Does your smile need a complete renovation? Smile makeovers typically combine several cosmetic dentistry procedures to dramatically improve the appearance of a smile. An experienced and qualified cosmetic dentist will listen carefully to understand your goals and clearly explain your options to achieve the confident and attractive smile you’ve always wanted. While most dentists can restore healthy teeth functioning, it takes a great deal of additional artistic skill and practical experience to seamlessly blend multiple restorations and cosmetic fixtures into a natural-looking, picture-perfect smile. If your smile needs a serious overhaul, schedule a consultation with our Vero Beach smile makeover specialists today!
The smile makeover process starts with a consultation. Our team will get to know important information about your oral health, your goals, and your overall lifestyle. Then, we can use advanced Digital Smile Design software to give you a realistic preview of your treatment results. You are more than welcome to provide feedback and ask questions during this important appointment.
Once we get started on your treatment, you might undergo multiple procedures, such as:
A smile makeover can require several appointments, but we strive to make the entire process as efficient as possible.
A smile makeover offers several amazing benefits:
The cost of a smile makeover varies greatly from case to case. The total price depends on which services you undergo, as well as the extent of those services. During your consultation, we will be able to share some specific numbers. We can also help you understand your payment options, including low-interest financing through CareCredit. We even have an in-house savings plan that provides discounts on many of the services available in our office.
A smile makeover is one of the higher-priced cosmetic options, but you can view it as an investment that will provide you with years of benefits!
Your cosmetic dentist will always keep your comfort their top priority. Depending on your treatment plan, you may benefit from numbing medication. It will block any pain, but you may feel some unusual sensations or pressure. After the effects of the numbing medication wear off, some procedures can cause temporary tenderness for a couple of days. You can manage it with an over-the-counter pain reliever and eating soft foods. Your dentist will review any additional aftercare instructions.
Every situation differs, so there's no set timeline for a smile makeover. Many factors will influence your timeline, like preparatory procedures and the type of treatments that are right for you. Some treatments can be completed in one appointment, while others can take multiple visits or several months. Your dentist will explain how long the process will take during your consultation. We know your time is valuable, which is why we use the latest technologies and techniques to streamline your care without compromising your results.
Every procedure has a different life expectancy and many things will influence the duration of your results. You can get the most from your new smile by committing to good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth at least twice a day for 2 minutes and floss every day. It's best to limit your consumption of sugars and starches to prevent tooth decay. Moderate how often you have hard or chewy foods to prevent wear and tear. Stop any bad habits that may damage your teeth, like chewing on pens or crunching ice. If you have a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, your dentist can provide you with a nightguard. Don't forget to wear an athletic mouthguard if you play sports to protect your pearly whites. Visit your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup. They will keep your teeth and gums healthy to get the most from your investment.
Dental insurance rarely covers elective procedures unless they are medically necessary. However, many aesthetic issues can affect your dental health, like broken or missing teeth. If treatment is essential for your oral health, your dental insurance may cover some of the expenses after meeting your annual deductible. In addition, your benefits may cover your consultation, diagnostic services, and preparatory procedures, like dental fillings. We will work on your behalf with your dental insurance to maximize your coverage. Our office offers flexible financial solutions for any out-of-pocket expenses, like monthly payments with CareCredit.
