The confidence that comes with a smile you are genuinely proud of starts with the right plan.
If chips, staining, gaps, or alignment issues have been quietly bothering you for longer than you care to admit, you are not alone and you are not out of options. A smile makeover is a fully customized treatment plan that brings together the cosmetic and restorative procedures your smile actually needs, in the right order, so every part of the result works together. Part of our cosmetic dentistry services at Advanced Dental Solutions, your plan starts with an honest evaluation of where your smile is today and a clear roadmap to where you want it to be.
What a Smile Makeover Can Address
Most patients come in with more than one concern, which is exactly what a smile makeover is designed to handle. Staining and discoloration that has not responded to over-the-counter products, chips, cracks, and worn edges, gaps or uneven spacing, missing teeth, misaligned teeth, and an uneven or excessive gum line can all be treated within a single coordinated plan. Evaluating everything together means the sequence of treatments is built around the best overall result, not just the most obvious starting point.
How It Works
- Consultation: Dr. Omid, Dr. Nejad, or Dr. Sullivan examines your teeth, gums, and bite, reviews digital photos, and listens to your goals before recommending any treatment.
- Customized plan: You receive a sequenced treatment plan that outlines every procedure, the order it should happen in, and a realistic timeline.
- Treatment: Each procedure is completed as planned, with appropriate time between phases for healing and assessment where needed.
- Follow-up: After your final appointment, follow-up visits confirm your results are stable and meeting your expectations.
Some smile makeovers are complete in a few visits. Cases involving aligners, implants, or veneers are typically spread across several months, with each phase fully complete before the next begins.
Procedures Commonly Included in a Smile Makeover
The treatments in your plan depend entirely on what your smile needs. These are the most common procedures included:
Teeth Whitening
A dramatically brighter smile often starts here. Professional whitening removes deep stains well beyond what at-home products can achieve and is frequently used as an opening or finishing step in a broader plan. Learn about teeth whitening
Dental Veneers
A dramatically brighter smile often starts here. Professional whitening removes deep stains well beyond what at-home products can achieve and is frequently used as an opening or finishing step in a broader plan. Learn about teeth whitening
Dental Bonding
Minor chips, small gaps, and shape irregularities can often be corrected with bonding in a single visit. Tooth-colored resin is applied and sculpted to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
Invisalign
Alignment is typically addressed before any restorations so that veneers or crowns are placed around your corrected bite. Invisalign is the most discreet way to straighten teeth and integrates naturally into a broader smile makeover plan. Learn about Invisalign
Dental Implants
Missing teeth affect both the appearance and the function of your smile. Implants replace the tooth at the root level, providing a permanent, natural-looking result that preserves proper spacing and bite alignment. Learn about dental implants
Gum Contouring
An uneven or excessive gum line can make teeth appear shorter or throw off the balance of your smile. Contouring reshapes the tissue to create a more symmetrical frame for your teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Smile Makeovers
Timeline depends on which procedures are included. A plan built around whitening and bonding may be finished in a few weeks. Cases involving veneers, Invisalign, or implants typically take several months because each phase needs to be fully complete before the next can begin. Your treatment plan will include a realistic timeline for your specific situation before any work starts.
Often both. Correcting alignment makes it easier to clean your teeth and gums thoroughly. Replacing missing teeth with implants prevents adjacent teeth from drifting and helps maintain proper bite alignment. Addressing chips and worn enamel early reduces the risk of larger restorative problems down the road. The aesthetic and functional benefits tend to reinforce each other.
Yes, and for many patients that is the most practical approach. Some procedures require a specific sequence regardless, such as completing alignment before placing veneers. Phasing treatment also makes it straightforward to spread the cost across appointments. Your plan will reflect what is clinically appropriate and what works for your schedule.
It is not, and this is one of the most common things patients say at their first consultation. Enamel wear and staining accumulate over time, but most concerns are entirely addressable. Patients who come in after years of delay are often surprised by how much can be improved. The only way to know exactly where you stand is to come in for an evaluation.
