A Smile Makeover is a unique dental process that helps you digitally design the smile you have always wanted. However, not all Smile Makeovers are purely cosmetic! While Smile Makeovers can be sought purely for the purpose of an aesthetic enhancement, MANY patients choose to have a Smile Makeover to improve the function and overall health of their teeth.

Why have our clients chosen a smile makeover?

What if I don’t know the smile I want?​

Technology allows us to design a natural look to help complement your features.​
During your visit, we’ll take x-rays, digital 3D scans, photographs and videos to get a baseline of your teeth and facial form. This helps us create a new smile that looks natural, and complements your features, personality and skin tone. From there, the Smile Makeover team will digitally design your smile while taking into account the established relationship between your speech, teeth, lips and smile. This is done using CAD and CAM technology and modeling software.

Unique Smile Makeover Experience​

First things first, you and your dentist will talk about concerns and expectations. Our team will map out the various ways you can get the smile that you want, while also taking into consideration your budget and how quickly you want the transformation.

We want to make sure you’re happy, so you will actually get to try on your smile before any work begins. This allows you to go home and get feedback from your friends and family. And if you aren’t happy, we can easily adjust things until we arrive at the look you want.

What does a Smile Makeover cost?

Pricing upfront. Different plans to fit your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions​

The process will depend on what you’re trying to achieve and how many rounds of changes you need. If there are no implants and aligners involved and you’re happy with the design, then you can expect a smile makeover in about 4-6 weeks.

For cases where aligners or implants are required, your treatment can take longer.

We have a complimentary comfort menu to make sure you have what you need during your visit. If for any reason you do feel any pain or discomfort, you can inform our dentist and they will provide options to help make your experience more comfortable.

During the Smile Makeover process, you may have to be more cautious when it comes to what you eat, as well as your hygiene. However, most patients can eat and go about life normally once the process is done. But don’t worry, your dentist will give you all the care instructions and pointers you’ll need to care for your smile.

After consultation with you, we will build a custom treatment plan that fits your schedule and budget. We will present this plan to you at your smile try-in appointment. It is at this stage that you can decide whether or not to go ahead with the treatment plan.
