What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover, also called smile design, is a combination approach that takes advantage of multiple cosmetic dental treatments to deliver a truly beautiful smile. It’s a great fit for people who have long wanted to improve the appearance of their smile and also a welcome solution for those who’ve suffered a traumatic dental injury. 

Just as no two smiles are ever exactly alike, your smile makeover is unique and created to suit your specific treatment needs and goals. The process begins with a personalized consultation and an opportunity to discuss what you hope to achieve through treatment.  

What kinds of treatments might be part of a smile makeover?

Your smile makeover might include many different aesthetic treatments. The goal is to make the most of your natural attributes while correcting any cosmetic issues that make you self-conscious about your smile. 

Some of the cosmetic treatments that might be part of your smile makeover journey include:

• Tooth-colored fillings 
• Gum reshaping
• Inlays and onlays
• Dental bonding
• Porcelain veneers
• Crowns
• Bridges
• Dental implants
• Orthodontic treatments

Many people choose to have teeth whitening done in the beginning stages of a smile makeover. This creates a brighter smile and allows Dr. Niki to match the color of the restorations. 

How long does a smile makeover take?

Your smile makeover consists of treatments designed to meet your specific goals. The timeline of your treatment depends on numerous factors.

If you have any existing dental decay or gum disease, addressing those concerns is the first priority. Once your teeth and gums are healthy, cosmetic treatment begins. Some treatments, like fillings or dental bonding, take just one visit. Treatments like porcelain veneers or crowns require multiple visits and take longer to complete. 

If you’re concerned about the treatment timeline, let Dr. Niki know when you come in for a consultation. You can take steps to reduce your overall treatment time, like booking all your appointments before the process begins. 

Call CLE Smiles by Dr. Niki or book online today to discuss your smile goals and learn how a smile makeover can benefit you.
