What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is a plan, not a single procedure. Your dentist looks at your whole smile and pulls together the treatments that fit your goals. The plan is done in a set order so each step supports the next.

Built around what you want to change
Can mix cosmetic and restorative care
Done in stages, at a pace that works for you

Who a smile makeover can help

A makeover may make sense if more than one thing bothers you about your smile. For example:

Teeth that are stained, yellow or uneven in color
Chips, cracks or worn edges
Gaps, crowding or crooked teeth
Old metal fillings you would like to replace
One or more missing teeth

Your mouth needs to be healthy before cosmetic work begins. If you have cavities or gum disease, those are treated first. If you have just one concern, a single treatment such as whitening or bonding may be all you need.

How a makeover comes together

Consult. You tell us what you like and do not like about your smile. Your dentist takes photos, x-rays and scans.
Your plan. Your dentist explains the options, the order of steps and the timeline. You decide what to do and when.
Healthy base. Any cavities, gum issues or bite problems are treated first.
Treatment. Steps are done in order. Teeth are often straightened or whitened first, then shaped or covered.
Final check. Your dentist looks at your bite and the overall look and makes small refinements.

Treatments that may be part of your plan

Teeth whitening to brighten your natural teeth
Clear aligners to move crooked or gapped teeth
Veneers or bonding to reshape and cover front teeth
Tooth-colored fillings and crowns to replace old or worn dental work
Implants or bridges to fill in missing teeth

Protecting your new smile

Your dentist will give you care steps for each treatment in your plan. In general, brush twice a day, floss daily and keep your checkups. Wear a retainer if you had aligners. If you grind your teeth, a night guard can help protect veneers, crowns and bonding.

Cost and insurance

Your cost depends on the care you need and your dental plan. After your exam, we give you an estimate and go over what your insurance is likely to cover before any treatment starts. We work with most major dental plans and accept CareCredit.

Does insurance cover a smile makeover?

Insurance often covers parts that fix damage or replace missing teeth, like fillings, crowns or bridges. Purely cosmetic steps are usually not covered. We check your plan and give you an estimate first.
