What Can a Smile Makeover Address?

• Dark/discolored teeth resistant to whitening
• Chips, worn edges, and uneven tooth lengths
• Gaps or minor misalignment (without braces)
• Asymmetry in tooth proportion or gum line
• Old, mismatched fillings or crowns in the smile zone

Core Treatment Options (Customized Mix)

• Veneers: Ultra-thin porcelain / no-prep where suitable
• Professional Whitening: In-office + take-home for lasting brightness
• Composite Bonding: Edge repairs, black triangle fill, micro-reshaping
• Gum Contouring: Laser recontouring for gummy smiles or uneven margins
• Clear Aligners (as needed): Short pre-alignment for better veneer outcomes
• Porcelain Crowns/Onlays: For heavily restored or cracked teeth
• Implant/Crown (select cases): To replace non-restorable teeth in the smile line

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You likely qualify if you have healthy gums, realistic goals, and want changes in color/shape/symmetry with minimal downtime. Severe crowding, large restorations, or bruxism may require pre-alignment, selective prep, or a night guard.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Consultation & Smile Analysis (Day 1–2)
   Photos, X-rays (as needed), bite check, gum evaluation, shade goals.
2. Digital Smile Design & Mock-Up (Day 2–4)
   Simulation + wax-up/try-in to preview length and proportions.
3. Pre-Treatment (Day 3–6)
   Whitening, minor aligner start, or gum contouring if indicated.
4. Definitive Work (Day 5–10)
   Veneers/crowns fabrication → bonding & placement, composite finishing.
5. Review & Maintenance (Day 10–14)
   Bite refinement, polishing, photos, night guard (if grinding).

 *Many makeovers can be completed in 7–14 days, subject to case complexity and lab schedule.

Materials & Aesthetics

• Lithium disilicate ceramics for lifelike translucency and strength
• Layered shades, micro-texture, and edge characterization for natural depth
• Tissue-friendly margins for easier hygiene and long-term stability

Results & Longevity

• Expect immediate improvements in brightness, symmetry, and proportion.
• With good care, ceramics commonly last 10–15+ years.
• Night guard recommended for grinders; routine checks every 6 months.

Aftercare Essentials

• Soft brush, non-abrasive toothpaste, daily floss/water flosser
• Avoid chewing ice, pens, or hard candies
• Minimize strong pigments for 48 hours post-bonding (coffee, red wine)
• Wear your night guard if prescribed

FAQs

• Do you shave my teeth?
  For suitable cases, no-prep/ultra-thin veneers need little to no reduction. Selective micro-prep may be advised for ideal fit.
• Can I whiten before veneers?
  Yes—whiten before shade selection so non-veneered teeth match.
• How many teeth should I treat?
  Common sets are 4, 6, 8, or 10 per arch depending on your smile display.
• Will I have temporaries?
  For larger changes, mock-ups/temporaries help you preview length and shape.
• Is English support available?
  Yes—intake, quotes, and aftercare are provided in English.
