Q

A New Look at Any Age

A

You may think that a smile makeover is just for teenagers or young adults. In fact, a smile makeover can make a huge difference in the quality of life for middle-aged adults and seniors too. Consider, for example, the many different kinds of braces now available, all of which are invisible or difficult to notice:

Clear braces come in a variety of styles and types, from popular brands that offer ceramic braces to braces that are placed on the back of your teeth to aligners that are clear.
Invisalign, one common brand of invisible braces, are ideal for adults who want straighter teeth. Invisalign retainers can mean the difference between a mouth full of metal and adult braces that no but you needs to even know you have.
Lingual braces up your smile makeover cost a little, but they’re another form of invisible braces that are placed on the back of your teeth, instead of being more noticeable right up front. Lingual braces also are ideal if you play a wind instrument as they’re easier for you to adjust to and still keep playing.

Other Smile Makeover Options

A

Hardly anyone is born with perfect teeth — and that may not even be your final goal. But improving your smile with basic dental and cosmetic procedures can give you back your confidence. Everyone has different goals and needs, so look for a dentist who listens and offers you choices. At Broadway Family Dental, your goals and budget come first.

Some of the other options you may consider for a complete smile makeover may include:

Bone graft surgery to build up your jaw after extensive tooth loss
Implants to fill in for lost teeth without having to wear dentures — and implants are indistinguishable from your natural teeth
Veneers, ideal for covering pocked or discolored teeth that don’t respond well to teeth whitening
Lumineers a brand of veneers that are great for filling in small gaps and covering up stains and chips

Q

Smile Makeover Costs and Expectations

A

Your complete smile makeover costs are totally dependent on the amount of work you have done. Your costs can range from a couple hundred to thousands of dollars. But the investment can really pay off if you land an important job that requires an impeccable presentation.

You and your family also can save thousands more and countless painful times when you invest in a smile makeover now instead of waiting until you have to spend the money just to save your teeth or keep your jaw from painful procedures. Talk to your dentist about your goals and your resources before you make a decision on what you need and whether you can afford the smile makeover cost.
