Your smile is more than just a set of teeth. It is a story about who you are, your way of expressing yourself and connecting with others.
Yet, there are times when our smile tells a story that does not represent true narratives of ourselves. Perhaps our teeth are worn, crooked, or discolored; maybe they have gaps or are unevenly shaped. Whatever the reason, a less-than-confident smile can hold us back from living our best lives. That's where smile makeovers step in.

When patients see us for a smile makeover, they know it can do more than just transform the overall aesthetics of their teeth and gums. They want a beautiful, natural looking smile they can be proud of.
A Hollywood Smile is a popular term for a smile makeover. The name refers to a particular aesthetic standard for teeth, often associated with celebrities and actors. Ultimately, the goal of a smile makeover is to give you a beautiful, natural-looking smile that complements your unique facial features.
Your smile should reflect the best version of you – confident, vibrant, and unique. Your journey is a partnership, and we're here to guide you every step of the way. There will be no unpleasant surprises – you will be involved in choosing the elements that will shape your new smile. The best thing about it is, you get a preview of your new smile before committing to any treatment.
A smile makeover is a combination of cosmetic dental procedures that can improve the appearance and harmony of your teeth, gums, and lips. Depending on your goals, we may recommend veneers, crowns, composite bonding, teeth whitening, gummy smile procedures, and orthodontic treatments.
The goal of a smile makeover is to improve the aesthetics of your smile through one or more procedures. This means that patients both young and old, and who are in good health, can benefit from getting a smile makeover. Whether you’re in your 20s, 50s, or beyond, it is never too late to get your dream smile.
Depending on your treatment, your smile makeover is a long-term solution that can last for many years.
Dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, and fillings are meant to last a lifetime with proper and regular care and maintenance. The results of teeth whitening can last for years but may require occasional touch-ups. If you've undergone orthodontic work, wearing your retainers as prescribed will help keep your teeth in their ideal position.
Like your natural teeth, your new smile is not immune to wear and tear and will require regular upkeep.
No. Smile makeovers cause minimal discomfort and there are pain management techniques available at the dentist to ensure you have a relaxed experience.
A smile makeover is a transformative experience. Before you commit to any treatment, do your research. Book a consultation with a reputable smile makeover specialist and explore all your options. Do not hesitate to ask for your dentist’s previous smile makeover works. Be sure to communicate your preferences and dislikes, and discuss the possibility of a “trial smile” using mock-ups or 3D imaging to visualize your potential results.
Good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and professional cleanings will help maintain your new smile for years to come. Your dentist will examine the natural wear and tear of your teeth and offer treatments or touch-ups if necessary. Avoid using your teeth as tools, and use nightguards and retainers as prescribed.
