5 Questions You Should Ask Before a Smile Makeover

Having a smile makeover is a great way to alter the teeth and gums so they are more aesthetically pleasing. A smile makeover may also simultaneously help improve oral function and health. Listed below are some important questions to ask your provider during a consultation for a smile makeover.

Do You Have Before and After Pictures?

It is always helpful to know what your results could look like, especially when you are considering spending both your time and hard-earned money on the procedures that make up a smile makeover. Be sure to ask your dentist for before and after pictures of the treatment you are considering –  this is a fantastic way to get a good idea of what to expect.

What Procedures are Involved?

There could be a number of different procedures involved in a smile makeover depending on the needs and oral health of the patient. 


Some patients may simply need minor adjustments made like teeth whitening or sealants, while others may require more extensive treatment. If you are missing teeth, your dentist may talk to you about implants, bridges, or dentures. Whatever the procedures are, you want to ensure that you are as informed and educated about your treatment as possible.

How Much Will it Cost?

The cost of treatment depends on the individual needs of the patient and the types of treatment that are added to the plan. It’s always a good idea to find out how much – if any – of the procedures and appointments your insurance will cover prior to pursuing treatment.

How Long Will it Last? 

For the most part, your smile makeover results should be permanent as long as proper oral care is practiced. Teeth straightening treatments are designed to be permanent, but it is absolutely necessary to wear your retainer to preserve your new smile after treatment is complete.  If you get professional teeth whitening done, you may need to get it touched up eventually.

How Long Will it Take?

The length of time it takes to complete a smile makeover depends on each patient’s needs. With minimal imperfections, a smile makeover could be done within a couple dental appointments. For people with broken or missing teeth, the process may take a longer amount of time and a greater number of dental appointments. A consultation with your dentist can help you determine what to expect.
