Overview

A smile makeover at Manningtree Dental and Implant Centre is a comprehensive cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the overall appearance of your smile. This tailored approach combines various dental procedures to address multiple aesthetic concerns, creating a harmonious and radiant smile that boosts both confidence and self-esteem. Each smile makeover is personalised to meet your unique needs and goals.

What Is A Smile Makeover Used To Treat?

A smile makeover is ideal for individuals seeking to correct a range of cosmetic issues. These may include stained or discoloured teeth, crooked or misaligned teeth, gaps between teeth, chipped or cracked teeth, and uneven gum lines. The makeover addresses these concerns to improve the smile’s overall appearance, functionality, and symmetry.

The Treatment Process

Each smile makeover is unique, involving the most suitable procedures to create a healthy-looking smile. Our process typically involves:

Initial Consultation

The process begins with an in-depth consultation where your dentist evaluates your dental health and discusses your cosmetic goals. X-rays, digital scans, and impressions may be taken to create a detailed treatment plan.

Treatment Planning

Based on the assessment, a customised smile makeover plan is developed. This plan may include a combination of treatments such as teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental crowns, orthodontics, and gum contouring.

Procedure Execution

Each component of the makeover is carried out in a series of appointments. For example, teeth whitening is done first to achieve a bright base. Veneers or crowns are then crafted and placed to correct shape and alignment issues. Orthodontic treatments, if needed, are integrated to achieve optimal alignment.

Final Adjustments

After the primary treatments are complete, final adjustments are made to ensure everything aligns perfectly and meets your aesthetic expectations.

Our practice also offers a ‘Smile Enhancement’ package which can improve your overall smile aesthetics. It includes: a comprehensive dental examination, professional teeth cleaning, teeth whitening treatment, and cosmetic consultation for veneers or bonding.

Treatment Aftercare

Following a smile makeover, maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial to preserving your results. This includes regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. Avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages and following any specific aftercare instructions provided by your dentist will help ensure the longevity of your new smile.

FAQs

How long does a smile makeover take?

The duration of a smile makeover varies based on the complexity of the treatment plan. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Simple treatments like teeth whitening might be completed in a single visit, while more comprehensive makeovers involving orthodontics or multiple procedures may require multiple appointments spread over a few months. Your dentist will provide a timeline based on your specific needs and the treatments involved.

Will my insurance cover a smile makeover?

Smile makeovers are often considered cosmetic and may not be fully covered by dental insurance. Coverage varies depending on the insurance plan and the procedures included in your makeover. It’s advisable to check with your insurance provider to understand your benefits and discuss financing options with your dental office if necessary.

Can I combine a smile makeover with other dental treatments?

Yes, a smile makeover can be combined with other dental treatments such as routine cleanings, periodontal care, or restorative work like fillings and crowns. Integrating these treatments ensures that both the aesthetic and functional aspects of your dental health are addressed, leading to a comprehensive improvement in your oral health and appearance.

How do I choose the right treatments for my smile makeover?

The right treatments for your smile makeover depend on your specific goals and dental issues. Your dentist will assess your needs and discuss options that align with your aesthetic desires and functional requirements. Factors such as tooth colour, alignment, and overall oral health will guide the selection of treatments to achieve the best results.

Are there any risks associated with a smile makeover?

While smile makeovers are generally safe, some risks can include temporary sensitivity, gum irritation, or discomfort, particularly with treatments like veneers or braces. Following your dentist’s aftercare instructions and attending follow-up appointments can minimise these risks and ensure a smooth recovery. Your dentist will discuss potential risks and how to manage them during your initial consultation.
