Las Vegas Dentists Outline Smile Makeover Timeline

The True Dentistry team details specific smile makeover procedures and potential treatment length.

Las Vegas, NV – For individuals who desire comprehensive dental rejuvenation, a smile makeover may be a viable and popular solution. By combining two or more procedures, whether cosmetic or restorative, a smile makeover can help improve the appearance of a patient’s smile, teeth functionality, and overall oral health.

The Las Vegas dentists at True Dentistry note that common concerns a smile makeover can address are discoloration, chips, an uneven gum line, missing teeth, misalignment, and more. Patients often inquire about how long a smile makeover will take. In most cases, smile makeover length can vary based on a variety of factors, including the chosen procedures, an individual’s dental needs, and personal recovery time.

The doctors note that frequent treatment selections and their timelines include:

• Dental Implants – Dental implants can be a durable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. Treatment typically takes several months, as it involves a surgical procedure, healing period, and placement of the final restoration.
• AOX (All-on-X) Implants – All-on-X full-arch restorations use strategically placed dental implants to secure a fixed set of teeth. This comprehensive approach may be completed in a shorter timeframe than traditional implants, though the recovery process still includes a healing and adjustment period.
• Porcelain Veneers – A popular cosmetic procedure, porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front and side surfaces of a tooth. The entire process is often completed in two to three visits over the span of a few weeks.
• Invisalign^® – An innovative orthodontic option, Invisalign^® uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Treatment is typically completed in 9 to 15 months.
• Laser Gum Therapy – Minimally-invasive laser gum therapy uses advanced laser technology to reshape the gum line, remove excess tissue, and promote healthier gums. It can often be accomplished in one or more visits, with session length generally varying depending on the size of area being treated.
• Dental Crowns – Dental crowns cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their strength, function, and natural appearance. In some cases, the dental crown procedure can be completed in two visits over a couple of weeks.
• Teeth Whitening – In-office and at-home teeth whitening offer different treatment lengths. With professional in-office methods, teeth can often appear whiter in an hour. At-home options may take a few days at minimum to produce whiter results.
• Cosmetic Bonding – Using a tooth-colored resin, cosmetic bonding repairs chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration to enhance the appearance and shape of a tooth. This procedure typically takes one appointment and about 30 minutes per affected tooth.
• Tooth-Colored Fillings – Natural-looking tooth-colored fillings are durable restorations made from composite resin that blend with surrounding teeth, while also repairing cavities or minor damage. This can be a relatively quick procedure that is generally completed in a single visit.

The True Dentistry team reiterates that the timeline of a smile makeover can differ from patient to patient. They encourage individuals considering a smile makeover to thoroughly discuss their dental needs and smile goals during a consultation to better estimate potential treatment length.

In addition to discussing timing, the dentists emphasize that creating a customized treatment plan is essential for achieving natural-looking and long-lasting results. Each smile makeover begins with a detailed evaluation of oral health, facial structure, and aesthetic goals. Digital imaging and advanced diagnostic tools may also be used to preview potential results, helping patients visualize their new smile before treatment even begins.

While some smile makeovers can be completed in just a few weeks, others may require several months if orthodontic treatment or multiple restorative procedures are involved. The dentists at True Dentistry explain that spacing out certain treatments can also enhance comfort and allow for optimal healing, especially when gum contouring or extensive restorative work is needed.
