Smile Makeover
What Is a Smile Makeover?
Are you interested in straightening your teeth with Invisalign® and brightening your smile? Have you considered porcelain veneers but worry about how they would look with your current gumline? With a smile makeover, you can choose to combine any number of cosmetic dentistry treatments to customize your new smile in one streamlined process.
Simply put, your smile makeover is whatever you want it to be. The amazing cosmetic results from your makeover can raise your self-confidence, impress others, and dramatically improve the appearance of your smile.
How Can a Smile Makeover Benefit You?
Improved appearance and confidence
Dental flaws and discoloration can make you hesitate to show your smile and let your personality shine. The treatments you receive during a smile makeover can transform your self-image and help you feel free to share your best self with others.
Your own customized smile
Smile makeovers are a truly personalized experience. Work closely with your dentist to build a unique treatment plan and realize your vision of what your new smile will look like.
Treatment on your own terms
When choosing a smile makeover, you decide what treatments you receive and when. If you have a busy schedule, you can easily plan the steps in your smile makeover process around it.
Oral health benefits
Some cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as Invisalign and dental implants, can correct spacing issues, making teeth easier to clean and contributing to better oral health.
Make a Great First Impression
Nearly half of Americans (48%) consider a smile to be the most memorable part of a first impression.
What Can a Smile Makeover Correct?
Our Dearborn, MI, dentists have extensive experience improving dental issues and creating stunning results along the way. These are some of the most common problems that a smile makeover can address:
Many adults feel insecure about the color of their smile. Stains and spotting on the teeth can occur for a number of reasons, from poor oral hygiene to frequent consumption of acidic beverages, and even from the natural aging process. Teeth whitening or veneers can be excellent additions to your smile makeover if one of your goals is a brighter, more youthful smile.
Having excess gum tissue can make teeth appear smaller than they are and give an uneven look to your smile. Our Dearborn dentists can perform gum contouring to refocus attention away from the gums and give your smile an aesthetically pleasing balance. Include gum contouring as part of your smile makeover so that others notice your beautiful teeth before anything else.
Overcrowded, rotated, or poorly spaced teeth can impact appearance, cause discomfort when eating, and make brushing and flossing more difficult. Including Invisalign in your smile makeover plan can gently straighten your teeth over time to give an even look to your smile.
Missing a tooth can affect your confidence and oral health. If a tooth has been missing for an extended period of time, it can weaken the underlying jawbone, cause difficulty when eating and speaking, and contribute to a "sunken" appearance that may make you look older than you actually are. Choosing a dental implant-supported restoration as part of your smile makeover can restore both the look and function of your smile.
Cracks or chips in teeth may not seem like immediate issues, but if left untreated, they can worsen and place the tooth at risk of infection or the need for extraction. Tooth-colored fillings, dental crowns, dental bonding, and veneers are all natural-looking solutions that can mask existing damage and protect your teeth from further harm.

Your Smile, Your Way
Our Dearborn practice offers a range of cosmetic dentistry services, all of which can be effective parts of a smile makeover. Take a look at some of the treatments we can use to transform your smile.
Teeth whitening
Our teeth whitening services can dramatically enhance the color of your smile by eliminating discoloration of the enamel. We offer both in-house whitening treatment and take-home kits with custom-made dental trays for great results on your own schedule.
Porcelain veneers
Many patients choose porcelain veneers to mask deep-set stains, minor misalignment, and other small imperfections. Veneers are a thin, natural-looking solution that can be placed in just two appointments.
Dental bonding
This alternative to veneers can be used to conceal small dental flaws and improve discoloration. We use a curing light to bond a thin layer of durable tooth-colored resin to the surface of your teeth, improving the overall appearance of your smile in just one appointment.
Invisalign
These clear aligners are a top choice for patients who have mild-to-moderate dental misalignment. Your series of customized Invisalign aligners will gradually straighten your teeth with a level of comfort and subtlety that traditional braces cannot provide. The smooth plastic aligners are removable, and they won't irritate the soft tissues of your mouth
Gum contouring
If you feel that your teeth appear disproportionately small due to excessive gum tissue, our dentists can use gum contouring to balance and straighten your gumline. We use gentle, modern laser technology to ensure minimal discomfort and a quick recovery.
Tooth-colored fillings
Metal fillings can draw unwanted attention to your dental work. We use durable, natural-looking filling material that offers a subtle way to repair your teeth after cavity treatment and protect against potential decay.
Dental crowns
Choose a dental crown to guard a cracked or decayed tooth from further damage, or use crowns to enhance the appearance of healthy teeth. Our dental crowns are custom-made by expert dental ceramists to ensure a seamless fit and completely natural appearance.
Implants
Dental implants are the definitive restorative treatment for patients who are missing one or more teeth. With an implant-supported restoration, you can speak and smile freely again while preventing the jaw atrophy that occurs in the absence of tooth roots.
A Clear Path to Your New Smile
At Dearborn Family Dentistry, we believe in providing the most efficient, effective dental care possible. Because we perform all treatments under one roof, our patients experience unparalleled comprehensive care. We can fabricate custom restorations in-office, providing you with time-efficient, convenient treatment.

Caring for Your New Smile
It is important that patients who choose a smile makeover schedule regular checkups and cleanings to maintain their oral health and appearance. Because every smile makeover is unique, we can recommend different methods of upkeep depending on your plan. Certain smile makeover treatments, such as porcelain veneers, are more successfully maintained by using a soft-bristled toothbrush and alcohol-free mouthwash. Your dentist in Dearborn will provide personalized instruction on how to best care for your smile.
The Cost of Treatment
Because every smile makeover is a completely customized process, it will be priced differently for each patient. Factors that can affect your final cost include the number and type of procedures you choose and any potential preparatory work you may require. While cosmetic treatments are not covered by insurance, medically necessary procedures typically qualify for some level of coverage. We work with CareCredit, a third-party lender that can help you manage out-of-pocket expenses with low- or no-interest loans.
These treatments are a lasting investment that can pay dividends in your personal and professional life. Many patients are thrilled by how their new smiles have boosted their confidence and opened new doors in all aspects of life.

Your Comfort Is Our Priority

I haven't been to a dentist in over 10 years because of bad experiences I've had in the past, but this dental office brought back my confidence with going to the dentist. I contacted them and explained that I had a toothache. They got me in as soon as I had the time to get to the office. The staff there was super friendly and reassuring. I explained to them my anxieties about going to the dentist, and they did everything the could to make me feel at ease and comfortable. I will definitely be back for my follow up visits and future cleanings and treatments. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Just left the office and I felt compelled to write a review right away, I have always been terrified of the dentist (bad experience with a filling when I was younger) I am so happy to say that After leaving here tonight, I no longer feel that same fear. Dr. Mark and patti were so great and reassuring and took such excellent care of me. I actually look forward to going back and I can confidently say I made the right decision in putting my teeth in their care. Highly recommend this office. The whole staff is just great.
