How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
Each smile makeover plan is 100% customized for the individual. We start the process with a thorough examination and diagnostic review of your oral health. Then we’ll look at your smile, compare it to other smiles you like (we invite you to bring photos of your favorite grins or view samples in the dental office), and create result models. We can manipulate digital images to show your possible results, as well as create temporary “try-on” cosmetics or a full wax model.
Once we have a thorough understanding of your current oral health and desired results, we’ll develop a detailed treatment plan to transform your smile. Some of the treatments we may recommend include:
Restorative services such as tooth-colored fillings, all-ceramic restorations, and dental implant tooth replacements.
Orthodontic services – or more specifically, Invisalign. The Invisalign clear aligner system straightens crooked teeth and misaligned bites without the hassle of traditional braces. We may also recommend cosmetic bonding or porcelain veneers to conceal minor crowding or gapping.
Cosmetic services. You can brighten your grin with in-office or at-home teeth whitening, conceal dental flaws with stain resistant porcelain veneers, or choose from any other of our cosmetic dentistry services.

Smile Makeover FAQs
How many treatments can be included in a smile makeover?
Plenty of patients have questions about their complete smile makeover, such as how many different procedures can be included. The truth is that our team in Washington is happy to provide as many cosmetic or restorative services as needed to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
For instance, if you want a brighter grin, we might recommend teeth whitening, which can be done in the office for more immediate results or at home for more gradual changes over a couple of weeks. Depending on your dental condition, bleach might not be a viable option, in which case we might suggest veneers, dental bonding, or dental crowns instead. Our team will take the time to walk you through the details of each included procedure so you know what to expect.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Are you wondering how long it will take to completely remake your smile? It’s natural to question, but the answer can depend significantly on your unique circumstances and the different services included in your treatment plan.
For instance, in-office teeth whitening might lighten your grin by several shades in a single, hour-long appointment, compared to our professional-strength take-home kits, which often take a couple of weeks to work. Other options, like placing veneers or traditional dental crowns, can require multiple visits over a couple of weeks. We can help reduce wait times for some patients in Washington by offering same-day dental crowns printed with our on-site milling machine.
Are smile makeovers safe?
Most cosmetic dental procedures are considered safe when performed by a qualified provider, like one of our Washington dentists. Not only that, but in many cases, they are also considered non-invasive, because there’s usually no need for needles or numbing. Most dental restorations are also considered harmless for most patients. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that every service is right for everyone.
Before proceeding with your smile makeover, our team will examine your mouth and address any pre-existing concerns, such as cavities or gum disease, that could affect the results. We’ll also update your medical history and list any current medications or prescriptions that you’re taking to avoid doing anything that might cause complications.
How can I maintain the results of my smile makeover?
Generally speaking, most patients can help maintain the results of cosmetic and restorative dental treatments by taking good care of their teeth. For instance, brushing and flossing twice daily removes plaque and bacteria that cause common dental concerns, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and dental discoloration, which can negatively affect the outcomes of the various services you elect to undergo.
You can also avoid dark foods known to stain, such as tea, coffee, berries, tomatoes, and wine. You might reduce your consumption of overly sugary, hard, crunchy, and sticky foods that might also damage or dislodge a tooth or restoration.
Finally, visiting our team every 6 months for a routine checkup and cleaning is a simple and effective way to maintain your recently enhanced smile.
