To learn how we can improve the appearance of your smile, book a free consultation with us in East Longmeadow, MA.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a total redesign of your smile that hides imperfections.
When you’re bothered by the cracks, gaps, and stains on your teeth, it can be difficult to smile confidently. But a smile makeover allows us to cover these issues and redesign your smile with beauty in mind.
However, your natural teeth need to be healthy for a smile makeover to work. Cosmetic procedures require healthy teeth as a foundation, so any gum disease treatment or root canal therapy must be completed first. Then, with your smile in good condition, we will focus on improving its appearance.
During your initial consultation with us, we will discuss what your needs are and develop a custom treatment plan. This plan takes your budget and preferences into account, utilizing our comprehensive list of cosmetic services to complete your dream smile.
Our Cosmetic Procedures in East Longmeadow, MA
At East Longmeadow Family Dental Center, we offer a variety of cosmetic procedures to improve your smile. These procedures include:
- Dental bonding: When a tooth has minor problems, dental bonding may be enough to fix it. We apply tooth-colored composite resin directly over your enamel and smooth it over to make it look more natural. Then, using a curing light, we harden the bonding material to create a more durable solution.
- Porcelain veneers: Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain we use to cover blemishes in your smile. Because veneers cover the entire front of your tooth, they mask bigger issues like overlapping teeth or severe discoloration. Additionally, each veneer is customizable, allowing you to fully design your smile makeover.
- Teeth whitening: If your teeth are stained, teeth whitening may lighten your enamel by several shades. At our office, we create custom trays that perfectly fit your smile to enhance the effects of teeth whitening.
- Dental crowns: If a tooth is damaged or decayed, we may place a dental crown on top instead of extracting it. This tooth-shaped cap protects your vulnerable tooth from infection, while also looking natural in your mouth.
- Dental implants: Missing teeth create gaps in your smile that affect both your appearance and your oral health. With dental implants, we can restore your smile and fill gaps with a replacement tooth! These titanium screws embed in your jaw, where they’ll secure over time to create a strong, healthy, and beautiful smile.
Depending on your needs, we may use a combination of these procedures for your smile makeover.
Your Smile Makeover Process
A smile makeover, like all procedures at East Longmeadow Family Dental Center, begins with a free consultation.
There, we will discuss your needs, assess your smile, and go over pricing. The cost of a smile makeover depends entirely on what procedures you need. Something as simple as teeth whitening will cost much less than a makeover that replaces missing teeth with dental implants.
Unfortunately, insurance doesn’t typically cover cosmetic procedures. While you may have some coverage for restorative treatments like dental crowns, procedures like veneers are usually not covered. To help combat out-of-pocket costs, we offer flexible financing! We collaborate with multiple third-party lenders who help patients split their pricetag into manageable monthly payments.
Once you understand the costs involved and find ways to make your care more affordable, we will start your smile makeover. If you need any restorative treatments before beginning your cosmetic procedures, we will handle those first.
Then we’ll begin addressing the biggest issues affecting your smile. If you have any missing teeth, we will replace them with dental implants. Additionally, if any damaged teeth need dental crowns to restore and protect your smile, we’ll place those, too.
Afterward, we’ll address surface-level issues, like tooth color and shape. Dental veneers and bonding help redesign your smile in just a few quick appointments. And finally, if any natural teeth need a boost, we will whiten them with our custom teeth whitening trays.
The duration of your smile makeover depends entirely on the complexity of your needs. In some cases, these treatments only take a few weeks. In other, more complicated cases, your treatment may take a few months. Everyone’s smile is different, so it all depends on your specific case.
