Maybe you've lived with stained, chipped, or misaligned teeth for years, or perhaps your once-beautiful dental work needs refreshing. At McCarl Dental Group, we look at the big picture—not just your teeth, but how they relate to your facial features, skin tone, and even your personality. By thoughtfully combining treatments like whitening, veneers, crowns, or implants, we create balanced, natural-looking results that enhance your appearance while keeping your dental health as the foundation. The best smile makeovers don't look like dental work—they just look like you with a confident, beautiful smile.
Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, your smile makeover is designed specifically for you. We consider your facial proportions, skin tone, lip line, and your personal preferences to create a smile that complements your unique features and matches the level of change you're comfortable with.
Rather than addressing one issue at a time over many months or years, a smile makeover tackles multiple concerns in a coordinated treatment plan. This approach minimizes the total time you spend in the dental chair while ensuring all elements of your smile work together.
While enhancing the appearance of your teeth, we also address functional issues like bite alignment, worn enamel, or missing teeth. This results in a smile that feels as good as it looks and contributes to your long-term oral health.
We start by talking about what you like and don't like about your current smile and what changes you're hoping for. Then we'll complete a thorough examination including photos, digital scans with our iTero scanner, and sometimes 3D imaging with our CBCT scanner to get a complete picture of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw structure.
Using your images and digital scans, we'll show you what's possible and work together to design your ideal smile. This might include creating digital mock-ups or even temporary try-ins so you can "test drive" your new look before making final decisions. You're an active participant in this process—your feedback shapes every aspect of your treatment plan.
Based on your approved plan, we'll map out a treatment sequence that makes sense for your situation and schedule. Some procedures (like whitening) might need to happen before others (like matching veneers to your new tooth color). For complex cases, we might work on different areas of your mouth in phases to make the process more manageable.
Once all procedures are complete, we'll make any final adjustments to ensure everything looks beautiful and feels comfortable. We'll also create a personalized maintenance plan to protect your investment, which might include a night guard if you grind your teeth, custom whitening trays for occasional touch-ups, or a specific home care routine.
The timeline varies based on what your smile needs. Simple makeovers combining whitening and bonding might be completed in just a couple of appointments over a few weeks. More comprehensive makeovers involving multiple procedures like implants, crowns, and veneers typically take 2-6 months from start to finish. During your consultation, we'll outline a clear timeline so you know exactly what to expect.
Since every smile makeover is unique, there's no standard price. The investment depends on which procedures you need and how many teeth are involved. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed breakdown of costs for your specific treatment plan. While smile makeovers are an investment, many patients tell us it was one of the best decisions they've made—not just for their appearance, but for their confidence and overall well-being.
Our approach focuses on creating results that enhance your natural features rather than a cookie-cutter "perfect" smile. We consider factors like your age, face shape, and even your personality when designing your smile. Our patients often tell us that after their makeover, friends and colleagues comment that they look great but can't quite put their finger on what's different—that's the sign of a truly successful smile makeover.
