Treatment
Smile Makeovers
A complete smile designed around your face, your proportions, and the way you actually want to feel when you laugh in a photograph.
A smile makeover is not a single procedure. It is a plan. Dr. Amera studies your face, your bite, your gumline, and the way your lips move when you speak, then combines whichever treatments are needed to bring the whole thing into harmony. For one person that may be eight veneers. For another it is whitening, two bonded edges, and six months of aligners. The treatments are the vocabulary; the design is the work.
It begins with a conversation and a set of photographs and digital scans. From those, we build a design and show it to you before anything is prepared, so you are approving a smile rather than hoping for one. Once you are happy with the shape, length, and shade, we sequence the treatment into comfortable visits and keep you looking at the plan the whole way through.
Patients tell us the change is not really about teeth. It is about stopping the habit of covering your mouth, saying yes to the group photo, and no longer editing your own face out of your life. A smile makeover is a considerable investment of trust, and it repays it every single day.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Smile Makeovers.
People who feel their smile no longer matches them: worn or uneven edges, teeth that have darkened with age, old cosmetic work that has started to show its age, spacing, or a smile that photographs differently than it feels. It also suits patients who have had good dentistry done over many years and now want it all brought into one coherent design.
Unhurried. A consultation and records appointment, a design review where you see and shape the proposed result, then treatment visits scheduled around your life. You will always know what is happening next and why, and nothing irreversible begins until you have approved the design.
It depends entirely on the plan. A whitening and bonding refresh can be finished in two visits. A veneer case is usually a few weeks from design approval to final placement. When orthodontics or implants are part of the sequence, the timeline extends to several months, and we will map that out for you honestly at the start.
Cosmetic dentistry works best on a healthy foundation, so any active decay or gum inflammation is addressed first. Some designs involve permanently reshaping enamel, which is why we spend so long on the plan before we begin. Cosmetic treatment is generally not covered by dental insurance, and we will be clear about investment before you commit to anything.
Most patients return to normal the same day. Teeth can feel briefly sensitive to temperature after preparation or whitening, and it takes a few days to stop noticing new edges with your tongue. We will see you shortly after the final placement to refine anything that needs it, because the last five percent is what makes a smile look effortless.
