Few people are fortunate enough to have naturally straight, white, and well-shaped teeth and gums. Some individuals even suffer from significant aesthetic imperfections, which can put a damper on their confidence.

After we evaluate your oral health and learn about your goals, we may recommend that you undergo a comprehensive smile makeover in Belmont.

How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
During your consultation, your cosmetic dentist in Belmont will examine your teeth and gums and learn what you would like your smile makeover to accomplish. We may take some X-Rays and photos as well. You are welcome to bring pictures of your favorite celebrity smiles to help us get an understanding of your aesthetic goals.
From there, we can determine which cosmetic treatments should be part of your personalized smile makeover plan. Some of the services that we might recommend include:
- Veneers or bonding to hide misshapen teeth, discoloration, and other flaws
- Metal-free restorations to replace unsightly metal crowns and fillings
- Professional teeth whitening to get rid of even deep-set stains
- Gum recontouring to provide you with a proportionate, well-shaped gumline
- Braces or Invisalign® to correct dental misalignment
We will use advanced software to give you a realistic preview of what your results may look like. Any feedback you give us about the preview will play an important role in designing your final treatment.
The Benefits of Getting a Smile Makeover
Some of the most outstanding benefits of a smile makeover include:
- Improved oral health and function. Some treatments that improve your smile’s appearance may also improve its health, such as orthodontics or metal-free restorations.
- Heightened confidence. Straight, white teeth are often associated with youth and success. We hope your new smile will help you love what you see in the mirror.
- Long lasting results. Depending on which treatments you commit to, the results of your smile makeover could last for a decade or longer.
- Streamlined treatment. Undergoing a comprehensive smile makeover is more efficient — and perhaps more cost-effective — than getting a bit of cosmetic work done here and there.
Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover
We will provide you with a cost estimate during your consultation. The price of your smile makeover will depend on which treatments you undergo, as well as the extent of those treatments. We are usually able to find solutions that fit our patients’ budgets; some cosmetic options are quite affordable. It is extremely rare for dental insurance to cover cosmetic procedures, but it might cover metal-free restorations or orthodontics if they are deemed necessary for your oral health. If you would like to pay for your treatment over time, you may qualify for low-interest financing through CareCredit.
Smile Makeover FAQs
Our Belmont team is passionate about both the science and art of dentistry. We love to help people achieve their ideal smile through cosmetic and restorative services! However, we understand that a smile makeover is a big commitment that should not be entered into lightly. You should be well-informed before you move forward! Below, you will find answers to some FAQs about this service. If your specific questions are not included, give us a call so we can personally assist you.
How Many Treatments Can You Include in a Smile Makeover?
There is no limit to the number of treatments that can be included in a smile makeover. Essentially, you can undergo as many treatments as necessary to reach your aesthetic goals. Some patients choose just one or two treatments — for example, they may undergo teeth whitening and then receive a set of veneers.
Other individuals require more extensive care in order to achieve their desired results. They might need a number of restorative services along with cosmetic care to improve the health and appearance of their teeth.
During your consultation, we can help you figure out how many treatments you need and can comfortably fit into your budget.
How Long Does a Smile Makeover Take?
The timeline for a smile makeover varies from case to case. Some services, such as in-office teeth whitening, can usually be completed in one short appointment. Veneers typically require at least two visits. Other treatments, such as Invisalign, take multiple appointments spaced out across the course of months or even a couple of years.
We always strive to work as efficiently as possible so our patients can enjoy their beautiful new look without an unnecessarily long wait time.
Is a Smile Makeover Safe?
Patient safety is always our top priority. We do not recommend treatments that would pose an unacceptable level of risk. And we always screen patients to make sure they do not have any oral or dental health conditions that would make it unsafe for them to undergo various procedures.
The cosmetic treatments used in a smile makeover are usually minimally invasive or non-invasive, so the risk of severe adverse outcomes is quite low. If you have questions about the potential side effects of any treatment, you are welcome to ask our knowledgeable team.
Does a Smile Makeover Hurt?
With the help of local anesthesia (when necessary) and a gentle touch, we strive to make treatments comfortable for patients. However, you may experience an increase in dental sensitivity or other side effects after some treatments. These issues are usually temporary and mild. Our team can provide guidance on how to mitigate your discomfort until your mouth is back to feeling normal.
