What Is a Smile Makeover? 

A smile makeover is a comprehensive and customized dental treatment approach designed to enhance the appearance of your smile through cosmetic and restorative procedures. This process is tailored to individual needs and addresses various dental issues to improve the aesthetics and functionality of the teeth and gums.

Components of a Smile Makeover

A smile makeover includes several types of treatments depending on your dental concerns and aesthetic goals. Common procedures include the following:

• Teeth Whitening: To remove imperfections and stains from your teeth, making your smile more vibrant.
• Veneers: Porcelain or composite coverings that are placed over the front of the teeth to correct imperfections like chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth.
• Dental Bonding: A method to repair decayed, chipped, or discolored teeth using a tooth-colored resin.
• Dental Implants: Provides a strong and natural-looking solution by replacing missing teeth.
• Orthodontics: Including braces or clear aligners to straighten and align crooked teeth.
• Gum Contouring: Reshapes the gum line and improves the proportion and overall look of your smile.

The first step in a smile makeover is a detailed consultation, during which one of our dentists assesses your oral health and considers your specific concerns. This helps craft a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals. Some procedures are achievable in one visit, while others require multiple sessions.

Are You a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover? 

Determining whether you are a good candidate for a smile makeover involves evaluating several factors related to your dental health and cosmetic goals. A smile makeover is suitable for anyone looking to improve their smile’s appearance. However, certain conditions may particularly benefit from this dental procedure, including the following:

• Overall Dental Health: Ideal candidates should have generally healthy teeth and gums. Issues like gum disease, extensive tooth decay, or active dental infections may need to be addressed before cosmetic treatments can begin.
• Aesthetic Concerns: If you have teeth that are discolored, chipped, misaligned, uneven, or missing, you are probably a good candidate for a smile makeover. Each of these issues can be corrected or significantly improved with the right cosmetic procedures.
• Functional Problems: Beyond aesthetics, functional issues like a bad bite, difficulty chewing, or speech impediments due to dental misalignments can also be addressed during a smile makeover.
• Commitment to Maintenance: Post-treatment care is crucial. Candidates should be willing to commit to good oral hygiene practices, regular dental check-ups, and possibly specific care for some treatments like dental implants or veneers.
• Realistic Expectations: Knowing the possibilities and limitations of cosmetic dentistry is essential. A good candidate should have a clear idea of what can be achieved and be realistic about the outcomes of their treatment plan.

The dental professionals at Dental Specialties Northwest will evaluate whether you are a good candidate for a smile makeover and guide you through the treatment process.
