If you need more than one cosmetic dentistry<\/a> treatment to get your smile looking and feeling exactly how you want it, you may be wondering how long it will take to get the results you desire. Known as a smile makeover, your dentist can customize a series of procedures to correct all the imperfections preventing you from having the gorgeous, glowing grin you\u2019ve been dreaming of. Here\u2019s a closer look at some of the treatments you can include in your smile makeover<\/a>, and how quickly you can expect each one to transform your teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Often referred to as \u201cinstant orthodontics,\u201d veneers<\/a> are thin porcelain shells that fit over the teeth to improve their size, shape, spacing and color. The entire treatment can be completed in about two visits to the dentist, but because your prosthetics must be custom made for you at a dental lab, it could take about two weeks in total before your smile is transformed. Still, when you consider all the things these dynamic restorations can correct, this wait is no time at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal-Free Dental Restorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you currently have older metal restorations like crowns or fillings, even if they still work well, they may not be projecting the image you\u2019re hoping for. After all, those dark spots in your smile can make you look older, not to mention obvious you\u2019ve had oral health problems in the past. The good news is that replacing them with metal free dental restorations<\/a> is a fast and easy way to get a healthier, more gorgeous grin. As far as time is concerned, tooth-colored fillings can be applied in one visit to your dentist, while larger restorations like dental crowns could require two visits spaced about two weeks apart while your new prosthetic is crafted at a dental lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct Cosmetic Tooth Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on how much you need, direct cosmetic tooth bonding<\/a> can be done on one visit to your dentist. In fact, repairing one tooth can be done in less than an hour, and in some cases less than 30 minutes, while the results can last for five or more years with proper care!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although it can take many years for stains to accumulate on your teeth and cause them to become discolored, Zoom! Whitening<\/a> treatment from your dentist can remove up to eight shades from your smile in about an hour! Not only that, but the results are permanent, and if you avoid darkly pigmented foods and beverages and bad oral habits like smoking, they will maintain their new shade for as long as possible. In the meantime, to keep them looking their best, you\u2019re welcome to visit your dentist for touch-ups every six months as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign<\/a> is the longest treatment you can include in your smile makeover, but the results are permanent, and as long as you wear your retainer after it concludes, you shouldn\u2019t need to redo it. However, please be aware that the exact length of orthodontic care depends on the severity of your alignment issues. In many cases, Invisalign can be completed in just 18 months, but some patients may need a little more or less time to get the results they desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know all the transformative treatments you can include in your smile makeover, it\u2019s important to understand that all times will vary, but your dentist knows you likely don\u2019t want to wait long to get your new look underway. In fact, in most cases they will try to perform multiple procedures at once or schedule them in a way that makes the most efficient use of your time and budget. So, don\u2019t let another important moment pass you by! Schedule a consultation for a smile makeover today and get the gorgeous, glowing grin you\u2019ve always wanted faster than you ever thought possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
