Summary of this video by Dr. Austin Safford

Dr. Safford explains that comprehensive smile makeovers are highly personalized, depending on each patient’s needs and goals. Many patients have worn down or misaligned teeth over the years, sometimes requiring bite training or temporary restorations before full treatment. The process may involve crowns, bridges, implants or other restorative work, and the timeline varies for each patient. He emphasizes that every patient is different, and guiding someone from their original smile to a completely transformed one is his favorite part of the work.

What is a Smile Makeover? Transforming Your Smile at Bonaventure Dental Care

Have you ever wondered, “What is a smile makeover?” A smile makeover is more than just cosmetic tweaks; it’s a transformative journey that restores your confidence and enhances your quality of life. At Bonaventure Dental Care in Baton Rouge, LA, we believe you deserve a smile you’re proud to share. Our approach is not just about improving aesthetics; it’s about bringing joy and self-assurance to our patients’ lives.

Understanding the Smile Makeover Process

A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan designed to address both cosmetic and functional needs of your teeth. Dr. Austin Safford, DDS, emphasizes, “When it comes to comprehensive smile makeovers, I think there’s a lot that goes into it. It depends on what the patient wants, what they need.” Each makeover is tailor-made, focusing on restoring and enhancing your unique smile.

Smile makeovers address a variety of dental issues, including tooth discoloration, misalignment, gaps and wear due to grinding. It could involve replacing missing teeth, correcting a collapsed bite, making space for a replacement or simply creating a new smile.    

Dr. Safford notes, “Patients have ground their teeth down, and everyone does it. Everyone grinds in their sleep.” Long-term grinding can lead to a collapsed bite, which requires careful restoration.

We often hear from patients who have felt embarrassed by their teeth, yet after their makeover, they radiate confidence. “I used to hide my smile. Now, I’m excited to show it off!” said another satisfied patient.

The Steps to a New Smile

When embarking on a smile makeover, we begin with an in-depth consultation at Bonaventure Dental Care. Dr. Safford explains, “Sometimes it takes months of training,” noting that sometimes, patients have ground their teeth down, and sometimes it requires opening the bite, training it. Each step is tailored to ensure optimal comfort and lasting results.

Patients often express their gratitude through testimonials. One patient shared, “I never imagined my smile could look this good. The team at Bonaventure Dental Care listened to my concerns and delivered results beyond my expectations.”

Creating Your Personalized Treatment Plan

Dr. Safford highlights that sometimes preliminary work needs to be done in steps to prepare you for a successful smile makeover. In some cases, temporary restorations are crafted to let you experience the new bite before finalizing the treatments. As Dr. Safford puts it, “Let them wear that for a little while. Okay, how do you like it? How are you feeling? Are you comfortable?” This phased approach allows you to adjust to changes gradually, providing you with a new smile that not only looks great but feels natural.

Whether you need crowns, bridges or implants, we have the resources to rebuild your smile completely. Dr. Safford cheerfully shares, “Taking someone from one place to somewhere completely different is the most fun thing to do in the world.” It’s this passion and commitment to patient satisfaction that sets us apart.
