How a Smile Makeover Works, Step by Step
A smile makeover in Durham is planned as one treatment rather than a series of unrelated appointments. That is the difference between a makeover and simply having work done.
1. Consultation and Smile Assessment
Dr. Erfan Imeni looks at the health of your teeth and gums first, then at how your smile sits against your lips and face — tooth shape, length, colour, spacing, and how much shows when you talk and smile. You describe what you would change in your own words. Photographs and digital scans are taken at this visit so the plan is built on your teeth rather than on a stock example.
2. Your Treatment Plan
You are shown which combination of treatments reaches the result you described, what each one involves, and the order they happen in. Some plans use a single treatment; others combine dental veneers, teeth whitening, Invisalign and dental bonding. Where teeth are missing or broken down, restorative work comes first — dental implants or dental bridges rebuild the foundation before anything cosmetic is placed on top of it.
3. A Healthy Foundation First
Cosmetic work only lasts if what sits underneath it is sound. Active decay or gum disease is treated before a makeover begins, through general dentistry such as dental cleanings and exams and, where it is needed, periodontal maintenance.
4. Treatment and Review
Treatment is carried out in the planned order, with review points along the way so you see the result developing rather than waiting until the end to find out. Straightforward plans finish in two or three visits. A full makeover combining orthodontics and veneers runs over several months, because the teeth have to reach their final position before veneers are made.
Frequently Asked Questions About Smile Makeovers in Durham, NC
How much does a smile makeover cost in Durham, NC?
There is no single price, because a smile makeover is a combination of treatments rather than one procedure. What moves the figure is how many teeth are involved, which treatments the plan uses, and whether restorative work is needed first. Purely cosmetic treatment is usually not covered by dental insurance, though restorative parts of a plan often are. You are given a written estimate covering the whole plan before treatment begins, and patient financing is available. Call 919-220-5505 to arrange a consultation.
How long does a smile makeover take?
A plan built around whitening and bonding can be finished in two or three visits. One that includes veneers usually runs four to six weeks, because the veneers are made in a dental laboratory. If the teeth need straightening with Invisalign first, the full plan can take several months — the teeth have to reach their final position before anything is bonded to them.
Will a smile makeover look natural?
That is the reason for planning it as a whole rather than treating one tooth at a time. Shade, shape, length and proportion are chosen against your own face, and you see the plan before it is carried out. If you would prefer a noticeably brighter result, say so at the consultation — it is a decision you make, not one made for you.
Am I a candidate for a smile makeover?
Most adults are, provided the teeth and gums are healthy or can be made healthy first. Untreated decay, active gum disease and heavy grinding are things to address before cosmetic work rather than reasons you cannot have it. The consultation tells you plainly which of these apply to you and what would need to happen first.
