In the movies, a makeover scene fully transforms a character. Not only does their outward appearance change, but usually their demeanor changes as well! Nerds become cool and shy people become confident, reflecting the changes made to their appearance. In the real world, a smile makeover works similarly. By enhancing the appearance of your smile, we can actually boost your confidence and change how you feel about yourself! In Sterling Heights, MI, we use cosmetic dental treatments to improve your smile. These are safe and effective procedures that focus on enhancing the shape, size, color, and alignment of your teeth. To learn more about your smile makeover options, book a free consultation with St. Apollonia Dental today.
What a Smile Makeover Includes
St. Apollonia Dental offers a wide range of cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of your smile. However, these treatments require your teeth to be healthy beforehand.
During your free consultation with us, we will assess your oral health and address any underlying issues affecting your teeth. Any issues with gum disease, root canal infections, and tooth decay will all need treatment before beginning your cosmetic care.
Then, once your teeth are healthy, we’ll build a custom treatment plan for you. Depending on your needs, your smile makeover may include:
- Dental bonding: For smaller issues like minor cracks or chips, dental bonding helps restore your teeth. We apply this tooth-colored resin directly to the tooth, concealing any imperfections, and harden it with a curing light.
Teeth whitening: If stubborn stains or discoloration are affecting your tooth’s color, we offer professional-grade teeth whitening to brighten your smile! With both in-office whitening and custom take-home trays, you can lighten your smile by several shades.- Dental veneers: For larger cracks or chips, and minor misalignments, dental veneers help revitalize your smile! These thin shells of porcelain are customizable, allowing you to fully design the shape, size, and color of each tooth.
- Dental crowns: Typically, a dental crown helps restore a damaged tooth by covering it and protecting it from infection. But at our office, we use tooth-colored crowns that both reinforce your tooth and keep your smile beautiful and natural-looking.
- Dental implants: Missing teeth can cause embarrassment for patients, as well as difficulty chewing. But with dental implants to replace missing teeth, we fill these gaps and ensure your smile is whole and aesthetically pleasing.
The Impact of a Smile Transformation
Cosmetic dentistry is about more than just the vain desire to look beautiful.
The way you feel about your smile has a real effect on how you feel about yourself! When you have stained or misaligned teeth, your self-esteem can take a serious hit. And when you feel self-conscious about your smile, you’re much less likely to smile or interact with others.
In many cases, patients who hide their smiles end up avoiding socializing with other people. But without the human connection that a smile brings, they may find themselves becoming lonely or experiencing serious issues like depression.
If you’re struggling with your smile, there’s no need to wait. Book a free consultation with us in Sterling Heights to discuss what a smile makeover can do for you!
By enhancing the look of your smile, we help you smile confidently and live life to the fullest without worrying about your teeth.
Making Your Smile Makeover Affordable
A beautiful smile is all well and good, but how much will it cost?
Unfortunately, most dental insurance plans don’t cover cosmetic procedures. Because dental insurance only covers treatments they consider “medically necessary,” procedures like veneers or teeth whitening typically don’t receive coverage. While some procedures, like dental crowns, may be covered when used for restorative purposes, others, like dental implants, are more difficult to get covered.
The only way to know for sure what your insurance plan will cover is to schedule a free consultation with us. There, we’ll both design your treatment plan and lay out what your insurance may cover. These estimates help you understand the financial impact of your smile makeover and how you can afford it.
If you’re left with out-of-pocket costs, St. Apollonia Dental offers flexible financing to help make your care more affordable! During your appointment, we’ll run a soft credit check to learn if you may be eligible for financing. And through our financing partners, you may be able to find a solution that splits your costs into manageable monthly payments that fit your budget.
