What is a Smile Makeover?

Candidates for Smile Makeovers
Do I Need a Smile Makeover?
If you're unhappy with your smile and feel that you may need a combination of cosmetic, restorative, or orthodontic treatments to reach your dental health goals, a smile makeover could be the perfect solution for you. During your consultation, Dr. Cash will assess your individual needs and recommend the most suitable treatments for your situation. She will also provide various patient resources to help keep your treatment costs manageable. Your personalized treatment plan will outline all the necessary procedures to enhance and restore your smile, prioritizing what matters most to you.
What to Expect
The Smile Makeover Process
Your treatment will always start with a comprehensive cosmetic consultation with Dr. Cash. During this session, she will discuss your specific needs, take X-rays and images of your mouth, and examine your teeth to determine the best treatment options for you.
Typically, your smile makeover will begin with orthodontic treatment, such as Invisalign, or a restorative procedure, like the placement of dental crowns or implants. Once your teeth are properly aligned and restored, we will incorporate cosmetic treatments to enhance the overall appearance of your smile. Depending on the complexity of your case, the smile makeover process can take anywhere from a few weeks to over a year. Ultimately, you can expect a smile that looks fantastic, functions beautifully, and remains strong and healthy for years to come.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE
To Do a complete smile makeover?
The duration of a complete smile makeover can vary significantly based on the specific procedures recommended for you. Some smile makeovers that focus mainly on cosmetic dentistry can be completed quickly, while more complex cases may require a longer treatment timeline.
For instance, if Dr. Cash suggests whitening your teeth followed by dental bonding to address a few gaps and a chip, the whitening process typically takes just one appointment, and dental bonding can also be completed in a single visit. In this case, you might finish your treatment in just two appointments over the course of 1-2 weeks.
On the other hand, if she recommends correcting the alignment of your teeth using Invisalign and then placing veneers, you could be looking at a treatment time of over a year. Invisalign usually takes about 12 months, and it typically takes 2-3 weeks to fit, create, and place a set of veneers.

How does the dentist decide
which procedures are needed for my smile makeover
When creating your smile makeover plan, Dr. Lindsay Cash will consider several important factors:
- Orthodontic Issues: If your teeth are crooked, crowded, or if you have a bite problem such as an overbite, underbite, open bite, or crossbite, Dr. Cash may recommend orthodontic treatment, like Invisalign, to help realign your smile.
- Overall Dental Health: Before starting any cosmetic treatments, Dr. Cash will address any existing oral health concerns, such as gum disease or cavities, to ensure your mouth is healthy. This might involve procedures like dental fillings, crowns, or even root canal therapy.
- Cosmetic Concerns: Once your dental health is addressed, Dr. Cash will focus on cosmetic issues, including misshapen teeth, gaps, and stains. Common treatments at this stage may include teeth whitening, dental bonding, shaping and contouring, and veneers.
- Your Preferences and Budget: Throughout the process, Dr. Cash will consider your preferences and financial constraints. For example, if you're uncomfortable with the idea of permanently altering your teeth for veneers, she may suggest dental bonding as a less invasive alternative.
After examining your mouth and discussing your oral health, budget, and preferences, Dr. Cash will present you with your treatment options. From there, she will create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.
