Plan the stages before choosing treatment
- Discuss goals and assess teeth, gums and bite.
- Address oral-health needs and compare suitable alternatives.
- Agree on the sequence of any alignment, whitening or restorative work.
- Check comfort, appearance and bite, then plan maintenance and review.
Visits and long-term care
The number of visits depends on the procedures chosen and any lab or healing stages. There is no standard completion time. Ask which steps can wait, what needs review and what happens if your plans change.
Whitening may cause sensitivity, veneers may involve irreversible preparation, and aligners need ongoing wear and monitoring. Maintenance differs by treatment; ask for instructions for your actual plan rather than treating a makeover as permanent, maintenance-free care.
Start with what you want to change
Dr. Feril Mehta can assess your teeth, gums and bite, and discuss the look you have in mind. A 3D smile scan is part of the consultation. A digital simulation may be used to discuss possibilities, not to promise a final result.
Choose the right scope together
Depending on your assessment, the discussion might include alignment, whitening or restorative options, or simply a plan to maintain what is healthy. You can ask about the steps, upkeep and limits of each option before choosing anything.
Questions to ask
Will I need several procedures?
Not necessarily. A plan depends on your starting point and goals; no procedure is decided before an assessment.
Can I see a proposed change first?
For a smile makeover, a digital simulation can help with the conversation. It is a planning aid, not a guarantee.
