What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a complete approach to enhancing your smile using one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures. It is tailored to address individual concerns such as stained, chipped, misaligned, or missing teeth, resulting in a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing smile.
What treatments are involved in a smile makeover?
Smile makeovers can include a variety of treatments, depending on the patient’s unique needs and goals. Common procedures are:
- Teeth Whitening: Brightens discolored or stained teeth for a more youthful appearance.
- Porcelain Veneers: Thin shells that are as close to the natural teeth as possible and cover the front surface of teeth to correct imperfections like chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth.
- Dental Crowns: Caps shaped crowns are designed to restore damaged teeth to their original shape, size, and strength.
- Orthodontics: Solutions such as clear aligners to straighten misaligned teeth.
- Dental Implants: Permanent replacements for missing teeth that look and function like natural teeth.
Dr. Paris and Dr. Yaseen will work with you to determine the most appropriate treatments for your smile makeover.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for a smile makeover?
If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of your smile, you may be a candidate for a smile makeover. Ideal candidates are in good oral health but have cosmetic concerns they wish to address. A consultation with Dr. Paris or Dr. Yaseen will involve thoroughly evaluating your oral health and discussing your aesthetic goals to determine the best course of action.

How long does a smile makeover take?
The answer to this question will change from patient to patient based on how many treatments are included in their smile makeover plan and how complex those procedures are. While a teeth whitening treatment may be completed within a single visit, other treatments like dental implants or orthodontics will take months or years. Dr. Paris and Dr. Yaseen will provide a personalized treatment plan and timeline during your consultation.
Are smile makeovers only about cosmetic appearance?
While the primary focus of a smile makeover is to enhance the visual appeal of your smile, many of the procedures also offer functional benefits. For instance, replacing missing teeth can improve chewing and speaking abilities, and aligning misaligned teeth can improve oral hygiene and overall dental health.
