This year, you\u2019ve decided to finally pull the trigger and fix your smile. You may not be exactly sure about the specific treatment, but you are determined to find the dentist who can give you the makeover of your dreams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, before you pick \u201cthe one,\u201d there is certain information you should know. Here are four questions you should ask during your smile makeover<\/a> consultation to make sure you\u2019re working with the best dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Treatment(s) Do You Recommend?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once the dentist has had the chance to examine your smile as it currently is and ask about your smile goals, they should be able to put together a treatment plan. This plan can consist of procedures to correct chipped, cracked, discolored, and misshapen teeth in a way that results in a flawless, yet natural-looking smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I See Before and After Photos of Your Past Smile Makeovers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may feel silly inquiring about their past cases, but there is nothing wrong about asking to see examples of your dentist\u2019s work. In fact, they should be proud to show off previous smile makeovers! They can describe the procedures they did to correct these patients\u2019 teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing how they transformed others\u2019 smiles can help you better envision your own makeover and give you reassurance that you\u2019re working with the right dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Will My Smile Makeover Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you start any treatment, you should have realistic expectations. If you go into teeth whitening expecting it to last a decade, you will be disappointed in about two to three years when discoloration starts to come back. On the other hand, knowing that your veneers can last up to 15 years or even longer, you can move forward confident in what you\u2019re getting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that an important factor in determining the lifespan of a smile makeover depends on you. You will need to brush and floss your teeth daily to keep bacteria well under control, visit your dentist regularly, and follow any other instructions they give you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Will My Smile Makeover Take to Complete?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Especially if you have a wedding, class reunion, or other special event coming up, the timing of your treatment matters. Each smile makeover is customized and can involve various procedures, which means your plan timeline will differ from someone else\u2019s. By asking this question at your consultation, you can get a clearer idea of how long it will take to make your dream smile a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you ask these and any other questions, your dentist should be happy to discuss your concerns openly and honestly. By the end of your consultation, you can feel confident about moving forward with your smile makeover!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
