Smile Makeovers in Clinton, NJ | Clinton Dental Group
What is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover typically involves a combination of two or more cosmetic dentistry and restorative treatments to enhance the appearance of your smile.
These treatments may include:
-
Cosmetic Bonding
-
Crown lengthening ("Gum lift") procedures with local periodontal specialists.
Our smile makeovers address a variety of cosmetic concerns, including:
Stained Teeth
Discoloration can detract from an otherwise perfect smile. We offer both in-office and at-home teeth whitening options, selecting the right shade to match your complexion for a bright, beautiful smile.
Tooth Alignment
Crooked or misaligned teeth can benefit from orthodontic treatment. We offer both Invisalign & Dandy clear aligners, a discreet alternative to traditional braces, to help you achieve a straight smile.
Tooth Shape
The size and shape of your teeth are important factors in your smile. We may recommend porcelain or composite veneers to cover gaps, small teeth, misshapen teeth, and stains, giving you a flawless smile.
Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can affect both the appearance and health of your smile. Dental implants are a permanent and natural-looking solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, helping to maintain the health of neighboring teeth and overall oral health.
Our team is highly skilled in the arts of cosmetic dentistry and knows how to design smiles that complement everyone’s unique features. When creating your custom treatment plan, we consider factors like your age, eye color, and facial features to determine the look that suits you best. In fact, matching the aesthetics of dental restorations to an individual was Dr. Will's honors project in dental school.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a smile makeover?
A: A smile makeover combines two or more cosmetic treatments- such as veneers, whitening, implants, or clear aligners- to improve the overall appearance of your smile. Dr. Will creates each plan around your specific features, including your age, eye color, and facial structure.
Q: Do I need to have all treatments done at once?
A: No. Smile makeovers are done in stages. We'll outline your full treatment plan at your consultation, then schedule each step in an order that makes clinical and practical sense for you.
Q: How do I know which treatments I need?
A: We'll discuss your goals at your first visit. Based on what's bothering you most: staining, shape, gaps, missing teeth. We'll recommend the combination that gives you the best result with the least unnecessary work.
Q: Does Clinton Dental Group offer veneers and dental implants in-house?
A: Yes. We offer porcelain and composite veneers, dental implants (placed with our oral surgery partners), teeth whitening, and clear aligners all from our Clinton, NJ office.
Q: How long does a smile makeover take?
A: It depends on which treatments are involved. A whitening-and-veneers makeover might take a few weeks. A plan involving implants or orthodontics can take several months. We'll give you a realistic timeline at your consultation.
Q: Is a smile makeover covered by dental insurance?
A: Cosmetic procedures like veneers and whitening are typically not covered. However, if part of your plan involves implants or crowns for functional reasons, those may qualify for partial coverage. We'll help you understand what applies to your plan.
