Before & After Smile Transformations

The time it takes to get your before and after teeth cosmetic treatment moment will depend on a lot of factors, including: 

• The current state of your teeth
• How much restorative work is required
• The nature of the treatment
• The size of the area being treated
• Your individual responsiveness to treatment
• The time it takes for the mouth to heal

Everyone is different, so the timeline for your treatment will also be different. Some procedures, like teeth whitening or all-on-four treatments, may be completed within one session, while other treatments, like Invisalign, may require more time. 

When you book an appointment to discuss cosmetic treatments with the dentists at About Smiles, our team can walk you through what to expect from a particular treatment, how long the process will take and whether you’ll need to book any downtime for a specific procedure.

When it comes to celebrities getting dramatic before and after teeth cosmetic treatments, the impression we get may not reflect reality. The fact is that celebrity culture presents a lot of amazing before and after moments that may not actually be real — photoshopping gives us a distorted sense of what celebrities look like, and based on when we see the dramatic impact of before and after veneers or other dental work, we may be fooled into thinking a process happened much more quickly than it actually did. 

At About Smiles, we focus on real people, real results and prioritise the overall health and hygiene of your teeth. That’s why we have our before and after smile transformations gallery, so you can get an authentic idea of what’s possible with restorative and cosmetic dental treatments. 

Let’s talk about what ‘really bad teeth’ means. Our smiles are a huge part of how we feel about ourselves, conduct ourselves in professional situations and our overall confidence levels. Cosmetic issues are not just about making us look ‘pretty’; they’re about giving us the self-esteem we need to live our best life. 

As for structural issues like weakened, decayed and damaged teeth — sometimes tooth extraction or more advanced procedures is a necessary step to prevent further damage from spreading to your gum, and nerves and to allow you to talk, eat and smile comfortably again. 

Whatever issues you’re facing with your teeth, at About Smiles, we focus on helping you ‘fix’ the problem in terms of both cosmetic appearance and practical function. We’ll guide you through a range of options to help you find the best treatment to deal with both the appearance of your teeth and any underlying issues affecting your overall dental health. 

Depending on which treatment you and your dentist determine is the right course of action for you; there may be some pain involved in transforming your smile. However, if you’re dealing with overcrowded teeth, structural dental issues, cavities, or damaged or weakened teeth, the chances are you’re already living with pain and which may also become worse as time goes on. 

We have a number of pain management options we can use during your cosmetic dental treatment, and our goal is to give you an ‘after’ moment that doesn’t just look good but addresses the cause of your existing dental pain as well.

If you suffer from overcrowded teeth, underbite or overbite or another problem with the shape and position of your teeth, there are treatments available to correct your smile — even if you’ve had the problem for a long time. No matter how old you are or how pronounced you think the problem is, our dentists are here to help you find a solution and give you a smile you can feel confident in. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us to talk about your teeth and what’s possible to reshape them.
