What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan to transform the look of your teeth. If you’re bothered by the way your teeth look, you might find yourself hiding your smile, avoiding social functions, and missing out on some of the joys of life.
Smile makeovers restore your confidence and help you enjoy your life. At the offices of Patrick Ryan, DMD, the team of dental experts works together to give you a treatment plan that combines restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry. Some popular cosmetic treatments include dental veneers and teeth whitening.
Smile makeovers evaluate the health of your mouth as well as its appearance. If you’re missing one or more teeth, the gap could be putting extra strain on your remaining teeth. Restorative procedures like dental implants can restore mouth function in addition to improving the beauty of your smile.
What procedures are included in a smile makeover?
The dentists at Patrick Ryan, DMD, create customized smile makeovers to meet the needs of every patient. Depending on your unique needs and goals, a smile makeover can include:
- Crowns
- Dental bonding
- Dental implants or bridges
- Orthodontics
- Teeth whitening
- Veneers
A complete smile makeover improves your oral health, beautifies your smile, and boosts your confidence.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Every patient’s smile makeover plan is different, so the time it takes to achieve your best look varies. For some, a smile makeover takes just 1-2 appointments at the office. Treatments that take just a few office visits include:
- Crowns
- Dental bonding
- Teeth whitening
- Veneers
Other procedures like orthodontics take longer. Traditional braces and Invisalign® can take anywhere from 1-2 years to fully straighten your teeth. If you need restorative dental procedures like dental implants, treatment can take a few months.
