What Is a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover addresses several aesthetic concerns such as:

• Tooth color
• Shape and size of teeth
• Tooth alignment and spacing
• Missing or damaged teeth
• Gummy smile or uneven gum line
• Overall harmony with facial structure

It typically involves two or more cosmetic procedures performed in a planned sequence.

🦷 Common Treatments in a Smile Makeover

1. Teeth Whitening

• Brightens discolored or stained teeth
• Often the first step in a makeover

2. Dental Veneers

• Thin shells bonded to front teeth to correct shape, size, or color
• Ideal for a complete front-teeth transformation

3. Dental Crowns

• Restore damaged or misshapen teeth
• Blends function with aesthetics

4. Orthodontic Treatment

• Braces or clear aligners to straighten teeth and correct bite
• May be used before cosmetic procedures

5. Gum Contouring

• Reshapes uneven gum lines or reduces a “gummy” smile

6. Dental Bonding

• Quick fix for chips, cracks, or gaps using tooth-colored resin

7. Dental Implants or Bridges

• Replace missing teeth for a complete, natural-looking smile

📋 Smile Makeover Process

1. Consultation & Assessment
   • Photos, X-rays, and impressions taken
   • Discussion of goals and expectations
2. Digital Smile Design (Optional)
   • A preview of your new smile using digital mockups
3. Treatment Plan
   • Customized combination of procedures
   • May be phased depending on complexity and healing time
4. Execution & Follow-Up
   • Treatment is performed step by step
   • Final adjustments and post-care instructions
