A comprehensive, personalized plan combining multiple treatments for your ideal smile.
A smile makeover combines two or more cosmetic dental treatments into a coordinated plan designed around your unique goals, facial features, and lifestyle. Rather than a single procedure, it's a full smile redesign — the result of a collaborative process between you and Dr. Burton to create a smile you'll love for years to come.
Common Smile Makeover Combinations
Invisalign + whitening + bonding — alignment, brightness, and fine-tuning
Veneers + whitening — color and shape transformation of front teeth
Crowns + veneers — restoring damaged back teeth while transforming the front
Gum recontouring + veneers — correcting a "gummy smile" and reshaping the teeth
Whitening + bonding — brightening and repairing chips in a single sequence
The Smile Design Process
Every smile makeover begins with a thorough consultation — Dr. Burton listens to what you love and don't love about your current smile, reviews photographs, takes digital records, and discusses realistic outcomes. We use digital smile design tools to preview potential results. From there, treatments are sequenced in the correct clinical order (alignment before restoration, whitening before bonding, etc.) to produce the most cohesive, beautiful result.
Starting with Your Goals
We start every makeover consultation with one question: what do you want your smile to look like? Not what procedures you want — but what you want the outcome to feel and look like. Bring photos of smiles you admire. Tell us what you've always wanted to change. From there, Dr. Burton will design the most efficient, beautiful path to your ideal smile.
Treatment Sequencing
Getting the sequence right is critical in a multi-treatment makeover. Orthodontic alignment (Invisalign) should be completed before restorations. Whitening should be done before composite bonding or veneer shade selection. Any structural issues (decay, gum disease) must be resolved before cosmetic work begins. Implants require osseointegration time. Dr. Burton plans the full sequence at the outset so there are no detours.
Financing Your Smile Makeover
A comprehensive smile makeover is a significant investment — but it's also one of the most enduring. We offer flexible financing through CareCredit and Cherry Financing with monthly payment plans that make your makeover accessible on your timeline. HSA/FSA funds can be used for any treatment with a functional component. We provide a detailed cost breakdown and discuss phasing options at your consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends entirely on which treatments are included. A simple two-treatment makeover (whitening + bonding) can be completed in a few appointments over a few weeks. A comprehensive makeover involving Invisalign + implants + veneers can take 12–18 months from start to finish. Dr. Burton will give you a realistic timeline at your consultation — and we'll make the interim stages look great too.
That's exactly what the consultation is for. Come in with your goals, your concerns, and any photos of smiles you admire. Dr. Burton will conduct a comprehensive exam, take photographs and digital records, and recommend the treatments that will most efficiently achieve your goals. You'll leave with a clear picture of your options and a prioritized treatment plan.
Often both. Misaligned teeth are harder to clean and more prone to uneven wear. Chips and cracks can progress to larger fractures if untreated. Replacing missing teeth preserves jawbone and prevents shifting of remaining teeth. Many patients find that a smile makeover resolves functional issues (sensitivity, jaw pain, bite problems) while simultaneously transforming their appearance.
A "smile makeover" simply means a coordinated cosmetic plan — it doesn't require transforming your entire smile. If you have one or two specific concerns, we focus the plan on those. There's no minimum number of treatments. Our goal is always to achieve your goals with the most conservative, efficient approach possible.
