Meet Our Patient

For one of our recent patients, a 67-year-old woman, a smile makeover was the perfect way to enter retirement with confidence and joy. She had concerns about chipped teeth, discoloration, and misalignment, and she wanted a bright, flawless smile for her upcoming retirement party. We helped her achieve the Hollywood-white smile she always dreamed of with a completely customized treatment plan. And just in time for her big celebration!

The Smile Makeover Process

Every smile makeover is unique, tailored to your specific needs and goals. In this case, our patient had chipped edges, deep stains that resisted whitening, and a misaligned bite. To address these concerns, we combined multiple cosmetic and restorative dental treatments.

1. Invisalign for a Perfect Bite

Before we focused on the aesthetics, our patient worked with an orthodontist to correct her malocclusion (misaligned bite) using Invisalign. This clear aligner system gently shifted her teeth into proper alignment, improving both function and appearance. Straight teeth create a more balanced, symmetrical look and help prevent excessive wear on dental restorations, giving us a great foundation for long-term smile success.

2. Porcelain Veneers for a Bright, Even Smile

Since traditional teeth whitening treatments couldn’t give her the shade change she was hoping for, we used porcelain veneers to achieve the bright, white smile she wanted. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of teeth, masking discoloration, chips, and other imperfections.

We placed veneers on all the teeth that show when she smiles. Partnering with our talented dental lab, we crafted her veneers to look completely natural and matched them to existing crowns on her back teeth, which were still strong and healthy, ensuring a uniform, dazzling smile.

3. A Rapid, Efficient Process

One of the best aspects of this transformation was the efficiency of treatment. We completed her smile makeover in just under three weeks, which included:

• An initial consultation to assess her needs and plan her treatment.
• A wax-up model to preview her new smile.
• Preparing her teeth and placing temporary restorations.
• Finalizing her veneers and crowns for a perfect fit and natural look.
• Delivering an upper occlusal guard and a lower retainer to maintain her results.

The Life-Changing Impact of a Smile Makeover

A smile makeover is more than just a cosmetic upgrade. It’s a transformation that can boost confidence and enhance quality of life. Our patient was thrilled with her results, not only because her teeth looked stunning, but also because they felt stronger and healthier. She received countless compliments at her retirement party, and she now enjoys smiling without hesitation.

Here are some of the benefits of a smile makeover, at any stage in life!

Boosted Confidence

A beautiful smile can make you feel more self-assured in social situations. Whether at a family gathering, a professional event, or simply out in public, knowing your teeth look great allows you to smile freely and engage with others without worry.

Improved Oral Health and Function

Aligning the bite with Invisalign and protecting the teeth with an occlusal guard helps preserve long-term oral health. When teeth fit together correctly, there’s less risk of uneven wear, TMJ issues, or future dental problems.

A New Chapter with a New Smile

Retirement is an exciting time, and there’s no better way to start this new chapter than with a radiant, confident smile. Whether you’re planning travel, spending time with loved ones, or pursuing new hobbies, a smile makeover ensures you do it all with self-assurance and joy.
