\"Patient<\/a><\/figure><\/div>

There are a lot of things that can bother people about their smiles. That may come from health concerns, like cracked teeth or receding gums, but you may also want to change your smile for purely aesthetic reasons.<\/p>

If you have quite a few things that you think need to be fixed, your dentist might recommend a full smile makeover, where they blend several cosmetic<\/a> and restorative techniques to create a transformation. If you have a consultation coming up regarding a smile makeover, here are some good questions that you could ask.<\/p>

What Will My Smile Look Like?<\/h2>

The final results of a full smile transformation will be informed by a lot of different factors. Of course, figuring out what you want is the most important part; be honest with your dentist about what you’re concerned about, and they’ll let you know what sort of treatments can address those issues.<\/p>

However, what’s equally (if not more) important is figuring out what your dentist is capable of. Even among good dentists, there are differences in expertise and comfort with certain procedures. You might try asking to see some before\/after pictures of patients that they’ve treated in the past to get a sense of what your provider can do.<\/p>

How Long Will It Last?<\/h2>

Once you see the results that full smile makeover will afford you, you’ll probably want them to last forever. However, every cosmetic dental treatment will only last for a certain amount of time, so it’s good to know what to expect going in.<\/p>

Dentists will blend several techniques in the process of a full smile makeover to get the results that you’re looking for, and your dentist will be able to tell you how long each one is likely to last.<\/p>

How Much Time Will It Take?<\/h2>

The other side of a smile makeover is understanding how much time it will take to complete. Some procedures can be completed within a single appointment—or even a single hour—but if you’re getting several treatments, they will probably have to be spaced out over several trips to the dentist.<\/p>

Making any kind of transformation will require a certain amount of commitment, so it’s smart to know what you’re in for before you begin.<\/p>

Your dentist will be happy to answer any questions you have. You don’t have to limit yourself to the questions listed here; if you have any other ideas of what to ask, feel free to bring them up at your consultation.<\/p>
