This is a detailed rundown of what is included in a comprehensive smile makeover. This information can be quite helpful to review when considering undergoing this transformative process.

Defining a smile makeover

A comprehensive smile makeover is defined as a process that aims to improve the appearance of one's smile. All kinds of procedures can be done to completely transform one's smile, targeting the teeth and gums.

What procedures can be done?

The most common procedures in the smile makeover process are as follows.

  • Tooth replacement via dentures, implants, bridges, or a combination thereof
  • Gum contouring to target misshaped tissue that makes the smile appear uneven
  • Braces or aligners to address crowding, crooked teeth, or alignment issues
  • Teeth whitening to remove stains and reduce yellowing of the enamel
  • Dental veneers to cover imperfections and abnormalities of the front teeth or to cover severe stains that cannot be lifted via whitening applications
  • Crowns on the back molar teeth to cover up damage, imperfections, chips, and cracks

These procedures are just a few of the most common ones that are part of the smile makeover process. There are many others that a dentist can perform to completely transform one's smile.

Things to keep in mind

When considering a smile makeover of any kind, patients need to understand a few things that will make the process easier and run smoother. First, they should know that the timeline of a smile makeover can require patience, especially if multiple procedures are being done.

Those who want to replace teeth or undergo gum contouring procedures will have to wait in between procedures due to the healing process. Results are not always immediate and often require follow-up care, which also takes time. Knowing this ahead of time will help patients set appropriate expectations.

Second, a smile makeover may require trial and error. Procedures that work for some people might not work for others, which is completely normal and understandable, since everyone is different.
