Benefits of Smile Makeovers
Smile makeovers are a flexible way to achieve the smile you are looking for because they involve a wide variety of options.
Smile makeovers let patients have all of their cosmetic dental issues resolved through a combination of treatments. In every case, the treatment choices are based on exam findings and patient preferences. However, the advantages of smile makeovers include much more than flexibility.
Personalized Treatment Process
Patients receiving a smile makeover first visit our Agoura Hills cosmetic dentist for a thorough exam. After taking note of cosmetic flaws, our dentist explains a list of treatment options to patients. In some cases, individual flaws may have multiple solutions. The treatments patients choose are then scheduled for completion over a set number of visits. Depending on the number and type of treatments patients choose, the treatments may be finished in a matter of days, weeks or months.
Many Treatment Options
An array of treatments can be included in a smile makeover. Among the most basic options are teeth whitening, for addressing stained enamel, and bonding, for covering flaws and damage. If teeth are missing, patients may benefit from dentures, dental bridges or implants. Veneers, crowns and Snap-On Smile are among the other options that may be recommended to patients.
Flexible Candidacy
Many of the procedures included in smile makeovers have wide-open candidacy criteria. When candidacy may be an issue with certain treatment options, patients may be able to choose an alternative treatment instead. In other cases, patients may be able to undergo another treatment first to ensure their eligibility. This is sometimes the case with dental implants, which may require patients to receive jaw bone grafting beforehand to boost their jaw bone mass.
In addition to offering a complete path to better appearance, a smile makeover can be more efficient for recipients than having procedures done separately. Time and money may be saved as a result. At a consultation with our smile makeover dentist in Agoura Hills, patients can learn more about the advantages of these unique treatment combinations.
