One of the most exciting parts about undergoing a smile makeover is imagining the results. You imagine flashing a smile that stops people in their tracks. You imagine seeing yourself in the mirror and looking years younger, and happier than you’ve been in some time. Fortunately, through advances in dental technologies, dentists can give you a preview of the changes you can expect to see in your new smile!

Before and after photos are excellent resources for you not only to choose the best dentist available, but to see examples of the results you may expect to see in your own smile makeover. A before and after photo book can enable you to get an excellent idea of what’s in store for your smile, as well as concrete proof that your dentist is skilled and completes quality work.

During a smile makeover, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth to form a plaster model of your existing teeth. That mold can be reshaped to show the changes that will come with your dental makeover.

The very latest technology incorporates digital scans of your teeth to create models of your smile. Imaging technology can give you a very realistic preview of the results of your smile makeover. They can also be used by your dentist to provide instructions to the dental lab.

One final way to preview your new smile is with dental composite bonding. Your dentist can bond composite resin materials temporarily to your teeth so that you may fully visually realize the intended results of the treatment before you begin. For example, you may be fitted with a temporary dental crown, bridge, or veneer. This allows you to make adjustments before committing to a permanent change to your natural teeth. Temporary composite resin mockups can be removed completely and have no lasting impact on your teeth once removed.
