Smile Makeover

A Custom Treatment Plan for a Smile Makeover with our Dentists

When you look and feel your best, people notice the difference. Modern cosmetic dentistry can totally transform your smile if you want to change your image. If you are considering more than one procedure, you may want a smile makeover, a comprehensive combination of cosmetic dental procedures intended to enhance your smile’s beauty and appearance. The makeover will focus on correcting various problems, including broken, chipped, crooked, missing, or discolored teeth.

A Smile Makeover with the Dentists at Sninski & Schmitt Family Dentistry

With a smile makeover, Sninski & Schmitt Family Dentistry can also fix uneven, unsightly gums. The makeover process can also dramatically change the length, width, color, and shape of your teeth to produce a uniform, vibrant appearance. Our knowledgeable and compassionate dentists will talk with you about whether you want a more attractive smile line, shorter gums, or even whiter teeth. A smile makeover, however, is not just cosmetic in approach. During the evaluation, Sninski & Schmitt Family Dentistry will also check for functional problems such as a bad bite or malocclusion.

What is a Smile Makeover? 

A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan that combines cosmetic and surgical dental procedures to enhance the appearance of your smile. The makeover process can dramatically change the length, width, color, and shape of your teeth to produce a uniform, vibrant appearance. It achieves improvements by addressing a variety of issues, such as discoloration, gaps, chips, and misalignment, through procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, and orthodontics. At Sninski & Schmidt, we create a customized plan after an initial consultation to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

Common Procedures Included in a Smile Makeover

These are some of the common procedures that may be included in a smile makeover:

• Teeth Whitening: Brightens stained or discolored teeth.
• Porcelain Veneers: Thin shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve their shape, color, and symmetry.
• Dental Crowns: Cover the tooth to restore its strength and shape, or to improve its appearance.
• Dental Bonding: Utilizes a tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips, cracks, or uneven tooth edges.
• Orthodontics/Invisalign: Straightens crooked teeth or closes gaps.
• Gum Contouring: Reshapes the gum line to address a “gummy smile” or create a more even appearance.
• Dental Implants: Replace missing teeth.

Benefits of Making Over Your Smile

The advantages of having a smile makeover include:

• Boosted Confidence and Emotional Well-Being: A predictable outcome and natural-looking cosmetic enhancement allow patients to speak, smile, and interact with more confidence. This can affect social, professional, and personal situations.
• Functional Dental Improvements: A smile makeover often improves more than appearance. Correcting bite issues, replacing missing teeth, or fixing worn enamel can reduce jaw pain, prevent further damage, and improve overall dental function.
• Improved Oral Health: Many makeovers involve addressing cavities, gum disease, structural problems, and worn restorations. You’re not just improving appearance—you’re improving the health foundation behind the smile.
• Minimizing Office Visits. With a comprehensive smile makeover, our dentists group the cosmetic procedures in a more efficient manner so as to save you time and minimize office visits.
• Saving Money. Because a smile makeover is intended to provide a comprehensive solution, patients can avoid redundant dental procedures.

How A Smile Makeover Works

Step 1: Consultation

We begin by evaluating your dental health, discussing your goals, and taking X-rays or pictures to plan the procedures. Our knowledgeable and compassionate dentists will talk with you about whether you want a more attractive smile line, shorter gums, or even whiter teeth. It’s important to note that a smile makeover is not just cosmetic in approach. During the evaluation, Sninski & Schmitt Family Dentistry will also check for functional problems such as a bad bite or malocclusion.

Step 2: Customized Plan

Based on the information we obtain during the consultation, our dentists will suggest a series of treatments tailored to your specific needs, budget, and timeline.

Step 3: Treatment

The makeover can take anywhere from a week to several months to complete, depending on the complexity of the plan.

The Cost of a Smile Makeover

The total cost of a smile makeover depends on the specific procedures required, the number of teeth treated, and the materials used. Factors influencing the cost include the types of cosmetic treatments like veneers, crowns, or whitening, and the complexity of your case. For an accurate estimate, it is essential to consult a cosmetic dentist for a personalized plan. The final price is determined by several key factors:

• Type and number of procedures: A smile makeover is a combination of treatments, which might include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental crowns, dental implants, cosmetic bonding, and gum contouring. The more procedures needed, and the more complex they are, the higher the total cost.
• Extent of Preparatory Work: Any underlying dental issues, such as decay or gum disease, must be addressed before cosmetic treatments can begin, adding to the overall cost.
