Smile designing. Consider here tips the success of the makeover depends on 5 factors which are in the control of the patient. Choose the best cosmetic dentist in Australia.

1. 5 Keys to Smile Makeover Success

2. • Are you unhappy with your smile? Your unhappiness
may lie in the colour, shape and size of your teeth as well
as their alignment so much so that smiling, grinning and
laughing become embarrassing even in the company of
close family and friends. Then, you can benefit from a
smile makeover!
• A partial or total smile designing program involves the
performance of one or several dental procedures to
improve the appearance of your smile. Keep in mind that
these procedures are designed for aesthetic purposes
only, thus, dental health issues like gum disease will
largely be referred to appropriate dentists. The result: A
more beautiful smile to be proud of no matter the
company present.

3. • But like all cosmetic procedures, the success of the makeover
depends on several factors most of which are in the control of
the patient – you, of course. Here are tips in this regard.
• Set Realistic Expectations
• A smile makeover will not make your physical and mental
health issues go away never to return for good. As previously
mentioned, it is a single procedure or collection of procedures
designed to improve the appearance of your smile particularly
your teeth and gums. It is then not a solution for dental health
issues like cavities, cysts, and tumours, among others, far from
it.

4. • The first step toward smile designing success is to set
realistic expectations of the final results for the
procedure. Keep in mind these general results for the
most common makeover procedures:
• Braces like Invisalign can straighten crooked teeth while
fixed orthodontics can move your teeth closer between
gaps
• Cosmetic bonding, porcelain crowns and porcelain
veneers can repair chipped and broken teeth as well as
gaps between teeth

5. • Laser gum contouring can remedy a gummy smile
• Professional teeth whitening will obviously whiten teeth
discoloured by surface stains
• Again, a smile makeover can only do so much for the
appearance of your lips, teeth and gums.

6. • Choose the Best Cosmetic Dentist
• The next important aspect is to choose the best
cosmetic dentist in your area. Keep in mind that
cosmetic dentistry is a specialisation in itself and, thus,
not all dentists will be able to perform the required
procedures with satisfactory results. Dentists with
general practices may be able to deliver on a few
services like professional teeth whitening, installation of
dental bridges, and placement of braces but for most
smile designing procedures, a qualified cosmetic dentist
is your best choice.

7. • Get Appropriate Financing
• Like most cosmetic procedures, a smile makeover is
usually not covered by insurance, either from the
government or from private insurers. This is because the
procedure is not considered an integral part of the
maintenance of good health except where the
individual-cum-patient deems it essential for his/her
good health.
• As such, you have to find appropriate financing for the
procedure so that it can go as smoothly as planned. Your
cosmetic dentist will appreciate full payment when it is
over and done with to your mutual satisfaction.

8. • Choose a Customised Plan
• Each smile makeover is different although the
procedures used are the same for all patients. Your
cosmetic dentist will design a customized makeover plan
according to the condition of your teeth and gums, your
needs in a beautiful smile, and your dental health goals,
among other factors.
• From your customised plan, you and your cosmetic
dentist will discuss important aspects of the procedure –
what are expected before, during and after your
treatment. For example, you may have to take a break
from work in case of dental implants.

9. • Follow Your After-care Plan
• Your cosmetic dentist will also require strict compliance
with your after-care plan. Most dentists will require
avoidance of cigarette products, alcohol and hard food
after certain procedures to lessen, if not eliminate, the
risks for infections, among other post-procedure
complications.
• Most important, you have to take care of your teeth,
gums and mouth after your smile makeover! You will
then be able to extend the lifespan of your veneers,
implants and braces, for example.
