How to Prepare for a Smile Makeover

An extreme makeover dental procedure is sometimes needed to correct multiple cosmetic flaws in a patient’s smile. Some of the procedures that could be used include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental implants, inlays, onlays, and dental crowns. You will work together with your dentist to develop a customized treatment plan just for you so that by the end of the makeover, your smile will be absolutely stunning.

In order to prepare for your smile makeover, the dentist will first need to evaluate your oral health to make sure there are no underlying health concerns. Smile makeovers cannot be used to treat functional problems with the teeth and gums, so if you suffer from tooth decay or gum disease, those will need to be treated first before focusing on the cosmetic concerns. But if you are in good health, we can start developing the treatment plan.

Your dentist will give you an idea of what your final results will look like by using digital imaging and before and after photos. You will also be given an estimate as to what the final price will be. If there are any concerns about the cost, talk to your dentist about setting up a payment plan. Once you are comfortable with everything, the makeover can begin.
