3 Questions to Ask Your Cosmetic Dentist About Smile Makeover Options

Cosmetic dentists help individuals improve the appearance of their smile through various treatment options. Many also offer what is known as a smile makeover, which is a set of cosmetic treatments performed within a similar timeframe to fix one or more cosmetic issues the patient has.

What to know about smile makeover options

Every cosmetic dentist that offers smile makeover treatment provides patients with a range of potential procedures to consider. It is helpful to know how to work with the cosmetic dentist to determine the best course of treatment. The following are three questions to consider asking regarding smile makeover options. 

What treatment options are available?

A smile makeover involves a set of cosmetic dental procedures that are specifically picked to address the patient’s needs. However, every cosmetic dentist offers a different set of services, and it is important to know what options are available as a part of the smile makeover. For many cosmetic dentists, the more common treatment options offered include: 

  • Teeth whitening
  • Teeth straightening
  • Dental veneers
  • Dental crowns
  • Dental implants

Cosmetic dentists understand that every patient is unique. While some only need minor procedures such as professional, in-office teeth whitening, others, such as those with multiple missing teeth, may require more extensive treatment for their cosmetic smile makeover. 

How do I determine which option is best?

In many instances, there are multiple options available to address a patient’s cosmetic concern. For example, a patient with a minor misalignment may be able to choose between clear aligners or braces to achieve a straighter smile, and it is helpful to get the cosmetic dentists option on which option is most appropriate. Every cosmetic dental procedure has advantages and potential drawbacks. The more familiar the patient is with the available procedures, the better position they are in to make a more informed decision about the treatments to add as a part of the smile makeover. 

How long will the process take?

As mentioned, every smile makeover is unique, and the length of treatment is dependent on the particular cosmetic procedures the patient and the cosmetic dentist agree upon. A simple and short smile makeover may only take a week or less, whereas a more complex smile makeover may take several months. It is helpful to understand how long each treatment selected will take, in addition to understanding how long the results of each option will last after treatment is complete. By learning the length of each procedure and the length of time the results last, you can make an appropriate decision based upon the timeframe you desire and your overall cosmetic treatment goals.
