A smile makeover goes beyond fixing a single issue. It’s a comprehensive approach to creating the smile you’ve always wanted. At Andover Family Dentistry in Andover, KS, Dr. Howell combines multiple cosmetic and restorative treatments to address every aspect of your smile, from color and alignment to shape and proportion.
Whether you want subtle improvements or a dramatic transformation, we’ll create a personalized plan that brings your vision to life.
Understanding Your Smile & Your Goals
Your smile makeover begins with a thorough assessment. Dr. Howell evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, and facial features to understand what’s working and what needs improvement.
We’ll discuss what you like and don’t like about your current smile, what you hope to achieve, and any functional concerns you have. This conversation helps us create a treatment plan that’s tailored to your unique needs and aesthetic preferences.
Combining Treatments For The Best Results
Most smile makeovers involve multiple procedures working together to create a cohesive, beautiful result.
Common treatments include:
- Teeth whitening for a brighter, more youthful appearance
- Porcelain veneers to reshape and enhance front teeth
- Crowns to restore damaged or heavily filled teeth
- Cosmetic bonding for minor repairs and enhancements
- Orthodontics to correct alignment and spacing
- Gum contouring to improve proportions and symmetry
Dr. Howell will recommend the specific combination of treatments that best suits your goals, timeline, and budget.
Addressing Color, Shape, & Alignment
A beautiful smile is balanced and proportionate. Dr. Howell considers color, shape, and alignment to create results that look natural and enhance your features.
Whitening treatments brighten stains and discoloration. Veneers and crowns can mask permanent staining. Bonding, veneers, and crowns can reshape teeth that are too short, too long, chipped, or irregularly shaped. Orthodontics or veneers can correct minor misalignment, gaps, and spacing issues.
Visualizing Your New Smile
We use digital smile design technology to show you what your transformed smile will look like before treatment begins. This visualization helps you understand your treatment plan, make informed decisions, and feel confident about your results.
Seeing your future smile helps us work together to refine the design until it’s exactly what you want.
Personalized To Your Vision
No two smile makeovers are the same. Dr. Howell takes the time to understand your personal style, preferences, and goals to ensure your new smile reflects who you are.
Whether you prefer a bold, dramatic change or subtle refinement, we’ll create a plan that aligns with your vision and enhances your natural beauty.
Timeline & Phases Of Treatment
Smile makeovers typically take several weeks to a few months, depending on the complexity of your case and the treatments involved.
Dr. Howell will create a step-by-step treatment plan that addresses foundational issues first, sequences procedures in the most efficient order, and delivers results as quickly as your unique situation allows.
Maintaining Your Beautiful Results
Once your smile makeover is complete, maintaining your results is simple.
To protect your investment:
- Brush and floss daily
- Avoid staining foods and drinks if you’ve had whitening or veneers
- Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
- Visit us regularly for cleanings and checkups
With proper care, your smile makeover can last for many years.
