When you need more than just a touch-up.
If your smile needs work in several places at once — missing teeth, worn-down teeth, gum issues, cosmetic concerns — a smile makeover (also called full mouth reconstruction) gives you one coordinated plan instead of a string of disconnected procedures. Done right, it transforms not just how your smile looks, but how it works and how you feel.
It’s a bigger commitment than a single procedure, but for the right patient, nothing else compares.
“A smile makeover changes how people feel about themselves. We’ve watched patients walk in nervous and walk out beaming. It’s one of the most rewarding things we do.”
Who is a smile makeover for?
- You have multiple missing teeth or have been wearing dentures
- Years of wear, grinding, or acid have worn your teeth down
- You have a mix of cosmetic and functional concerns — chips, gaps, color, bite issues
- Old dental work needs to be replaced or updated
- You want a complete refresh, not a piece-by-piece approach
- You’re ready to invest in a long-term solution
What a smile makeover might include
Every plan is different — because every smile is different. Your plan might combine:
- Dental implants to replace missing teeth
- Crowns or veneers to rebuild damaged teeth
- Cosmetic bonding or contouring for smaller refinements
- Professional whitening for color
- Invisalign if alignment needs work first
- Gum reshaping for a more balanced smile
- Bite correction so your new smile feels as good as it looks
How the process works
1. Comprehensive consultation
We’ll do a thorough exam, take 3D scans and photos, and have a real conversation about what you want and what’s bothering you. There’s no rush.
2. Your custom plan
Dr. Chin will design a complete plan — usually with a digital preview of your final smile — and walk you through every step, the timeline, and the cost. Everything is transparent before you commit to anything.
3. Phased treatment
Smile makeovers happen in phases, usually over several months. We start with anything urgent (gum health, infections, structural issues), then move into the cosmetic and reconstructive work. You’ll always know what’s coming next.
4. Ongoing care
Once your new smile is complete, we’ll set up a maintenance routine to keep it looking and working beautifully for years to come.
How much does a smile makeover cost?
Cost varies a lot depending on what’s involved — anywhere from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. We’ll give you a complete, transparent estimate before any work begins, including phased options if that helps. Many patients use a combination of insurance, our membership plan, and financing to make it work.
Why our integrated approach matters here
Smile makeovers are complex. The bite has to work. The gum line has to be even. Everything has to function as well as it looks — and stay that way for decades. That’s why Dr. Chin’s whole-health approach is such a fit for this kind of work. We don’t just design a pretty smile — we design one that lasts.
