Reviews
Am I a good candidate for a smile makeover?
A smile makeover can help if you want to improve the appearance of your teeth, or if you need several restorative or cosmetic procedures. Your dental specialist will customize your smile makeover plan to fulfill your concerns and goals, but it may consist of teeth whitening to correct stains and discoloration on your enamel. Other cosmetic treatments that might be part of your plan are veneers or bonding and contouring to improve the shape and length of your teeth and to cover small gaps between your teeth. Dental restorations (crowns and bridges) may be needed to replace a missing tooth or teeth. At SmilesNY, we use custom-made restorations so they blend with your regular teeth for a seamless appearance.
Before you have cosmetic procedures, you will need to be evaluated to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy. If you have any prohibitive oral health problems like a misaligned bite or gum disease, this will need to be addressed first.
What should I expect with a smile makeover?
Every smile makeover is customized, so your dentist will go over what to expect during your treatment plan, including how many appointments you may need. They will help you plan your appointment(s) to complete each one of the procedures of your smile makeover. Local anesthesia may be used during some of the procedures; however, other sedation choices can be included if you require help relaxing due to dental fears or anxieties. Throughout your smile makeover, our team will be accessible to answer any questions you may have.
How do I care for my teeth after a smile makeover?
Once your smile makeover is finished, you should maintain the health and appearance of your teeth with a good home oral care routine (both brushing and flossing every day). In addition to everyday care, you should make appointments for dental exams and cleanings at SmilesNY so we can track your oral health. With appropriate maintenance, the results of your smile makeover should last for many years. Touch-up treatments every few years, like teeth whitening, may help to refresh your results. Veneers and restorations may also need to be repaired or replaced, which can all be discussed during your appointments.
Will my insurance cover a smile makeover?
At your consultation, our team will help develop a smile makeover that fits both your needs and your budget. They can estimate the cost of your treatment plan and explain payment methods we accept, including medical financing. The cosmetic procedures in a smile makeover are typically not covered by insurance, but some restorations might be partially covered. A member of our team will call your insurance provider to determine your precise coverage and out-of-pocket costs.
