Columbus, Ohio Lumineers

When people are considering a smile makeover we encourage them to investigate all their options.  Some smile makeovers can cost a considerable amount of money so it’s important to do your research.   It’s important to visit a dentist that has experience with all sorts of dental procedures so that between the 2 of you, you can come up with the solution that is best for your smile, goals, and budget. 

Keep in mind that getting a better smile doesn’t have to be an “Extreme Makeover” to be life changing.  It can be as simple as teeth whitening or as complicated as a full mouth rehabilitation, and anywhere in between.

At our Columbus Ohio Dental Office we use Veneers and Lumineers to give our patients a better Smile in a very short period of time from 1 day to 2 weeks depending on what the patient needs and wants.

I’m not going to lead you to believe that lumineers or veneers are inexpensive, they aren’t but neither is any form of cosmetic improvement. 

As of the writing of this blog post, the cost of a single veneer in our office is $935.  The range of veneer prices in the Columbus market is between $700 – $1500 per veneer. 

Typically a patient will opt for, 4 – 6 veneers for their Smile Makeover.  So this is a $3740 – $5610 investment in something that will change your life and last for years to come. Only you can decide if it is worth it to you because it’s your hard earned cash.

In order to take the first step in you Smile Makeover we offer a free Smile Consultation with the doctor.  At this appointment you can ask all your questions, get to know the doctor, and decide if you are ready to take the next step.  Dr. Thompson or Dr. Hoellrich can also do cosmetic imaging to give you an idea what you would look like with a new smile.  You can also see examples of other Smile Makeovers the doctors have done.

The inspiration for parts of this blog post came from the following blog post on the average-cost-of-lumineers.  Check it out for another dentist’s opinion.

Keep in mind that getting a better smile doesn’t have to be an “Extreme Makeover” to be life changing.  It can be as simple as teeth whitening or as complicated as a full mouth rehabilitation, and anywhere in between.

We encourage you to Google and find out as much as you can about the different types of dental procedures used to improve smiles.  Search for things like Lumineers, Invisalign, tooth bonding, tooth whitening, cosmetic dentist, porcelain veneers, and dental implants.

You should also ask some friends and family members what dentist they would recommend or if you are the outgoing type, if you see a beautiful smile, ask the person about it.  People typically love to talk about their successes and also help others out! 

Below are some questions to ask before and during your smile consultation with your dentist. 

1) What do you want to improve about your smile?  We have a survey that steps you through the process.

2) Ask the cosmetic dentist what they recommend.  You should get more than one option. 

3) What are the alternatives and costs of the different recommendations?

4) Ask the dentist to see before and after pictures of some of their patients.  Ask the dentist what the patient was trying to acheive, what was done, and how much it cost.

5) Evaluate this purchase like you evaluate other major purchases.  Experience, cost, quality, value.  If you are looking for the least expensive cosmetic dentist in town make sure you understand what that means.  They may not have the experience, expertise, or they may use cheap material to acheive an inexpensive price.

6) Do you like the dentist?  Do they spend enough time with you answering your questions.  What about the office appearance and the staff?

All too often patients come to me after many, many years spent wondering

• Wondering if the issues with their smile can be solved
• Wondering if the cost (in dollars) will be too high
• Wondering if the change will change their looks
• Perhaps hoping that it will
• Perhaps hoping that it won’t

One thing I can tell you is that most cosmetic dental problems can be solved.  The materials that are available in dentistry are light-years ahead fo what was available 15 years ago.  And the technology keeps getting better.

There are products that can match your tooth color precisely in both color and transparency, crowns and veneers (in the hands of an experienced dentist) that can look as natural as your real teeth.  Implants that can replace missing teeth and function just like the real thing. 

Invisalign can give you a straighter smile with out the wires and brackets.  And the dental technology goes on and on and the majority of these smile enhancers are affordable.  You don’t have to makeover each tooth in your mouth to make a dramatic impact.

And I love this stuff!  Yes, I’ve been at for 30 years but I enjoy learning what’s next.  It keeps the job exciting!  Helping someone look and feel better is very rewarding work. 

The point is that if you are considering smile improvement, stop wasting time wondering.  Talk to me and learn more about what is available.  The answers may surprise you.
