Okemos, Lansing, East Lansing MI
Are you tired of smiling in the mirror or seeing yourself in photos only to be fixated on a smile that you perceive as flawed? You’re not alone. Whether you’re unhappy with your teeth because they’re cracked, broken, crooked, or discolored, your confidence and self-esteem are suffering. Fortunately, with the help of our cosmetic dentist in Okemos, Dr. Christine Tenaglia, you can achieve the picture-perfect smile that you’ve always wanted. Need more than one procedure? That’s not uncommon, and it’s why our cosmetic dentist’s office offers complete and customized smile makeovers.
Once you’ve decided you want to improve your smile, the next step is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Tenaglia and our team to ask all the questions you’d like answered about a smile makeover. Today, we’re sharing four questions you should definitely ask your cosmetic dentist before sitting down in the dentist’s chair. Read on for our list!
-
What concerns can a smile makeover address?
A smile makeover can address any number, and any combination, of cosmetic dental concerns; it all depends on what your smile needs. If your teeth have stains or chips or if your smile is asymmetrical or misaligned, our Lansing cosmetic dentist can fix it all. Just like every patient is unique, so is each smile makeover. Each patient will be examined, and our cosmetic dental team will work with the patient to come up with a treatment plan that’s customized for each individual smile.
-
How much time will it take for a new smile?
The time involved in making over a smile depends on the treatments that need to be completed. The process could require multiple trips to our dentist’s office over several weeks or months. One common factor in almost all our makeover patients: the ones with good oral and overall health tend to enjoy better experiences and faster healing than those with poor oral health. Set up a time to meet with our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Christine Tenaglia, to discuss a treatment plan and any necessary time constraints, such as preparing for a wedding on a specific date.
-
Will my smile have a natural appearance?
Dr. Tenaglia uses cutting-edge procedures and the highest-quality materials available to create a highly individualized treatment plan. Our team can ensure you will have a seamless smile with teeth that match in color, shape and size. Our treatments and restorations look and feel entirely natural, whether you’re going for a minor cosmetic enhancement or a more dramatic change.
-
How long will my results last?
Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee how long the effects of a cosmetic procedure will last. For instance, the results of professional teeth whitening can last anywhere from a few months to a few years, largely depending on the oral health care regimen followed after the procedure. On the other hand, dental bonding or porcelain veneers — used to cover flaws on the surfaces of teeth — can last for more than 10 years if properly cared for.
