What Dental Services Can Be Used in a Smile Makeover?
There are several factors considered when creating your treatment plan depending on your individual needs and the goals you want to achieve. You might be a candidate for 1 or more procedures, including:
- Porcelain Veneers: A thin shell covers the entire front surface of a tooth, instantly improving its color, size, shape, and proportion. The minimally invasive treatment produces drastic results that can last for a decade or longer with the right aftercare.
- Tooth-Colored Fillings: Metal fillings don’t need to cause an eyesore when you smile. Tooth-colored fillings are customized to match your enamel when treating cavities.
- Cosmetic Bonding: Also called dental bonding, the procedure uses a composite resin material to improve the color, size, and shape of your teeth. It’s a noninvasive solution to correct your aesthetic concerns.
- Teeth Whitening: Turn back the hands of time and get your teeth as much as 8 shades brighter with a professional whitening treatment.
- Gum Recontouring: If your teeth appear shorter than average, we can reveal more of their surfaces with gum recontouring.

Will dental insurance cover my smile makeover?
Typically, smile makeovers are not covered by dental insurance plans because they’re cosmetic in nature. However, some plans may pay for at least a portion of the cost of certain restorative or orthodontic procedures that you may receive during your makeover, like ClearCorrect, crowns and inlays and onlays. The best way to learn whether your benefits can apply to your treatment is to contact your dental insurance company directly.
If you are uninsured or underinsured, you may be able to benefit from signing up for our Dental Membership Plan. It covers all of your basic preventive treatments throughout the year and includes a 15% discount on all other services.
Can I see my smile makeover results ahead of time?
We don’t want you to feel like committing to a smile makeover seems like a gamble, because it isn’t! Our science and treatment recommendations are rooted in our expertise and experience serving countless other patients. However, to help you envision what your smile will look like after the treatment before committing to it, we utilize smile design technology. This creates a full-color, photorealistic digital model of your mouth that provides you with a visual aid to show you what each step of your smile makeover will change.
How long is a smile makeover?
Are you wondering how long it will take to achieve your smile goals? The anticipated timeline depends significantly on your unique situation, so our team can’t provide more detailed information until after your initial consultation.
Some treatments, such as dental bonding, teeth whitening, or same-day dental crowns, can be provided in a single visit that lasts only an hour or two. Other services, including porcelain veneers or replacing missing teeth, can require multiple appointments over several weeks or months to complete.
If you have an important upcoming event that you want to look your best for, please let us know during your consultation so we can take that into consideration when building your personalized treatment plan.
Does getting a smile makeover hurt?
Many patients experience anxiety around getting any sort of dental work done, and smile makeovers are no exception. Your treatment might involve one or multiple procedures, and it’s natural to worry that they might hurt.
Thankfully, most cosmetic procedures are considered non-invasive because there’s usually no need for numbing or needles. However, it’s possible to develop some temporary sensitivity after certain treatments. For instance, getting veneers and dental crowns usually involves removing a small amount of enamel for them to fit correctly, which allows sensation to travel more easily through the lower layer of dentin and into the tender nerves inside your teeth.
How long does cosmetic dentistry last?
The longevity of your results depends on the different procedures you underwent and how well you maintain your smile. Some treatments, like teeth whitening, only last a few months or years before requiring a touch-up, while others, like veneers or dental bonding, can last 10+ years if cared for correctly.
Usually, you can help preserve the outcome by implementing positive dental hygiene practices. For instance, you should brush and floss twice daily to remove plaque and bacteria. Additionally, visiting our team in Daytona Beach for a routine checkup and cleaning every six months enables us to monitor your current condition and catch and treat any recently developed areas of concern.
Is there an age limit on smile makeovers?
Are you worried that you are too young or old to undergo the procedures required to remake your smile? Fortunately, these services are available to patients of any age, although many cosmetic treatments aren’t recommended for younger children.
Otherwise, your age doesn’t necessarily determine whether you can undergo different treatments, but your current dental condition might. If you have a pre-existing issue, like tooth decay or gum disease, it could potentially interfere with the results. As a result, our team will examine your mouth and treat any problems before proceeding with your elected services.
