If the words “smile makeover” make you envision a complete overhaul like those on home improvement TV shows, don’t worry. The truth is that it is much more practical than you think. While there are no lights and camera crew around, there is a team to help you build a smile you will love. Keep reading as I explain what you can expect when pursuing a smile makeover.
It’s a Comprehensive Plan – Not a Single Procedure
A smile makeover is not a single procedure. Instead, it is a comprehensive plan that combines multiple treatment options, all designed to meet your smile goals. For one patient, this might include teeth whitening and dental bonding. For another, it might mean veneers, dental crowns, or Invisalign.
When we use the term “makeover,” it simply means that we are evaluating your smile as a whole, not targeting a single problem in isolation.
The First Step is a Conversation
Before the process begins, we start with a simple conversation. What do you dislike about your smile? What do you want to change? Some individuals only want a minor refinement because they are happy with the way they look, but they want a more perfect version of their smile. Others express dislike of everything and want a full transformation. Both are possible with the right plan in place.
It Doesn’t Happen All at Once
One of the main benefits of a smile makeover is that it’s not all-or-nothing. You can undergo one or two treatments and stop to reconsider if you decide you don’t want to proceed with other aspects of your plan. This is a great realization for budget-conscious patients who want to improve their smile.
Most Treatment Options Are Low-Intensity
Since most of the services included in a smile makeover are cosmetic, they are not as intense as you might think. Teeth whitening, dental bonding, and veneers are minimally invasive. You don’t have to worry about walking out looking as though you’ve gone through a traumatic dental procedure. In fact, you will instead feel relief when you leave the treatment chair.
If you’ve been unhappy with your smile but worried that fixing its imperfection would mean undergoing a complete overhaul, don’t wait any longer to call your dentist to start the conversation. If you live in the New Jersey area, I’d be happy to discuss your options. All you have to do is give me a call.
