What is a Smile Makeover?

Often, patients come to our office with more than one dental issue. When a patient needs numerous treatments to have the smile of their dreams, our cosmetic dentist in Northridge often suggests a smile makeover.

Patients frequently ask our staff what a smile makeover consists of; this is a difficult question to answer. A smile makeover is not just a single procedure. It is one of a kind care plan you create with the oversight of our dentist. The goal of a smile makeover is to give you a smile you love.

While no two smile makeovers are the same, here is a list of the most popular treatments in a smile makeover.
• Bonding
• Braces
• Crowns
• Gum Contouring
• Implants
• Invisalign
• Teeth Whitening
• Veneers

There are several phases involved in your smile makeover. Be advised that this is not a fast fix, and you will have weeks or possibly months of dental appointments before the work is complete.


STEPS INVOLVED IN A SMILE MAKEOVER

1. CONSULTATION- Your consultation with our dentist aims to find out the specific things you dislike about your smile and what you would like to change. Once you and our dentist share a clear picture of the smile you want, your smile makeover will begin.
2. EXAMINATION- A complete exam, including x-rays, is your next step in the makeover process. Occasionally, our dentist finds minor problems, like a cavity, we must repair before moving forward.
3. TIME FRAME- It is difficult to pinpoint exactly how various long phases of your treatment will last. Some procedures, like dental implants or orthodontic treatments, revolve around how quickly your body acclimates to the procedure.
4. TREATMENTS- Once all of your plans are in place, our dentist will start your smile makeover. Remember to be patient. This is an ongoing process with outstanding results. It will be worth your time.
5. COMPLETION AND FOLLOW-UP VISITS- Once all of the treatments are complete, we will schedule several follow up appointments. These are essential for maintaining results and troubleshooting problems.

The majority of our smile makeover patients tell us the makeover changed their life. Why not call us today and start your smile makeover?
