Smile Makeover – Centennial, CO 

How Does a Smile Makeover Work?

The smile makeover process gets started when you attend a consultation with our team. We will examine your mouth and learn about your goals for treatment. Then, we’ll scan your teeth and use our advanced virtual smile design software to give you a preview of what you make look like after undergoing treatment. Feel free to give us your feedback so we can adjust your care according to your preferences.

If you do not need preliminary treatment (some patients need fillings, gum disease treatment, or other restorative services), we can get started with your smile makeover. Here are some of the services that you might undergo:

• Teeth whitening
• Veneers
• Gum recontouring
• Dental bonding
• Metal-free restorations
• Invisalign

From start to finish, a smile makeover may take anywhere from a few weeks to several months or longer. During your consultation, we will be able to estimate your treatment timeline.

The Benefits of Getting a Smile Makeover

As the recipient of a smile makeover, you may get to enjoy a number of benefits:

• Improved oral health and dental function. Invisalign and metal-free restorations can improve the way your teeth function and feel. Cosmetic treatments may motivate you to stick to excellent oral hygiene habits.
• Improved confidence. A smile makeover may make you look younger and help you feel more at ease in social situations.
• Long-lasting results. The results of some cosmetic treatments can last for many years. For example, veneers often endure for 10 – 15 years or longer.
• Streamlined treatment. We will strive to help you reach your goals as efficiently as possible.

Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover

The cost of a smile makeover is highly variable. It depends on which treatments you undergo and the extent of those treatments. During your consultation, we will be able to talk about specific numbers and let you know about your payment options, such as low-interest financing. A smile makeover often costs several thousand dollars or more, especially if you invest in veneers and/or Invisalign. However, it presents an excellent value that can give you many years of enhanced confidence. It is truly an investment that can boost your quality of life!

Smile Makeover FAQs

You can achieve a stunning smile using the latest advancements in cosmetic dentistry. However, a smile makeover is a big investment. We understand you might have some concerns. Your dentist at Homestead Dental will explain everything during your consultation. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about smile makeovers to determine if it’s right for you.

Which Procedures Are Right for Me?

A smile makeover isn’t a single procedure. Every mouth and situation differs, so there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to create a picture-perfect smile. Instead, your cosmetic dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to determine which services are best for you, which may include:

• Veneers
• Metal-Free Restorations
• Cosmetic Dental Bonding
• Invisalign
• Teeth Whitening
• Gum Recontouring

How Long Does a Smile Makeover Take?

Since no two treatments are identical, there’s no way to determine how long the process will take without first examining your mouth. You’ll require an initial consultation and may need a little prep work, like a dental cleaning or gum disease therapy. If your teeth and gums are healthy, your dentist will schedule you for your smile makeover. Some procedures can be performed in 1 appointment, like cosmetic dental bonding, teeth whitening, or tooth-colored fillings. However, some procedures can take multiple appointments or many months, like Invisalign. Your dentist will explain how long the transformation will take and what you can do to streamline the process.

How Long Does a Smile Makeover Last?

The duration of your results is affected by many factors, like the materials used, the type of procedures, and your aftercare routine. Some treatments can last for many years, while others can thrive for a decade or more. You can get the most from your investment by brushing twice a day and flossing daily. Limit sugars and starches to keep tooth decay at bay. You should avoid anything that may damage your teeth, like hard or chewy foods. It’s best to break any bad oral habits, like chewing on your fingernails or using your teeth in place of scissors. Visit your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup to ensure your new smile lasts.

Does a Smile Makeover Hurt?

Your comfort is always our top priority. Your dentist may use a local numbing agent to block any pain signals, depending on your treatment. You may also be a candidate for sedation dentistry. You won’t have any pain, but you may feel some pressure or unusual sensations. After the effects of any medications or numbing agents wear off, you may have temporary tenderness. You can manage it with an OTC pain reliever and eating soft foods. Your cosmetic dentist will review any additional aftercare instructions before you go home.
