How Much is a Teeth Makeover?

Hundreds of thousands of people across the UK are dissatisfied with their dental appearance. The list of cosmetic dental concerns is long and anxiety-inducing for many: from crooked teeth to cavities and misalignments.

A tooth makeover or a “smile makeover”, is an ideal means of addressing such concerns. It is a comprehensive multi-stage process that fixes a host of dental and oral problems while improving the overall appearance of the teeth and mouth.

In this article, we cover what a teeth makeover is, what its benefits are, how much it costs, and points you should keep in mind when opting for the procedure.

What Is a Teeth Makeover Procedure?

A teeth makeover involves several different dental procedures to remove damaged or problematic teeth and to affix more aesthetic crowns in their place. Because a full teeth makeover targets the complete appearance of the mouth, it may include one or more of the following procedures:

• Tooth removal
• Tooth filing or reshaping
• Gum sculpting
• Tooth whitening
• Tooth brightening
• Porcelain veneers
• Dental implants

The patient’s personal aesthetic preference plays a significant role in deciding the extent and outcome of getting a teeth makeover. You can choose to target specific dental imperfections or opt for an all-around smile improvement.

Who Can Benefit From Teeth or Smile Makeovers?

Multiple factors could lead someone to be underconfident in their smile. Some are natural, while others could be caused by injuries, earlier procedures, or prolonged dental trauma. If you suffer from any of these symptoms to a reasonable extent, a teeth makeover can help you alleviate your discomfort:

• Crooked teeth
• Broken or missing teeth
• Chipped teeth corners
• Staining or discoloration
• Asymmetric teeth alignment
• Generally, weak teeth that could give way with age

A bright, confident smile is a big part of your overall presentation, so it’s natural to want the best one. A full-tooth makeover selectively removes and fixes each imperfection, which inhibits you from displaying a wide, confident smile to the world.

Should You Opt For a Teeth Makeover?

The benefits of a teeth makeover are life-changing for most. If you’re unhappy with your dental health and appearance, here are the top reasons to choose the procedure.

Increased functionality

There is a misperception that a teeth makeover procedure is a purely cosmetic dental procedure. However, it also has a significant impact on your teeth and jaw function. For instance, if you suffer from loose or corroded teeth, a teeth makeover can align your teeth properly while giving them the required sharpness. This is crucial to be able to eat and speak comfortably.

Cosmetic benefit

A teeth makeover entails creating a fully personalised smile that is perfect for your face structure, jaw size, teeth size, skin tone, etc. You can truly pamper yourself by giving this integral part of your appearance a glam-up. Choose every aspect of your teeth and gums to look symmetric, proportional, and picture-perfect.

How Does a Full Teeth Makeover Work?

It is a time-consuming and comprehensive process that involves a series of consultations, dental modelling, trials, and refitting. This is necessary to ensure you get the best outcomes possible based on your dream smile.

1. Initial assessment

The first consultation after you decide to go for a full teeth makeover is to determine the condition of your teeth, jaw, and gums. Your dentist will click several photographs and edit the changes you want to see. They will also base this initial simulation on the feasibility of each subprocedure required for the full makeover.

2. 3D smile simulation

Once both you and the expert are on the same page about the final image of your desired smile, the digital model will be transferred to a 3D model. Creating a life-sized prototype is useful to view the modifications from different angles and make further tweaks if necessary.

3. Priming the teeth and fixing temporary crowns

Your dentist and technicians will perform pre-procedure tasks like cleaning, filing, removing teeth, etc. This procedure is to prepare a clean slate to fit the new veneers and crowns.

Then, you will be fitted with a set of temporary veneers so that you “feel” your new smile in action. You get to wear the temporary teeth for a few days and decide if you like the way they look. Your dentist will make any adjustments in the final set if you experience discomfort or dissatisfaction with the temporary set.

4. Fixing the final veneers

When you are fully satisfied with the veneers’ shape, size, and colour, your dentist will prepare the final set. This set of crowns is handcrafted by experts to fit your mouth effortlessly. It has the appearance of perfect natural teeth and will immediately help you get a million-watt smile.

How Much Does a Full Teeth Makeover Cost?

Getting such a long-lasting and minutely detailed procedure done requires an investment of time and money. However, the experience of all our past clients proves that this investment truly pays off in the immense boost in confidence and attractiveness you get from a perfect smile.

We must address each patient’s unique requirements and underlying conditions on a fully customized basis. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for teeth makeovers. Therefore, the cost of the procedure can only be estimated after the initial consultation with your dentist.

Remember that these are the factors that determine the final cost:

• Number of teeth to be extracted, replaced, and enhanced
• The complexity of priming procedures
• Material of the veneers: this can be a dental composite, porcelain, or a mixture of both.
• Number of iterations of the 3D prototype and temporary veneers
• Complications during the fitting
