A smile makeover is a collection of decisions, not a standardized procedure. Your plan should make sense tooth by tooth.
What to discuss at your appointment
Ask for the minimum suitable plan alongside the comprehensive plan. Compare the added benefit of each optional step. Keep a record of which improvements matter to you in ordinary conversation, not just in a magnified photograph. A conservative plan may still involve several appointments.
Three questions to take with you
- Which steps are essential?
- Which steps are optional?
- Can the work be completed in stages?
Plan your next step
Write down the answers, the proposed appointments, and any information the office needs from you. If the explanation is unclear, ask for a written summary before deciding. Your own goals and the findings of an examination should guide the final choice.
