What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is a treatment plan that combines several cosmetic dentistry procedures to restore, improve, or transform your smile. Because each person’s smile is unique, your dentist will customize smile makeover procedures to meet your needs. The right combination of treatments can transform any smile and give anyone a reason to smile. From teeth colour, shape, size, shade, facial structure, and more, your smile makeover will streamline all attributes to improve overall aesthetics. Factors that undermine your smile will determine the treatments and cosmetic dental procedures to include in your makeover. 

Which dental treatments are included in smile makeovers? 

Innovative clinics like Toronto Smile Design leverage Digital Smile Design (DSD) to plan smile transformation from start to finish. DSD enhances predictability and delivers the desired outcome. Your Toronto cosmetic dentist can create a customized makeover procedure to reshape, whiten, and resize your teeth. So, what is included in a smile makeover?

​

Teeth whitening. If stained or discoloured teeth undermine your smile, your dentist will include teeth whitening in your smile makeover. This treatment will give you the confidence to smile and show off your pearly whites more often. 

​

Porcelain veneers. These thin, tooth-shaped shells are placed on front teeth to cover up visible flaws like chips. Porcelain veneers can also address discoloured spots to give you a brighter smile. Have you ever wondered how celebrities get perfect teeth? Celebs like Julia Roberts have the best Hollywood smile, thanks to porcelain veneers. 

​

Ceramic crowns. Like porcelain veneers, dental crowns also cover defects on the tooth’s surface. These tooth-shaped caps cover the entire tooth, not just the front. Porcelain crowns can address discolouration and give you pearly white teeth in a few hours. Can porcelain crowns fix really bad teeth? Yes, they can! This type of crown can fix badly stained, discoloured, or chipped teeth.  

Dental implants. These replacement teeth are fused to the jaw bone. If you're missing one or several teeth, dental implants can restore function and aesthetics. Implant crowns made from porcelain mimic natural teeth and ideal for tooth replacement. 

​

Your cosmetic dentist in Toronto can recommend removable dentures to replace missing teeth if you’re not a good candidate for dental implants. Smile transformation goes beyond your teeth to include other cosmetic procedures like aesthetic lip repositioning and laser gum contouring.

How much is a smile makeover?

The cost of smile makeovers varies depending on the treatments and procedures. Tooth whitening costs $500-$1,000, while the cost of dental crowns and porcelain veneers in Toronto ranges from $1000 to $2,500 per tooth. Dental implants cost more than other cosmetic dentistry procedures. So, how much does a good smile cost? Multiply the cost of each procedure by the number of teeth. If you need four porcelain veneers on your front teeth, it can cost you between $4000 and $8000. Then, include the fees for additional dental care services like consultations, examinations, and follow-ups. If you’re getting an implant several months after tooth loss, you may need a bone graft before the implantation. Dental care procedures like root canals and teeth removal can also increase the cost. Add up the cost of each treatment and service to attain the cumulative price of your smile makeover. But you cannot put a price tag on your priceless smile, right? 

How long does a smile makeover last?

Cosmetic dentistry procedures included in your treatment plan will determine the lifespan of your smile makeover. Your Toronto cosmetic dentist will use permanent crowns because they last longer than temporary crowns. Specific types of crowns and veneers offer a longer lifespan than others. But are veneers permanent? Well, it depends on the type of veneers. The best ceramic veneers in Toronto are made from porcelain and last about 10 years. You can increase their lifespan to 15 years with proper aftercare and oral hygiene. But some dentists use dental crowns and veneers made from resin that fades within a few months and has a shorter lifespan. 

How do I get a new smile? 

Smile makeover procedures involve several steps, from consultation to smile design, implementation, and follow-ups. And each step requires precision from start to finish. To get a brand new smile, choose the right cosmetic dentist in Toronto for your smile makeover. Toronto Smile Design’s Dr. Johnson leverages DSD to create a custom treatment plan and design your new smile using advanced cosmetic dentistry solutions. You can “test drive” your mock-up smile before making the final decision. This innovative smile makeover procedure gives you a brand new smile and guarantees your satisfaction from the get-go.

How long does it take to get a perfect smile? 

When it comes to restoring smiles, there is no one-fits-all procedure. Cosmetic imperfections in your smile will determine the timeline for your smile makeover procedure. If you only need one or two porcelain veneers, you’ll get your perfect smile in less than a month. However, complex smile designs involving dental implants can last several months. Unlike simple crown procedures, dental implantation has two phases and a 4-7 months waiting period for osseointegration to occur. Your smile transformation can also take longer if you need a bone graft before implantation.  

How can I improve my teeth smile?

So many factors influence your teeth' smile, from physical aspects like shape and size to visual attributes such as colour and shade. Emotional aspects like how your lips curl when you smile also influence smile aesthetics. Do you know why Julia Roberts’ smile is so famous? Her cosmetic dentist delivered the perfect porcelain veneer, striking a balance in shape, size, colour, and shade. So, how do you get perfect teeth? You can rely on veneer procedures and porcelain crowns to correct misshapen teeth. The best dental crowns and veneers in Toronto can reshape your teeth and improve smile aesthetics. They also cover up visible defects on the tooth's surface, like chips and cracks. To perfect your smile, get Toronto Smile Design’s smile makeover. It combines DSD with teeth whitening, dental crowns, implants, and porcelain veneers to deliver smile perfection. This smile transformation will give you a Hollywood smile, like Julia Roberts’ world-famous smile.
