Smile Makeover
Are perceived flaws in your smile, such as chips, gaps, and discoloration keeping you from showing your smile to the world? A smile makeover is a personalized treatment that helps patients address their cosmetic concerns and find solutions. Thornton Dental Associates, P.C. helps Washington, DC, patients address their cosmetic concerns through smile makeovers.
What is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a series of procedures customized to meet your cosmetic goals. The goal of a smile makeover is to correct concerns in your smile that are keeping you from enjoying it fully. While better oral health may result from smile makeover procedures, the end goal is purely cosmetic.
What Concerns Can
A Smile Makeover Address?
If you don't love your smile for one reason or another, a cosmetic dentistry solution will likely help. Patients with multiple of these concerns may benefit from a smile makeover:
Discolored Teeth
Professional teeth whitening can be added to your smile makeover to help enhance your pearly whites. If your stains are unaffected by the whitening treatment, we offer veneers to conceal deep stains.
Crooked Teeth
Crooked teeth can make chewing, flossing, and brushing more difficult. Make a cosmetic change and take charge of your oral health by correcting your crooked teeth with Invisalign® or veneers.
Gaps in The Teeth
Gaps can make simple acts, like speaking, more complex and are not preferred aesthetically by many of our patients. Invisalign, veneers, dental implants, and other smile makeover procedures can help close your gap.
Misshapen Teeth
Teeth that don't match up can be aesthetically frustrating and interrupt daily activities, like chewing your food. Veneers are a great way to conceal misshapen teeth for an even smile.
Chipped Teeth
Chipped, cracked, and broken teeth are more susceptible to decay and infections. Protect your oral health with a dental crown, bonding, or a dental implant to repair your smile.
Worn Teeth
If your enamel has been worn down from clenching and grinding your teeth, consider getting veneers to repair your smile and save your remaining tooth roots and structure.
Candidates for Smile Makeovers
Dr. Will Thornton or Dr. Nathan Van der Linden will examine your smile and the state of your oral health to see which smile makeover procedure is right for you. Only a few factors are necessary to qualify for a smile makeover:
Multiple Aesthetic Concerns
A smile makeover combines multiple procedures to help patients reach their desired goals. If you have several aesthetic concerns you want to address, then a smile makeover may be suited for you.
Good Oral Health
Before tackling the cosmetic concerns in your smile, you must fix any oral health problems. Cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues should be dealt with before undergoing a smile makeover.

Our Featured
Smile Makeover Procedures
Our DC doctors are trained to fix many dental concerns that you may have. Some of our popular procedures that patients incorporate into their smile makeover treatment plan include:
Veneers can help conceal imperfections in your smile, such as gaps in the teeth, misshapen teeth, discoloration, chipping, and minor misalignment issues. Our porcelain veneers are made with premium materials that look natural and are durable, just like natural teeth.
Suppose you have stains and discoloration on your teeth from natural factors, like age and genetics, or from environmental factors, like taking certain medications and drinking your morning coffee. In that case, teeth whitening can help brighten your smile. Our professional teeth whitening sessions are gentle and safe while being greatly effective in under an hour.
If you have teeth that are crowded, crooked, or misaligned in some way, Invisalign can help you achieve your desired smile discreetly. As an Invisalign Gold Plus provider, our cosmetic dentists have training and experience that you can rely upon.
If you have minor chips and imperfections in your teeth, dental bonding can help conceal these flaws. Dental bonding is similar to the veneer process, but no enamel needs to be removed, and the treatment is overall more cost-effective. The materials used are not as durable and high-quality as veneers but can be an excellent cosmetic dentistry choice if you're looking for a reversible option.

Cost of Treatment FAQ

What's the cost of a smile makeover?
The cost of your smile makeover treatment plan will be unique to your needs. During your consultation with one of our dentists, we can determine which procedures suit your needs and give you a custom price. The overall cost will depend on the number of procedures you need and what the concerns you're aiming to fix are.

Does insurance cover a smile makeover?

I am a new patient and was referred to this office by a friend. Since the very first intake call, I have been unexpectedly over- impressed by this dental office. I have never once had a reason to say that ever in my life.
