Smile Makeover
Comprehensive smile makeover planning combining digital visualization, restorative dentistry, whitening, bonding, veneers, or other options as appropriate.
A smile makeover is a plan, not a single procedure.
Depending on the starting condition and goals, treatment can combine whitening, bonding, orthodontics, gum contour changes, veneers, crowns, implant treatment or replacement of older restorations.
- Color and shade
- Tooth proportion
- Smile arc
- Tooth position
- Gingival symmetry
- Existing restorations and wear
Visualization can improve communication.
Photography, scans and digital design can help patients and clinician discuss proportions and priorities before treatment. A preview is a communication tool, not a guarantee of an exact biological outcome.
Function and aesthetics should agree.
When multiple teeth are being changed, the bite, tooth contacts, jaw function and material selection deserve the same attention as appearance.

A thoughtful plan starts with a thorough diagnosis.

Digital planning, microscope-enhanced preparation and on-site CAD/CAM capabilities can be combined for selected cosmetic restorative cases, allowing the clinician to stay closely involved from design through final refinement.
