Smile Makeovers

What Is a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover is a planned combination of treatments that addresses the appearance of your smile as a whole rather than one tooth at a time. Depending on what you want changed, it may draw on whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns, gum recontouring, orthodontics or replacement of missing teeth.

How Treatment Is Planned

Planning starts with what you want to change, described in your own words, alongside photographs, an examination and models or a digital scan. Color, tooth shape and proportion, the position of the gumline, how much tooth shows when you smile and how your teeth meet are all assessed together.

Health comes before appearance. Active decay, gum disease or a bite problem is treated first — cosmetic work built over an untreated problem does not last.

Seeing the Result First

A digital preview or a wax mock-up lets you see the proposed outcome before irreversible work begins, and in some cases a temporary version can be worn so you can judge it in real life. That review stage is where changes should be made — it is much easier to adjust a plan than a finished restoration.
