How Does a Smile Makeover Work?

First, you’ll come into our dental office for a consultation, where one of our experienced dentists will carefully examine your smile. They will look over your teeth, gums, and the overall condition of your oral health before developing a personalized treatment plan. From there, we will schedule your next appointment(s). Your number of visits to our dental office will directly depend on the types of services you need. For example, veneers only require two separate appointments, but if you need Invisalign, your total treatment time could take at least six months. That’s why the initial consultation, where we develop your treatment plan, is incredibly important.

Smile Makeover FAQs

How many treatments can you include in a smile makeover?

The number of treatments you and your dentist decide is unique to your case. While some patients only need one or two, your smile might benefit from three or four. To determine the appropriate amount, one of our Westgate Dental Group dentists in Arlington Heights will examine the imperfections and decide how to address them most effectively.

Some of the treatments that may be included in your plan are:

  • Veneers
  • Teeth whitening
  • Gum recontouring
  • Metal-free crowns
  • Cosmetic dental bonding

How long is a smile makeover?

Once your cosmetic dentist determines the number of treatments you will receive, they can begin to outline how much time it will take to achieve optimal results. The timeframe may vary, as some services only require one appointment while others need weeks or months.

You must also consider your availability and flexibility when scheduling your appointments. Our team will work with you as best as we can to keep the process moving along swiftly.

If you require teeth whitening, cosmetic dental bonding, or gum recontouring, you will likely see results in a single visit. However, if you need metal-free crowns or veneers, the process may take weeks to complete.

Do smile makeovers have an age limit?

Smile makeovers are complex procedures, which might cause you to think they are only available for adults. The truth is that they can be performed on most patients, including teenagers. Only toddlers and children are exempt.

More importantly, the dentist must consider the type of treatments that are provided, as some may not be appropriate for younger individuals. Whitening one’s smile should not occur before the age of 14 in most cases.

Are smile makeovers expensive?

A smile makeover is considered a costlier cosmetic treatment option; however, it doesn’t have to be out of financial reach for many patients. There is no set price for a smile makeover, as each plan is tailor-made to the individual’s needs, so you shouldn’t expect to pay the same amount as someone else.

During your initial consultation, your cosmetic dentist in Arlington Heights will not only develop a plan that addresses which treatments will be used to enhance your smile but also deliver a clear estimate of the cost.

Since most smile makeovers consist of cosmetic services, dental insurance will be unlikely to pay. There are exceptions to this rule, such as having a metal-free crown put in place to protect a decayed tooth. If you need help to cover the cost of your treatment, Westgate Dental Care offers an in-office dental savings plan and flexible financing with CareCredit, Sunbit, or Proceed Finance.
