What Is a Smile Makeover?

“How does a dentist near me give me a smile makeover?”

A smile makeover uses multiple cosmetic treatments to completely revitalize your teeth’s appearance in every possible way. The key element is that the multiple treatments have to work together and balance one another. This takes skill, along with a touch of artistry. Every smile makeover is different, but the result is always a set of teeth that you will be eager to show the world.

How A Smile Makeover Works

Your smile’s transformation begins with a comprehensive exam and in-depth discussion. Once your dentist understands your needs and preferences, he’ll create a smile makeover plan to deliver lasting dental beauty. Your customized plan may involve some, but probably not all of the following treatments:

Cosmetic Dental Bonding

Ceramic Dental Restorations

If you have teeth that are missing part of their structures, these restorations will help restore their strength and appearance at the same time. They will not only make your smile look better but will also improve your teeth’s function as well.

How Long Does a Smile Makeover Take?

Each treatment is geared towards addressing a particular set of cosmetic flaws and figuring out the right combination that will give you the exact results you want is critical. This is why the planning stage of your smile makeover is so important. Once your plan has been made, the time it takes to actually perform your smile makeover can vary. Most of these treatments only take one or two visits on their own to complete, but your dentist may choose to perform them in separate stages to make sure they are all working together properly. You’ll be involved in every stage of your smile makeover, so you’ll always know what to expect.

Smile Makeover FAQs

How Long is a Smile Makeover?

There is no set timeline for a smile makeover in Chaska. Every patient is different, and this cosmetic solution is unique to you. Building a personalized plan means determining what kind of services are required to create the smile of your dreams.

Your dentist, Dr. Swingdorf, will first need to examine your mouth and decide which cosmetic solutions are most ideal. He will also check for any signs of cavities and gum disease. If these issues are found, they will need to be addressed beforehand, which will increase your timeline.

Whether it’s addressing chips and cracks, stains, or small gaps, the type and number of treatment options will ultimately determine how long you can expect your smile makeover to last.

How Many Treatments Can You Include in a Smile Makeover?

Smile makeovers can include multiple cosmetic services, including:

  • Custom-made veneers
  • Cosmetic dental bonding
  • Gum lifts
  • Ceramic dental restorations
  • Teeth whitening

Whether you need two or four treatment options, trust that Dr. Swingdorf will carefully craft your new smile, so it looks beautiful in the end.

Is a Smile Makeover Covered by Insurance?

Cosmetic dentistry is generally not covered by dental insurance, so many of the services will require you to pay out of pocket. However, there are exceptions. For example, if you need ceramic dental restorations to fix a cracked tooth, this may be considered restorative treatment and receive partial coverage. Also, a gum lift to remove tissue that may be hindering your ability to receive a dental crown may be partially covered.

If your dental insurance plan does not cover your treatment, Chaska Dental Center offers other payment options, including a 5% savings on certain services and additional financing.

Does a Smile Makeover Hurt?

When preparing for a smile makeover, you can expect to receive local anesthesia for any services that require enamel removal, tooth alteration, or soft tissue treatment. Veneers, dental restorations, and gum lifts will require Dr. Swingdorf to numb your mouth so that you do not feel any discomfort throughout treatment. However, teeth whitening and cosmetic dental bonding are conservative, non-invasive services, so you should not need any anesthesia beforehand.
