A smile makeover is a custom care plan designed to bring you the smile you desire. It’s a combination of treatments involving both restorative and cosmetic dentistry.

Different techniques can be incorporated, from periodontal surgeries to dental implants to teeth whitening and everything in between.

Most importantly, at Stead Willis DMD, you’ll have a personal consultant to help design your smile.

What are the benefits of smile design?

Improved oral health

The process identifies and corrects any underlying oral issues, improving your oral health. This means resolving cavities, bite issues, jaw pains, and other things that may be detracting from your quality of life.

Confidence

People feel good about their appearance when they are happy with their smiles. We do our best to make sure your smile is something you’ll be proud of – so you never feel like you have to hide it again.

Aesthetics

A whiter and straighter smile instantly improves a person’s appearance.

A better smile is often associated with success, even if only through the confidence and improved social bearing it provides

A smile makeover doesn’t have to be just cosmetic; we can also restore the function of your natural teeth and replace anything that may be missing.

A simple three-step guide to your perfect smile

Step one

Before getting into further stages of treatment, we’ll make sure you have a clean bill of oral health.

We’ll start by cleaning and prepping your teeth to remove any plaque, followed by a complete oral examination.

During this initial evaluation, we’ll look at your oral health, jaw alignment, and facial structure.

Before we start anything, we’ll talk to you about treatment plans and educate you about your options. Better yet, we’ll help you preview your new smile, so you’ll know what to expect ahead of time.

Step two

Now, we create a treatment plan. The extent of work will depend on the condition of your smile and your desired outcome.

Step three

This is where your smile makeover journey begins. This step looks different for everyone, but we’ll be with you every step of the way to make sure you’re 100% comfortable and confident.
