Smile Makeovers

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is a term used to describe a combination of cosmetic dentistry treatments. The goal of a smile makeover is to create dramatic improvements in the appearance of your smile, as opposed to choosing one specific treatment that only addresses a small range of aesthetic issues.

Smile makeovers are highly customized. Just as no two smiles are ever exactly alike, your smile makeover is unique and designed to address your specific set of needs and goals.  

What services might a smile makeover include?

Your dentist has numerous advanced cosmetic dentistry treatments to choose from when shaping your custom smile makeover. Some treatments can address more than one issue or more than one tooth. 

Treatments that your smile makeover process might include are:

• Teeth whitening
• Dental crowns
• Bridges
• Dental bonding
• Veneers
• Dental implants
• Tooth-colored fillings
• Inlays and onlays
• Gum reshaping

Most people only need a few of these treatments to achieve their ideal smile. If you have active dental decay or gum disease, those issues must be addressed before moving forward with your smile makeover.

How do I know which cosmetic procedures are right for me?

The sheer volume of options can feel overwhelming. Perhaps the most important part of a smile makeover is the planning process. Your dentist works closely with you to learn more about what you desire to accomplish with a smile makeover. A dental exam provides information about the health and appearance of your teeth. 

Your dentist then discusses your options. You’re encouraged to be a part of your consultation, so feel free to ask questions throughout the process. Topics might include the timeline of treatment, as some treatments require multiple visits and healing periods between visits. 

You also learn what to expect in terms of cost. There are many different options for completing a smile makeover, with a solution for virtually every set of needs and budget. 

At Shara Miller, DDS, smile makeovers are delivered with an artistic eye. The shape of your face, the curve of your smile, and even the color of your skin and lips can all factor into the decision on which treatments offer the best results. 

When you’re ready to begin, call the office to schedule a face-to-face consultation. Online booking is also an option and is fast and convenient.
