A Smile Makeovers (also known as Full Smile Designs) is a unique procedure that is different for each patient based on their individual needs. The intents of a Full Smile Design intends to restore the smile a patient dreams of and ensures that they have the confidence they need to take life head-on moving forward. The actual procedure can include a variety of different procedures based on the individual needs of the patient we are treating.

Who Is a Candidate For a Full Smile Design?

Most patients are a candidate for this procedure. Full Smile Design can help alleviate the following issues that we notice patients experience throughout their lives:

  • Worn Teeth: Teeth that have lost their enamel and look worn make many people's faces age prematurely. People will also notice that they are more sensitive to hot and cold sensations when they hit their teeth. Lumineers will help provide a protective layer around worn teeth, brighten the smile, and allow the patient to enjoy food/drink without the unpleasant sensations continuing.
  • Cracked/Chipped Teeth: Teeth that are cracked or chipped in different places give the feel of an uneven smile. Teeth that get cracked/chipped are also prone to further damage much more easily than teeth that are whole Porcelain crowns can get used to help even out teeth with more severe chips or cracks when veneers will not solve the problem.
  • Stained Teeth: Stained teeth that are yellow or brownish are often a real confidence zapper. To brighten a dull, stained set of teeth, either dental bonding, whitening treatments, or lumineers can do the trick depending on the severity of the stains your teeth show.
  • Missing Teeth: If you are missing teeth, dental implants, crowns, or partials are a great way to replace those teeth with quality, long-term, permanent replacement that can restore your smile (and your confidence).

All of these procedures can stand alone or combine to make a Full Smile Design that fits your individual needs. No two procedures will look the same, and they don't have to! It's all about finding a procedure that meets your needs and restores your smile and confidence.

How Much Does a Full Smile Design Cost?

A Full Smile Design's price can vary greatly based on the procedures that each patient requires. The average Full Smile Design cost about $900 to $2500 a tooth for any veneers or lumineers, and for a complete dental bonding, you can expect to pay $250 to $1500 per tooth.

Following your dentist's recommendations for the care of your teeth after your Full Smile Design will help maximize your investment.

Recovery/Healing Process:

Most procedures such as getting veneers or lumineers or even a dental bonding will require little downtime. They are outpatient procedures, and most patients are able to return to their daily activities on the same day or the next day. Ask your dentist about your specific procedure and what downtime you may experience (if any).
