How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
No two smile makeovers are identical, as each is tailored for a specific patient. Even so, they all have two points in common: an initial consultation and the drafting of a treatment plan. These steps ensure a makeover delivers the best possible results.
For the initial consultation, you’ll briefly chat with Dr. Canzoneri. This session lets him learn your treatment goals, oral health history, and other background factors. He’ll use those details to decide and assess how your makeover should go.
Dr. Canzoneri (and the rest of our team) will use your feedback to draft a treatment plan. In doing so, he’ll outline the services your makeover could include. These are:
- Teeth Whitening – Whether done in the office or at home, teeth whitening can remove stains from your smile. The result is usually a grin that’s six to eight shades brighter.
- Gum Recontouring – Gum recontouring removes your mouth’s excess gum tissue with a soft tissue laser. By getting it, your previously hidden grin would be revealed!
- Cosmetic Bonding – To hide your smile’s minor flaws, cosmetic bonding places color-matched resin on your teeth. Its main effect is to cover up small tooth stains, chips, etc.
- Porcelain Veneers – Veneers are versatile, porcelain shells that hide a wide range of smile flaws. In exchange, they can be a bit pricey.
To help you choose which procedures to add, our office relies on digital smile design. This software lets you “preview” how a cosmetic service would transform your teeth.
The Benefits of Getting a Smile Makeover
With help from Dr. Canzoneri, a smile makeover can provide the following benefits:
- Streamlined Care – A smile makeover combines several cosmetic services, streamlining your treatment and saving time and money.
- A Confidence Boost – Because it revamps your whole grin, a smile makeover should boost your confidence. Knowing your mouth looks great helps you feel self-assured in social settings.
- Youthful Looks – Since a smile makeover can brighten your teeth, it often gives you a younger-looking face.
- Enduring Effects – Depending on what it features, a smile makeover can have results that last over ten years.
Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover
Smile makeovers vary from patient to patient, so their prices do as well. That means you must consult Dr. Canzoneri to get a precise estimate for your own. However, rest assured that we’ll work diligently to ensure your final treatment fits your budget. Our team can even walk you through your makeover’s pricing factors, the role of dental insurance, and more. If you’d like, we can even share some helpful payment options that would reduce your care’s cost.
Smile Makeover FAQs
Does a Smile Makeover Hurt?
Generally speaking, the dental cosmetic treatments that could be included in your plan are very mild. Teeth whitening and cosmetic bonding, for instance, don’t even require a local anesthetic in most cases. For treatments that require more prep work, like veneers or tooth-colored crowns, we’ll be sure to secure your comfort by numbing your mouth.
That said, we recognize that discomfort is subjective, and that some patients have special circumstances that can make even mild treatments feel painful. If you have a history of sensitivity, are afraid of the dentist, or become uncomfortable when sitting still for prolonged periods of time, we can prescribe you an oral sedative to help you relax and feel more at ease. Simply let our team know if you’d be interested in this option ahead of time, and we’ll be happy to discuss the details with you.
Is a Smile Makeover Covered by Insurance?
Smile makeovers are typically considered “nonessential” by dental insurance companies, and therefore aren’t usually covered. However, there are exceptions. A tooth-colored crown is more likely to receive about 50% coverage, for example, and veneers may also be partially covered if they would protect damaged teeth. Basically, if your oral health would benefit from a specific dental cosmetic treatment, insurance companies are usually more willing to share the costs.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
Most patients over the age of 14 who want to conceal or correct aesthetic flaws in their smile are good candidates for a smile makeover in Arcadia. The vast majority of dental cosmetic treatments are mild and noninvasive. Because of this, the most important factor for candidacy is having good oral health, as conditions like cavities and gum disease can lead to treatment failure if not taken care of beforehand. Rest assured, our team will thoroughly examine your mouth so we can plan your smile makeover accordingly!
Can You Undergo Multiple Procedures During One Appointment?
Yes – if you have the time available in your schedule, we can complete or start multiple treatments during one appointment. Teeth whitening and cosmetic bonding, for example, are two quick and flexible procedures that can be easily combined with most other treatments. We can also complete the prep work for more involved procedures, such as porcelain veneers and tooth-colored crowns – though it will still take a week or two to fully customize these cosmetics.
If you have a specific timeline in mind, let us know during your consultation so we can accommodate you as much as possible!
