Smile Makeover: Are Veneers My Only Option?

If you’re unhappy with the way your smile looks, a smile makeover can give you just the right look to boost your self confidence. You and your cosmetic dentist can decide what the best combination of procedures will be for you. Veneers are one of many options you can choose to perfect your smile.

How a Smile Makeover Works

With a smile makeover, your cosmetic dentist will talk to you about what you’d like to see changed about your smile. After this consultation, you’ll decide what procedures will give you the results you want. A variety of procedures can be combined to ensure you’ll be happy with the way your smile looks. Some of the options for smile makeovers include:

  • Teeth whitening
  • Veneers
  • Invisalign
  • Dental implants

 

These can be used on their own or in combination. For example, if you have discolored teeth that are also misaligned, your makeover could include teeth whitening as well as long-term treatment with Invisalign. Damage to the front surfaces of your teeth can be treated with veneers, and if you have missing teeth, dental implants can fill the missing places in your smile.

Consulting with Your Dentist

Your consultation with your cosmetic dentist will address all your concerns about your teeth. You’ll discuss all the treatment options as well as what your teeth are likely to look like when your treatment is complete. This could include digital images of your teeth, before and after pictures of other patients, and molds made from your teeth, depending upon how your dentist approaches your treatment. You’ll decide what procedure or combination of procedures are most likely to work for you, and you might also discuss how you’ll schedule your dental work. During your consultation, be sure to ask any questions you might have. Don’t forget to ask about recovery if you are having dental implants placed, and about the length of treatment if you will be using Invisalign.
