What Is A Smile Makeover?

Throughout your life, you may have experienced accidents, dental problems, and other difficulties that made your smile less than perfect. A smile makeover at Leon Springs Dental Center is a personalized treatment plan of cosmetic and restorative dental procedures that will help improve the look of your teeth — and your overall oral health. A smile makeover might include teeth whitening (at-home or in-office treatments), veneers, orthodontics to straighten your teeth, cosmetic bonding, and replacing old metal fillings with composite resin. Your smile makeover could also include restorative procedures, like bridges or crowns, to correct a missing tooth or teeth. If you want to know more about improving your smile so that it’s beautiful and healthy, schedule a consultation with our team at our San Antonio, TX office to get your customized treatment plan.

Who Is A Good Candidate for A Smile Makeover?

We will help you plan your appointment(s) to complete each one of the steps in your makeover. Local anesthesia may be used during a few of your procedures; however, other sedation choices may be suggested if you need help relaxing due to dental fears or anxieties. Throughout your smile makeover, our experienced dental professionals will be accessible to answer any questions or help you feel more comfortable.

Every smile makeover is personalized, and we’ll walk you through what to expect at each step of your treatment plan, including how many visits may be needed.

What Should I Expect after A Smile Makeover?

Once your smile makeover is complete, it’s important to maintain the health and appearance of your teeth with consistent at-home oral care, including daily brushing and flossing. In addition to your routine at home, we recommend scheduling regular dental exams and professional cleanings at Leon Springs Dental Center so we can monitor your oral health. With proper care, the results of your smile makeover can last for many years. To keep your smile looking bright, you may benefit from occasional touch-up treatments, such as teeth whitening. Restorations and veneers may eventually need to be repaired or replaced, and we’ll discuss those options with you during your visits.
