Smile Makeovers

A beautiful smile enhances personal, professional and overall appearance. A smile makeover is the process of improving a smile through one or more cosmetic dentistry procedure.

Cosmetic dentists at WPF Dental consider many factors when deciding the treatment plan for a smile makeover such as spacing between teeth, length of teeth, tooth color and shade. The dentists at our San Antonio office give an individualized, comprehensive smile evaluation to help you determine how to achieve your smile goals.

Evaluation

A complete smile makeover evaluation looks at the patient’s facial appearance, structure, skin tone, hair color, teeth, gum tissue and lips to develop the ideal smile. Smile makeovers can be customized based on a patient’s unique requirements.

During the first evaluation, the dentist will discuss what can be improved from a smile makeover, such as:

• Teeth color-those who have discolored teeth from aging, food, drink, or other yellowing factors, can improve their smile through teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, crowns, or dental implants.
• Alignment- misaligned teeth can be straightened through Invisalign, braces, or veneers.
• Missing teeth- can negatively affect the appearance of your smile and can be replaced with dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures.
• Chipped, cracked, uneven- these teeth can be cosmetically bonded with veneers to improve appearance.

Smile Makeover FAQs

Why get a smile makeover?

Smile makeovers lift self-confidence, restore correct oral functions, and provide a younger, healthier look. Through scheduling a consultation at our San Antonio office, you and your dentist will work together to achieve the smile you always hoped for.

Who are the best candidates?

Anyone who wants to improve their smile’s appearance is a good candidate.

How many appointments does a smile makeover take?

This depends on the number and type of procedures included in your smile makeover. It could be as quick as one appointment or scheduled over a few weeks. But usually it only takes two to three visits.

Does dental insurance cover smile makeovers?

If the procedures are also restorative, insurance may cover some. Our staff will work with you to fill out the appropriate paper work and ensure that you get the full benefit of any coverage you may have.

How long does it last?

Cosmetic dentistry procedures require regular oral hygiene care, and maintenance, but the beauty of a smile makeover can last a long time. Touch-ups might be needed every 10-15 years, but people don’t mind these because of the amazing benefits of the treatment.  If good dental care is maintained, the enhancements will last even longer.
