Smile Makeover
If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your smile, you may not need a complete transformation to make a noticeable difference. A smile makeover combines one or more cosmetic dental treatments to address the things you would like to change—from the color and shape of your teeth to chips, gaps, worn teeth, or an uneven smile.
Your smile makeover is customized around your goals, your existing teeth, and your overall oral health. Depending on what you want to improve, treatment may include crowns, veneers, or other cosmetic and restorative services. We’ll help you understand your options and create a treatment plan designed to give you a natural-looking smile that fits you.
What Can a Smile Makeover Address?
- Discolored or stained teeth — Improve the appearance of teeth that have become discolored or difficult to brighten with traditional whitening.
- Chipped or worn teeth — Restore teeth that have been damaged, worn down, or changed in shape.
- Gaps or uneven spacing — Improve the appearance of spaces between teeth or an uneven-looking smile.
- Misshapen teeth — Reshape or restore teeth that are unusually small, worn, or irregularly shaped.
- Old or damaged dental work — Replace dental work that is worn, discolored, or no longer complements your smile.
- An uneven smile — Combine treatments to create a more balanced, harmonious appearance.

Every smile is different, and there isn’t one treatment that works for everyone. Depending on your needs, your smile makeover may involve one procedure or several treatments working together.
Crowns can restore teeth that are damaged, worn, weakened, or significantly altered in shape.
Veneers can improve the appearance of teeth by addressing concerns such as discoloration, chips, shape, and spacing.

Will my smile makeover look natural?

Am I a candidate for a smile makeover?
The best way to determine whether a smile makeover is appropriate is through a dental evaluation. Your dentist will consider the health of your teeth and gums as well as your cosmetic goals. Any underlying oral health concerns may need to be addressed before cosmetic treatment begins.
