Questions About Smile Makeovers

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

How much will my smile makeover cost?

 

This will depend on the procedures that need to be performed. Costs can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousands of dollars. Our treatment coordinator can help you find a financing option that will fit your budget.

 

How long will my smile makeover last?

 

With proper care, wise decision making, and good oral hygiene practices, you can expect your smile makeover to last several years. Some procedures will require occasional upkeep. For example, you will need follow-up tooth whitening treatments in order to maintain your new smile.  

 

What is the difference between a smile makeover and a full mouth reconstruction?

 

The main distinction is this: a smile makeover is an elective process, while a full mouth reconstruction is a necessary process. An individual chooses a smile makeover solely to improve his or her smile, not because it is necessary to maintain good oral health. Full mouth reconstruction patients usually have sustained major dental trauma, severe tooth decay, or have other major dental issues that must be treated in order to restore and maintain good oral health.

 

Will my smile makeover look natural?

 

This is a serious concern and one which we can understand. We have all seen teeth that have been over-bleached and are too white, veneers that are too big, and any number of other fake looking cosmetic dentistry treatments. We believe that a treatment that does not look natural is a failure. Dr. Firouzi has the experience and the artistic eye to make sure your cosmetic dentistry treatments enhance your smile while still looking natural.

 

Can any general dentist perform a smile makeover?

 

No. You should only trust your smile makeover procedures to a trained, experienced, and certified cosmetic dentist. Always be sure to check your dentist’s credentials before allowing him or her to perform any cosmetic dentistry procedure. Please visit our page on choosing a cosmetic dentist for a complete discussion.
