What is a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover is a unique combination of cosmetic dentistry procedures that are done over a period of time to transform a flawed smile into a perfectly beautiful, white, bright smile that will light up the room.

Some people who come to Artistic Family Dentistry of Silver Spring may only require one or two cosmetic dentistry procedures while others may undergo several procedures to achieve the smile they’ve always wanted. A smile makeover may be achieved in just a couple of visits, while others may require several treatments over a few weeks or months.

Dr. Bikoi and her team will gather a thorough medical history and perform a comprehensive dental evaluation using the most innovative technology in the dental industry today. Those findings will be discussed with you, and you will be able to see for yourself what we’ve discovered. We then tell you how we can deliver a stunning smile.

Before beginning any smile makeover, we have to ensure the health of your mouth, teeth, and gums. That may require extracting decaying or diseased teeth, deep cleaning gums that are inflamed or recessed, or even performing endodontic surgery (root canal treatment). Don’t let this scare you. With so many advances in dental technique and technology, these procedures that, in the past, caused discomfort and sometimes long recovery periods are done much more quickly with less pain and very little downtime.
