Smile Makeover Questions
Where Your Smile Begins
Calgary, Alberta
What smile makeover treatments will work best?
Smile makeovers are completely customized, so the smile enhancement steps will be different for each of our patients. The smile makeover treatments you choose will depend on your current tooth and gum characteristics, as well as your idea of the perfect smile. Dr. Cload and his team will do a full evaluation and recommend the procedures that fit well with your needs. You can check out the full list of cosmetic dentistry services to get an idea of what’s available, and then set up your consultation to learn more about the treatments.
Does neuromuscular dentistry play a role in smile design?
Neuromuscular dentistry is the study and application of the principles that cause jaw movement. Dr. Steven Cload and his Calgary cosmetic dentistry team believe that in order to create the most healthy smile, the neuromuscular aspects must be healthy, too. What that means for our patients is that we will ensure a balanced bite is maintained or created during the smile design process. If we feel there are underlying jaw joint issues that should be corrected, we will address those during your one-on-one evaluation. You can find out more about neuromuscular dentistry on our TMJ Questions page.
How long will it take to get a new smile?
Since every smile makeover is unique, we cannot guarantee a treatment timeframe without a thorough dental evaluation first. For some cosmetic dentistry patients, one or two visits may be all that is needed to get a great smile. For others who require more extensive treatments, a few weeks to a few months may be needed. You can start by coming to visit us for a quick consultation. Please contact us today to fit a consultation into your schedule.
Are smile makeovers expensive?
The professionals at Southcentre Dental Clinic in Alberta agree that great dental care is useless if it is not affordable. That’s why we work with patients to help them fit treatments into their current budgets. We also offer a number of ways to pay for your high quality of care, as well as several payment plan options to choose from. Visit our affordable financing section for the details.
Will my smile makeover last a lifetime?
It is possible for cosmetic dentistry treatments to last a long time. The key to keeping your redesigned smile beautiful includes maintaining a healthy home care routine, returning to your Calgary cosmetic dentist for regular checkups, and reporting problems right away.
