Who Can Benefit from Smile Design?
Feel Unsure About Your Smile? Start Here

If any of that sounds familiar, Smile Design might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

What is a smile makeover/smile design?
A smile makeover/smile design is a custom plan to bring you the smile of your dreams. It’s typically a combination of treatments involving restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, or both.
Options include orthodontics (metal braces or clear aligners), whitening, fillings, bonding, veneers, dental implants, and crowns.
A smile makeover/smile design enhances your appearance while maintaining a natural look for teeth. It has the power to alter the alignment and spacing of teeth, their size, shape, and color. The result is a natural-looking, beautiful smile that suits your face.
We’ll define your goals – are you looking to brighten your smile, straighten your teeth, restore missing teeth, or completely reinvent yourself? Then we’ll create and execute the plan.
-
How is smile correction done?
Smile correction is done using a specific treatment or several treatments to fix and create your perfect smile. This can involve a mix of restorative or cosmetic dentistry options.
-
How do celebrities get perfect teeth?
Many celebrities get perfect teeth with a smile design/smile makeover. While there are many celebrities with natural teeth who only need whitening, others have porcelain veneers, which are custom-made porcelain shells adhered to teeth for a flawless appearance. Veneers can completely change the look of a person’s teeth.
The best part about a celebrity smile is that it looks natural, and with our custom smile makeover/smile design, we can do the same for you. Contact us for your smile design consultation today.
-
Are veneers safe?
Yes, veneers are safe. They’ve been used for years, and we’re experienced in creating perfect smiles with the application of custom-made veneers.
-
Can I see what my smile will look like ahead of time?
Yes! We use digital tools to show you a preview of your future smile. You’ll be part of the planning every step of the way, so you feel excited—not nervous—about what’s to come.
-
Does it hurt?
Most people say it’s easier than they expected. Some treatments are completely pain-free, and others might involve mild discomfort. If anything needs numbing, we’ll take care of that too.
-
Will my smile look natural?
Yes. That’s the goal. We design smiles that match your face, skin tone, and personality. We’re not trying to give you someone else’s smile—we’re helping reveal your best one.
