How does Same Day Smile Makeover work?
During an initial consultation, we’ll cover all available options for improving your teeth before deciding on a treatment. Once a Same-Day Smile Makeover has been confirmed as the right option, we will set a date to complete the transformation in five simple steps:
Step 01
On the day of treatment, we start with a discussion on what the patient would like improved, and the outcomes of the procedure. We’ll then simulate (using tooth coloured materials) the sort of shapes and sizes we are aiming for, followed by photographs that allow us to view those changes and make a judgment call on what works, and what doesn’t.
Step 02
Once an agreement is made on the final tactics, we’ll save a digital record in our CEREC unit so that we have something to compare the work to. This scan is then photo-stitched with the final design scan, so we can position our new crowns and veneers exactly where we mocked them up.
Step 03
The process of shaping your teeth now commences, in order to accept the new dental work. We follow this up with a digital scan, and the digital design of the teeth. Using the mock-up as a guide, the individual teeth are then developed. Because this design process happens chairside, patients can remain engaged in the progress. Alternatively, if the patient would prefer to sit back and watch some TV, go for a walk, or even go home, they can do so until all their new crowns and veneers are finalised (approximately two hours).
Step 04
The new restorations are then closely examined, and tested to confirm shapes, sizing and positions. Once this has is completed, the new porcelain teeth are then glazed with various tints to closely mimic the aesthetics of natural teeth, and allow for a glossy, glass-like surface.
Step 05
Finally, the crowns and veneers are then bonded into place with a strong adhesive, with an expectation they will last for decades, not years.
How much does a Smile Makeover Cost?
The cost of dental restorations can vary significantly per individual – as this depends on the severity of each case. During the consultation, we will walk you through the procedures and potential outcome of the Smile Makeover beforehand, as well as explaining the costs associated with the restorative treatment.
It is difficult to put a set price on a brighter and more confident smile. However, if you wish to seek financial assistance, we offer dental payment plans that can help ease the burden. Check out our SmileFund payment plan or speak to a member of our friendly team for more information.
We will make sure that you are fully aware of all costing, and procedures – before making an informed decision for yourself.
