Are You a Potential Candidate for a Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover can be a tremendous boon to your smile’s health, function, and appearance. If you have teeth worn, stained, damaged, crooked, or missing, a smile makeover can bring your smile back to life! Dr. Alonzo Bell from The Bell Dental Group in Alexandria, Virginia, has compiled a list of frequently asked questions about this treatment to better understand what a smile makeover can do for you.Â
What is a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is a personalized cosmetic dental treatment that uses multiple procedures to enhance your smile. Although the main focus of this treatment is to boost your smile’s aesthetics, we can also improve its health and function. Depending on the state of your smile, your makeover may address problems with crooked, stained, damaged, gapped, crowded, or missing teeth.
What cosmetic dental procedures may be included in a smile makeover?
Smile makeovers are personalized treatments tailored to our patients’ individual needs. After assessing your smile and discussing your smile goals, Dr. Bell can guide you to the procedures that will best achieve the results you desire. However, you have the final say in what you want to incorporate into your treatment. Some common procedures we often use for smile makeovers include:Â
- Porcelain crowns and veneers
- Teeth whitening
- Dental bonding
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Braces or clear aligner therapyÂ
- Dental bridges or implants
How long does it take to complete a smile makeover?
The completion timeframe will vary from person to person, depending on the problems you want to fix. If your makeover includes time-consuming procedures like implants or orthodontics, it could take a year or longer to complete. In contrast, a smile makeover consisting of crowns, veneers, teeth whitening, or bonding may take a matter of weeks.

How long do the results of a smile makeover last?
That depends on how well you care for your new teeth and your chosen procedures. Modern restorations like porcelain crowns and veneers are extremely durable and can last 15+ years with good oral care. Implants can last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene habits and regular dental cleanings are key to keeping your new smile healthy, strong, and attractive long-term.
