If there are multiple dental and/or periodontal issues that need to be addressed, a smile makeover may be right for you. After a consultation, one of our cosmetic dentists will be able to create a customized treatment plan, taking into account your unique facial structure. A smile makeover can consist of a combination of cosmetic, general, and/or restorative dental techniques.
A smile makeover, or smile design, is a combination of dental treatments intended to enhance the overall appearance of a person’s smile. By performing multiple procedures within the same treatment plan, our dentists can address several cosmetic concerns at once. From chips and cracks to stains and misalignment, a smile makeover can transform a person’s teeth to create a smile they are proud to show off.
A customized smile design from our cosmetic dentistry team takes into account the unique facial structure of each patient. Based on their needs and cosmetic goals, one of our dentists will create a personalized treatment plan to help the patient achieve their desired results. A wide range of concerns can be addressed in a smile makeover, with some of the most common including:

Depending on the specific treatments involved in a patient’s smile design, the process may be performed in a single procedure or over multiple visits. The details of a patient’s smile makeover will be discussed during their initial appointment so they know what to expect throughout the process. Our goal is for patients to be well-informed about their treatment, helping them feel confident as they obtain the smile of their dreams.
