If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I wish I could fix everything about my smile,” you’re not alone. Whether it’s discoloration, uneven teeth, spacing, or gum issues, it’s common to want more than one improvement. The good news? You don’t have to settle for a one-size-fits-all solution. Today’s cosmetic dentistry allows for beautifully customized smile transformations by combining multiple treatments—each designed to address a specific aspect of your smile.
What Is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan that combines two or more cosmetic or restorative dental procedures to enhance the overall appearance, function, and health of your smile. It’s not just about looking better—it’s about feeling more confident, more aligned, and more like yourself.
Which Treatments Can Be Combined?
Here are some of the most common and effective combinations used in smile transformations:
1. Teeth Whitening + Veneers or Bonding
- Why combine? Whitening brightens your natural teeth, while veneers or bonding correct shape, chips, and symmetry. Doing both ensures your entire smile has a cohesive, radiant look.
- Pro tip: Always whiten first—then match the veneers or bonding to your new shade.
2. Invisalign (or Braces) + Cosmetic Contouring or Veneers
- Why combine? Straightening your teeth with clear aligners sets the foundation. Once alignment is corrected, you can further refine the smile with shaping or veneers to achieve perfect balance.
- Bonus: Invisalign can prevent future wear, crowding, and bite issues.
3. Gum Contouring + Veneers or Crowns
- Why combine? A gummy or uneven gumline can throw off your whole smile. Laser gum contouring reshapes the frame of your teeth, and veneers or crowns finish the transformation with perfect proportion and symmetry.
4. Implants + Crowns + Whitening
- Why combine? If you’ve lost a tooth or had old dental work, implants restore function while cosmetic crowns and whitening complete the aesthetic transformation.
- Result: A natural, full smile that feels just like your own—only better.
How Does the Process Work?
- Consultation & Digital Smile Design: Dr. Anjali Rajpal at Beverly Hills Dental Arts will evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and use photos, scans, or digital mockups to show you what’s possible.
- Treatment Planning: A customized plan is created based on your needs, timeline, and budget. Some procedures can be done in one visit; others are spaced out for best results.
- Step-by-Step Transformation: Your treatments are sequenced for ideal outcomes—for example, doing orthodontics or whitening before veneers, or reshaping gums before finalizing restorations.
