A Complete Smile Transformation
While treatments such as veneers or teeth whitening can address a single concern, a smile makeover combines multiple procedures to achieve a more comprehensive result. Every smile makeover is carefully planned around your goals, with each procedure selected and completed in the right order to achieve the best possible outcome.
We Start With Your Goals
Every patient has a different vision for their smile. Some want brighter teeth, while others are concerned about chips, uneven spacing, worn teeth, or replacing missing teeth. What bothers one person may not bother the next.
Your consultation begins with a discussion about what you would like to change. We evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health while listening carefully to your concerns and priorities. This allows us to recommend treatment that reflects your goals rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
“A smile makeover should reflect the person behind the smile. We take the time to understand what each patient hopes to achieve before recommending the treatments that are right for them.”
— Dr. Craig Longenecker
A Treatment Plan Designed Around You
Once we understand your goals, we develop a treatment plan outlining the procedures recommended to achieve your desired result.
Using digital impressions and smile design technology, we create a preview of your expected outcome so you can see the proposed changes before treatment begins. Together, we review the plan, discuss your options, and make adjustments until you feel confident moving forward.
Comprehensive Care in One Office
Your smile makeover is planned and coordinated from beginning to end in our office. If your treatment includes a dental implant, we will refer you to a trusted local oral surgeon for implant placement and work closely with them throughout the process. Once healing is complete, you will return to our office for your custom implant restoration.
Treatments That May Be Included
Every smile makeover is different. Depending on your goals, treatment plan, and oral health, your smile makeover may include one or more of the following procedures.
Invisalign
Invisalign gradually straightens teeth using a series of clear aligners. If your treatment plan includes Invisalign, it is typically completed before other cosmetic procedures.
Veneers
Dental veneers are thin porcelain restorations bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth to improve their shape, color, size, and overall appearance.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening brightens your natural teeth by removing stains and discoloration. Whitening is often completed before veneers or crowns so restorations can be matched to your lighter tooth shade.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips, close small gaps, reshape teeth, and improve minor imperfections with a conservative approach.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns restore teeth that are too damaged or weakened for veneers or bonding. They strengthen the tooth while improving its appearance and function.
Implant Restorations
Dental implant restorations replace missing teeth with a custom-made crown or bridge that is attached to a dental implant. If implant surgery is needed, we coordinate treatment with a trusted local oral surgeon before completing your restoration.
Thoughtfully Planned, Naturally Beautiful
Every smile is different, and every patient has different priorities. Some people want dramatic changes, while others are looking for subtle improvements that simply help them feel more confident.
Our goal is to recommend treatments that reflect what matters most to you and create a smile that looks natural, functions comfortably, and feels like your own.
