Smile Makeover – Gorham, ME
Jaw-Dropping, Comprehensive Smile Transformations
First impressions make a difference. We are taught from a young age not to judge people based on their outward appearance, but this is a natural habit that is hard to break. A study by the American Academy of Periodontology found that 94% of people say that when they meet someone for the first time, one of the first things they notice is the person’s smile. What first impression is your smile leaving with people? If you want to improve your first impression, we recommend starting the process by scheduling a consultation with our masterful team at Morgan-Hill Dental Care.

Our team looks at the full picture, which includes everything you’d like to enhance or repair with your smile, and develops a plan to get you to your final goal.

Understanding the Cost of Smile Makeovers
The cost of smile makeovers in Gorham is dependent on what and how many treatments are included in your plan. For example, if you only want to address a couple of imperfections, like chips and discoloration, your treatment may be less expensive than someone looking to replace missing teeth and make their smile appear less gummy. Our team will provide you with a detailed cost estimate and go over all of your payment options so you know what to expect.
Smile Makeover FAQs
Are you curious if transforming your smile will hurt? Do you want to learn more about the longevity of your results? Would you like to know how many treatments you can include in a smile makeover? If so, you’re in the right place! Below, you’ll find the answers to FAQs about smile makeovers.
Does a Smile Makeover Hurt?
Patients are always curious if they should expect any discomfort during the treatment process. The short answer is “no!” Some services, like dental bonding, are so painless that we don’t even have to numb the area. As for more extensive smile-enhancing options, like veneers, you can rest assured that we will go the extra mile to prevent any soreness. That starts with numbing the area of your mouth that we will be working on and extends to giving you helpful tips on how to stay comfortable during the healing period.
How Many Treatments Can You Include in a Smile Makeover?
If you’re interested in improving the position of your teeth and the alignment of your bite with Invisalign, then that may be all that’s needed to transform your grin. If, on the other hand, you want to replace missing teeth, fix a few cracks, remove stubborn stains, and address fine lines, your treatment plan may include dental implants, dental crowns, teeth whitening, veneers, and BOTOX®. In other words, your smile makeover can include as little as one and as many as 6+ – it really depends on your specific dental needs and aesthetic goals!
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
The longevity of your results depends largely on the treatments you get. For example, teeth whitening usually lasts for three to six months. Conversely, veneers can last for 20 years. That’s why it’s so important that you consider both the upfront price and the average lifespan of the results. Even if a certain treatment seems expensive upfront, it has the potential to be the best choice for your wallet.
How Do You Maintain Smile Makeover Results?
The best way to maintain your smile makeover results is to prioritize preventive care, which includes brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash consistently. Additionally, you should come in for a checkup and cleaning twice a year, wear a mouthguard when playing sports, and avoid unhealthy dental habits entirely (i.e., smoking, chewing on ice cubes, biting your nails). Lastly, don’t underestimate the impact your diet has. If you consume foods and drinks with added sugar in excess, then you’re significantly more likely to experience problems stemming from tooth decay and gum disease. So, focus on eating smile-friendly foods instead, like lean protein, fresh fruits, and cooked vegetables.
Can You Undergo Multiple Procedures During One Appointment?
Again, the answer depends on which procedures are included in your treatment plan. Dental implants require a lot of care and attention, so it’s likely that the other smile-enhancing services you’re interested in will be completed after you’re done healing. With that said, there are some cases where several treatments can be completed in a single appointment, like teeth whitening and dental bonding.
