Full Smile Makeovers
A full smile makeover typically takes 2 to 6 months to complete, depending on the specific treatments involved and your individual goals. The process is generally faster than full mouth reconstruction because it focuses primarily on the visible teeth rather than addressing underlying structural issues.
Factors Affecting Treatment Timeline
The duration depends on which cosmetic procedures you choose. Porcelain veneers might require 3–4 weeks from start to finish, while combining multiple treatments like professional whitening, veneers, and gum contouring could extend the timeline to several months. CEREC same-day crowns can often be completed in a single visit.
Typical Smile Makeover Phases
- Phase 1: Comprehensive evaluation and smile design (1–2 weeks)
- Phase 2: Any necessary preparatory work, like gum treatment (2–4 weeks)
- Phase 3: Primary cosmetic treatments like veneers or crowns (2–6 weeks)
- Phase 4: Final refinements and adjustments (1–2 weeks)
