A smile makeover involves a bespoke treatment plan which combines popular cosmetic dentistry solutions. This can cover anything from teeth straightening, gum contouring, teeth whitening and much more. The aim of this treatment is to give you an improvement in your smile that makes you feel more confident.
This works by booking a consultation to discuss in-depth how you feel about your smile. In this session, you’ll learn about the various treatment options and how they can change the symmetry, shape, size and shade of your teeth.
Is a Smile Makeover Right for You?
If you’re unsure, speak to your dentist who will be able to guide you about the options available.
Common Concerns Addressed by Smile Makeovers
Someone may be wanting a dental makeover for a wide number of reasons. This includes misaligned teeth, which are crooked and overcrowded, as well as minor damage like cracks and chips. It can also include missing teeth, gaps, misshaped teeth, permanent stains and more. A bespoke plan helps address all these issues and get them fixed in the most effective way.
Ideal Candidates for Smile Transformations
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile for a range of reasons, then a smile makeover could be ideal for you. Candidates having a dental makeover must have good oral health overall and be willing to upkeep this.
Smile Makeovers vs. Individual Treatments
Individual treatments can help with specific issues, but a smile makeover can treat a whole host of problems at once. For example, someone may have lots of missing teeth, but also have chips and cracks in their existing teeth.
Treatments Included in a Smile Makeover
A dental makeover combines a range of treatments to give you your dream smile.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening removes stains to leave your teeth looking brighter and whiter. We use customised teeth whitening trays to do this, which are much more successful and less dangerous compared to kits that you can buy over the counter. Our teeth whitening treatment is safe and performed by experienced professionals for fantastic results. It’s clinically proven to lighten your teeth by several shades.
Dental Veneers
If your teeth have minor imperfections, veneers might be included in your dental makeover. For example, your teeth may be crooked, chipped, misaligned, gappy or permanently discoloured. A thin layer of tooth structure is removed during this procedure. A custom moulding made from porcelain, which typically comes in the form of shells, is then bonded to the front surface of your teeth.
Orthodontics (Braces or Clear Aligners)
Braces and Invisalign® clear aligners are solutions that are used to straighten your teeth. They can also fix overcrowded, protruding and overbite smiles to improve your confidence. Removable braces and Invisalign® can produce outstanding results in weeks or months instead of years.
Dental Implants and Restorations
Dental implants are minimally invasive and are a modern solution for replacing your missing teeth. The process involves placing a titanium post into your jawbone to act as a tooth root. This post then supports a dental restoration, which could be a crown, bridge or even dentures. This restores your natural look and creates an amazing smile transformation.
Longevity and Maintenance of Your New Smile
To look after your new smile and make it last, you need to take the appropriate steps.
Proper Oral Hygiene Practices
Make sure you brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Floss at least once each day and avoid sugary foods and drinks where possible. Maintaining proper oral hygiene practices means you’re taking steps to protect your teeth.
Avoiding Habits That Can Damage Your Smile
This can depend on what treatments are involved in your smile makeover. Whatever this may be, it’s best to avoid hard or sticky foods and try to control habits like teeth grinding. Factors like these can put stress on your teeth which could lead to suboptimal results.
Routine Dental Check-Ups
If you attend routine dental check-ups, your dentist will be able to find any early signs of problems like tooth decay before they worsen. During these appointments, your dentist can also check that your smile makeover is all intact.
Cost of a Smile Makeover
Dental makeovers aren’t available on the NHS because they’re considered a cosmetic treatment. Depending on what’s included in your individual treatment plan, the amount you pay can range from hundreds to thousands of pounds. You’ll be told the price of your smile makeover before treatment begins.
