Full Smile Makeover
A coordinated plan that may combine selected cosmetic and restorative treatments.
Overview
Understanding full smile makeover
A smile makeover is not one procedure. It begins with diagnosis and may sequence whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns, or orthodontic care according to your health, priorities, timeline, and budget.
The care pathway
What an appointment may involve
The exact sequence can change with your diagnosis, health, anatomy, and treatment plan.
Treatment stage
Compare treatment combinations and sequence conservative steps first.
Completion and follow-up
Review each completed phase and establish a maintenance plan.
Personalized care
What shapes a recommendation
A clinician may consider these factors alongside your symptoms, priorities, and reasonable alternatives.
- Active decay or gum disease that should be treated first
- Bite, grinding, tooth structure, and restoration history
- Desired changes, treatment time, maintenance, and budget
