Smile Makeover
A smile makeover is a custom-tailored treatment plan designed to address a number of your structural and cosmetic concerns simultaneously. Some individuals come to Austin Dental Spa and have a multitude of small dental imperfections – such as chips, stains, or a “gummy” smile – and prefer to correct them all in a short period of time for a faster, more dramatic transformation. By giving your teeth and gums a full makeover, you can achieve a smile that looks beautiful and healthy.
Benefits of Smile Makeover
With a variety of restorative and restorative dentistry techniques available, a smile makeover can offer you a wide range of benefits. A smile makeover is commonly used to:
- Whiten teeth
- Conceal chips and cracks
- Restore worn or disproportionate teeth
- Eliminate gaps between teeth
- Address minor problems with misalignment
- Replace missing teeth
- Reshape the gums
By carefully listening to your unique aesthetic goals, Dr. Mark Sweeney and Dr. Jordan Slagter can design a treatment plan to help improve the appearance of your teeth and gums for a beautiful smile.
Smile Makeover Procedure
Since each smile makeover is custom-tailored to meet the individual needs and expectations of each person, the details of the procedure will vary from patient to patient. During the consultation process, you and your dentist will review the benefits of the restorative and cosmetic treatments that can give you your dream smile. Treatment options for a smile makeover may include:
Teeth Whitening
Our advanced methods of teeth whitening include use of Zoom!® Advanced Power™, one of the most cutting-edge tooth whitening technologies available. With a light source that allows more effective penetration of the treatment’s state-of-the-art bleaching gel, patients can lighten their teeth by several shades during a single appointment. For patients with severely stained teeth that requires stronger treatment, our professional dentists alternatively offer the KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System – a revolutionary process with the ability to address even the deepest of stains.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can be a superior way to mask gaps, chips, misalignments, stains, and other aesthetic imperfections in teeth. Porcelain typically offers durability beyond compare, blends into your surrounding teeth, and remains resistant to coffee, wine, and tobacco stains. Your veneers will be custom-designed for a precise, comfortable fit, and affixed to your natural teeth in a minimally-invasive procedure. In as short as two office visits, you can enjoy a renewed smile with results that last for decades.

Dental Implants
Dental implants can be a highly effective tooth restoration technique that addresses many of the limitations that traditional dentures present. Missing or severely damaged teeth not only present an aesthetic insecurity, but can also have consequential effects on oral function and overall health. Commonly, dentures have been utilized as a solution; however, for some patients, eating, speaking, and drinking can displace ill-fitting dentures or cause them to shift uncomfortably against gums. Dental implants are designed to be permanently secured into your jawbone, mimicking the function of a natural tooth root. Topped off with a customized dental crown, a dental implant can help you restore both form and function in your teeth with natural-looking results that feel as though you never lost a tooth in the first place!

Gum Reshaping
Many patients struggle with smiles that reveal an excessive amount of gum tissue, causing teeth to appear “short” or dominated by a prominent gumline. Our gum reshaping and recontouring procedures often utilize advanced laser technology to remove excess gum tissue with unparalleled precision. This one-time procedure typically involves little to no recovery time. After treatment, many patients feel more confident that their new smile no longer has to be obscured by a disproportionate gumline.

You and your dentist will discuss the timeline of your smile makeover in the preoperative planning stages. Some smile makeover treatments may require several appointments to complete. For patients who experience dental anxiety, we also offer sedation techniques to make you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. Depending upon the number and type of procedures performed, the nature of your recovery will vary. After your smile makeover, you can take pride in a smile that is straighter, proportionate, and more vibrant.
