Procedures combined in a smile makeover treatment

Teeth whitening in office:

There are a number of teeth whitening options out there.

An in-office teeth whitening procedure is performed at the dental facility.

The treatment involves the use of a hydrogen peroxide-based gel, carefully applied to the teeth for approximately 15-30 minutes.

The number of gel applications depends on the degree of each patient.
In some cases, a specialized light is also applied to enhance the whitening process.

At Sani Dental Group, we use the latest whitening technology that provides enamel protection and reduces sensitivity to deliver an easy and safe procedure.

Porcelain Veneers:

Custom formed porcelain shells designed to cover the front surface of the damaged teeth, used to address different dental concerns including discolored, chipped, misaligned, or broken teeth.

Besides fixing all of these dental concerns, porcelain veneers also provide more secure and lasting results.

At Sani Dental Group, each veneer is customized to the individual's tooth to provide stunning natural-looking results. Veneer's dental are typically done in four full days, so a second visit after the initial consultation would be likely required.

Dental bridges:

A great option to replace missing teeth. It is accompanied by three connected dental crowns on either side of the gap. They are usually made of porcelain fused to metal or ceramics resulting in a strong reliable new set of teeth.

This solution requires at least two visits. During the first visit, the mold is prepared. The patient will receive a temporary bridge to wear while the final bridge is being made.

On the second visit, the custom-made bridge will be placed and adjust to achieve a proper fit.

Gum Contouring:

This procedure can correct and change the shape of your gums. Some patients feel like their teeth appear too short or that their gum line is not symmetrical. The dentist can remove or cut away excessive gum tissue to restore the appearance of your smile.

The technique and how long will the procedure take depends on how much gum tissue is being reshaped.

Dental Implants

One of the best solutions to replace one or more missing teeth. After the procedure, implants will provide strength and stability as natural teeth. Plus, they will also function and look like natural ones. No one will know the difference!

After a complete dental evaluation with the dentist, it is possible to determine if you are a good candidate to receive implants. If so, then the dentist will advise how long and how many appointments will it take.

Dental Bonding

The first step is to select a shade of resin to match the tooth, then the dentist will prepare the tooth for the bonding material to stick easily to the tooth. The composite resin will be applied and shape.

The material is hardened using high-intensity light. At the end of the procedure, the tooth will feel and look smooth.

Cost of your smile makeover

Each smile transformation is personalized to meet every person's unique concerns and needs. For this reason, the cost varies depending on each individual case.

Since it is a procedure that involves several treatments, many believe that the cost will be very high. This is common in countries where obtaining dental care is a luxury.

As shown in the table below, in countries such as the United States and Canada, receiving dental care is very expensive, plus cosmetic procedures do not normally fall under dental insurance or financing.
