Let’s Get You a New Smile Makeover This New Year
We all want to have a beautiful smile. Unfortunately, not all of us have the privilege of being born with a perfect smile. Luckily, there are several procedures designed to improve one’s smile. That’s what is referred to as a smile makeover. In this blog, we will discuss smile makeovers in detail to help you make an informed decision.
What is Smile/Teeth Makeover?
Teeth makeover is the process of improving a person’s smile using different procedures such as dental bonding, veneers, and whitening.
How Long Does Smile Makeover Take?
Generally, the duration of a teeth makeover will be determined by the procedure. Some procedures take as long as three years, while others take as less as 45 minutes. For example, if you want to correct misaligned teeth through orthodontic treatment, it can take as long as three years, depending on the extent of the problem.
On the other hand, if you want to correct teeth discoloration through whitening, it won’t take you more than 45 minutes in the dental clinic. Your dentist will explain the duration of the procedure of your choice so that you can be psychologically prepared.
Benefits of Teeth Makeover
Improving your smile comes with many benefits, and you should definitely consider enhancing yours this New Year. New Year, new you, you should treat yourself in 2021. Some of the benefits of teeth makeover include:
Boosts Your Self Confidence
People who are not proud of their smiles don’t smile regularly, and this often affects their self-confidence. You can boost your self-confidence by getting a smile enhancement.
Improves Your Oral and General Health
Teeth makeover improves more than the appearance of your teeth. For example, if you have chipped teeth, dental bonding will improve the appearance and functionality of the affected teeth. Also, when you have a beautiful smile, you will take extra measures to maintain it.
A Beautiful Smile Makes You a Happier Person
We all want to be happier in life, and you can help yourself by enhancing your smile this New Year. When you have a beautiful smile, you will be proud of it, and you will smile more. When you smile, your body releases endorphins (feel-chemicals), elevating your mood.
Improves Your First Impression
It takes seconds to make the first impression, and the person can use the impression to describe your personality. Typically, people with beautiful and brighter smiles are perceived as smart, clean, and trustworthy. Therefore, you can make people trust, and like you more if you improve your smile.
The Cost of Teeth Makeover
One of the few reasons why many people don’t try to enhance their smiles is because they believe that it is super expensive. That’s not the case, though. The cost of teeth makeovers is determined by the procedure, and most procedures are relatively affordable. Some treatments can cost you as low as $300.
However, there are some expensive procedures, but the cost is fair since they are quite complex and take longer.
For example, if you want to correct misaligned teeth, Invisalign® will cost you extra, but the result will justify the cost. The treatment will take up to 18 months, and your dentist will be with you throughout the journey. You will always get the worth of your money.
Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Makeover?
Most teeth makeover procedures are not recommended for children since they are conducted on permanent teeth. The only smile makeover procedure common among children is orthodontic treatment. That said, here are the perfect candidates for teeth makeover procedures:
- A person with discolored teeth.
- Anyone with misaligned teeth or wide gaps between teeth.
- A person who has crowded teeth.
- Anyone with chipped or cracked teeth.
- A person missing a few teeth.
- Anyone who wants to start smiling more and become a happier person.
Does Insurance Cover Teeth Makeover?
In most cases, insurance does not cover purely cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening and dental veneers. However, if the procedure is both restorative and cosmetic, e.g., dental crowns, the insurance might cover half of the cost. Be sure to confirm with your provider first.
