If you\u2019ve been considering a smile makeover<\/a>, you probably have a lot of questions for your dentist. After all, with so many big changes heading your way, it\u2019s important to know all the facts up front. If you\u2019re ready to learn more about your cosmetic dentistry options, here are some important things to ask your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1.     What Can a Smile Makeover Fix?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most important questions to ask your dentist is what problems can be fixed with the help of cosmetic dentistry. There are several treatments available that can change everything from the color of your teeth, their size and shape, and even their spacing, but which one you choose will depend on many factors, such as your budget, the severity of the issues, and the condition of your teeth and gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.     How Long Does a Smile Makeover Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smile makeover procedures could range from one appointment to several. Typically, the longer the appointment or series of appointments, the longer the results will end up lasting. It all depends on what you\u2019d like to change, and how you\u2019d like to change it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.     How Can I Make My Results Last Longer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic dentistry is an investment in your smile, and one that you\u2019ll want to extend for as long as possible. Depending on the treatment you receive, your results could last from a few years to 25 or more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure that you get the most from your procedures, brush your teeth twice a day, floss once a day, and be sure to visit your dentist twice a year for your regular biannual cleanings and exams. Furthermore, avoiding things like eating or drinking dark, staining foods and smoking can also help your results last longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.     How Much Do Smile Makeovers Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it\u2019s important to know up front how much your smile makeover will end up costing, and what factors are responsible for the price.  Because most cosmetic dentistry treatments are elective your dental insurance might not cover them but speak to your provider for more information. Your dentist may also accept payment plans from sources like CareCredit<\/a> to help make your treatment payments more manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, your smile makeover is more than just about appearances. It can have myriad benefits on your oral and mental health, so making the right choices for your lifestyle and budget are important. If you\u2019d like to learn more about your cosmetic dentistry options, speak to your dentist about your smile goals today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
