Smile Makeovers

What Is A Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover is a set of procedures designed to completely restore the appearance of your smile, as well as your oral health. With a smile makeover from the team at Smile Culture Dental, you can get out of pain, eliminate cosmetic problems like stains, and get the smile you’ve always wanted.

Our office is always a judgment-free zone, too. Our goal is to help you reach your smile goals, and to make high-quality dental care feel less intimidating. So don’t wait. If you’re facing complex issues with your smile, get in touch with us to book a consultation at one of our offices in Fairless Hills, Trevose, Huntingdon Valley, Glen Mills, or Trooper. We’re proud to offer convenient locations all throughout Eastern Pennsylvania.

Dental Problems A Smile Makeover Can Fix

At Smile Culture Dental, we offer single-tooth, full arch, and mini dental implants to meet the needs of every patient suffering from damaged or missing teeth.

Cosmetic issues

If you have cosmetic issues with your smile that require more than one treatment, you may need a smile makeover. For example, your dentist at Smile Culture Dental may recommend that you get teeth whitening to brighten your smile, and veneers to cover up chipped or uneven teeth.

Depending on your situation, your smile makeover may also involve treatments to repair damaged teeth, like fillings, crowns, or root canals. Your doctor can also recommend replacements for missing teeth, like dental implants.

While it’s not always necessary, a smile makeover is a good opportunity to improve the alignment of your teeth and jaws. With a treatment like Invisalign, you can get a straighter and healthier smile and improve your appearance, too.

The Smile Makeover Process

Because every patient is different and faces different cosmetic and restorative dentistry challenges, each smile makeover from Smile Culture Dental is different. Generally speaking, though, you can expect your treatment to include the following steps:

Oral Exam And Treatment Planning

The first step is to schedule an in-depth consultation with one of our experienced dentists in Eastern Pennsylvania. At Smile Culture Dental, we’re proud to offer the very best personalized care. After an oral exam and x-ray, you and your dentist will discuss the challenges facing your smile, and work together to develop a customized smile makeover plan that fits your budget, your schedule, and your unique needs.

Restoring Your Oral Health

Once you’ve committed to your plan, the first step will be to address any oral health problems that may be affecting your smile. For example, you may need periodontal care to treat gum disease, fillings to repair cavities, or even dental implants to replace one or more missing teeth. Oral health issues always must be treated before you can enhance your smile with cosmetic dentistry.

Necessary Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment is not always necessary, but may be recommended to some patients as part of a smile makeover. At Smile Culture Dental, we’re a top 1% Invisalign Diamond+ Provider, which means we have the skills, expertise, and technology necessary to straighten your teeth quickly and efficiently, all without the need for traditional metal braces!

Enhancing Your Smile With Cosmetic Dentistry

Once any necessary restorative treatments and/or orthodontic treatments are finished, the final step is to put the finishing touches on your smile. Depending on your situation, your dentist may recommend a variety of cosmetic dentistry treatments like dental bonding, veneers, or teeth whitening. After this final step, your smile makeover is complete, and you can enjoy your brand-new, picture-perfect smile.

Common Treatments In A Smile Makeover

The necessary treatments for a smile makeover will vary depending on the specifics of your case. However, your treatment may involve one or more of the following treatments:

Teeth whitening
Porcelain veneers
Tooth-colored fillings and crowns
Dental implants
Invisalign

Will Dental Insurance Cover My Smile Makeover?
plus icon

The answer is “it depends.” Dental insurance will typically cover the cost of certain restorative treatments like filling and crowns, root canals, and other “medically necessary” procedures. However, it may not cover others, like dental implants.

Dental insurance also usually does not cover the cost of orthodontics like Invisalign, or cosmetic dentistry procedures like veneers or teeth whitening. For more information about what treatments may be covered by your insurance policy, we recommend contacting your insurer directly or checking out your insurance documentation.

How Much Does A Smile Makeover Cost?

Because each smile makeover is custom-tailored to each patient’s specific needs, this is a difficult question to answer. The best way to find out how much your smile makeover will cost is to schedule a consultation with a dentist at Smile Culture Dental. As part of developing your treatment plan, your dentist can give you a better idea of how much your treatment may cost.

We also never want cost to be a barrier that prevents you from getting a healthy, straight, beautiful smile. That’s why we offer our in-house LifeSmile plan. This alternative to dental insurance covers the cost of preventive care, and can save you as much as 40% on other treatments.

In addition to that, we offer flexible financing for most treatments. By splitting your smile makeover into low monthly payments, it’s easier for you to get the care you need without worrying about your budget.
