Smile Makeovers / Full Mouth Planning
For patients considering more than one cosmetic or restorative treatment, a smile makeover approach allows everything to be planned together, rather than addressed one treatment at a time.
Care that starts with you.
Overview
What you should know
This coordinated planning process helps ensure the various elements of your treatment work well together, both functionally and aesthetically.
What's Involved
A smile makeover consultation at our practice generally includes:
- In-depth consultation — your dentist discusses your goals, concerns, and any previous dental history in detail.
- Comprehensive assessment — including digital photography, X-rays, and a digital scan where appropriate, to build a complete picture of your teeth and bite.
- Treatment planning — your dentist develops a coordinated plan, which may combine treatments such as whitening, veneers, bonding, crowns, or implants, depending on your individual needs.
- Staged treatment — treatment is carried out in a logical sequence, which your dentist will explain clearly from the outset, including expected timeframes.
- Review — your progress is reviewed throughout treatment, with adjustments made as needed.
Is this right for you?
Who It's Suitable For
A smile makeover approach may suit patients considering multiple treatments, those with more complex cosmetic or functional concerns, or anyone who would prefer a single, coordinated plan rather than making decisions treatment-by-treatment. Your dentist will discuss whether this approach is appropriate for your situation, or whether a single, standalone treatment may better suit your needs and goals.
What to Expect During the Process
Because a smile makeover can involve multiple treatments and visits, your dentist will provide a clear overview of the proposed plan, expected timeframe, and what each stage involves before you commit to proceeding. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions and adjust the plan as needed at each stage.
