What Can a Smile Makeover Do for Me?
The beauty of a smile makeover is that it can address several aspects of your smile at once, including:
- Crooked, misaligned or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Worn, short or irregularly-shaped teeth
- Stained or darkened teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
Altogether, the procedure can create an entirely new smile for you, complementing all of your best features. During a consultation, you can learn more about how this treatment can help you feel and look your very best. If you have restorative dental needs, like missing teeth, Dr. Weiss will work closely with you to provide available treatment options to establish a state of good oral health before you receive cosmetic work.
Personalized Care
During a thorough examination, Dr. Weiss will use your personal input, digital imaging, and x-rays to begin creating a comprehensive treatment plan. Using a wax-up (a model of what your smile will look like post-treatment), our team is able to provide a clear idea of the results you can expect to achieve.
A smile makeover typically consists of one or more of the following:
- Veneers have many applications, but they are primarily used to conceal minor dental imperfections and create an appearance of symmetry and uniformity.
- Our Zoom!™ In-Office Whitening System can dramatically brighten dull teeth in about an hour. Take-home kits are available for patients who prefer to whiten in the privacy of their own home, on their own time.
- Offered as an alternative to traditional metal braces, Invisalign® uses a set of clear, removable plastic aligners to gently straighten teeth. The duration of treatment time is comparable to traditional braces.
- Used to alleviate a “gummy smile,” gum reshaping gently and permanently removes excess gum tissue to reveal a more attractive gum-to-tooth ratio.
- In addition to fulfilling restorative needs like replacing and strengthening teeth, custom dental crowns may be used to enhance the appearance of some teeth.
- A more conservative alternative to veneers, bonding may be used to fill minor chips and cracks, lengthen short teeth, and fill gaps between teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right cosmetic dentistry treatments for my smile makeover?
Choosing the right cosmetic dentistry treatments for your smile makeover is an important decision.
The expertise and guidance of a skilled cosmetic dentist are crucial in selecting the right cosmetic dentistry treatments for your smile makeover. By discussing your goals, preferences, and concerns, you can collaborate with the dentist to create a personalized treatment plan that enhances your smile and boosts your confidence.
Can a smile makeover correct bite alignment issues?
Yes, a smile makeover can potentially address bite alignment issues. While the primary focus of a smile makeover is to improve the appearance of the smile, certain cosmetic dentistry treatments can also contribute to correcting bite alignment problems.
Some common cosmetic dentistry procedures that may help correct bite alignment issues include orthodontic treatments, porcelain veneers or crowns, and dental implants.
It’s important to note that not all bite alignment issues can be fully corrected with cosmetic dentistry alone. Complex cases may require collaboration with an orthodontist or oral surgeon to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns.
How many appointments are typically needed for a smile makeover?
The number of appointments needed for a smile makeover can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of your case, the specific treatments involved, and your individual treatment plan. While it’s best to consult with your dentist to get an accurate estimate for your unique situation, here’s a general overview: initial consultation, preparatory appointments, treatment appointments, and follow-up appointments.
The duration between appointments can also vary depending on the specific treatments involved. Some procedures may be completed in a single appointment, while others may require multiple visits over a period of weeks or months.
Can a smile makeover improve my oral health as well?
Yes, a smile makeover can improve your oral health along with enhancing the appearance of your smile. Many cosmetic dentistry procedures that are part of a smile makeover also offer functional benefits and can contribute to better oral health. Here are a few ways a smile makeover can improve your oral health: addressing tooth decay and damage, resolving gum disease, replacing missing teeth, and improving bite alignment.
It’s important to note that a smile makeover is a comprehensive approach that combines both aesthetic and functional improvements. By addressing cosmetic concerns and underlying oral health issues, a smile makeover can enhance not only the appearance of your smile but also the overall health and well-being of your mouth. Your dentist will design a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best possible outcome for both your oral health and smile aesthetics.
