Professional Teeth Whitening
Pro whitening can brighten stained or discolored natural teeth. You can choose between convenient take-home treatment or in-office whitening.
Dental Veneers
Custom veneers cover the visible surfaces of teeth to change several characteristics at once. They can conceal concerns such as chips, cracks, pits, stains, and uneven shapes.
CEREC Same-Day Crowns
A crown can restore a damaged tooth while improving its appearance. Our in-house CEREC technology allows us to create certain crowns in one visit without a temporary restoration.
Tooth Bonding
Composite resin provides a conservative way to conceal smaller cosmetic flaws. Bonding can address chips and other imperfections and can often be completed during one appointment.
Teeth Contouring
Removing a small amount of enamel can smooth uneven or pointed edges. Careful reshaping helps create a more even smile line while preserving your natural appearance.
Common Questions About Smile Makeover
Q What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic dental treatments that address multiple concerns in one plan. The specific treatments included depend on the patient's individual goals, budget, and dental health needs. You and your dentist will discuss what's possible during a consultation.
Q How do I know if I need a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a good fit when multiple cosmetic concerns affect your confidence in your smile. You can address stains, a chipped tooth, or an uneven smile line. If you've been unhappy with multiple aspects of your smile, a makeover lets you address everything at once rather than spreading treatments out over time.
Q What treatments are typically included in a smile makeover?
Smile makeovers commonly combine treatments like teeth whitening, dental veneers, tooth bonding, teeth contouring, and same-day crowns. Not every patient needs every treatment. The specific combination is built around each person's individual goals during a consultation.
Q How long does a smile makeover take?
The timeline for a smile makeover depends on which treatments are included in the plan. Some treatments, like whitening or bonding, can be completed quickly. Others, like veneers, may take a couple of visits. After an initial exam, your dentist can give you a more specific estimate based on your treatment plan.
Q Are smile makeover results permanent?
Many smile makeover treatments offer long-lasting results with proper care. The exact longevity depends on which treatments are included. Veneers and bonding are designed to last for years, while whitening results may fade gradually over time.
Q How much does a smile makeover cost?
The cost of a smile makeover depends on which treatments are included and how many teeth are involved. Every plan is customized, and pricing is discussed in detail during your consultation. We'll discuss any available payment options to help make treatment more affordable.
Q Will my smile makeover look natural?
Yes, the goal of a smile makeover is a result that looks like an enhanced, natural version of your smile. Your dentist selects materials, shades, and shapes that complement your existing features. You can expect a cohesive, believable result.
Q Can a smile makeover improve my oral health, not just my appearance?
Yes, some smile makeover treatments offer functional benefits along with cosmetic improvement. For example, correcting damaged or worn teeth can improve bite function. Certain restorations can protect a tooth from further damage while also enhancing its appearance.
