Learn moreThinking about a full smile refresh but not sure where to start? A smile makeover is more than a single procedure—it’s a thoughtful plan that sequences cosmetic and restorative steps so your results look stunning and last. At Clermont Family Dentistry, our approach blends artistry, technology, and practical scheduling so your treatment fits real life. Whether you’re tackling discoloration, small chips, gaps, crowding, a gummy smile, or older dental work that doesn’t match, this guide explains how we plan, time, and personalize smile makeovers in Clermont, FL.
A smile makeover can combine teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, clear aligners, gum contouring, and, when needed, implant or crown work to replace or reinforce teeth. Because some steps permanently alter enamel while others simply brighten or reposition teeth, we map the order carefully. For example, we typically complete orthodontic movement with clear aligners before veneers or bonding; we perform whitening before shade-matching veneers and bonding; and we schedule gum contouring before final veneer placement so margins align with your new gumline. This sequence ensures the final appearance—color, symmetry, and proportions—looks cohesive.
Your journey begins with a consultation to understand your goals. Do you want more symmetry? A whiter shade? Smaller gaps? We take photos and radiographs (as appropriate) and discuss options like Cosmetic Dentistry, Porcelain Veneers, Teeth Whitening, Dental Bonding, and Clear Aligners. We’ll also review oral health basics—healthy gums and cavity-free teeth provide the best foundation for cosmetic work.
Color is the canvas for your smile. Because veneers and bonding are color-matched to your current tooth shade, we whiten first when appropriate. Our professional take-home whitening uses custom trays that brighten gradually and predictably, which helps us select veneer/bonding shades with confidence. If you plan to maintain whitening touch-ups, we factor that into the shade selection for veneers so everything blends naturally over time.
If you have minor crowding, rotations, or spacing, clear aligners can refine alignment before veneers or bonding. Aligners help reduce how much enamel we need to modify later. Small improvements in position can also allow for more conservative veneer prep and better bite dynamics—both keys to longevity.
For makeovers that include multiple veneers or bonding, we may use mock-ups/wax-ups to preview lengths and shapes. This lets you “see” proposed changes and gives us precise guides for the lab. We review smile line, midline, tooth width-to-length ratios, incisal edges, and how teeth support the lips for a fuller, youthful appearance—without looking overdone.
If your smile shows more gum than you’d like, laser gum contouring can refine the frame of your teeth. This step typically precedes veneers to ensure the veneer margins meet the new gumline perfectly. When the gummy smile is related to muscle pull or clenching, we may discuss Botox as a complementary option to reduce over-elevation of the upper lip.
Many makeovers combine both—veneers in the “smile zone” and bonding on neighboring teeth for seamless blending.
Once restorations are placed, we fine-tune your bite so chewing forces distribute evenly. If you clench or grind, a custom night guard protects your new smile.
Timelines vary with the number of steps:
We stage these so your smile looks presentable between steps—temporary veneers, refined bonding, and incremental shade improvements keep you confident throughout.
Continue twice-daily brushing, daily flossing, fluoride toothpaste, and professional cleanings. Use a straw for dark beverages, rinse after coffee/wine, and schedule whitening touch-ups as advised. If you have veneers, avoid using teeth as tools and wear that night guard if recommended.
Budget, timeline, and anatomy differ. We’ll help prioritize: maybe it’s whitening + bonding now, veneers later, or aligners first to minimize future prep. Your plan is built around your goals.
