What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan that combines multiple dental procedures to enhance the appearance and function of your smile. It’s not just about brightening your teeth—it’s about creating a smile that feels balanced, natural, and true to who you are.
Depending on your goals, your makeover may include one or more of the following:
- Porcelain Veneers: To correct chips, uneven edges, or discoloration.
- Dental Crowns: To restore strength and structure to damaged teeth.
- Teeth Whitening: To lift deep stains and bring out a brighter tone.
- Bonding: To smooth small imperfections and close minor gaps.
- Invisalign Aligners: To straighten teeth and improve alignment.
Every smile makeover is customized to your unique dental needs, facial symmetry, and desired results. Dr. Whiteman takes time to design a plan that achieves a natural look—never artificial or overdone.

Our Smile Makeover Process
A smile makeover at Whiteman Dental Associates is a step-by-step process that prioritizes your comfort, clarity, and satisfaction at every stage.
1. Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed conversation and evaluation. Dr. Whiteman will assess your teeth, gums, and bite, review your goals, and discuss what you hope to achieve. Photos, digital scans, or X-rays may be taken to support the design process.
2. Smile Design
This stage is all about planning. Using digital imaging or physical models, we evaluate proportions, symmetry, and balance. Together, we’ll explore different possibilities so you can visualize how your new smile will look before any treatment begins.
3. Customized Treatment Plan
Once your ideal design is established, we create a detailed plan outlining every procedure, timeline, and cost. This plan may combine cosmetic treatments like veneers or whitening with restorative elements for improved function and longevity.
4. Treatment Phase
Treatments are performed in stages, depending on complexity. Some procedures may be completed in one visit, while others—like orthodontic adjustments or veneers—may take several weeks. Throughout, your comfort and care remain our priority.
5. Final Review and Refinement
After treatment, we’ll evaluate your results and make any necessary adjustments for precision and comfort. You’ll leave with a smile that looks and feels exactly how you envisioned it.
Common Procedures in a Smile Makeover
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that correct chips, cracks, discoloration, and uneven spacing. Each veneer is carefully crafted to mimic the translucency and texture of natural enamel, providing lasting beauty and strength.
Dental Crowns
Crowns restore structure to teeth that have been weakened by decay, damage, or wear. Crafted from durable, natural-looking materials, crowns blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth while improving bite balance.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening can dramatically enhance your smile’s brightness in a single visit or over time with take-home options. We select shades that complement your complexion and look naturally radiant.
Tooth Bonding
Bonding is ideal for minor imperfections like small chips or uneven edges. Dr. Whiteman sculpts tooth-colored resin directly onto the tooth, blending it seamlessly for immediate results.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
If alignment or spacing issues affect your smile, Invisalign provides a discreet, comfortable solution. Custom-made trays gradually shift teeth into position, improving both aesthetics and function.
Each treatment complements the others, allowing us to design a cohesive, balanced outcome.
The Art of Smile Design
Creating a beautiful smile is as much about artistry as it is about technique. Dr. Whiteman considers facial shape, lip movement, and tooth proportions when designing your makeover. Every adjustment—no matter how small—serves a purpose.
During the design phase, he evaluates factors such as:
- Tooth length, width, and contour
- Alignment and spacing
- Gum shape and symmetry
- Facial proportions and smile line
This meticulous attention ensures your final results look naturally integrated—not like a replacement, but an enhancement.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
Your smile makeover consultation is collaborative, relaxed, and centered on your goals. During this visit, you can expect:
- A comprehensive dental exam and health assessment
- Digital photos and scans to evaluate your smile structure
- An open discussion about your priorities and expectations
- Transparent explanations of treatment options and costs
You’ll leave with a complete understanding of your personalized plan and the confidence to move forward at your own pace.
Smile Makeover Duration and Longevity
The timeline for your smile makeover will depend on the complexity of your case and the treatments involved. Some makeovers can be completed in a few weeks, while others may extend over several months for the best, most natural results.
With proper care, the results of your smile makeover can last for many years. Veneers, crowns, and bonding are durable and resistant to staining, while routine maintenance helps preserve brightness and balance.
Caring for Your New Smile
After your makeover, maintaining your results is simple with regular care. We recommend:
- Brushing twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Flossing daily to maintain gum health
- Avoiding habits like nail biting or chewing ice
- Wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth
- Visiting our office every six months for cleanings and checkups
We’ll provide tailored aftercare instructions to keep your smile looking and feeling its best.
Cost and Financial Transparency
Smile makeovers vary in cost depending on the number and type of treatments involved. Before beginning any procedure, we’ll provide a clear estimate and explain every detail so you can make informed decisions.
While most cosmetic procedures are elective and not covered by insurance, certain restorative treatments—such as crowns or orthodontics—may qualify for partial coverage.
Karen, our office manager, is always available to review payment options, financing plans, and insurance details. We believe transparency and clarity are essential parts of excellent care.
