5 Questions to Ask Before Getting a Smile Makeover

If you aren’t completely satisfied with the look of your smile, you may be considering getting it fixed. One of the best ways to do this is with a smile makeover. This includes one or several cosmetic treatments designed to improve the overall look of your smile. Before you move forward with your chosen procedures, Here are five questions to ask before getting a smile makeover.

#1: How Long Will My Smile Makeover Take?

The answer to this question will vary depending on the kinds of treatments you’re deciding to undergo. Some take longer than others. Additionally, if you have gum disease or any other oral health issues, these will need to be treated before you can proceed with the smile makeover. Neglecting to do so will cause treatment delays or other issues, so it’s important to start off with a healthy smile.

#2: Can I See Before and After Photos of Past Smile Makeovers?

One of the best ways to get an idea of what you can expect from your smile makeover is to see before and after photos. Your dentist should be able to provide you with pictures of patients before they underwent treatment as well as after they had the same or similar work done to their smiles. If the results they got aren’t quite what you’re looking for, you can speak with your dentist about changing your treatment plan.

#3: What Problems Can Be Fixed with a Smile Makeover?

There are a variety of cosmetic issues that can be corrected with a smile makeover. Different procedures can be used to treat different concerns. A few cosmetic problems that smile makeovers can correct include:

• Teeth that are chipped, broken, or cracked
• Gaps between your pearly whites
• Stained or discolored teeth
• Smile alignment issues
• Misshapen teeth
• Missing teeth
• Asymmetry

#4: How Can You Ensure That My Smile Makeover Lasts?

Though your dentist will work with you to come up with a treatment plan that best fits your budget, a smile makeover won’t be cheap. Because of this, you’ll want to make sure that your results last as long as possible. Be sure to ask your cosmetic dentist what they plan to do to make your results last. Though no cosmetic procedure is going to withstand the test of time forever, a good dentist will know how to give you results that you’ll enjoy for years to come.

#5: Will My Smile Makeover Look Realistic?

When you think of a beautiful beam, bright, white teeth are likely one of the first things to come to mind. But, at some point, your teeth may begin to look too white. Make sure to ask your dentist if your results will look realistic. If they don’t, it will be obvious to others that your smile doesn’t look like that naturally.
