That is what your interior designer friend said to you, grinning, after revealing their newly renovated space. You think it looks great but as you squint to figure out what exactly those details are, you can’t seem to put your finger on a single one.
This is the same feeling your prosthodontist is going for after completing your smile makeover. Unless you are looking to get drastic reconstructive work done to your current smile such as replacing a missing tooth or fixing major gaps, ending up with loud results isn’t exactly desirable.
How Is A Smile Makeover Done?
The nuances of whiter, straighter, longer, or wider teeth are meant to be enhanced so subtly that the final product looks effortlessly natural. Kind of like a refreshing look you get from applying your makeup in a way that looks like you have not put any on. But how is it done?
Imagine telling your dentist over a phone call that you want your teeth to be whiter. Instead of booking you in for a one-on-one to better understand what you’re looking for, they have you immediately come in to fit on some veneers- those things that stick to your teeth for a few decades at a time.
Needless to say, your commitment to veneers or any long-term dental procedure should be as thoroughly explored as your marriage commitment, more or less.
Communicate with Your Dental Provider
Because “natural” doesn’t equal “standard”, there is not a one-size-fits-all solution to your smile-enhancing desires. That’s why the first step to ensuring you’re on the right smile make-over track is to openly express what you’re looking for with your dentist.
With today’s technological advancements in the dentistry field, many tools help foster clearer communication between what you’re looking for as a patient and the potential solutions your dentist can provide.

That conversation with your prosthodontist wasn’t merely a heart-to-heart for the work yet to come. While you were feeling increasingly at ease about your smile makeover, he/she was observing your mannerisms, speech, and smile architecture.
Everything from tooth color to lip symmetry, your prosthodontist was taking mental notes and details of it all – the same ones your interior designer friend considered when recreating that room you loved for some reason.
