The process of receiving a smile makeover looks different for every patient. However, the first step is always the same: a consultation at our office with our team! After we’ve assessed your dental needs and discussed your goals with you, we can put together a custom treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic treatments like veneers, metal-free restorations, teeth whitening, and beyond – whatever may be needed to improve your smile’s aesthetics! From there, all we have to do is carry out the plan, and due to the nature of the smile makeover process, it’s much quicker and more efficient than it would be to target these issues one at a time.

  • You’ll experience boosted self-esteem and a more positive outlook on life.

  • Correcting certain problems, like cracked teeth or unevenly spaced teeth, can reduce the risk of future oral health problems and improve the function of your bite.
  • It should also become easier to take care of your smile, and you might even feel more motivated to preserve your beautiful results!

Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover

Since every smile makeover is different, there is no “set cost” when it comes to the treatment – it will depend on what services are being used to help you achieve your goals. That said, we can only give you a cost estimate once we’ve had the chance to meet with you and review your goals. Remember, cosmetic dentistry often isn’t covered by dental insurance – however, our practice is committed to helping you afford your dream smile! We’re partnered with CareCredit, giving our patients a way of making their overall cost of care fit comfortably into their budget. Just contact our office to learn more!

Smile Makeover FAQs

How Many Treatments Can Be Included in My Smile Makeover?

Many people have questions about what to expect from their smile makeover, such as how many different procedures can be included. The truth is, there’s no limit to how many treatments you can include; it all depends on the changes you want to see and the services required to help achieve your goals.

For example, if you’re frustrated by stubborn stains you can’t seem to brush away, our team in Farmington Hills can provide professional teeth whitening to effectively and safely address extrinsic discoloration. However, intrinsic blemishes in the lower layer of dentin might not respond to bleach, so you might also need dental bonding or veneers to mask imperfections.  

How Long Do Smile Makeovers Take?

The time it takes to complete your smile makeover depends significantly on your circumstances and the procedures you select. This is because some options, like in-office whitening, can be completed in a single hour-long visit. Others, like placing porcelain veneers or a dental crown, can require multiple appointments spanning several weeks to finish.

Before proceeding with any cosmetic or restorative services, you’ll need to consult our team to ensure you’re a good candidate. This appointment is an ideal time to discuss any questions you have about your desired treatments and their timelines. Our staff are happy to answer as many questions as it takes for you to feel confident and comfortable moving forward.

Do Smile Makeovers Hurt?

Plenty of patients experience anxiety when it comes to dental work, especially if they’re unsure what to expect. However, our team knows that you might be nervous and will do everything we can to ease your frayed nerves.

Thankfully, most cosmetic procedures are considered non-invasive because there’s no need for needles or surgery. Regardless, we’ll apply a local anesthetic to prevent nerves from sending pain signals to your brain. Some options, like placing veneers or dental crowns, involve removing a small amount of enamel from your teeth. This can cause some temporary sensitivity that should dissipate on its own, and can typically be mitigated with over-the-counter meds like ibuprofen or Tylenol.

Does Insurance Cover Smile Makeovers?

Most dental insurance policies are set up to encourage proper preventive care and tend to cover 100% of standard services and often 50% to 80% of treatments needed to repair any damage that occurs, like root canals and extractions. However, they don’t usually include cosmetic procedures that enhance your appearance more than your oral health.

As a result, your makeover might not be covered by insurance, though there may be exceptions. For instance, your initial exam and X-rays might be included as a standard service. You might also be covered if the changes to your teeth are deemed medically necessary, like if you need a dental crown to restore an unsightly broken tooth.
