Cosmetic dentistry procedures allow your dentist to make all kinds of alterations to the color or shape of your teeth. However, you may not need subtle changes; some people want to completely transform how their smile looks and feels.
For them, there are smile makeovers, which combine multiple cosmetic procedures to completely alter how you look. If you have a smile makeover consultation coming up, here are some questions it may be a good idea to ask your dentist.
Do You Have Before and After Photos?
One of the most important aspects of a smile makeover consultation is finding out from your dentist what you can expect to look like. That means a) understanding what each cosmetic treatment can do for you, and b) figuring out what your dentist is capable of.
Dentists often take before and after photos for marketing purposes that can allow you to do both of these things at once!
How Long Will Treatment Take?
Many cosmetic treatments are quick and convenient, with some taking as little as one appointment to see results. Others, on the other hand, require several appointments a few weeks apart. A full smile makeover makes use of many different procedures, which means that they can potentially be a little bit of a time commitment.
It’s best to get a sense of how much time if will take to see results before you begin cosmetic treatment; that way, you can decide whether or not you’re prepared to make that commitment.
How Long Will the Results Last?
The opposite side of that coin is that cosmetic dental treatments don’t last forever. Whether you’re getting whitening, veneers, direct bonding, or crowns, you’ll have to replace your cosmetics eventually. If you’re going to invest in your smile, it’s important to understand what you’re going to get out of that investment.
Of course, you should feel free to ask your dentist any questions that you could have. They’ll be happy to clear up any concerns so that you can feel completely comfortable before your smile makeover!
