Smile Makeover

Your Dream Smile, Designed Around You

A smile makeover is not a single procedure — it is a comprehensive, customized treatment plan that combines multiple cosmetic and restorative dental services to address everything you want to change about your smile. Whether your concerns are cosmetic, functional, or both, Dr. Alex Planes creates a personalized roadmap that takes you from where you are to the smile you've always envisioned.

As an artist trained in dental technology since age 12, Dr. Planes approaches every smile makeover as a creative and clinical collaboration. He considers your facial features, skin tone, personality, and lifestyle alongside your dental health to design a result that is uniquely, beautifully yours.

What a Smile Makeover Can Include

• Porcelain Veneers — to reshape, resize, and perfect the appearance of individual teeth
• Professional Teeth Whitening — to dramatically brighten the shade of your smile
• Invisalign® Clear Aligners — to correct crowding, spacing, and alignment issues
• Dental Crowns — to restore severely damaged, decayed, or broken teeth
• Dental Implants — to replace missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking restorations
• Gum Contouring — to create a balanced, symmetrical gum line
• Tooth-Colored Fillings — to replace old metal restorations with natural-looking composite
• Bonding — to repair minor chips, cracks, or gaps quickly and affordably

The Smile Makeover Process

Step 1 — Comprehensive Consultation: Dr. Planes begins with an in-depth conversation about your smile goals, concerns, and aesthetic preferences. We review photographs and, where appropriate, use digital smile design tools to visualize potential outcomes before any treatment begins.

Step 2 — Full Evaluation: A complete examination of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw is conducted to identify any underlying issues that must be addressed first. Your oral health is always the foundation of any cosmetic plan.

Step 3 — Custom Treatment Plan: Dr. Planes creates a detailed, sequenced plan outlining every procedure, timeline, and estimated investment. You'll know exactly what to expect from start to finish before committing to a single step.

Step 4 — Treatment Execution: Procedures are sequenced strategically — typically foundational and functional work first, then cosmetic refinements. We coordinate appointments to minimize your chair time while maximizing results.

Step 5 — Reveal & Maintenance: The moment you see your completed smile is something our team genuinely looks forward to. We also provide a comprehensive maintenance plan to protect your investment for years to come.
