How Long Does The Smile Makeover Process Take?

A smile makeover is a way for individuals who are not happy with their smile, due to cosmetic imperfections, to achieve a more attractive smile. By understanding what a smile makeover is and how long the process takes, one can make an appropriate decision about treatment. 

An overview of the smile makeover process

Although each patient is unique, there are certain things that can be expected throughout the smile makeover treatment process. The following is an overview of the smile makeover process, including what a smile makeover is, what procedures are commonly involved and how long the process takes. 

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is a set of cosmetic dental procedures offered by a cosmetic dentist to improve the appearance of a patient’s smile. The process involves a consultation visit to discuss treatment options and goals for the patient, followed by the treatment processes and follow-up care after the smile makeover is complete. Smile makeovers are used for a variety of reasons and can treat a range of cosmetic issues. 

What procedures are involved in a smile makeover?

The procedures offered during a smile makeover treatment vary for each cosmetic dentist, as the services provided are usually different for each one. However, several of the more common cosmetic procedures offered as a part of a smile makeover include:

  • Professional whitening
  • Braces or clear aligners
  • Dental veneers
  • Dental crowns
  • Dental implants

Each smile makeover process is tailored to address the issues the patient has, and the cosmetic complications can range from minor teeth stains to multiple severely damaged or missing teeth. 

How long does a smile makeover take?

The length of time a smile makeover takes depends on a variety of factors, including the cosmetic concerns the patient wants to address, the treatments are chosen as a part of the smile makeover and whether or not the patient makes it into all scheduled visits. While a simple smile makeover may only take a week or two, more complex smile makeovers, such as those that involve teeth replacement with dental implants, can take more than six months. 

When to consider smile makeover treatment

Anyone who is not happy with the appearance of their smile should consider smile makeover treatment. Every smile makeover is tailored specifically for the patient, and the treatments are based upon what will help them the most. No one should have to feel insecure when smiling and every person should feel free to smile and laugh while around others, without worrying about how their smile looks. A smile makeover provides most with a better smile and increased daily confidence.
