What to Focus on for Your Smile Makeover

For people hoping to enhance or restore their smile, there are many dental treatments available that can provide a total smile makeover. Misaligned, stained, or misshapen teeth can often be addressed using cosmetic dental solutions, giving an individual a new look and a smile to be proud of. Planning for a makeover requires focusing on the desired end result and working with a dentist to develop an effective solution for achieving those desires.

3 areas of focus when planning the transformation

The process for totally transforming a smile could take a number of days, weeks, or months, depending on the end goal. The time a patient is willing to commit to the process impacts which treatments are a suitable option. For an accurate assessment of what solutions fit a specific condition or to get an idea of how long the process will take, it is important to consult with a dental professional. Dental conditions vary across individuals, so a customized plan can achieve the transformation desired. Individuals should take these three areas into consideration during the consultation.

1. Consider long-term dental health

For many, the end goal of a smile makeover is an improved appearance, but the greater priority should concern the individual’s long-term dental condition. More complex treatments like implants have a long-term benefit to oral health, such as the prevention of tooth or bone loss, while also improving the look of the teeth and mouth. Noninvasive treatments like teeth whitening improve appearance without manipulating the jaws or gums but may not have as lasting results as other makeover treatments.

2. Determine the priority

As the plan for transforming the smile unfolds, defining the overall purpose of the makeover helps narrow down effective treatment options. Are the treatments being considered to simply change the color or look of the smile, or are there structural concerns with the teeth impacting how the smile appears? A solution for changing crooked teeth is not the same as a plan to change how white the teeth look. It could be that a total smile makeover requires multiple types of treatment, in which case a consultation with a dental professional can establish the path forward.

3. Decide on the boundaries

A total makeover could mean many things, and the individual patient should clearly establish the boundaries for the treatments. Though improved appearance is a goal, is the focus to remain natural looking or to look completely brand new? The smile is just one part of a person’s appearance, and the structure of the jaws or cheekbone, the color of the teeth, and a person’s skin tone can all impact the overall look of a smile. Treatments that create an unnatural appearance may not bring the desired results of positive attention or self-confidence. In many situations, a natural, healthy look is the focus for a makeover.

Conclusion

Achieving a smile makeover could involve professional teeth whitening or scheduling veneers or implants for a more permanent alteration. Work with a dental professional to plan suitable and effective ways to achieve a noticeable difference in your smile.
