What Is a Smile Makeover?
Smile makeovers combine multiple cosmetic dentistry procedures to help you achieve the ideal teeth, gums and bite alignment for a perfect smile. The exact procedures you might undergo will vary based on your aesthetic goals and the health of your mouth.
Smile makeovers can address many of the most common cosmetic imperfections that people would like to improve, including:
- Stains or discoloration
- Gaps or unsightly spacing between teeth
- Worn teeth
- Visible damage caused by injury or decay
- Missing teeth
Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures Used in a Smile Makeover
The first step toward a revitalized smile is meeting with Dr. Warr. He will discuss what you'd like to change about your appearance, then develop a custom cosmetic dentistry treatment plan.
Depending on your needs, some of the treatments in your smile makeover could include:
- Teeth whitening
- Adult orthodontics
- Porcelain veneers
- Porcelain and/or metal-free restorations
What are the benefits of a Smile Makeover?
By combining procedures to meet your goals and undergoing treatment with our experienced cosmetic dentist, a smile makeover can be a comprehensive solution for correcting the issues that made you hide your smile before.
Many of our Salt Lake City patients have reported a wide range of benefits after their smile makeover, including:
- Better oral health and function
- Enhanced overall appearance
- Improved self-confidence in professional and social settings
At Warr Dental, we understand that any kind of cosmetic dentistry procedure is an investment in yourself. In order to make this investment more affordable, we offer a number of financing options to help offset the cost of the treatments you need to attain your ideal appearance.
How Many Treatments Will it Take to Make Over My Smile?
Your smile makeover is designed around your needs and can include from one to several treatments. There is no limit to this. You can trust that your cosmetic dentist, Dr. Warr, will condense your treatment plan to include the most effective procedures to achieve your goals. For example, if you want to address discoloration as well as some misalignment or turning in your front teeth, he may recommend porcelain veneers as a streamlined way to achieve optimal results in one treatment. If you have discoloration and minimal other issues with alignment, cracks, or chips, you may receive one porcelain veneer and whitening to achieve your cosmetic goals. In your smile makeover, you get to determine which treatments feel most beneficial for you.
How Long Will My Smile Makeover Take?
Repeating the customization aspect of smile makeovers, your treatment won't follow the same path as anyone else's. How long it takes to complete your smile makeover will depend on the degree of damage your teeth have experienced and the treatments that are selected to address that damage or the natural flaws that exist. Your smile makeover may combine a few treatments into just two appointments, or it may require a few months of progressive care that achieves cosmetic benefits one visit at a time.
Am I a Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
If you have multiple concerns about your smile that you'd like to address in a systematic fashion, you may be a great candidate for a smile makeover. At your consultation and first examination, Dr. Warr will listen to your goals and will compare those to the findings of a comprehensive dental exam. He may also take x-rays, depending on how long it's been since you last had dental imaging done. For your smile makeover to achieve the longest-lasting results, we may first need to address oral health issues such as gingivitis or cavities. Having either of these or other issues doesn't make you a poor candidate for a smile makeover, it will simply dictate how we proceed with your treatment planning.
How Long Do Dental Veneers Last?
Dental veneers can last quite a long time. How long depends on several factors. These range from the material of your veneers (Dr. Warr uses porcelain veneers), the precision with which your veneers are modeled and fabricated, and also how well you take care of your teeth and overall oral health after receiving your veneers. In the best-case scenario, porcelain veneers can last decades.
There are a few simple ways to prolong the life of your porcelain veneers. They include:
- Take good care of your teeth.
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste.
- Floss daily to prevent inflammation and gum disease.
- Refrain from biting or chewing on hard objects.
- Get a night guard if you tend to clench or grind your teeth when you sleep.
- See your dentist twice a year for a thorough checkup and cleaning.
- Rinse your mouth with water after consuming foods or drinks that can cause stains.
