Smile Makeover

Start With the Smile.

You do not need to know whether you need whitening, Invisalign, bonding, veneers, or restorative treatment before you come in. A smile makeover starts with what you would like to change, then the treatment is planned from there.

Planning the Whole Smile.

A smile is seen in a face, not in a close-up of teeth. Dr. Atassi looks at the lips, facial proportions, how much tooth shows when you speak and smile, and the position and condition of the teeth. When useful, older photographs can also help show how the smile has changed over time. Those details guide the final shape and proportion.
The  Plan

More Than One Treatment May Be Part of It.

A smile makeover may use one of these treatments or several of them. The combination depends on the case.

  • Whitening

    Changes the color of the natural teeth.

  • Invisalign

    Changes tooth position when alignment is part of the plan.

  • Bonding

    Can make smaller changes to shape and proportion.

  • Veneers

    Can change shape, color, and proportion with porcelain.

  • Restorative Dentistry

    Rebuilds teeth when wear, damage, or existing dental work also needs to be addressed.

What  to  Expect

Treatment Can Happen in Phases.

When several things need to change, they do not always happen at once. Alignment or whitening may come first. Restorative work may need to be completed before the final aesthetic details. Dr. Atassi lays out the sequence before treatment begins so you understand what happens first and why.

Questions About Smile Makeovers

A smile makeover is a treatment plan for improving the smile as a whole. It may include whitening, Invisalign, bonding, veneers, restorative dentistry, or a combination.

No. Some smile makeovers do not require veneers at all. The treatment depends on whether the main concern is color, position, shape, worn or damaged teeth, or a combination.

He looks at the smile in the context of the face, including tooth position, proportion, the bite, the lips, and how the teeth show when you speak and smile. He then chooses the treatments that address those specific issues.

The goal is a smile that looks natural in your face. Shape, proportion, shade, and tooth position are planned together rather than choosing one standard look for every patient.

It depends on which treatments are part of the plan. A case involving only whitening or bonding may be shorter, while Invisalign, veneers, or more extensive restorative work can make treatment longer. You receive the sequence and expected timing before treatment begins.

The cost depends on the treatments included in the plan. You receive the recommended treatment, sequence, and cost after Dr. Atassi evaluates your smile.
