A smile makeover is not just one dental service. Rather, it is a personalized cosmetic treatment plan that we put together with the goal of addressing everything that is robbing your smile of its potential. We custom design your smile makeover to suit your needs and preferences. Whether the process takes weeks or months, you can expect an end result that is highly functional, natural-looking, and beautiful. Just what steps are involved in a smile makeover, and how might it benefit you? Read the information below to find out.
Your smile makeover begins with a thorough exam. We will look for any issues that might be plaguing your oral health, such as cavities, gum disease, and worn-down teeth. As we take care of these issues, the appearance of your smile is likely to improve to a degree — perhaps even dramatically. That is because we use our skills and technology to design restorations that complement your natural dentition and offer beautiful form as well as function.
Once we are sure that your teeth and gums are healthy, we will move onto the next phase of your smile makeover: the purely cosmetic phase. The treatments in this stage of the process do not specifically aim to improve your oral health. Rather, their goal is to enhance the way your teeth and gums look.
We carry out cosmetic treatments with patient preferences at the forefront of our minds. We may ask you what specific things about your smile you would like to change and how you would like to change them. For example, are you unhappy with the shape or color of your teeth? Are you displeased with the way your gums look? We will also ask you about your expectations for treatment and your budget. Based on what you say, we will recommend the appropriate procedures.
Some of the cosmetic procedures that might be involved in a smile makeover include:
A smile makeover is not just about looking good; it can deliver a number of other remarkable benefits:

During your FREE consultation, we can share an itemized estimate based on your recommended treatment plan. We will also be happy to help you understand your various payment options. For example, we work with CareCredit and Sunbit to provide low-interest financing. We also have an in-house membership plan that can reduce the cost of many services.

We strive to make every treatment as comfortable as possible. We use gentle techniques and offer options for pain management when needed. For example, we use local anesthesia for many procedures, and sedation is available for invasive or extensive care. Since many cosmetic procedures are fairly easy and minimally invasive, you should expect to feel little to nothing while our team is working.
However, keep in mind that some posttreatment soreness and sensitivity are common with various procedures. Our team will answer your questions about what to expect during and after each procedure. We will also provide tips to help make your recovery as easy and comfortable as possible.
The longevity of cosmetic dentistry varies based on a few factors, such as the specific procedures you undergo and how well you care for your teeth. Veneers and crowns can last for many years with proper maintenance. Whitening results may fade over the course of several months, but regular touch-ups can help preserve your brighter smile. Our team will provide specific and personalized guidance on how you can maintain your results.
