Either way, the objective of a Smile Makeover is to give your smile a whole new look by correcting numerous dental problems with a customized, comprehensive procedure that can help you meet your goals!
The Smile Makeover Process
In a consultation with Dr. Wu, he will first examine your teeth, gums, and facial structure. After a careful assessment, he will review which dental treatments can best suit your needs. Then, he will create a custom treatment plan to address all of your concerns. Here are a few of the more popular options that can be included in a Smile Makeover:
- Porcelain Veneers
If your teeth are affected by chips, gaps, cracks, and/or stains, a porcelain veneer treatment could be an optimal solution. Porcelain veneers can typically be created in our office with CEREC® milling technology, ensuring a precise fit and feel. Made of durable, long-lasting material, each veneer is custom-created to fit over your tooth, offering a natural appearance.
- Teeth Whitening
At Sutra Dental Spa, we offer a variety of teeth whitening options for our patients wishing to correct discoloration and brighten their teeth. Two of our in-office treatments include the KöR® Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System and Zoom!® teeth whitening. Take-home whitening trays are also available from Dr. Wu and can be an excellent option for patients who wish to whiten their teeth on their own schedule.
- Dental Implants
Our restorative dental implants can be an excellent choice for patients who are missing teeth. Each custom-designed implant is made to function, feel, and look like a real tooth. Dental implants can become a permanent part of your mouth, unlike traditional dentures, and can enhance the look of your smile with beautiful results.
- Invisalign®
Invisalign® can be a great option for helping patients correct misaligned or crooked teeth. These clear aligners, made of durable plastic resin, are customized for the best possible fit and the most optimal results. For many patients, they can serve as an alternative to traditional metal braces. They offer discreet treatment that requires no painful tightening or metal wiring. Optimal results with Invisalign® can often be achieved in less time than with metal braces.
Once you have chosen your Smile Makeover options during the initial consultation, Dr. Wu will talk more with you about how the treatments will be combined and performed. For patients who suffer from dental anxiety, we offer advanced sedation dentistry options such as oral conscious sedation to help you relax during your visit with us. Dr. Wu can talk with you about incorporating sedation dentistry techniques into your overall treatment plan.
Cost of a Smile Makeover
Many patients visit our office wanting to correct more than one dental imperfection. As each of our treatment plans are custom-tailored to a patient’s individual needs, the overall price of the Smile Makeover will vary from person to person. Some factors that can affect the overall cost of the treatment include the specific procedures utilized, the number of procedures involved, the time necessary for our dentist to complete the Smile Makeover, and others. Once Dr. Wu has created your personal treatment plan, a member of our dental team will come up with an overall cost estimate. We can answer any questions you may have about the total price and explore any insurance benefits that may be available. We can also talk with you about dental financing options and payment methods that can help make the treatment as financially convenient as possible.
