How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
If you’re ready to transform your smile, your first step is a consultation with your cosmetic dentist. They’ll learn more about your concerns and goals. Your dentist will examine your mouth and review diagnostic images to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. You must have good dental health to be a candidate for any elective services. It’s not uncommon to require a little prep work, like gum disease treatment or fillings. Some procedures used for a smile makeover also offer restorative benefits to treat many issues at once.
Your cosmetic dentist will create your treatment plan, which can take more than 1 appointment to complete, depending on your needs. They will discuss your timeline during your consultation and what you can expect on the road ahead.
The Benefits of Getting a Smile Makeover
There’s power in a beautiful smile. Researchers have found that an attractive smile is attributed to youth, success, and confidence, which are important qualities.

Smile Makeover FAQs
How Many Treatments Can You Include in a Smile Makeover?
Ultimately, you can include as many treatments as you’d like in a smile makeover. For instance, if you want to restore some chipped and broken teeth, you could include a combination of dental crowns and veneers. On the other hand, if you want to brighten up your smile, you may want to get a combination of teeth whitening, dental bonding, and veneers. During your consultation, we will examine your smile and discuss the goals you have. This way, we can put together a custom treatment plan to meet your needs and desires.
Does a Smile Makeover Hurt?
Many patients are hesitant to commit to dental procedures of any kind because they are fearful that they will be painful. At Ambiance Dental Spa, we will do everything we can to make you feel as comfortable as possible in the dental chair. Most cosmetic treatments are non-invasive, so they don’t even require a local anesthetic. If your teeth need to be altered for veneers or crowns, the area will be numbed beforehand. We also offer oral conscious sedation for additional comfort. Some procedures may cause you to experience some soreness for a few days afterward, but this should be mild and temporary.
Do Smile Makeovers Have an Age Limit?
Some smile makeovers can be quite complex, so you may be wondering if there is an age limit. Excluding children, qualifying for a smile makeover has less to do with how old you are and more to do with your oral health. You should be a good candidate as long as you are free of any tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. If you have current problems with your smile, these issues will need to be addressed beforehand. We will discuss this during your consultation.
Is a Smile Makeover Covered by Insurance?
Just like any cosmetic treatment, a smile makeover is considered to be elective, so it isn’t usually covered by insurance. However, there could be some exceptions if a treatment in your makeover also provides oral health benefits. For instance, if you are getting a crown or veneer to build up and protect a damaged tooth, it might receive partial coverage. Some insurance plans will partially cover orthodontic treatment, like Invisalign as well. It is best to reach out to your insurance provider to confirm your coverage beforehand so that you don’t run into any surprises. Our team would also be happy to help you understand your specific plan, file paperwork, and maximize your benefits.
