How Does a Smile Makeover Work?
Every smile makeover at Martinez Dentistry begins with a consultation with Dr. Martinez. Initially, he’ll run some diagnostics on your teeth, gums, and facial bone structure. This information is important as it determines which treatments you can have first. Even if a procedure you’re hoping for isn’t possible now, Dr. Martinez will lay out a path so you can get it later.
Dr. Martinez will then go over possible treatments that can help with the issues that bother you the most. Some of these procedures include:
- Porcelain Veneers: Cover the front of affected teeth with a hard, stain-resistant porcelain shell to reshape and revitalize.
- Metal-Free Dental Restorations: Our dental crowns, bridges, and fillings use durable tooth-colored materials to repair teeth and hide flaws.
- Cosmetic Dental Bonding: Dental resin is applied to bothersome teeth and hardened, restoring aesthetics and functionality.
- Teeth Whitening: Concentrated whitening agents are used to remove stubborn stains and brighten your teeth.
- BOTOX or Dermal Fillers: These injected treatments can be used to give your face a smoother, plumper, and more youthful

Smile Makeover FAQs
How Many Treatments Can You Include in a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover can include a variety of treatments, tailored to your specific needs and goals. Common treatments include teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, crowns, bridges, orthodontics (like Invisalign), and gum contouring. The number of treatments in a smile makeover varies depending on the condition of your teeth and your desired results. Some may need just one or two treatments, while others might require a combination of several. Your dentist will work with you to design a personalized plan that achieves your ideal smile.
Does a Smile Makeover Hurt?
Yes, a smile makeover can be highly effective in transforming your smile. By combining cosmetic dental treatments like veneers, teeth whitening, and orthodontics, a smile makeover addresses multiple aesthetic concerns such as discoloration, misalignment, gaps, or uneven teeth. The results can enhance your appearance and boost your confidence. However, the effectiveness depends on proper planning, the skill of the dentist, and your oral health. We employ a personalized approach to ensure that the treatments align with your specific needs and goals, leading to a satisfying outcome.
Can A Smile Makeover Align Your Smile, Bite, or Jaw?
A smile makeover primarily focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth and smile, but it can also address issues with your bite or jaw alignment. Treatments like orthodontics (braces or Invisalign) and dental crowns can help realign your teeth and improve your bite. In some cases, jaw alignment issues might require more extensive procedures, such as orthognathic surgery, which can be part of a comprehensive smile makeover plan. We will assess your specific needs to determine the best course of action for both aesthetics and function.
Is a Smile Makeover Covered by Insurance?
Smile makeovers are typically considered cosmetic procedures, so most dental insurance plans do not cover them. However, if the treatment includes procedures that are medically necessary, such as fixing a misaligned bite or repairing damaged teeth, some insurance plans might cover part of the cost. It's essential to check with your insurance provider to understand what is covered under your plan. In many cases, dentists offer financing options or payment plans to help manage the cost of a smile makeover, and we are no exception. We work with CareCredit, which can be a useful resource for patients who are nervous about the prospect of paying for dental care all at once.
