How Many Visits Will Smile Makeover Procedures Take?
When individuals want to undergo a smile makeover, planning the entire process is necessary. General dentists are the best resource patients can utilize for effective teeth and gum transformation. They will craft an effective, extensive, customized treatment plan for each patient's unique case.
Popular smile makeover procedures
The following information outlines a few of the most common smile makeover procedures, including how many visits may be required and the expected timeline for each.
Dental veneers
Dental veneers are also called porcelain veneers and are one of the most popular smile makeover procedures people choose. Veneers are versatile and often used to address many cosmetic problems, including covering up chips, cracks, and hard-to-remove stains. When it comes to how long veneers will last, patients can expect them to last anywhere from 10 to 25 years.
Individuals can expect to visit their general dentist at least twice when choosing dental veneers as part of the smile makeover process. The first visit requires the dentist to prepare the teeth; the second is when the veneers will be placed on the teeth.
Dental crowns
While dental crowns are available in a few different types of materials, porcelain crowns are a popular option when undergoing a smile makeover, as they are white and very strong. Crowns can be used not only to make teeth look more appealing but also to make teeth stronger, which is important when it comes to a smile makeover. Specific examples of how crowns can improve a smile include making teeth even, closing gaps in-between teeth, and restoring severely chipped or cracked teeth.
Dental crowns usually require individuals to undergo two to three appointments with the general dentist. The dentist prepares the patient's tooth for a crown placement during the first visit. The second visit involves the dentist placing the permanent dental crown over the patient's tooth.
Teeth whitening
Professional in-house teeth whitening treatments allow those who need a whiter, brighter smile to have their teeth whitened by a dental professional. To ensure that the proper shade is chosen, the patient will receive the guidance and direction necessary to ensure that the teeth whitening procedure looks completely natural.
Many people undergo a professional teeth whitening treatment as part of their smile makeover process because of the time it takes. The entire process can take no more than 90 minutes.
Choosing smile makeover treatments
Choosing to get a smile makeover allows one to feel confident in the way they look when smiling. Today's technologies allow anyone to pick and choose the treatments they need to have a pleasant-looking smile. The goals and desires will determine how many visits one will need to complete the smile makeover, with two to three visits being the most common. For someone to know how long their makeover will take, a general dentist will craft a custom treatment plan.
