A smile makeover is a customized comprehensive cosmetic treatment plan designed to enhance the overall appearance of your smile and improve your confidence. This treatment plan would involve two or more procedures determined by your aesthetic goals. Some makeover treatments in this plan include teeth whitening, white fillings, crowns, veneers, cosmetic bonding, dental implants and other orthodontic treatments.
The smile makeover treatment plan can correct several cosmetic dental issues, such as:
Missing teeth
Chipped or cracked teeth
Stained or discoloured teeth
Misaligned or crooked teeth
Since the makeover plan involves both cosmetic and restorative dentistry, your dentist can help you figure out the procedures you need to achieve the smile you deserve.
The smile makeover treatment plan’s timeline is determined based on the number and type of procedures to be done. Procedures like white fillings and cosmetic bonding can be done in a single appointment, but longer procedures such as dental implants and orthodontic procedures may take several months.
The crown lengthening procedure takes about 3 months to recover from. At this time, it is recommended to perform usual activities, but you are advised to avoid sticky food for the first 24 hours and abstain from any difficult tasks for the first 48-72 hours after the procedure is done.
