Smile Makeover - A Complete Transformation, Designed Around You

Your Dream Smile Starts With a Personalized Plan

A beautiful smile can change the way you look, the way you feel, and the confidence you bring to everyday life.

If you're unhappy with several aspects of your smile, such as discoloration, chipped teeth, uneven tooth shapes, gaps, missing teeth, or worn dental restorations, a smile makeover may be the right solution.

At Westend Dental Fountain Square, we believe every smile is unique.

That's why our smile makeover treatments are customized to your individual needs, facial appearance, dental health, and personal goals.

Whether you're looking for subtle improvements or a more dramatic transformation, our team can help you explore the possibilities.

What Is a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover is a personalized combination of cosmetic and restorative dental treatments designed to improve the overall appearance of your smile.

Unlike a single cosmetic procedure that addresses one specific concern, a smile makeover considers multiple aspects of your teeth and smile together.

Your dentist evaluates factors such as:

• Tooth color and brightness.
• Tooth size, shape, and proportions.
• Gaps and spacing between teeth.
• Alignment and overall smile symmetry.
• Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth.
• Missing teeth.
• Existing crowns, fillings, or restorations.
• Gum appearance and smile balance.

Based on these findings and your preferences, we develop a customized treatment plan.

Treatments That May Be Included in a Smile Makeover

1. Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional whitening can brighten natural teeth affected by staining or discoloration.

Whitening may be recommended before other cosmetic treatments so that new restorations can be matched to your desired tooth shade.

2. Porcelain Veneers

Custom-made porcelain veneers can improve the appearance of teeth affected by discoloration, chips, gaps, uneven shapes, or other cosmetic imperfections.

Veneers may be used to create a more uniform and balanced appearance across the front teeth.

3. Cosmetic Dental Bonding

Tooth-colored composite bonding can correct minor chips, small gaps, and uneven tooth edges.

Bonding is often a conservative option for targeted cosmetic improvements.

4. Dental Crowns

Dental crowns may be recommended when teeth are significantly damaged, weakened, or heavily restored.

Modern tooth-colored crowns can improve appearance while helping restore strength and function.

5. Dental Implants or Bridges

When teeth are missing, dental implants or bridges may be used to replace them and restore a more complete smile.

The appropriate option depends on oral health, bone support, and individual treatment needs.

6. Orthodontic Treatment

For patients with crowded, crooked, or misaligned teeth, orthodontic treatment may be recommended to improve alignment and bite relationships before or instead of restorative cosmetic treatment.

Not every smile makeover requires all these procedures. Your plan is based on what is appropriate for your individual situation.

The Smile Makeover Process

Step 1: Comprehensive Smile Consultation

We begin by listening to your goals and understanding what you would like to change about your smile.

Your dentist evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, existing dental work, and overall oral health.

Photographs, dental imaging, impressions, or digital scans may be recommended to support treatment planning.

Step 2: Personalized Smile Design

Your dentist discusses the changes that may help achieve your desired result.

Important considerations include your facial features, lip position, tooth proportions, smile symmetry, and preferred tooth shade.

Where appropriate, digital planning or a diagnostic preview may be used to help you visualize potential changes.

Step 3: Customized Treatment Plan

A comprehensive treatment plan is developed using the procedures best suited to your needs.

We explain the recommended treatments, anticipated sequence of appointments, expected timeline, and estimated costs.

Patients requiring several procedures may complete treatment in phases.

Step 4: Smile Transformation

Your dentist performs the planned cosmetic and restorative procedures while monitoring your comfort, oral health, and treatment progress.

Depending on the complexity of your makeover, treatment may take one appointment or several months.

Step 5: Maintaining Your New Smile

After completing treatment, our team provides recommendations to help maintain your results.

Regular dental visits, proper oral hygiene, and appropriate care of cosmetic restorations are essential for long-term success.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover?

Smile makeovers may be ideal for patients who:

• Feel self-conscious about multiple aspects of their teeth.
• Have discolored, chipped, uneven, or worn teeth.
• Want to improve the overall symmetry and appearance of their smile.
• Have old dental restorations that affect their smile's appearance.
• Are missing one or more teeth.
• Want a coordinated treatment plan instead of addressing each cosmetic concern separately.
• Are looking for a personalized approach to cosmetic dentistry.

Before beginning cosmetic treatment, conditions such as active decay, gum disease, or other oral health concerns may need to be addressed.

How Much Does a Smile Makeover Cost?

The cost of a smile makeover varies because every treatment plan is different.

Factors that influence cost include the number of teeth being treated, the types of procedures selected, the materials used, and the complexity of treatment.

Some patients may achieve their goals with whitening and minor bonding, while others may benefit from veneers, crowns, implants, or additional procedures.

During your consultation, our dental team will explain your options and provide an individualized treatment estimate.

How Long Will My Smile Makeover Last?

The longevity of your results depends on the procedures performed, your oral health, and your daily habits.

Whitening may require periodic touch-ups, while bonding, veneers, crowns, and other restorations require ongoing maintenance and may eventually need replacement.

Proper oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and avoiding harmful habits can help protect your investment in your smile.
