Call us today to learn more about the smile makeover process.
The exact details of the smile makeover process are different for every patient. The first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Gizachew so that you can explain the changes that you want to make to your smile. Once he understands your goals, he will thoroughly examine your mouth and face. He’ll then consider which services are needed to help you achieve your dream smile before putting together your customized treatment plan.
A smile makeover is a big step, but it’s one that’s well worth taking. There are several benefits to having the process done:
Dr. Gizachew can go over these benefits in more detail with you during your initial consultation, and he’ll be happy to walk you through the available options so that you can be sure that you’re truly making the best choice for your grin.
When planning your smile makeover, you should definitely take the time to consider the costs involved. Since every treatment plan is different, the final price will vary from patient to patient. During your initial consultation, we will take the time to explain how much you can expect to pay for each individual treatment so that you have an idea of what the overall cost will look like.
We’ll make sure that you fully understand what financial options are available for making your smile makeover more affordable. For example, certain procedures might be eligible for discounts under our in-house membership plan. You can also apply for financing through CareCredit, allowing you to break up the overall cost into smaller monthly installments.
Yes! Since cosmetic dental treatments tend to be non-invasive and low risk, you can be rest assured that you’ll be safe during your smile makeover.
To be as certain as possible that your oral health won’t be harmed, we’ll thoroughly examine your mouth before proceeding with your plan. Active oral conditions like gum disease and cavities can complicate dental cosmetic treatments or make them painful, so it’s important to take care of these issues first.
Generally, most patients don’t find their smile makeovers to be very painful. However, since your treatment plan could involve a variety of procedures, it makes sense to ask this question!
Some treatments don’t require an anesthetic, but you can be sure that for the ones that do, we’ll administer it to effectively numb your mouth. We also offer sedation dentistry, so if you have dental anxiety or become uncomfortable while sitting still for long periods of time, we can secure your comfort.
After your makeover, you can expect your teeth and gums to be sore. Fortunately, OTC pain relievers are usually enough to alleviate the discomfort. If you do experience severe pain, call us right away so we can get you taken care of!
Most dental treatments don’t have an age limit, though a few might require a certain amount of development. It probably wouldn’t be a good idea to put dental veneers on baby teeth, for example, and it’s not recommended to get dental implants until the jawbone is done growing.
The more important thing is to have good oral health. But if you do have cavities, gum disease, or a weakened jawbone, we can help you take care of that so that you can safely receive your makeover!
With daily oral hygiene! It might sound simplistic, but it’s true. Brushing and flossing your teeth every day helps mitigate bacteria and pigment build up, keeping your smile fresh (and healthy).
Another good tip is to avoid dark beverages and staining foods. Wine, tea, coffee, curry, and tomato-based sauces are just a few examples of things that can easily darken your dental cosmetics. Drinking your morning coffee through a straw can help limit contact between strong pigments and your teeth, but it might be best to lower your overall consumption of these items.
