Smile Makeover Planning

A smile makeover is not a single procedure. It is a coordinated plan that may combine preventive, restorative, orthodontic, or cosmetic treatment based on a patient’s goals and oral health.

Start with health and function

Active decay, gum disease, broken teeth, or bite concerns generally need to be considered before or alongside elective cosmetic treatment.

Possible components

Whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns, replacement of missing teeth, and orthodontic treatment are examples of options that may be discussed depending on the case.

Set priorities

A consultation can help separate changes that are important for health or function from those that are primarily cosmetic and establish a realistic sequence and budget.


Individual care matters: Treatment recommendations depend on an examination, health history, diagnosis, and individual needs. Call the office to discuss whether evaluation, treatment, or referral is appropriate.
