A smile makeover is considered a success when the patient is satisfied with the outcome, and the treatment has met the goals and expectations set by the patient and dentist. However, in some cases, a smile makeover may not have the desired outcome, and there may be signs of failure.
Some signs of smile makeover failure include:
- If you experience persistent pain or discomfort after a smile makeover,
- If dental work such as veneers, crowns, or bridges become loose or shift,
- Following a teeth-whitening process, if stains or discolourations appear on your teeth,If your bite or alignment issues persist after an orthodontic treatment,
- If you experience a persistent infection after a dental procedure such as a dental implant, All of the above may be a sign that the treatment was not successful or that there is a complication.
What are the side effects of smile makeover?
A smile makeover may have some adverse effects, just like any other medical or dental operation. The specific side effects will depend on the specific procedures included in the treatment plan.
Here are some common side effects of smile makeover treatments:
- Some procedures may cause pain or discomfort during or after the treatment. This can usually be managed with pain medication prescribed by the dentist.
- Some procedures may cause swelling or bruising around the treatment area. This is common and will usually disappear within a few days.Some procedures, such as teeth whitening, may cause sensitivity in the teeth. With the help of over-the-counter pain relievers, this may typically be handled temporarily.
- There is a small risk of infection after dental procedures, it can be treated with antibiotics.
- In rare cases, a patient may have an allergic reaction to the materials used in the treatment.
- Some procedures may not have the desired outcome, and the treatment may need to be redone.
