Not sure if a smile makeover is right for you? Consider the following signs that it might be time for a transformation:
If any of these sound familiar, a smile makeover at Arlington Dental Excellence can help you regain confidence and love your smile again.
A Smile Makeover is a comprehensive and personalized approach to enhancing your smile's overall look and health. It involves assessing multiple aspects of your teeth, gums, and facial features to create a custom plan that aligns with your unique goals and preferences.
Rather than offering a standard solution, a smile makeover considers your facial structure, dental alignment, tooth proportions, and even how your smile complements your personality. The result is a beautifully balanced smile that feels natural, functions comfortably, and reflects your best version.
A smile makeover is a powerful investment in your confidence, oral health, and overall well-being. Here’s how it can truly transform your life:
A confident, healthy smile can elevate your quality of life, open new opportunities, and make everyday moments more enjoyable. At Arlington Dental Excellence, your transformation begins with the right smile makeover.
At Arlington Dental Excellence, we provide a full range of cosmetic and restorative treatments to help you achieve a truly personalized smile transformation. Here are the most common treatments we offer:
Professional teeth whitening is one of the quickest and most effective ways to enhance your smile. Over time, foods, beverages, and lifestyle habits can cause stains and discoloration. Our in-office and take-home whitening treatments use safe, high-concentration formulas to remove deep stains and restore a noticeably brighter shade. Unlike over-the-counter products, our whitening options deliver more consistent results with minimal sensitivity. Whether prepping for a special occasion or wanting a more youthful look, teeth whitening can refresh your appearance with minimal time and effort.
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells custom-made to bond to the front of your teeth, instantly improving their color, shape, size, or alignment. Veneers are ideal for chipped, discolored, misshapen, or slightly crooked teeth. They look natural, resist staining, and last for many years with proper care. Our dentists work with you to select the perfect shade and shape that complements your facial features. Veneers offer a dramatic improvement with a minimally invasive procedure, making them a popular option for patients seeking a Hollywood-style smile transformation.
Invisalign is a discreet and comfortable way to straighten misaligned teeth without traditional metal braces. Using a series of custom clear aligners, Invisalign gently shifts your teeth into better alignment over time. It’s an excellent solution for correcting crowding, gaps, and bite issues in teens and adults. The removable aligners allow you to easily eat, brush, and floss. Many smile makeover plans include Invisalign as a foundational step before adding other cosmetic enhancements like whitening or veneers. If you're seeking straighter teeth with flexibility and minimal disruption to your lifestyle, Invisalign may be right for you.
Dental bonding is a fast, cost-effective cosmetic treatment involving tooth-colored resin to repair minor flaws. It’s ideal for correcting small chips, cracks, gaps, or discoloration. The bonding material is sculpted and polished to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. Unlike veneers or crowns, bonding requires little to no tooth preparation and can often be completed in a single visit. Though not as durable as other options, it provides an excellent temporary or budget-friendly solution. Dental bonding can be a valuable part of a smile makeover when you want quick aesthetic improvements with minimal commitment.
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth while restoring their shape, size, and appearance. They’re commonly used for teeth undergoing significant decay, fractures, or root canal treatment. In smile makeovers, crowns are especially useful when aesthetics and strength are priorities. We offer crowns in durable, natural-looking materials like porcelain or ceramic to ensure they blend beautifully with your existing teeth. With a crown, you can regain the ability to bite and chew comfortably while improving your smile's appearance.
If your smile looks “gummy” or your gum line appears uneven, gum contouring can help. This procedure involves reshaping the gum tissue to create a more balanced and proportionate smile. Often performed with a laser for precision and minimal discomfort, gum contouring can correct excessive gum coverage, improve symmetry, and expose more of your natural tooth surface. It’s a simple yet impactful treatment that can dramatically improve the aesthetics of your smile. Gum contouring is often combined with veneers or whitening as part of a comprehensive makeover for even more stunning results.
Missing teeth can significantly affect your smile's appearance, function, and health. Dental implants and bridges are two effective solutions for replacing one or more missing teeth. Implants involve placing a titanium post into the jawbone to support a lifelike restoration, providing unmatched stability and longevity. On the other hand, bridges use adjacent teeth for support and are a good option when implants aren’t feasible. Both choices restore your ability to chew, speak, and confidently smile. Replacing missing teeth is often crucial to a smile makeover to ensure a complete and functional result.
Your smile makeover at Arlington Dental Excellence starts with a focused, one-on-one consultation to understand your needs and goals. Here’s what you can expect:
The duration of a smile makeover depends entirely on the type and number of treatments included in your plan.

There’s no ideal age. What matters most is your oral health and personal goals. Many patients begin considering a smile makeover in their 20s and continue into their 60s or beyond. You can enhance your smile at nearly any age if your teeth and gums are healthy.
If you're on a budget, treatments like professional teeth whitening, dental bonding, or composite veneers can offer noticeable improvements at a lower cost. These options enhance aesthetics without major procedures, making them perfect for patients seeking cost-effective ways to refresh their smile.
A mini smile makeover focuses on small, aesthetic improvements such as teeth whitening, bonding, or contouring. It’s best for patients with minor imperfections who want quick, affordable enhancements without undergoing more extensive cosmetic or restorative work.
