What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is an opportunity for us to design a new smile for our patients. It involves several different types of procedures to ensure they get the smile that they deserve. Smile makeovers can be cosmetic and restorative in many aspects of dentistry. Often, we have to build teeth up with dental crowns, change the bite, and restore function. The cosmetic aspect involves creating a new smile design for someone with whiter, bigger, straighter teeth.

What are the procedures involved in a smile makeover?
