How long will an extreme makeover take?

Your Arizona smile makeover can take anywhere from 2 sessions to 4 or more, depending on the treatments needed. Combining treatments, however, will save you time in the long run compared to having separate treatments performed. During your complimentary consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your smile makeover goals and the expected time frame with Dr. Lachot or Dr. Loo.

Which treatments will I need?

Specific treatments will vary by patient as the smile makeover is fully customized. Depending on how you would like your final smile to look, Dr. Lachot or Dr. Loo will let you know which treatments can best help you achieve that look. Smile makeovers can include porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns and bonding, dental implants, tooth whitening, laser gum treatment, and more. Set up your complimentary consultation today to discuss your treatment options.

How can I make my smile makeover results last?

After your smile makeover is complete, great home care is a must. Follow brushing and flossing schedules carefully, and to keep your teeth and gums looking good and functioning well, avoid staining foods or drinks and especially avoid sugary snacks. Also avoid foods like hard candy or peanut brittle that could damage enamel or restorations. And keep on target with your semi-annual visits to Dr. Lachot or Dr. Loo to ensure your smile makeover is in good condition.

Am I a candidate for smile makeover?

Most anyone who wishes to change their smile is a good candidate for smile makeover. However, we do request that your teeth and gums are in a healthy condition before we approve cosmetic changes. If you are experiencing decay or bite problems, we will ask that you seek treatment for any potential dental health issues before getting your smile makeover.

A good dental makeover candidate is anyone with healthy teeth and gums who wishes to:

• Straighten crooked teeth,
• Whiten discolored teeth,
• Cover chipped or cracked teeth,
• Fill in gaps
• Minimize gums
• Alter the size or shape of teeth

Is a smile makeover expensive?

At the Scottsdale office of Dr. Lachot and Dr. Loo, we believe in making dental enhancements affordable to all our patients. You should view a smile makeover as a personal investment - when your smile looks better, you feel better and have improved self-confidence. While this benefit is priceless, we strive to keep our treatments affordable while offering a variety of payment options. We also offer financing for qualified patients to help defer costs.
