Smile Makeover: Transform Your Smile with Confidence
Smile makeovers transform your appearance and your oral health in Clearwater, FL
Your Personalized Dental Makeover
One size never fits all, and that is particularly true when it comes to cosmetic dental care. Our dentists take the time to talk with patients about what they like about their teeth, how they’d like to change them, and other lifestyle factors and treatment preferences before designing their personalized smile transformation plan. While one patient may benefit from teeth whitening and Invisalign treatment, for example, another patient may need a full mouth reconstruction to restore not only beauty, but also health to their smiles. Treatments that may be included in your smile makeover include:
- Teeth whitening or deep bleaching
- Porcelain veneers
- Lumineers®
- Inlays and onlays
- Dental bonding
- Invisalign treatment to straighten your teeth
- Restorative procedures such as the placement of tooth-colored, all-porcelain crowns
- Replacements for missing teeth using Dental Implants Restoration, bridges, or dentures
- Smile Lift facial aesthetic rejuvenation
Benefits of A Smile Makeover
A Smile Makeover can also have the added benefit of taking years off your appearance. When your teeth are properly aligned and fill in the spaces behind your lips and cheeks well, they give your face youthful volume for an instant face lift-like effect – without the invasive surgery!
In addition to giving you a terrific smile, a smile makeover can truly transform your oral health and enhance your overall well-being. When your teeth have a natural shape, are in proper alignment, and missing teeth are replaced with biocompatible restorations, your whole body will benefit. Aches and pains associated with a bite that is off, sleep apnea, TMJ disorder, and more can all disappear with healthy, straight teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a personalized plan that combines cosmetic (and sometimes restorative) dentistry to improve the look of your smile—often focusing on tooth color, shape, alignment, symmetry, and overall balance.
What concerns can a smile makeover fix?
Smile makeovers commonly help with:
-
Stained or yellow teeth
-
Chips, cracks, or worn edges
-
Gaps or uneven spacing
-
Crooked or crowded teeth
-
Uneven tooth sizes or shapes
-
Old dental work that looks dark or doesn’t match
-
Missing teeth (depending on your plan)
What treatments are commonly included in a smile makeover?
Depending on your goals, your plan may include:
-
Professional teeth whitening
-
Veneers
-
Dental bonding
-
Tooth-colored crowns
-
Same-day restorations (when appropriate)
-
Clear aligners (like Invisalign®)
-
Tooth contouring for improved symmetry
Your dentist will recommend the best combination for your smile.
How do you decide what will look best?
We consider your facial features, lip line, tooth proportions, bite, and your personal preferences. The goal is a smile that looks natural and fits you—not a “cookie-cutter” result.
How long does a smile makeover take?
Timeline depends on the treatments involved:
-
Whitening or bonding can be completed quickly
-
Veneers/crowns usually take multiple visits
-
Aligners take longer (often months)
We can also phase treatment if you want results in stages.
Will my smile makeover look natural?
Yes—natural-looking results are the goal. We customize shade, shape, and overall smile design so your new smile looks balanced, healthy, and believable.
Does a smile makeover hurt?
Most cosmetic procedures are very manageable. If a treatment requires preparation, we use numbing to keep you comfortable. We can also discuss comfort options if you feel anxious.
Can you do conservative or minimal-prep smile makeovers?
Often, yes. When possible, we choose more conservative options that preserve natural tooth structure—such as whitening, bonding, contouring, or no-prep/minimal-prep veneers when appropriate.
What if I grind or clench my teeth?
You can still be a candidate, but we’ll plan carefully. Grinding can affect longevity of cosmetic work, so we may recommend a custom night guard and select materials and designs that best support your bite.
Is a smile makeover only cosmetic, or can it improve function too?
A smile makeover can improve both. When we correct alignment, spacing, and bite balance, it can make teeth easier to clean, reduce uneven wear, and support a healthier bite.
How much does a smile makeover cost?
Cost depends on which treatments you choose and how many teeth are involved. After an exam and consultation, we’ll provide a clear estimate and review options. Many patients choose to phase treatment based on budget and priorities.
Will insurance cover a smile makeover?
Insurance typically doesn’t cover purely cosmetic treatment. However, if parts of your plan are restorative (such as crowns for damaged teeth), insurance may contribute. We can help you understand what may apply.
