How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
A smile makeover uses a combination of cosmetic and restorative treatments to address your entire smile. During your consultation with us, we will examine your teeth and discuss the goals that you have. Then, we will go over the services that are available and put together a treatment plan to help you achieve your goals. For this appointment, we recommend that you bring inspiration photos so we can discuss exactly what you have in mind. Smile makeovers are entirely catered to you.
Smile makeovers in Brookline can involve conservative, one-visit procedures, such as teeth whitening or dental bonding, or they can involve more intensive treatments phased over time. Depending on your needs, Dr. Sasson may discuss replacing missing teeth, closing gaps, straightening misalignments, removing stains, and enhancing the overall impression your smile gives.

Smile Makeover FAQs
Is a Smile Makeover Safe?
Whatever your fears, there’s no need to worry; smile makeovers are entirely safe. These cosmetic procedures are harmless and won’t harm your teeth or gums.
You see, a smile makeover’s procedures don’t affect oral health. Minor ones like teeth whitening or dental bonding lack toxic chemicals; their gels and resin (respectively) won’t damage your grin. As for the more invasive options, veneers and crowns compensate for the enamel they remove. You can trust them to protect your otherwise exposed teeth.
All that said, only some patients are suited for cosmetic dental work. An aesthetic option can prove risky if you have underlying oral health issues. For example, getting a veneer for a decayed tooth would make the decay harder to fix.
How Long is a Smile Makeover?
All in all, a smile makeover’s timeline varies. How long the treatment takes depends on the number and type of procedures it includes. That means you’ll need to consult our dentists for a precise estimate.
For example, some smile makeover procedures only take one dental visit. That especially applies to in-office teeth whitening, dental bonding, and gum recontouring. If your makeover only features those procedures, it could wrap up in one hour.
On the other hand, some smile makeover services can take weeks or months. Things like veneer or crown placement even require several dental visits. As such, our dentists may have to devise a flexible treatment plan that works with a busy schedule.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
Smile makeovers are fairly safe, so almost any adult can qualify. It’s just that some patients may benefit more from the treatment than others.
In particular, patients with many severe smile flaws will get the most out of treatment. Such people will have faults like major tooth chips, fractures, stubborn stains, etc. At the same time, they may suffer from crooked or discolored teeth that make them feel ashamed or depressed. Such patients could also enjoy a makeover’s health benefits since fixing crooked teeth can make oral care easier.
How Can a Smile Makeover Change Your Life?
A smile makeover’s results may look “skin-deep,” but they can greatly improve a patient’s quality of life. The treatment is very worthwhile just on that basis alone.
For instance, you’ll care for your smile more if it looks clean and healthy. That change – including more brushing, more dental checkups, etc. – will improve your oral health. Furthermore, it could prompt you to give up bad oral habits like smoking or nail biting.
As an extra perk, your beautified teeth could make you happier. Knowing they look good will prompt you to smile more, lowering your body’s stress levels as a result. This smiling habit could even boost your immune system.
