How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
The first step of any smile makeover is to schedule a consultation with one of our cosmetic dentists in Little Rock. We’ll speak with you about any smile goals that you have and conduct a visual examination of your teeth and gums. Based on what changes you’d like to see, we’ll outline a smile makeover treatment plan that will include two or more cosmetic or restorative treatments. We can also offer a wax-up model of your smile so that you can see what your results will look like before you commit to moving forward with your makeover. Some of the procedures that can be a part of your plan include:
- Tooth replacement treatments like dental implants
- Veneers
- Cosmetic bonding
- Dental crowns
- Teeth whitening
- Metal-free restorations
- Gum recontouring
The length of your treatment plan will depend on several factors, including your budget, how many procedures you’d like to move forward with, and whether you have a deadline that you’d like to complete the process.

Understanding the Cost of a Smile Makeover

Smile Makeover FAQs
Do Smile Makeovers Have an Age Limit?
Fortunately, smile makeovers in Little Rock have no age limit. The young and the old (except for toddlers and young tykes) can receive them freely and without worry.
Whether you qualify for a smile makeover has more to do with oral health. As long as you’re free of tooth decay and gum disease, you should be a fine candidate for treatment. A dentist can also treat your pre-existing oral health issues to help you qualify later, so there’s no need to panic.
All in all, the only wrinkle has to do with teeth whitening for teenagers. Most dentists advise that patients wait until they’re 14 before brightening their grins.
Does a Smile Makeover Hurt?
While it involves several procedures, a smile makeover usually doesn’t hurt. Dentists take every step possible to ensure the overall treatment is smooth and pain-free.
For starters, most cosmetic dental options aren’t invasive. They simply enhance your smile by applying bleaching gel, composite resin, and similar substances to your enamel. These materials are non-toxic and don’t cause sensitivity, so a dentist doesn’t often need to numb you for cosmetic work.
Dentists are also careful with invasive cosmetic services. For treatments that alter your tooth structure (crowns, veneers, etc.), they’ll numb your mouth beforehand with an anesthetic. They can also keep you calm with various sedatives, further reducing your potential distress.
How Can a Smile Makeover Change Your Life?
While it might seem shallow, a smile makeover can change your life in substantial ways. The treatment is known to elevate a patient’s long-term quality of life.
One example is how a makeover can improve your oral health. The treatment helps your grin look clean and healthy, so it often motivates better smile care. This change – especially more frequent brushing and flossing – reduces your risk of cavities, gum disease, and similar oral problems.
Similarly, a smile makeover can help you live more cheerfully. Patients often feel more self-assured and stress-free when they know their teeth look terrific. Even better, treatment can prompt you to smile more often – an act that makes your body produce feel-good chemicals called endorphins.
How Do You Maintain Smile Makeover Results?
To be honest, it isn’t hard to maintain smile makeover results. You’d just need to adopt the right habits and practices from now on.
The best maintenance method is to practice good oral hygiene. In other words, twice-daily brushing, once-daily flossing, and frequent mouth rinses will keep your grin gorgeous. Such actions remove plaque from your smile that’d otherwise stain your teeth and inflame your gums.
You’d also do well to attend dental checkups at least twice yearly. After all, these sessions let your dentist diagnose and treat issues that’d threaten your white smile. Going to them would stop potential threats to your grin’s beauty from cropping up.
