How Does a Smile Makeover Work?

The smile makeover process begins with a consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Westborough. Our team will learn about your oral health and goals for treatment. If there is anything specific that you want to achieve, be sure to let us know — feel free to bring pictures to help us understand exactly what results you are hoping for. We may use advanced software to give you a preview of your treatment results so you can have a realistic understanding of what we can accomplish.

After your consultation, we will get to work on your smile. Your makeover might include such treatments as:

Teeth whitening to get rid of discoloration
Veneers or bonding to reshape chipped or cracked teeth
Metal-free restorations to replace unsightly metal crowns and fillings
Gum contouring to provide a more proportionate smile
Orthodontic treatment to straighten misaligned teeth

The Benefits of Getting a Smile Makeover

Some potential benefits of a smile makeover include:

Enhanced confidence. When you feel good about your appearance, you are more likely to feel comfortable with yourself and others.
Improved career success. Various studies have shown that people with attractive smiles are perceived as being friendlier, more approachable, and more successful than those with obvious aesthetic imperfections in their teeth.
Long-lasting results. The results of some cosmetic treatments can last for well over a decade.
Improved oral health. Some cosmetic treatments have inherent oral health benefits. For example, orthodontia may lower your risk of cavities and broken teeth.
Streamlined treatment. A smile makeover is designed to be as efficient as possible (as opposed to just getting a cosmetic service completed here and there over time).

Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover

The price of a smile makeover varies from case to case. It depends on which treatments you undergo and the extent of those treatments. For example, someone who gets one or two veneers and a teeth whitening treatment will logically pay less than an individual who gets Invisalign, then follows it up with a full set of veneers. Our team will be sure to candidly discuss pricing with you before you commit to anything. We can also help you apply for financing if necessary. Insurance usually does not cover smile makeover services, but there are some exceptions if a treatment will significantly benefit a patient’s oral health.

Smile Makeover FAQs

How Long Does a Smile Makeover Take?

The duration of a smile makeover depends on which procedures are included in it. Some cosmetic treatments, such as in-office teeth whitening or dental bonding, take just one appointment to complete. Others, like veneers, require a few appointments. If orthodontia is part of your smile makeover, you can expect it to take at least several months.

Whenever circumstances allow for it, we perform multiple treatments simultaneously in order to increase the efficiency of care.

During your consultation, our team will evaluate your unique case and help you understand the road ahead. We can also estimate how long your total smile makeover will take.

Is a Smile Makeover Safe?

The procedures included in a smile makeover are generally quite safe. We use products and techniques that have a track record of safety and success, and we would never take any unnecessary risks with your oral health.

Of course, with that being said, not every treatment is right for every patient. For example, if you have pre-existing oral health conditions, we will need to take care of those before you move forward with procedures that are purely cosmetic in nature.

Does a Smile Makeover Hurt?

A lot of cosmetic procedures are non-invasive or minimally invasive, so any discomfort you experience should be tolerable. For some procedures, we offer sedation so patients feel little to nothing while we are working.

After certain treatments, a degree of discomfort is normal. For example, teeth whitening may make your teeth extra-sensitive for a short period. Sensitivity is also common with veneers. After gum recontouring, some soreness is to be expected. Most patients recover quickly and are back to feeling normal within days or weeks.

If you experience any severe or prolonged pain after a dental treatment, you should contact us for advice.

Is a Smile Makeover Worth It?

A smile makeover can cost a significant amount of money, so you might naturally wonder if it is worth your hard-earned funds. That is really up to you! However, many people have decided that a smile makeover is worth it because of the benefits they enjoy, such as increased confidence and a more youthful appearance.

Some people even find that a more attractive smile makes it easier for them to thrive in the workplace or secure a new job. In a sense, then, their cosmetic treatments actually help them make money!

Can I See Smile Makeover Results Ahead of Time?

In our practice, we use advanced software to help patients see the results of their cosmetic treatments. We will take some photos of your teeth and upload them into the program, and then we can manipulate the photos to provide a realistic preview of what you may look like after your treatment is complete. We will take your feedback into account and adjust your treatment plan with the goal of providing results that you will love!
