How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
At your initial consultation, we will examine your mouth and ask about your goals for your cosmetic treatment; we encourage you to bring in pictures of your favorite smiles so that we understand what aspects you’re looking to change. Then, we can create a personalized smile makeover plan for you, which may include any of the following procedures:
- Veneers: Made from thin sheaths of porcelain (or another tooth-colored material), veneers can be attached to the front surfaces of your teeth to make several improvements at once.
- Dental Bonding: We can apply composite resin to your enamel in order to hide small chips, discolored spots, and other flaws. It typically only takes one appointment to complete this cosmetic procedure.
- Teeth Whitening: Our take-home whitening kits can be used to remove surface stains from your teeth as well as certain kinds of discoloration that occur beneath the enamel.
- Invisalign: Thanks to Invisalign clear aligners, you can correct your bite problems and misaligned teeth without having to wear dark-colored brackets and wires.
- Gum Recontouring: Any excess gum tissue that’s making your teeth look unusually short can be removed with a soft tissue laser.
- Metal-Free Restorations: We can create natural-looking crowns made out of materials that mimic the appearance of your
The Benefits of Getting a Smile Makeover
The smile makeover process makes it possible to enhance multiple aspects of your grin. You can create the smile you’ve always wanted with the right combination of expertly performed treatments. Once you’ve completed your smile makeover, you may notice that you feel better about yourself overall, which makes it easier to enjoy your daily life.
It should also be noted that a smile makeover can potentially improve your oral health. Any chipped or cracked teeth can be repaired with aesthetically pleasing restorations. Furthermore, you may find yourself more motivated when it comes to maintaining good oral hygiene in order to help the results of your smile makeover last.

Smile Makeover FAQs
How Many Treatments Can You Include in a Smile Makeover?
There isn’t a limit on the number of treatments you can complete when undergoing a smile makeover. For instance, if you have to whiten your smile with teeth whitening and fix some chipped teeth, you can get a combination of teeth whitening, dental bonding, and veneers. If you have some broken teeth, you can include veneers and crowns. During your consultation, we can discuss the goals you have for your smile and put together a unique plan just for you.
Does a Smile Makeover Hurt?
Smile makeovers include multiple procedures, so many patients worry that it will be painful. Fortunately, we always do everything we can to make your treatment as comfortable as possible. Most cosmetic treatments are non-invasive. For instance, to get teeth whitening or dental bonding, you don’t even need a local anesthetic. If you need your teeth to be reshaped for a procedure, like dental crowns or veneers, we will start by numbing the area, so you don’t need to worry about any pain. You may experience some soreness for a few days afterward, but this is mild and temporary.
Do Smile Makeovers Have an Age Limit?
Smile makeovers can be complex, so you may be wondering if there is a minimum or maximum age limit. The truth is that qualifying has less to do with how old you are and is more related to your oral health. You need to be free of any tooth decay and gum disease. These issues need to be treated and eliminated before moving forward with your smile makeover. The only exception is that kids and teenagers aren’t suitable for most cosmetic treatments. During your consultation, we can discuss which treatment options are and aren’t right for you at this time.
Is a Smile Makeover Covered by Insurance?
Just like other cosmetic treatments, a smile makeover is elective, so dental insurance doesn’t usually cover it. However, there could be some exceptions if the treatment(s) you are getting also provides oral health benefits. For instance, if you are getting a crown or veneer to build up and/or protect a damaged tooth, it could receive partial coverage. In these cases, approximately 50 to 80% of the cost is covered. Our team would be more than happy to help you understand your specific plan so that you know what you can expect in terms of cost.
