Smile Makeovers — Digitally Planned, Custom Built

A smile makeover isn't a procedure — it's a plan. We combine veneers, crowns, whitening, and sometimes implants into a single coordinated treatment that transforms your smile as one connected whole. Designed digitally, previewed before any tooth is touched.

Every makeover is different

No two smile makeovers look alike because no two smiles do. A typical case might combine veneers on the front 6–8 teeth, whitening on remaining teeth, gum contouring, and replacement of old crowns — all planned to work as one connected smile.

What doesn't change: we plan the whole case digitally before starting. You see a photographic preview of your final smile. You approve the design. Only then do we touch a tooth.

  • Veneers and crowns — For chips, shape, color, spacing, and proportion
  • Professional whitening — On any remaining natural teeth, to match the restorations
  • Gum contouring — Where gum line is uneven or shows too much gum
  • Implants or bridges — If there are missing teeth affecting the smile zone
  • Bite correction — Night-guards, occlusal adjustment, or clear aligners before restorations

From consult to new smile

Makeover cases run 4–12 weeks depending on complexity. Every case starts with a design before any procedure.

What makes ours different

The difference between a good makeover and a great one is the planning and the craftsmanship. Ours are designed as a complete system.

APP 01

Previewed, not promised

Before any tooth is touched, you see a digital photo of the proposed result on your face. And a physical mock-up you can try in your mouth.

APP 02

One clinician, whole case

Dr. Siddiqui personally designs and executes every case. No referrals, no handoffs to an associate.

APP 03

Built to last

We finish every makeover with a custom-fabricated nightguard. The most common way veneers fail is grinding — we protect against that from day one.

Full upper reconstruction

A recent smile makeover rebuilding a broken and compromised upper arch — crowns and restorative dentistry planned and delivered as a single coordinated case.

Frequently asked

How long does a smile makeover take?
Simple cases (4-6 veneers + whitening): 3–4 weeks. Full cases with multiple procedures: 8–12 weeks. Complex reconstructions with implants: 4–6 months. We lay out a timeline at your design appointment.
Can I see what my new smile will look like before starting?
Yes. Every case includes a digital photographic preview and a physical 3D-printed mock-up you can try in your mouth. You approve the design before any tooth is touched. No surprises.
Will a makeover look obvious?
Not when designed well. We match veneers to your face shape, skin tone, personality, and age. A subtle makeover is the hardest to detect — friends notice you look better, but not why.
Do I need to fix my bite first?
Sometimes. If your bite is causing tooth wear or headaches, we address that before cosmetic work. Putting veneers on top of a broken bite is how veneer cases fail. Dr. Siddiqui evaluates bite at consultation.
Can insurance help?
Pure cosmetic work (whitening, elective veneers) is not covered. Restorative components (crowns on broken teeth, gum disease treatment, implants for missing teeth) often are. We'll break down what's coverable.
How do I make sure it lasts?
Three things: (1) nightguard, fabricated for you after treatment, (2) regular cleanings every 6 months, (3) avoid biting hard objects. With this routine, makeovers routinely last 15+ years.
