Smile Makeover FAQs
Our dentist answers the questions patients ask most before getting a crown.

What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a customized plan that combines cosmetic and restorative treatments to improve the color, shape, spacing, and balance of your smile. Dr. Reem designs each plan around your goals and the condition of your teeth and gums.
Am I a good candidate for a smile makeover?
Many adults with healthy gums and teeth that can support treatment may be candidates. Decay or gum disease usually needs to be treated first, and Dr. Reem reviews your bite, gums, and goals during your consultation before recommending a plan.
Should I whiten my teeth before getting veneers or crowns?
In many cases, yes. Veneers and crowns are color-matched to your natural teeth when they are made, so whitening first helps them blend together. Dr. Reem will tell you whether whitening fits into your plan.
How long do smile makeover results last?
It depends on the treatments involved and how well you care for them. Veneers and crowns can last many years with good home care and regular checkups, but veneers may chip, crack, or wear down over time and need repair or replacement.
Does insurance cover a smile makeover?
Coverage depends on the treatments in your plan. Cosmetic procedures are often not covered, while treatments that restore function may be partly covered. Our team can review your options before treatment, and we offer flexible financing through CareCredit and Cherry.
What Your Smile Makeover Consultation Involves
Strong, natural-looking and built to last
Building the right plan takes careful evaluation before any treatment begins, starting with a comprehensive exam. Here is what you can expect as Dr. Reem guides you through the process.
Discussing Your Goals
Dr. Reem starts by listening to what you would like to change about your smile, whether that’s color, shape, spacing, or a combination of concerns.
Evaluating Your Bite
A review of how your teeth meet when you bite down helps determine whether any functional issues need to be addressed alongside your cosmetic goals.
Checking Your Gum Health
Healthy gums are an important foundation for cosmetic work, so Dr. Reem checks for signs of gum disease first. If your gum line affects your smile, our periodontist, Dr. Haider, can discuss gum reshaping.
Reviewing Tooth Color and Alignment
Assessing the color, shape, and alignment of your teeth helps Dr. Reem determine which treatments, and in what order, will help you reach your goals.
Smile Makeovers Built Around Your Goals
Sometimes a single treatment is not enough to address everything you would like to change about your smile. Discoloration, chips, gaps, and worn teeth often show up together, and treating them one at a time can feel disjointed.
As part of our cosmetic dentistry services, Dr. Reem Alramli, DMD, designs custom smile makeovers at Harmony Cosmetic Dentistry and Implants that combine cosmetic and restorative treatments into a single, coordinated plan. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, your plan is built around your specific goals and the current condition of your teeth.
Smile Makeover vs. Single-Procedure Treatment
Not every smile needs a full makeover, so we start by looking at how many concerns you have and how they relate to each other.
Smile Makeover
If multiple concerns are affecting your smile at once, such as discoloration paired with chips or gaps, combining treatments into one coordinated plan can create a more consistent, complete result than addressing each issue separately over time. Treating everything together also allows each step to be planned around the others, so the final result feels cohesive.
Single-Procedure Treatment
If you have one specific concern, such as a single stained tooth or a small chip, an individual treatment like a filling or a single veneer may fully address it without the need for a broader plan. This approach is often quicker and more straightforward, since it focuses on solving one isolated issue rather than coordinating multiple steps.
Protects Weak Teeth
Covers cracked or heavily filled teeth so they do not break further.
Easy to Care For
Brush and floss as normal. No special cleaning routine needed.
Natural Look
Porcelain shade-matched to your smile, so it blends right in.
After a Root Canal
Seals and strengthens a tooth once a root canal is complete.
Digital Precision
Digital X-rays and impressions for an accurate, comfortable fit.
Built to Last
With good care, a crown can last 15 years or more.
Why Order Matters in Your Treatment Plan
When more than one treatment is part of your smile makeover, the sequence can affect how well everything comes together. Because veneers and dental crowns are color-matched to your teeth when they are made, teeth whitening beforehand helps your natural teeth and new restorations look consistent rather than mismatched down the road.
The same logic applies to health-first steps. The American Dental Association notes that decay or gum disease should be treated before veneers are placed, since veneers over unhealthy teeth may worsen existing problems. Building your plan in the right order helps avoid redoing work later and gives your result a stronger foundation.
Signs You May Need a Crown
- A cracked, chipped or broken tooth
- A large, old filling that is wearing out
- Pain when biting or chewing
- A tooth that has had a root canal
- A worn-down or discoloured tooth

We understand that Medicare and Medicaid don't cover implants, which can make the decision to proceed difficult. But waiting could end up costing more in both health and overall well-being.

For years, he lived with daily tooth pain, sore gums, and the constant worry that came with failing teeth. Smiling felt uncomfortable, eating many of his favorite foods was nearly impossible, and years of negative dental experiences left him anxious about every appointment.
For years, Kelsey struggled with severe dental issues that affected every aspect of her life. Eating became painful, she lost a significant amount of weight because she couldn't enjoy food, and she found herself hiding behind her smile. More than just confidence, it impacted her self-worth and prevented her from fully expressing herself.
