patients of any age. There are a few exceptions – toddlers and young children, for example, would be poor candidates because their teeth and jaw aren’t fully developed. We also don’t recommend teeth whitening for teens younger than 14. But there is no upper age limit for these treatments, and it’s generally more important that you have good oral health!
Q:Can A Smile Makeover Align Your Smile, Bite, or Jaw?
To a certain extent. Dental cosmetics like porcelain veneers and bonding can make your smile appear more even and consistent, but won’t physically move your teeth or jaw. If you have severe alignment issues that cause discomfort, then it’s likely best to correct the issue with orthodontics. If all you’re looking for is a cosmetic touch-up, though, a smile makeover can deliver stunning results!
Q:Is a Smile Makeover Covered by Insurance?
Not typically, though it will ultimately depend on your specific policy and the individual treatments you choose for your makeover. Some dental cosmetics can provide oral health benefits, and if these benefits apply to you, your insurance provider might be more willing to offer partial coverage.
Rest assured, we know dental insurance can be confusing! Our team reviews policies and makes claims every day, and are quite familiar with how various plans work. We can take a closer look at your dental insurance and help you maximize your benefits.
