Smile Makeovers at Sycamore Dentistree
Whether you have one thing you have always wanted to fix or a laundry list of concerns, a smile makeover starts with a conversation. We listen, evaluate, and then map out the combination of treatments that will get you the result you are looking for — without pushing you into anything unnecessary or out of reach.
Common Treatments Included in a Smile Makeover
Every makeover is different. We draw from a full range of cosmetic and restorative services to address your specific concerns.
- Teeth Whitening A bright, even shade is often the first step in a smile transformation.
- Veneers or Bonding To correct shape, size, chips, or discoloration across multiple teeth.
- Gum Contouring When the gumline is uneven or excessive, reshaping frames the teeth better.
- Crowns or Implants For teeth that are too damaged or missing to address with cosmetic treatment alone.
- Clear Aligners Straightening the teeth before or alongside other cosmetic work for optimal results.
How We Approach Your Makeover
We start with a thorough exam, photos, and a candid conversation about what you like and do not like about your smile. From there, we present options with honest input on what will work best for your situation. We never oversell — and we always consider the long-term health of your teeth alongside the aesthetics.
Your Smile, Your Timeline
Not every makeover happens at once. We are comfortable helping you phase treatment over time in a way that fits your schedule and budget. What matters is that each step moves you closer to the smile you want.
Smile Makeover FAQ
- What is included in a smile makeover?
- It depends entirely on your goals. A smile makeover can include whitening, veneers, bonding, gum contouring, crowns, implants, aligners, or any combination of these. We build the plan around what you actually need.
- How long does a smile makeover take?
- Timeline varies widely. Some makeovers are complete in a few appointments; others are phased over several months. We discuss realistic timing upfront so you know what to expect.
- How much does a smile makeover cost?
- Cost depends on which treatments are involved. We provide transparent, detailed estimates before any work begins and discuss financing options to help make it manageable.
- Will my smile look natural?
- That is always our goal. We design results that look like a genuinely healthy, attractive version of your smile — not overdone or artificial. Dr. Neglia's background in art and ceramics informs a strong eye for natural-looking cosmetic results.
- Do I need to fix everything at once?
- Not at all. We can prioritize and phase your treatment over time. Many patients start with one or two changes and build from there.
- Is a smile makeover only for people with major dental problems?
- No. Some patients come in with one or two cosmetic concerns that are easy to address. Others have more complex situations. Either way, we can help.
- Will insurance cover any part of a smile makeover?
- Cosmetic treatments are generally not covered by insurance, but restorative components — like crowns or implants — may be partially covered. We help you understand what applies to your plan.
- What is the first step?
- Schedule a consultation. We will take photos, review your existing dental health, and have an honest conversation about your goals, options, and what results are realistically achievable.
- Can I get a preview of what my smile will look like?
- In many cases, yes. We can use digital imaging to show you a simulation of your result, and in some cases create a temporary mock-up to let you see and feel the change before committing.
- Am I a candidate for a smile makeover if I have gum disease?
- We address oral health concerns first before beginning any cosmetic work. Healthy gums and teeth are the foundation for lasting cosmetic results. We will make sure you are in good shape before we start.
