What Is Smile Design?
Smile Design (sometimes called a “smile makeover”) is a customized plan to enhance color, shape, alignment, and gum symmetry using a combination of treatments. Depending on your goals, your plan may include professional whitening, conservative bonding, porcelain veneers, clear aligners, gum contouring, or replacement of missing teeth with implant-supported restorations.
Our Smile Design Process
- Discovery & Digital Records: We discuss your goals and concerns, then capture photos, digital scans, and X-rays as needed to understand tooth proportions, lip dynamics, and bite.
- Design & Preview: Using smile analysis and digital planning, we tailor tooth length, width, and contours to your face. Many patients preview a “trial smile” via 3D mock-ups or temporaries to visualize changes before committing.
- Personalized Treatment Plan: We sequence care for predictable results—for example, whitening first, then alignment or gum refinement, followed by final bonding/veneers or implant crowns where appropriate.
- Minimally Invasive Treatment: We prioritize enamel-preserving methods. When veneers are chosen, preparation is as conservative as possible while ensuring strength and esthetics.
- Finishing & Maintenance: Precise shading and polishing deliver a lifelike finish. You’ll receive home-care guidance, nightguard recommendations when indicated, and follow-ups to protect your investment.

Am I a Candidate?
You may benefit from Smile Design if you have worn, chipped, or discolored teeth; spacing or crowding; small or uneven teeth; or a gummy smile. We’ll review your medical and dental history, evaluate your bite, and discuss the most conservative approach to reach your goals.
Timeline & Cost
Simple refreshes (e.g., whitening plus minor bonding) may take a few weeks. Comprehensive cases involving alignment, gum contouring, and veneers may span several months. Fees vary by the number of teeth treated, materials, and complexity. We’ll provide a transparent estimate and financing options before any treatment begins.
Frequently Asked Questions About Smile Design
Will I have to get veneers?
Not necessarily. Smile Design is customized. Some patients achieve their goals with whitening and bonding alone; others choose a mix that may include veneers or clear aligners. We’ll outline options and the trade-offs of each.
Will my teeth be shaved down?
Our philosophy is minimally invasive. When veneers are recommended, preparation is as conservative as possible—often limited to enamel—to preserve tooth structure while achieving ideal shape and shade.
How long do results last?
With good home care, routine hygiene visits, and recommended protection (such as a nightguard if you clench), bonding and veneers can look great for many years. Whitening maintenance schedules vary by diet and habits.
Can I see my new smile before treatment?
Yes. Digital previews and provisional “trial smiles” let you evaluate esthetics and speech before finalizing. Your feedback guides refinements for a confident outcome.
Is Smile Design covered by insurance?
Purely cosmetic procedures are typically not covered. If a tooth also needs functional restoration, limited benefits may apply. We’ll help you navigate benefits and offer financing.
