If you want to completely transform your dental aesthetics, a smile makeover is certainly a great way to do it! This treatment is more like a bundle of multiple dental cosmetic services, meaning you can pick and choose which enhancements go into your makeover plan. It also means that you’ll have to carefully consider how much time your entire transformation will take.
If you’re wondering how to budget your time for a glow up that involves multiple dental cosmetic treatments, keep reading. You’ll learn more about what to expect!
Average Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment Times
When you’re looking at your calendar to calculate the best way to schedule your smile makeover, you’ll want to have an idea of how long each individual treatment could take. Ultimately, this will depend on your unique needs and goals, but these average timelines can help you make an estimate:
- Porcelain veneers: Two to three weeks
- Metal-free crowns: Two to three weeks
- Dental bonding: One appointment
- At-home teeth whitening: Two weeks
- Invisalign: 12 to 18 months
Doing the Math
For each treatment included in your smile makeover plan, you can more or less add up the average times. For example, if you’re getting at-home teeth whitening and porcelain veneers, your makeover will take roughly four to five weeks to complete.
Now, this calculation doesn’t account for the possibility of your dentist performing multiple treatments in one appointment. This is why you’ll always want to coordinate with your dentist about smile makeover scheduling!
Coordinating with Your Dentist
During your smile makeover consultation, your dentist will examine your mouth and evaluate how much time it will take each treatment to transform your grin. They’ll also talk to you about any upcoming special events you’d like to have pristine teeth for. Depending on your plan, your dentist may even be able to shorten your treatment timetable by applying multiple cosmetics at once.
All that is to say that there are many, many factors that can influence your smile makeover timeline! It’s good to have an idea of how long each individual treatment might take, but the best way to smoothly budget your schedule is to talk it over with your dentist. They’ll help make your dental transformation as convenient as possible!
