A smile makeover is one of the most effective cosmetic dental treatments<\/a> out there. That\u2019s only natural \u2013 it fully revamps your teeth and gums to look worthy of Hollywood! Still, such dental work isn\u2019t something to take lightly; you should be sure of it before you commit. The good news is that your Covington dentist can help you decide. With that said, read on to learn four questions you should ask before a smile makeover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat Can a Smile Makeover Address?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smile makeovers tend to be comprehensive, but what they address depends on the treating dentist. You\u2019ll need to consult your dental practice for the exact details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, a smile makeover will address most (if not all) of a patient\u2019s dental flaws. These can range from simple issues like tooth stains to complex problems like misaligned teeth. With the right tools, a makeover can even treat a smile\u2019s seeming \u201cgumminess.\u201d You just need to ensure the final treatment includes the relevant procedures \u2013 dental bonding, veneers, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCan I See Some \u2018Before & After\u2019 Photos?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To ensure your makeover has great results, you should ask your dentist about before and after photos. Seeing them will help you decide whether treatment is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often enough, dental practices have \u201csmile galleries\u201d that patients can browse before any work starts. Ask yours if they have photos of patients who had imperfections like your own. By looking at these examples, you\u2019ll get an idea of what your final smile will look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow Long Will My Makeover Take?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A smile makeover isn\u2019t an instant process, so it\u2019s wise to ask how long the treatment will take. Doing so will allow you to adjust your schedule as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, a smile makeover\u2019s timeline varies from patient to patient. How long your own takes will depend on the services included in your treatment, their arrangement, etc. For example, the makeover could take three weeks or longer if it involves porcelain veneers. If it only includes whitening and bonding, it may only take a single dental visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow Can I Make Makeover Results Last?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To get the most from your makeover, you should know how to make its results last longer. You can get that information by asking your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While their tips can vary, dentists will often suggest a few key ways to make a makeover last. One method is to practice good oral hygiene, which helps prevent tooth stains. Another option is to wear a nightguard or sportsguard, as either device would reduce the risk of chipped or broken teeth. Frequent dental checkups will also let the dentist see if your makeover results have begun to fade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By now, you\u2019ll have learned some questions to ask before a smile makeover. Just make sure to bring them up at your consultation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
