What is a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a custom treatment program created just for you which helps address issues that affect the way your smile looks. In smile design, Dr. Cohen works with each patient separately to learn about the issues which make them unhappy and offer treatment suggestions designed to help address those concerns and other issues the patient may not be aware of. When programs include multiple treatments, Dr. Cohen will explain the program he will use to help you finally get that appealing smile you deserve.
What is the Best Way for me to Decide What Issues I Want to Address?
Prior to your office visit, you can help decide which concerns you’d like to address by smiling in the mirror. Critically evaluate your smile and take notes. Ask yourself questions like:
- Are your teeth stained or crooked?
- Are there gaps?
- Are the edges uneven?
- Are your teeth asymmetrical in shape or size?
- What do you notice right away that makes you unhappy?
Make a list of your specific concerns. The doctor can then identify the appropriate procedures which can see to those issues so you get the best results.

Dr. Cohen and The Dental Sedation Center specialize in smile makeovers, ensuring every aspect of our patients’ smile is addressed.
Is There Any Pain or Discomfort Associated With a Smile Makeover?

Can a Smile Makeover Address Teeth That Are Too Short or Too Long?
Yes, a smile makeover can effectively address teeth that are too short or too long. Dr. Cohen utilizes treatments like veneers and reshaping to achieve ideal teeth proportions for a balanced and beautiful smile.
How Many Appointments Are Typically Required for a Smile Makeover?
The number of appointments varies depending on the patient’s specific needs. Dr. Cohen will provide a detailed treatment plan during the initial consultation, outlining the number of appointments required to achieve your smile makeover.
Does a Smile Makeover Last?

What Types of Procedures Are Used in Smile Makeovers?
That depends on your own personal concerns. Usually, smile makeovers include several different techniques including correcting crooked teeth, closing gaps, addressing teeth that appear overly large or otherwise misshapen, restoring defects such as chips, cracks, and discoloration, filling gaps made by missing teeth with bridges or crowns, and numerous other restorative procedures.
Are Smile Makeovers Covered by Insurance?
This will depend on your insurance provider and the treatments you need to undergo. Some treatments such as bridges and crowns can be covered. However, cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening usually are not. Contact the office with any questions about your insurance coverage.
