Why Smile Makeovers Matter
Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you. Research from the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) reveals that healthy teeth and gums are essential for a confident smile and play a key role in preventing chronic disease.
Smile makeovers matter because they:
- Address multiple dental concerns in one plan.
- Restore oral health while enhancing esthetics.
- Offer long-lasting improvements for both function and appearance.
Common issues treated with smile makeovers include:
- Tooth discolouration.
- Chips and cracks.
- Uneven or crooked teeth.
- Gaps between teeth.
- Worn-down enamel.
A smile makeover, sometimes referred to as smile restoration, smile reconstruction, or smile rejuvenation, is a custom-designed group of cosmetic dental procedures intended to provide a comprehensive change to the appearance of a smile. Smile makeovers can range from simple teeth whitening to porcelain crowns on twenty-eight teeth.
What to Expect at Southcentre Dental
Smile makeovers involve several steps, customized to your needs:
- Initial Consultation
The first step in your smile makeover involves running a few diagnostic tests to get to the “root” of the problems. Our dentist will take a series of digital intraoral images and X-rays. You’ll be able to view the results with our dentist on a large, 42-inch TV monitor, and we’ll identify the specific areas that need treatment
If you like, you can also bring in pictures or screenshots to show the kind of smile makeover you’re looking for. Do keep in mind that every person has a unique dental structure.
- Treatment Planning
Together, we review cosmetic and restorative options such as veneers, crowns, whitening, Invisalign®, or bonding. A preview of your future smile may be available through digital imaging. - Preparation
Smile makeover treatments are patient-specific and can be as simple as a couple of appointments for a cleaning and some whitening, or as complex as several months of treatment, including various phases of diagnosis and fine-tuning esthetics. - Final Results
When your cosmetic dental treatments are finished, or as they are completed, depending on the length of your smile makeover plan, our team will inform you about the ongoing maintenance and care required to keep your smile looking beautiful for years to come. - Maintenance Plan
We provide at-home care tips and schedule follow-ups to help you maintain your results.
Link Between Oral & Overall Health
- Gum Health: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports nearly half (42%) of all adults aged 30 years and older have periodontitis. Severe periodontitis impacts about 8% of adults. Treating gum issues as part of a makeover supports both oral and heart health.
- Nutrition: Restoring worn or missing teeth improves chewing, supporting better nutrition. Poor oral hygiene, diabetes, and smoking are all associated with having serious gum disease.
- Confidence and Stress Reduction: According to Harvard Medical School, smiling more can actually improve your mood. Research has found that just as frowning can make you feel sadder and scowling can make you feel angrier, the simple act of smiling can boost your mood.
By addressing both esthetics and function, smile makeovers support your overall well-being.
How Often / Who Needs Smile Makeovers
Smile makeovers are designed for people who want more than a single cosmetic fix. They’re ideal for:
- Smile makeovers can benefit patients who have difficulty chewing or discomfort due to cracked, worn, or missing teeth. Restorative treatments like veneers, implants, or crowns can restore function and make eating enjoyable again.
- A smile makeover is ideal for individuals with more than one cosmetic concern, such as stained, chipped, or misaligned teeth. Whether you want a subtle enhancement or a dramatic transformation, our dentist will create a custom treatment plan that fits your vision and lifestyle.
How often do you need a smile makeover?
- Most patients only need a comprehensive makeover once.
- Specific treatments (like whitening) may be repeated every year or two to maintain brightness.
- Veneers, crowns, and other restorations often last 10 years or longer with proper care.

Common Questions About Smile Makeovers
What treatments are included in a smile makeover?
- Whitening Discolored Teeth: Yellowed teeth can be brightened with services like teeth whitening, crowns, implants, or veneers. If you have amalgam or silver fillings, they can also be replaced with tooth-coloured composite fillings to create a more consistent, bright smile.
- Repairing Teeth with Crowns and Veneers: Crowns and veneers are ideal for repairing cracked, chipped, or discolored teeth where the root is still healthy. Crowns restore the tooth’s shape and function, while veneers are a suitable choice for visible front teeth.
- Replacing Missing Teeth with Dental Implants and Bridges: A missing tooth can lead to complications like bone loss, tooth decay, and bite changes. Dental implants, bridges, or dentures can restore your appearance and oral health. Implants or bridges work well for teeth that are not visible, while veneers can be used on visible teeth.
- Repairing Your Gums for a Lovely Smile: Unhealthy gums can detract from a beautiful smile. Our dentist can address a “gummy smile” by removing excess tissue. If your gums have receded, a dentist can use pinhole surgery to cover more of the tooth. Gum disease can also be treated with antibiotics and then the gums can be re-contoured to enhance your smile.
- Correcting Misalignment: Proper alignment is essential for a symmetrical smile. Issues like overlapping teeth or large gaps can be fixed with orthodontic appliances like braces or Invisalign, as well as veneers and other restorations.
Restoring the Optimum Length of the Teeth: Aging, teeth grinding, or chewing hard objects can cause teeth to become short. The ideal tooth length can be restored using porcelain veneers or composite bonding
How much does a smile makeover cost?
The cost of a smile makeover depends entirely on your dental practitioner and the location where you’re getting treatment. If you have additional problems like cavities or gum disease, your dentist will treat these first, which can increase the final cost. Extensive procedures like pinhole gum repair or dental implants will also add to the expense.
For a more accurate estimate of a smile makeover, we encourage you to book a free consultation so we can better determine what treatments you need and want.
Do results look natural?
Yes. Trusted dental materials mimic natural enamel. Your smile makeover is designed to look beautiful yet natural.
Will insurance cover a smile makeover?
Insurance may cover parts of the makeover if treatments address health concerns (like crowns for damaged teeth). Cosmetic-only treatments are usually not covered.
