During your life, you may have experienced accidents, dental problems, and other difficulties that made your teeth less than perfect.

A smile makeover may include laser teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, Invisalign treatment, and replacing old metal fillings with composite resin. It may also include restorative procedures, such as bridges or crowns, to fill in a missing tooth or teeth.

Am I a candidate for a smile makeover?
A smile makeover may be helpful if you want to improve the appearance of your teeth or if you need multiple cosmetic or restorative procedures. Our team will customize your smile makeover treatment to meet your goals and concerns, and it may consist of teeth bleaching to correct discoloration and stains on your enamel.
Other cosmetic procedures that could be part of your plan are bonding and contouring or veneers to correct the shape and length of your teeth and to cover small gaps. Restorations such as bridges and crowns may be suggested to replace a missing tooth or teeth, and at Dlight Dental we offer custom restorations to ensure they match your regular teeth for a seamless look.
Before you have any cosmetic treatments, our team will need to make certain that your teeth and gums are healthy. If you have any restrictive oral health problems, such as a misaligned bite or periodontal disease, then this will have to be addressed first.
What can I expect from a smile makeover?
Each smile makeover at Dlight Dental is personalized, so one of our dentists will go over what to expect throughout your treatment plan, such as the number of visits you might need or how long each treatment might take. They can help you plan your appointment(s) to complete all of the procedures in your makeover.
Local anesthesia will be needed during a few of your treatments, although other sedation options may be suggested if you need additional help relaxing due to dental fears or anxieties. During your smile makeover, our team will be happy to help you feel more comfortable or answer any of your questions.
What to expect after a smile makeover
