Smile Makeover
I keep hearing about smile makeovers. What does that mean?
It is a term used for various procedures designed to enhance your smile. No two of us are alike in our dental situation. Your teeth, gums, bite, smile, and overall facial features are yours alone. When a dentist assesses your dental status to see what improvements could be made in your smile, the resulting treatment plan will be unique-an exclusive smile makeover.
What procedures might be part of a smile makeover?
It could include any combination of the following procedures such as:
- Porcelain veneers
- Dental bonding
- Orthodontic work
- Teeth whitening
- Crowns
- Dental implants
- Conversion of silver filings to tooth-coloured-fillings
The procedures for your particular smile makeover would be determined and incorporated into a treatment plan. Then each procedure would be done in a sequential fashion for the enhancement of your teeth, gums, jaw, bite, and general facial shape.
Would it be a good idea to get the flaws in my teeth corrected first, and then whiten my teeth later?
If you plan to have any crowns, veneers, or fillings, the porcelain or bonding material would need to be matched to the colour or your natural teeth. These materials do not respond to the tooth whitening gel. Consequently, it would be best to whiten your teeth first, then your dentist can match the porcelain or bonding to that new whitened shade.
How long does it take to get a smile makeover?
That depends on how many procedures must be done. Sometimes everything can be done in one appointment, but other times it could take several weeks. If the plan includes any orthodontic work, that will extend the time into many months. When your smile makeover is planned you can ask your dentist to give you a time frame.
How long will the smile makeover last?
That will depend on how good your dental hygiene is. The dental materials used today for fillings, crowns, veneers, and bridges are vastly improved over what was used years ago. If you brush and floss conscientiously, and have a professional cleaning in a schedule that is right for you, you can expect to keep your smile makeover for many years to come. As with all things in life, repair and maintenance are required to support a healthy state. On average you can expect your new smile to last 5-25 years depending on the level of care you give.
